OCworkbench has a few, coming from SiS, that show, of course, a lead of the SiS746FX over Via KT400. It's here for your viewing pleasure... ======================================= 01/07/03 - XFX Mach4 KT400 mainboard review PINE company's spinoff, XFX is a newly created structure producing motherboards and graphic cards. Today, thanks to our good friend PSY, we have the first XFX KT400 motherboard's review at 3DVelocity (with a brand new look, wow!). Here is a snip of the conclusion: "From the outside of the box and the performance of their graphics cards, I had high expectations for a motherboard from XFX, however the weak bundle, limited BIOS options and problems with the layout of the board really let me down".

Fred Weber, AMD vice president and chief technology officer at the JEDEX Conference in Beijing told the press about next generation Hammer supporting DDR II and Opteron benchmarks showing a chip running at 2GHz. Silicon Strategies has the story here ======================================= 01/07/03 - Shuttle SN41G2 nForce2 barebone reviews No less than 7 reviews are waiting for you at our SN41G2 barebone special page here.

Enjoy it here ======================================= 01/07/03 - Tyan Trinity KT400 motherboard review Finally we found the first Tyan KT400 motherboard review but you have to speak perfect Danish to enjoy the poetic style and the metaphoric humor of the whole article ;) Anyway, photos and benchmarks are easy to understand and they're just waiting for you here ======================================= 01/07/03 - AMD x86-64 Windows .NET Server 2003 Microsoft just released a new batch of Debugging tools for Windows (version 6.1.17.0) among which we find a complete set of tools for the native AMD x86-64 Beta that can be downloaded right here ======================================= 01/07/03 - DDR II - sacrificing latency DDR (I) is approaching the end of its dominating role in the desktop space to be replaced by the second generation of double data rate memory starting at 400 MHz and using a conventional 64/72 bit parallel bus interface. Lower operating voltage, new features like on-die termination, off-chip driver calibration, Posted CAS and variable write latency sound intriguing but what is really lurking behind the new standard? Lost Circuits is telling us right here ======================================= 01/07/03 - Palomino and Thoroughbred copper cap Nice little copper cap to protect your Athlon Palomino or Thoroughbred core. It's coming from Japanese firm Shinwa Sangyo and OCAU is reviewing it. Here is a snip: "The CPU is much safer with this cover. Only really extreme pressure extended on the heatsink could damage the core. However, the cap is naturally slightly increasing the core temperature. That might be one reason why AMD has so far refrained from putting such a cap on their relatively hot running Athlon core".

Today the company says why and it sounds like honey in AMD's fans' hears: "Fed up with the cost of updating software and drivers with every Intel chip update, a regional utility is switching to Compaq PCs running chips from Advanced Micro Devices Inc. Northeast Utilities plans to buy 2,000 Compaq D315s by 2005, possibly saving Northeast $1 million".
