Powerstrip has a new build out.

PowerStrip 3.20 provides advanced, multi-monitor, programmable hardware support to a wide range of graphics cards - from the venerable Matrox Millennium I to the latest Radeon 8500DV and GeForce4 Ti4600. It is in fact the only program of its type to support multiple graphics cards from multiple chipset vendors, simultaneously, under every Windows operating system from Windows 95 to XP. A simple menu that pops up from the system tray provides access to some 500 controls over your display hardware, including sophisticated color correction tools, period level adjustments over screen geometry, and driver independent clock controls.

SocketA has a review of Abit's old KT266a board.

Abit has consistently put out Athlon boards that cater to the enthusiast crowd and overclockers. This time around it is no different with the KR7A-133R. If you are looking for a board with the features and high end overclocking then Abit has one for you.

Well, the layout is in place. What does everyone think about it? Please discuss this topic below.

1,580 to be more exact.

Over 600 people face the axe at the company's Compaq plant in Erskine, Scotland. The rest will go from various other UK locations, including Livingstone in Scotland and London and Reading in England..

The INQwell also has a new layout. Seems like it is layout changing season.

Hexus has a review of a DFI i845G action.

So overall, a thumbs up all round but there are certainly areas which DFI could improve on. A range of overclockers BIOS's would shoot their products right up there for example. Lots of Vcore and mem voltage adjust and DFI have a winner in the eyes of the enthusiast. Maybe they'll consider it in the future and we'll certainly put it to them when we talk about future products.

Why not, it runs unix basically.

The testing process could take about a year. Apple needs to jump in now, however, as new regulations require U.S. government agencies to purchase IT products that have either been certified or are in the process of being certified. In the wake of of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the government has taken a much harder look at computer security.

The Hacker Quarterly doesn't want to appeal in the linking of DVD Copy protection code.

The major movies studios sued 2600 in 1999 as part of a broad legal effort to stop the distribution of code that can be used to playback DVDs on computers, known as DeCSS. Developed by open-source programmers, DeCSS quickly spread online and eventually morphed into gestures of protest against Hollywood's legal attacks to restrain it, appearing in poems, songs, T-shirts and ties.

But other stuff may not be so hot. Hey, I got an idea, why don't we all throw away our computers and buy new ones! Wait, I do that already.

Four sectors anticipated to spend heavily on computers across Asia are government, education, financial and small- and medium-sized enterprises, Tay said, adding that a fair amount of year 2000 replacements will also contribute to the PC industry.

Wow, a few minor details and changes, but the new site and forums went pretty well...

Ohh, The old forum got completely wiped out (My bad ).

By the way, most of the site doesn't work. The articles and news are the only things that are peachy, as is the forum... I'll be working to convert the rest of the site over by the end of the day.

The new layout will be rolling in here, so expect problems with stuff for much of the week. I urge people no to post stuff in the forum while the update is underway, you'll get a news post when its all done. I have been thinking about converting the old messages over to the new forums, but it will be too hard. What I will do is leave the old board up for a week or so (there may be errors though) so you can archive any msgs you want.

The much-anticipated FREE game developed by the United States Army (yes, the actual army) is available for download today, though very hard to obtain as nearly every site with it available for download is low on bandwidth because of this. If you pre-ordered your free CD, it should arrive within 7 days, I've been told. Visit AmericasArmy.com for more info and to get linked to a download site. I was able to download it, but since I can't get the frequencies set properly on my pc, I've been unable to test it, but it looks cool

Happy Birthday USA!!! w00t!! (Okay, I'm 30 mins early!!)

Tomorrow, look for some changing stuff (The forums and the layout). It'll prob be rough for a week or so. I hope your ready!
