Matrox Parhelia-512 Preview @ HardwareZone
Published: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 | By: DennisI used to be very loyal to Matrox in the days before AGP was a mainstream video solution. My love of Matrox turned with the release of the G200 with its sub-par gaming performance and lack of tweakable features. I have a feeling that this might all change can you say triple-head gaming??
I knew you could.
So far no word on framerates but it supports some hella high resolutions. -

Pentium 4 Celerons
Published: Monday, May 13, 2002 | By: DennisThis could be an overclockers dream. Though if anything the cheaper processor will mean higher sales for Intel. Here are some quick specs on the processor, 400MHz FSB 128k Level-2 Cache running at 1.7 and 1.8GHz. This will most likely be a Willamette core.
Also proof that ZDnet only reads their news.
"Although the two companies' chips are often close in terms of performance, Intel's run at faster speeds when measured in megahertz. The new 1.8GHz Celeron is faster than AMD's top Athlon chip, the Athlon XP 2100+, which runs at 1.73GHz." -

Old Computers Never Die
Published: Monday, May 13, 2002 | By: DennisRaise your hand if you have at least one dusty old computer stored away in your house or garage.
I think the numbers might surprise you.
On a side note I can still remember typing away on the old Tandy back in day and even doing 1200 baud file transfers with Breakdown just so we could play a game against each other. -
HP Trade Secret Theft
Published: Monday, May 13, 2002 | By: DennisHP is charging 3 businessmen with trade secret theft for disabling the password protection of an HP program. Their defense had this to say.
"since the men legally possessed the software they had the right to modify it."
I think they might be up a creek without a paddle. -
HP/COMPAQ Product Roadmap
Published: Monday, May 13, 2002 | By: DennisBasically the HP PC's will be phased out and/or moved under the Compaq name. The Jornada handheld will be phased out in favor of the "HP" iPaq handheld. The Unix OS battle is a no brainier.
"Compaq's Tru64 Unix operating system will be eliminated in favor of HP's HP-UX, which will incorporate some Tru64 features. HP-UX's larger installed base and broader ISV (independent software vendor) network led to the decision, HP said. "
Unfortunately 15,000 employees will still lose their jobs or will transfer to other divisions. -
