Well as it would turn out the software companies are starting to get pissed off about these "markets" and want them shut down. Here is a clip: "Operation Buccaneer, a 15-month undercover investigation into an alleged community of pirates known as Warez."

Intel i845D Release
Published: Monday, December 10, 2001 | By: DennisA couple of days ago it would seem that few new P4 DDR motherboards where released and as always AKIBA had the scoop. Of the boards listed on the website one of them caught my eye, it was a sexy red one from MSI. I?m not sure what to make of the release since according to the translation via Netscape 6 AKIBA is calling the release a "premature start" for the i845D.

nForce Performance Uncovered
Published: Thursday, December 6, 2001 | By: DennisThe information contained in this GamePC article probably was not intended to be addressed until after the nForce release to market but all things considered I'm glad it is.

In "Superstability" mode the memory clock is reduced to 200MHz, but only if you fill the third memory slot with a double-sided DDR memory module. Get the full story at GamePC.
