"So, maybe you’re wondering what ATI’s future R500 or NVIDIA’s NV50 chips may have in store but know that if you were to ask either company you’d get the brick wall response: "Sorry, we cannot comment on unannounced projects or products". Well, it’s a pretty good guess that whatever features Microsoft’s DirectX may make available, future 3D hardware is more or less going to follow it in terms of features, so why not start there?"

"WASTE is a perfect little program that will allow you to chat and share files on a totally encrypted network. The network is safe from prying eyes and the only security violations will result from user error. Other than that it is a great tool that will keep all of your data transfers and communications safe and secure."

"The last Athlon XP Processor I reviewed at Dukgamers was the XP3000 which marked the introduction of the Barton core, the XP3200 improves on this by boosting the FSB to 400MHz which is a 20% increase over the old speed of 333MHz. With the clock speed of the XP3200 only 33MHz faster than the XP3000, lets see if the model number increase of 200 is justified."

focusing on getting back the money taken away by ATI... That's the way business goes and AMDboard is quietly storing all information that makes our life with AMD-related products a bit easier.

The VIA K8N800 has built-in Unichrome2 graphic capability as well as Hyper8, an in-house technology that speed up communication between the processor and chipset,"
