Moving to the High-End
Published: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 | By: DennisThere is a growing trend in mobo design lately and it started with Soyo back in 2k1 shortly thereafter Freeway made a brief touch before getting out of the mobo design business completely and now even Soltek is seeing the light.

4.5- and 6-GHz Intel Processors
Published: Monday, June 10, 2002 | By: DennisNot really breaking news but a brief talk about how if you want to run really fast you have to have a lot of energy. I still like how the Mechanic in Mad Max put it. "Speed is just a matter of money. How fast do you want to go?"

Athlon XP "Thoroughbred" Review @ Anandtech
Published: Monday, June 10, 2002 | By: DennisWhat would a product launch be without an Anandtech review? With what I've been reading the title of their article tells it all "Cool but Slipping at 2200+" and any overclock above 1900MHz is most likely faked or a fluke.
