Laugh all the way to the Bank
Published: Tuesday, April 2, 2002 | By: DennisThis was sent in by our Network and Security guy Breakdown and as usual he is pretty pissed off when companies decide that they have a right to use YOUR stuff as part of downloading THEIR stuff for FREE.

" The company plans to wake up the millions of computers that have installed its software in as soon as four weeks. It plans to use the machines--with their owners' permission--to host and distribute other companies' content, such as advertising or music. Alternatively, it might borrow people's unused processing power to help with other companies' complicated computing tasks." -

Published: Sunday, March 31, 2002 | By: DennisWhen it comes to to DDR enabled chipsets for the P4 you have 3 choices, Intel, SiS, and VIA. Out of the 3 the Intel i845 doesn't look to be that impressive given its SDRAM roots but when it comes to DDR performance we have just the opposite.

Published: Saturday, March 30, 2002 | By: DennisThis is great and all but they talk about putting tissue and magnets down to catch metal filings is not the proper way to mod your case esp when the components are still installed.
