Earlier news here ======================================= 01/16/03 - Asus A7N8X show! Our eagle-eyed friend PSY has organized an Asus A7N8X show with the hottest links in town. First here, a terrific Thoroughbred overclock at AMD3D, where, with good tips that are available in our OC section here, some anonymous writer pushed a innocent XP 2200+ to limits that were beyond decency... Two here, a terrible fight at GamePC where our heroine is facing an hysterical rival named MSI K7N2 for the most ignominious duel ever. Third and final, at DriverHeaven, young but already skilled site, the board finishes in a wonderful review, full of intimate closeups revealing to the sceptical crowd, the most intimate angles of her cold beauty... Thanks! ======================================= 01/16/03 - AMD post Q4 results AMD increases sales by 35 percent and narrows operating loss from ongoing operations by approximately $100 Million and sees record unit consumption of AMD PC processors.

Today the future looks brighter for AMD because the offspring, not only surf on the two data widths, but does it even better than competition in each style... Icrontic tells us more about all this and it's here ======================================= 01/16/03 - Gigabyte GA-7VAXP Ultra KT400 review The Ultra version of the GA-7VAXP is the richest board of the Gigabyte KT400's serie.

EXHardware is luckily reviewing it and seems very happy of the overall performances as you may read here. ======================================= 01/16/03 - Chaintech 7NJS nForce2 mainboard review Short, but enthusiastic, review from Sudhian which has lain its hands on the Chaintech beauty and tested it against a beast called AT7 Max2 from Abit. The result is a bunch of benchmarks and big flowers like "If Chaintech continues to turn out boards of this quality and speed, they'll have no problems carving themselves a place at the top of the high-speed market". Read more here and see what other sites have to say about the board here ======================================= 01/16/03 - Opteron benchmarks spanks competitors A benchmark published at Heise shows an Opteron, running at 1.6GHz, badly spanking competitors with the SAP SD benchmark.

Read the story here ======================================= 01/16/03 - Abit NF7-S nForce2 motherboard review The Abit NF7-S motherboard comes with just about everything you need as standard including the Abit Serillel converter for Serial-ATA.
