Supa Small Motherboard from VIA
Published: Wednesday, April 3, 2002 | By: DennisAwww isn't it cute.
Actually for the OEM and Internet appliance market this little guy fits right in. I especially like how you are given one PCI expansion slot. I would have rallied for a PCMCIA or Card Bus slot myself. -
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.
According to this News.com story, since February every download of the Kazaa file-swapping client has included some dormant components. When activated, these components can make every machine with the Kazaa client (and there are tens of millions of them) a node in a distributed computing network.
" 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." -
Pentium 4 2.4GHz Released
Published: Tuesday, April 2, 2002 | By: DennisAnandtech has a 10-page review on the new processor from Intel, and since today is release day just about everybody else has a review up too. That is except for me, I still have to buy my processors and at 600 bones a pop a review just isn't in the budget.

Soltek SL-85DR-C Review Posted
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.

More Intel Dram Issues
Published: Saturday, March 30, 2002 | By: DennisA little while ago we posted a news story saying that the JEDEC may not approve the DDR400 memory spec and I made a comment about how Intel might not like that to much, well I guess I spoke to soon. Here is a snip.
"But sources believe that the chip giant will support the new 333-MHz DDR SDRAM (DDR-333) standard, but will bypass proposed DDR-400 products in favor of a next-generation DRAM architecture called DDR-II."
