• Gigabit Access from your House

  Published: Monday, July 23, 2001 | By: Dennis

  Imagine this, an affordable internet connection that is a 1,000 times faster than a cable modem that is not on a shared network. Sounds too good to be true but could become a reality in the near future.
  
  I didn't see anything in the article about upload speeds so I'm going to assume it to be a 56k modem, though time will tell.

• Tualatin 1.2GHz Review @ HardwareZone

  Published: Friday, July 20, 2001 | By: Dennis

  The HardwareZone has posted a review of the next generation P3 processor, the Tualatin. The specs of this new processor are quite impressive plus the benches show it to be equal to the Athlon at the same speed. The only major drawback is the socket2 format FCPGA2, meaning if you want to upgrade your will need a new Mobo along with the processor.
  Here is the direct link.

• Another GeForce3 The OCZ Titan 3

  Published: Thursday, July 19, 2001 | By: Dennis

  I found a press release for this product at FastGraphics the other day and became quite intrigued in it. The card features a Thermaltake Blue Orb, Copper RAMsinks and enhanced core and memory speeds, 215/515 to be exact. Not sure if there is still room to play but this is still quite an improvement over the stock speed of 200/460.

• Some Drivers Have "Issues"

  Published: Tuesday, July 17, 2001 | By: Dennis

  Here is a funny tidbit, This morning I was having troubles with my Logitech Mouseman and decided to see if any new drivers had been posted. What I found was that some of Logitech's drivers have "issues". Here is a clip
  
  IMPORTANT! It is urgently recommended that all users planning to upgrade to Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 should upgrade to the latest MouseWare immediately. Earlier versions of MouseWare may have issues with Service Pack 2.

  In case any Logitech employees are reading this I hate the new Mouseman styles and the ergo keyboard should have a cord.

• P3 Better than P4??

  Published: Monday, July 16, 2001 | By: Dennis

  That is what the Inquirer has to say. It seems that Intel is holding out on a desktop version of the Tualatin P3 since they claim it will out perform a P4 running at a higher clock speed. That really comes as no surprise since the Tualatin has twice the processor cache. Plus a desktop version isn't high on the list since for now they are in a socket2 format (Xeon).
