Published: Tuesday, January 22, 2002 | By: DennisThis board from Epox looks to be wider than the rest and the review would seem more like a round-up considering how many boards the Tweakers compared it against.

IWill XP333-R Motherboard Review @ PC Stats
Published: Tuesday, January 22, 2002 | By: DennisHonestly I didn't read though this review fully however I did find this quote on the front page that explains alot. " However, the absolute biggest issue with this board is the fact that Iwill calls this a DDR333 capable board. And while yes that is technically correct, and you should be able to hit 166 MHz FSB, there isn't a option in the BIOS to run your memory +33 MHz when you're running your system at stock 133 MHz FSB speeds. So in that way it is not a 'true' 333-based board like any of the newer SiS645 (P4) or the SiS745 (AMD) systems, or even for that matter VIA's up and coming KT333 chipset."

VIA DDR333 Summit 2002
Published: Tuesday, January 22, 2002 | By: DennisIt would seem that Via thinks the future is in DDR333 and figures that everyone should know this as well. Think Intel will be at the summit? Ya, your probably right

AMD Bug in Linux
Published: Monday, January 21, 2002 | By: DennisIt would seem that an old bug in the Athlon processor is still causing problems with Linux 2.4 kernel. The Linux/AMD bug is in relation to a compatibility issue with Intel's 4MB page size. (x86 processors have used 4k pages, ever since paging was introduced in the 80386).

[H]ard|OCP Got a Refresh
Published: Monday, January 21, 2002 | By: DennisLooks like Kyle at [H]ard|OCP has finally gotten his new site design online, complete with dynamic database driven content and HTML code that only IE could love (I wouldn't suggest going there with Netscape 6 you will be in for a surprise). Overall the new design and layout is pretty sweet, a much needed update for an old player.

Links Page Updated
Published: Sunday, January 20, 2002 | By: DennisAfter many moons of neglect I have updated the links page. The first order of business was to remove all of the dead ones, this was a given since they didn't go anywhere. Next was to remove the links related to counter strike since it sux now. Lastly, to wrap things up I added bunch more.
I've probably missed quite a few so if you are feeling left out let me know -
Slow Times for DDR333
Published: Sunday, January 20, 2002 | By: DennisOr so says this article. Part of the problem is package of the memory chips. Currently most DDR333 ('cept for Kingston) is TSOP and with 333MHz being close to its timing parameter maximum the production yield is low and memory makers are slow, if not reluctant, to retool the factory to a new format that is not considered a standard. Bottom line, they are cheap.
