    DDR RAID Audio Graphic (AGP) Overclocking Network USB 2.0. We have heard this acronym over and over in reference to the badass black Athlon motherboard from Soyo. Well they have extended the legacy to include the latest DDR333 chipset from Sis. Though the fun doesn't stop there Soyo also added a "U" which stands for USB 2.0, w00t!

  • To Many Patches for IE

    Published: Sunday, December 16, 2001 | By: Dennis

    Here is a little humor that was sent to me in relation to Microsoft Patches.

    "other patches can be found here:
    www.netscape.com
    www.opera.com
    and others. However, they may not completely protect you, unless you also apply the patch from www.kernel.org or redhat.com."


    Personally I would recommend www.slackware.com over Red Hat any day.
