AMD Bug in Linux
Published: Monday, January 21, 2002 | By: DennisIt would seem that an old bug in the Athlon processor is still causing problems with Linux 2.4 kernel. The Linux/AMD bug is in relation to a compatibility issue with Intel's 4MB page size. (x86 processors have used 4k pages, ever since paging was introduced in the 80386).

[H]ard|OCP Got a Refresh
Published: Monday, January 21, 2002 | By: DennisLooks like Kyle at [H]ard|OCP has finally gotten his new site design online, complete with dynamic database driven content and HTML code that only IE could love (I wouldn't suggest going there with Netscape 6 you will be in for a surprise). Overall the new design and layout is pretty sweet, a much needed update for an old player.

Links Page Updated
Published: Sunday, January 20, 2002 | By: DennisAfter many moons of neglect I have updated the links page. The first order of business was to remove all of the dead ones, this was a given since they didn't go anywhere. Next was to remove the links related to counter strike since it sux now. Lastly, to wrap things up I added bunch more.
I've probably missed quite a few so if you are feeling left out let me know -
Slow Times for DDR333
Published: Sunday, January 20, 2002 | By: DennisOr so says this article. Part of the problem is package of the memory chips. Currently most DDR333 ('cept for Kingston) is TSOP and with 333MHz being close to its timing parameter maximum the production yield is low and memory makers are slow, if not reluctant, to retool the factory to a new format that is not considered a standard. Bottom line, they are cheap.

Corsair XMS PC2400 Review @ PC Stats
Published: Friday, January 18, 2002 | By: DennisI've been doing a little bit of research into Corsair memory lately and I'm finding that its not really not that different or special in compairson to other DDR vendors (cept for Kingston, I'm not a big fan). For instance the PC2400 stuff they sell is actually PC2700 but Corsair down clocked it so they could get the CAS 2.0 rating. Check it out

Soltek KT333 Motherboard SL-75DRV5 released
Published: Thursday, January 17, 2002 | By: DennisI got this press release last night from Soltek stating that they will be building another 75DRV series Athlon motherboard, this time based on the new DDR333 chipset from Via. The board will feature a wide variety of Soltek features including a "Purple Ray" PCB and Red Storm Overclocking in the bios. Soltek has yet to announce the release on their website, Most likely due in part to changing specs of the new motherboard.
Speaking of "Purple Ray" sometime next week the Ninjalane Labs will have the Soltek SL-75DRV4 motherboard that contains this feature, keep an eye out for that review.
