  • NV30 Rumors from Nvidia?

    Published: Friday, May 10, 2002 | By: Dennis

    Memory running at 900MHz (maybe DDR II) and claiming 200 million polys per second, now that is fast. I'm thinking we will need some larger monitors. Towards the end of the post they speak of ATI's R300 and had this to say.
    "it's going to destroy everything else that's coming out."
    Granted no numbers yet though here is to hoping.

  • [i]Star Wars: Episode II ? Attack of the Clones[/i] Building Hype

    Published: Thursday, May 9, 2002 | By: Dennis

    Personally I'm prolly not going to wait in line to see this movie on opening day like I did for Episode 1 but you never know, it is still a few days off. The reason I even mention it was for the quote factor. "John Challenger, chief executive of the firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas, says that could mean more than $319 million in lost wages for businesses. He says technology firms will take a larger hit than other companies because of the high number of geeks on their payrolls." tongue smile

  • Xbox ModChip

    There have been reports that this is a fake but according to Tweakers Australia and the similar looking ipKonfig.com a new set of pics and videos have been released showing what the modchip can do.

    Gigabit Ethernet has been gaining in popularity in recent months. Though with a limited amount of hubs and switches that support Gigabit it hasn't been a viable solution for the desktop. It would appear that might change.

    I'll have to use that excuse in the future.

    Intel is re-enforcing their DDR presence with two new DDR333 chipsets due to be launched in September, though it seems like a long time to wait considering that SiS and VIA already have DDR333 solutions out or in the works.
    This Digi article also speaks of the new Springdale chipset due to be launched sometime 2Q of 2003 sporting a 600MHz FSB and twin-bank DDR333. shock smile
