I've been using the RC1 for a couple of days now and I must say it is a vast improvement over 6.2. Security features are easier to find, browsing is faster, and the tabbed browsing is awesome.
I am currently working on a sidebar page for Netscape 6+ so all of the latest News, Reviews, and Forum posts will be at your fingertips. The trick is you will have to run Netscape to use it.

Much like how Netscape 6 was just an altered version of the mozilla 0.9 browser I suspect Netscape 7 will follow suit being based on Mozilla's 1.0 release, I can't wait.

PCWorld has a biased review of the new browser located here.

A usable Linux desktop for the Windows user might not be that far away. Personally I would have already jumped at the chance of ridding Microsoft from my desktop but many of the apps that I use on a daily basis won't run under Linux. sad smile

This site is littered with Korea speak so us non-Korean speaking peeps will have to settle with looking at pretty pictures. Be warned there is a nasty refresh bug in the gallery section that reloads the page every 20 seconds or so, its really annoying in non-IE browsers.

VIA P4X333 Review @ Anandtech

Published: Monday, May 20, 2002 - By: Dennis
News Source: Ninjalane

I really like the title of this review "VIA's P4X333 - If they only had a License". It would appear that Anand is happy with the performance. In case you didn't know VIA has cornered the market with their AMD chipsets though is producing Pentium 4 chipsets "illegally". In a way it's like driving without a license, nobody can really stop you from doing it and you might be really good but, when you get caught there can be trouble.

This is a typical Celeron offering cept its using a trimmed down Willamette P4 core. The trimmings really hurt overall performance but for less than 100 bones what can you expect.

MSI 845E Max2 Review @ tbreak

MSI seems to be really on the ball when it comes to releasing new products to the public. This board is based on the new Intel 845E Pentium 4 chipset supporting the new 533MHz FSB. Intel still hasn't switched to the current DDR333 trend but that's not a big surprise considering DDRII is coming around the corner.

Gainward GeForce4 Ultra/650TV GS Review @ tbreak

This looks to be a great low-end solution to the GeForce4 line of video cards. Nvidia originally wanted the GF4MX to fill that gap but the chip left much to be desired. Plus the PCB is red. big grin smile

Matrox Parhelia-512 Preview @ HardwareZone

I used to be very loyal to Matrox in the days before AGP was a mainstream video solution. My love of Matrox turned with the release of the G200 with its sub-par gaming performance and lack of tweakable features. I have a feeling that this might all change can you say triple-head gaming?? cool smile I knew you could.

So far no word on framerates but it supports some hella high resolutions.
