Published: Friday, June 28, 2002 | By: DennisNext month VIA will start to sample a couple of new Pentium 4 chipsets. The P4X600 will be a dual channel DDR266/333 DDR design where as the P4X800 will take advantage of DDRII technology. I'm pretty sure this is unconfirmed so take the information will a grain of salt.

Change of Plans to Boost Demand
Published: Friday, June 28, 2002 | By: DennisThis kind of thing is pretty rare for Intel but in the interest of moving product its not a bad idea. The only drawback is that Intel plans to delay their DDR333 chipset and increase shipments of 478 Celerons hoping to increase the lifespan of their current chipsets.

Soltek SL85DR2+L Review @ CPU3D
Published: Friday, June 28, 2002 | By: DennisOne thing that sux about focusing on High Quality and Hard to Get hardware is that the US is the last country in the world to get shipments, and to complicate matters I must offend people when I write emails to companies since nobody ever responds to them.
/Redmax applies Band-Aid to knee
Seriously though this new board is the top of the line model from Soltek with all the bells and whistles. I did notice the absence of the Optional LPC 80 Port Debug LCD in this model and according to the review there is a lack of overclocking features most likely due to the added onboard features. -

Can Your pr0n DVD Hear You??
Published: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 | By: DennisIt would appear that they can, or at least will in the near future. A group in California is working on voice-recognition software for DVD movies. The movies in question are basically first person pr0n videos where the viewer is the star.
"The scenes are filmed to make it appear as if the viewer himself is having sex. "You are the performer," said Wit Maverick, an interactive video director at VCA who, despite his name, has never been a porn actor. "
They also claim to be sending out 1,000 beta copies of The Sleaze Show which contains a stripped-down version of this new software. -
The New Face of pr0n
Published: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 | By: DennisA new subculture in pr0n is cropping up without the pop-up ads. In all reality most of the sites listed in the article have been around for quite some time now but I think wired is out of story ideas.

Overstock on iMacs
Published: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 | By: DennisIt would seem that the iMac supply problem isn't a problem anymore, in fact there are to many iMacs.
So if you are in the market I'd suggest putting on your deal making hat and work toward saving some serious cash. -

Slackware 8.1 Discovery
Published: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 | By: DennisSlackware 8.1 has found a renewed joy in the Ninjalane Labs. I've discovered the XFS patch and with a single command line included XFS support into the 2.4.18 kernel.
I have also opted to downgrade the Linuxbox/router from a dual PIII 450 to a single PII 333. This should save on excess noise in the labs along with allowing me to rest better knowing my dually can move on to bigger and better things. Not that running Linux is bad but rather having both procs running 100% idle for > 150 days just isn't right. -

Published: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 | By: DennisThe gist of the review is we have a great card on paper but fails to deliver under pressure. Reminds me of my first Matrox G200 purchase.
