With more and more games being ported to Linux (i.e. Doom, Quake) the platform looks to be very versatile.
I wonder what will happen once the Linux hacker types get a hold of it. -
The World's First Dual AMD Board
Published: Monday, March 19, 2001 | By: DennisTyan has done it again, this time with the first dual processor AMD motherboard.
Tyan has been known for building high quality motherboards for Mid-range to High-end Workstations and Servers. Knowing this, it is no wonder why they wouldn't jump at the opportunity of building a dually AMD system. -

Customize Ninjalane.com
Published: Tuesday, March 13, 2001 | By: DennisIn an effort to make Ninjalane stand out from the crowd I have started adding some "custom" features. The first of these features is color scheme. There are 4 colors to choose from and when a choice is made a cookie will store your decision.
As of this writing only two pages are using the themes. In the next few weeks I plan to expand this to include all of the top-level pages, and then maybe the rest of the site. -
Hercules Prophet 4500
Published: Monday, March 12, 2001 | By: DennisHercules has announced a new video card that is rumored to be faster than the Nvidia GeForce2 MX and in some cases faster than the GF2 Ultra.
The Prophet 4500 is using the Kyro II chip with 64MB 128Bit SDRAM memory. The RamDac is clocked at 270MHz, which is really one of its major downfalls, though not the only one. The chip only supports AGP 2x.
Regardless from some of the initial benchmarks show this card to be a strong contender for the mid-priced video card market. You can read more about this card and the technology behind it at Riva Station and at Gamers Depot -

Build your own 1U server
Published: Monday, March 12, 2001 | By: DennisI saw this at the virtualhideout this last weekend. I know this is somewhat old but the project is pretty dang cool. Using an old 486, Slackware Linux, some plexiglass, and a Compact Flash "SmartMedia" card they have created a 1U rackmounted webserver.
Reminds me of the "Bare Bones" webserver that I created just this last week.
