VIA Announces P4PB 400 Mainboard
Published: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 | By: DennisThis is quite an amazing chipset supporting AGP 8x, DDR400 and DDR333, Firewire, LAN, ATA133 and both Pentium 4 FSB flavors. I'm going to guess its illegal too.
What do you suppose will happen if the JEDEC decides that DDR400 is stupid and pushes for DDRII instead?? -
Soyo Dragon Ultra Platinum Review @ VIAHardware
Published: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 | By: DennisI wrote to Soyo trying to get a review sample of this board shortly after it was announced but never got a reply. I guess Soyo didn't think I was special enough. Well the board is pretty cool sporting the silver PCB.

More Webmaster Whining
Published: Monday, July 8, 2002 | By: DennisI posted this once before but it would appear that Kyle dug deep and found out why Matrox opted not to send him a sample for review.
"Matrox stated that due to the nature of our testing that they were not "comfortable" with sending us a Parhelia card. They seemed to think that we would be a bit too rough on the Parhelia and possibly show some issues that the "enthusiast" might identify as weaknesses."
Sounds to me that Matrox knew exactly what they where doing. Apply the bandage to your knee and move on.
This is entirely too much fun -
CyberHawk Dual Athlon & Matching Case
Published: Monday, July 8, 2002 | By: DennisFor us english speaking folk a site like Akiba is all pictures
. Some of you might remember my recent project Shuriken where I went a little overboard on color matching. Well this CyberHawk system follows the same idea but goes even further. The system includes, a modded red case, red PCB, red expansion slots, red memory slots, dual red heatsinks and fans. etc..... -
Dual CPU
Published: Monday, July 8, 2002 | By: DennisI still say the 2 processors are better than one. Though you really need to think about how you use your computer before you up and spend the bux on a dually system. Word processing and web surfing do not require the extra horsepower.
" To summarize, SMP systems are a novelty that are only useful for those that use multithreaded applications on a regular basis, for example; Adobe Photoshop and Premiere as well as 3D-animation suites such as 3D Studio Max, Maya and LightWave. For those that think that SMP is a quick upgrade and yields better performance than a single CPU system we unfortunately have to tell you that this isn’t always the case and you might be better off upgrading your current system with a faster CPU or some other upgrades."
I would not fully agree with this statement, novelty??. -
