Van Smith said the following a little while back: . . . more nefarious are Big Money hardware sites poised to be launched soon. These outfits will try to carry the banner of the Internet hardware community, but — and
SUMMARY: Visiting Taiwan and Computex is like the kid who got locked in the candy store – this is the motherlode. I decided to go to Computex this year because I felt it was important to get up close and
Got the hots for the KG7 because it has four DDR memory slots (as opposed to everybody’s else’s two)? I hope you didn’t buy three or four sticks of memory for it yet; there’s a reason why all the other

There’s been some occasional flareups about Intel using clock-throttling on Willamette processors. Well, we mentioned this briefly a little while back, but AMD CPUs have a form of clock-throttling in place, too, actually pretty similiar to Intel’s. They even use

On the whole, I was quite pleased by the responses I got, and learned from them. The most usual response I got basically said, “I run at least two applications that hog CPU cycles at one time. Things run smoother
