It is an age-old tale of Good vs. Good with one being slightly better than the other. It would seem the faster clock on the Xeon still performs slightly less than the slower Athlon XP on the game side of things. Though much to my surprise some of the tests put the single Xeon as the faster solution.
ViaHardware has posted a preview of this MSI motherboard explaining the features and layout of their latest motherboard. I would guess that is all they are allowed to post considering that the official release of the i845D is still a few days off. What is really strange is that a Via website is one of the first ones to post a preview of an up and coming Intel chipset.
For those of you that do not know what Warez is I will elaborate. Think of a digital flea market of software without the exchange of money. Well as it would turn out the software companies are starting to get pissed off about these "markets" and want them shut down. Here is a clip: "Operation Buccaneer, a 15-month undercover investigation into an alleged community of pirates known as Warez."
A couple of days ago it would seem that few new P4 DDR motherboards where released and as always AKIBA had the scoop. Of the boards listed on the website one of them caught my eye, it was a sexy red one from MSI. I?m not sure what to make of the release since according to the translation via Netscape 6 AKIBA is calling the release a "premature start" for the i845D.
Someone needs to talk to these wireless guys about their number scheme. You would think that 802.11a would be slower than 802.11b but we stand corrected, actually 802.11a operates at 5GHz and is about 5 times faster.
In a quest to be a little different than the competition Triplex has produced a series of video and sound cards with Silver PCB's. AKIBA has the press release and a few photos.
Vandal, not related to my schools mascot, has some pretty cool .pak files for RTCW that make the Elite guards either topless or fully nude.
Well the site isn't in english so I can't really comment on what they have to say but I will say this, Aren't Soltek motherboards usually red?
I did find that LostCircuts has an English review of the same motherboard posted on their site, so check them out and compaire. 
A well-known hacker discovered a routing flaw in the WorldCom network that allowed access to their employee database. Of course the flaw was fixed shortly after it was brought to their attention but still begs the question of why nobody on the inside saw it first.
I won't be buying a GameCube any time soon but it's nice to know what is inside. The GameCube is based around a 485MHz RISC processor and ATI graphics, kind of sounds like a MAC to me. To find out more about the GameCube head on over to Anandtech.
