ATI vs. nVidia: Video Wars
Published: Wednesday, June 5, 2002 | By: DennisBeing that I own nVidia stock I shouldn't go around pimping the ATI action but, the R300 sounds just too good. Considering it's the dev card for Doom 3 and is faster then the GF4 (unconfirmed at this point) the nVidia camp might be playing ketchup.
Yes I spelled it right, its a joke. -

Published: Tuesday, June 4, 2002 | By: DennisThe sleepy heads at t-break have a day 2 write up posted and so far they are the first ones to actually visit the Soltek booth.

Anandtech Computex Day 2
Published: Tuesday, June 4, 2002 | By: DennisAnandtech had a good day at Computex as illustrated in their day 2 write-up at the show. Highlights include lots of chipset stuff from Intel, VIA and nVidia. Some info on Dual channel DDR from both Intel and VIA. More stuff on Serial ATA, make sure to check out the Gigabyte pic of a Promise Serial ATA controller with 2 Serial ATA133 connections and one ATA133 40pin connection (this looks to be a promising HDD interface). They even follow up the day with an Asus PDA.

Xbox Security HaxX0r3d
Published: Tuesday, June 4, 2002 | By: DennisLeave it to MIT to crax everything. It would seem that with 50 bux worth of parts and a little time Andrew Huang was able to build a device that would read the contents of the "secret boot block" which contains the xbox's primary security.

Computex Starts This Week
Published: Monday, June 3, 2002 | By: DennisOnce again I am stuck in the states when I could be oversees checking out some of the newest computer hardware available to the public. I suppose I could also use the time to rub elbows with other hardware site webmasters and make some new hardware contacts but thats not really the point.
DigiTimes is kind enough to post a daily newsletter from and about Computex and so far it would appear that despite the "turndown" there is quite a crowd this year. (unlike the 2k1 Comdex). -
IBM Network Storage Solution
Published: Friday, May 31, 2002 | By: DennisIn a way this article sounds like something that has been around for many years now. Can you say "thin client"?, I knew you could. IBM is taking the concept a bit further though by actually removing the storage need from computers and putting all of the data into a single repository. This includes the "thin client" the dev server and even the production servers will contact the repository for their OS needs, and data storage. Kind of makes it easy for the government to get at your stuff huh?
