overclockers.com.au: X-Micro GF4 Ti4600
Quote, "One thing that's not included is a DVI-SVGA adapter. I can't understand why any Ti4600 vendor would leave this out. If one were included, you could plug two monitors into the card and enjoy the dual-monitor features I explored on the last page of the Asus review. Support for it is already in the chipset and the drivers."

hardware-testdk.com: World Exclusive - First UK Review of the Prometeia CPU Cooling System
Quote, "Prometeia is a newly developed and very strong alternative to the well-known (also Danish) ”Vapochill” system. The system is a so-called ”barebone”, meaning the end user has to install a motherboard, graphics card, and so on him/herself - using standard hardware components. Afterwards an ”evaporation”-type cooling device is mounted on the CPU, cooling it down to around -40°C, and thereby enabling for instance an Intel P4 2.2 GHz Northwood to run at 3144 MHz, while still having a very silent system."
amdzone.com: HyperTransport News
Quote, "I’ve just completed a conference call with the HyperTransport consortium. They recently announced new network extensions as well as some details on HyperTransport 2. They also say more chipset makers will announce HyperTransport support for AMD CPUs. I have full details about these developments on my front page."
tecchannel.de: Bug or feature? 850E only with PC1066 at FSB533
Quote, "That is the question. While Intels 850E with PC1066 rambus memory seems very fast, this is only true if you use the latest Pentium 4s with it that run at FSB clock speeds of 533 MHz (quad pumped). When you put a FSB400 CPU into these boards, the memory only runs at 400 MHz. Intels data sheets does not explain that, but they confirmed our tests with the scope."

ocworkbench.com: Handspring Treo 180 Review
Quote, "With Treo 180, I no longer need the usual infra-red + built in modem handphone as they are already incorporated into the "handset" Treo180. Treo 180 basically integrates the familiar organiser powered by Palm OS and a Dual band GSM 900/1800 (sold in Asia Pacific) or GSM 900/1900 (Sold in America) mobile phone built in. With this device, everything can be done with the stylus by clicking on the options on the screen. The device also comes with a built in Blazer™ browser which you could connect to the World Wide Web wirelessly. For those who loves to SMS, the Handspring has they all ready for you."
