Gigabyte GV-N595U 256MB Review @ Hardware Zone
Published: Thursday, January 29, 2004 | By: Dennis"The RADEON 9800 PRO was the better performer at lower resolutions while the FX 5900 Ultra and FX 5950 Ultra dominated the high-end resolutions. Given the performance delta between the FX 5900 Ultra and the RADEON 9800 PRO 128MB at high resolutions, we can’t be too sure how helpful a 256MB frame buffer would be for the ATI card."
The current buzz is that the 9800XT is faster overall, though I doubt that anyone will notice 300+ FPS.

Gigabyte GA-K8VNXP Review @ Bjorn3D
Published: Thursday, January 29, 2004 | By: DennisHere is something that has never sat well with me ever since I first saw it on an Albratron (almost Gigabyte) motherboard.
"However, this one little thing that could be a negative aspect of this layout actually turned out to be a positive one once I realized that having the floppy connector located there prevents the ugly, air-blocking floppy cable from being strewn across the motherboard. In other words, when the motherboard is installed, the floppy connector ends up being close to where the floppy drive usually is in a mid-tower case."
Don't get me wrong the floppy is almost dead and really the location of the connector prolly doesn't matter much but the way I see it, why bother putting it on the board to begin with if the connector is under the last PCI slot? -
The Most Hated Company In Tech
Published: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 | By: Dennis"Even though Caldera's revenues were declining, it was losing $5 million per quarter, and its stock had slid below the $1 NASDAQ delisting price, the reaction of outgoing CEO Ransom Love was instantaneous. "Don't do it," Love says he told McBride. "You don't want to take on the entire Linux community.""
So you think they will go under for this?
I dunno but the stupid dropdown menus on the businessweek site need to. -
SCO issues bounty for MyDoom creator
Published: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 | By: DennisWanted alive or alive - 250K for whoever wrote that virus.
"SCO has incurred the wrath of the Linux community for its claims that important pieces of the open-source operating system are covered by SCO's Unix copyrights. IBM, Novell and other Linux backers strongly dispute the claims."
Everyone is being a bunch of third graders in this whole thing. SCO, being the evil principal, has put the word out that whoever put the gum in little Suzie's hair is going down. Meanwhile, the kids in the playground are just laughing.
I suppose you can change the timeframe to college or high school but 3rd grade just seemed fitting. -

New virus infects PCs, whacks SCO
Published: Tuesday, January 27, 2004 | By: Dennis"Once the virus infects a Windows-running PC, it installs a program that allows the computer to be controlled remotely. The program primes the PC to send data to the SCO Group's Web server, starting Feb. 1, a virus researcher said on the condition of anonymity."
Maybe on Feb 1 we should all just point our browsers and link checkers to the SCO website and let them go to town. -
WinFast A360 Ultra Review @ NextGen Electronics
Published: Tuesday, January 27, 2004 | By: DennisIn one page or less tell us about the WinFast A360 Ultra.
"The theme of this review is definitely "bang for your buck" because that's what the nVidia GeForceFX 5700 Ultra video card provides."
I guess the rest you will have to figure out on your own.

Looking for a Cascade Water Block
Published: Monday, January 26, 2004 | By: DennisI don't normally post requests in the Ninjalane Daily news but I am currently in search of a very rare waterblock called the Cascade. According to the Little River website production of the block has been suspended due to a hiatus, so getting one direct from AU is going to be a problem.
I am curious to know if anyone out there happens to have one of these blocks and would be willing to part with it. I am currently looking for a Pentium 4 version, but can buy a new top if need be.
You can either PM me via the Ninjaforum or email me direct.
