Cable modems suck!
Published: Tuesday, December 5, 2000 | By: DennisWell I was stuck at 56k last night when the cable network went down. I have to admit I feel dirty. But that didn't really upset me, what did was the girl I talked to on the support line proceeded to insist that my node was bad and a technician needed to come out to check it.
Well if that is the case why do I have access this morning? I hate them but its cheap so what the heck. -
Deus Ex on the Dreamcast
Published: Tuesday, December 5, 2000 | By: DennisIt looks as though Deus Ex might be ported to the Dreamcast in the near future. But that is not the only game. First Quake 3 Arena, Next Deus Ex and Unreal Tournament. Here is a snip.
In an interview by Joystick, a French PC gaming magazine, the lead programmer for Deus Ex said "Concerning the PC to consoles port of Deus Ex, I'm not in charge of the port but I oversee the project." So, it looks like Deus Ex will be coming to next generation consoles! Might it come to Dreamcast? Quite possibly, especially since fellow Unreal engine game Unreal Tournament is already well underway. We'll keep you up to date with the latest happenings on this possible story"

Speed up Maxtor Drives
Published: Sunday, December 3, 2000 | By: DennisIt would seem by this tech post at Maxtor that most of their IDE drives are released and configured to run very quiet. Bad thing is when they run quiet they also run slow. I'm in the process of converting my drives to the non-quiet setting; I'll let you know how it pans out.

Dual CPU with DDR support
Published: Thursday, November 30, 2000 | By: DennisIt was bound to happen I just didn't think so soon. Take a look at the board and look at how it is laid out. The power connector is below the processors, and the floppy drive connector is under the last PCI slot. Not really the most effected layout.
Considering that this board is a socket 370 I find it hard to believe. -

Freeway Review - another on the way
Published: Wednesday, November 29, 2000 | By: DennisIt seems that the Freeway Designs motherboard review has become quite an attraction here at Ninjalane. Glad to be a part of it.
I've been told by one of my close friends that he will be getting his hands on the new Epox EP-D3VA dullie motherboard sometime this week. So, that means you can expect a similar review of that motherboard sometime in the coming week and maybe a compairson between The Freeway Designs FWD-P3C4XD and the Epox later this next month. -
Site update
Published: Wednesday, November 29, 2000 | By: DennisI noticed a small bug in how my URL's where being processed, it seemed that when I posted a link within my site it was still spawning another browser window. This has been fixed and shouldn't happen in the future. Sorry to all that this "bug" annoyed.

Orbs a plenty
Published: Monday, November 27, 2000 | By: DennisI caught a glimpse of this over at the Freeway Designs website the other day. It would seem that they have designed a "orb" that is approvd to 1.3GHz. It looks alot like the Golden Orb in some regards except that this cooler is made of copper unlike the "Glorb".

Dual P3 800 Faster than the P4 or Athlon
Published: Sunday, November 26, 2000 | By: DennisOriginally I saw this at HardOCP and figured that under the circumstances I should post it here. As most of us know any computer with multiple processors will score higher than a computer with just one processor if given the proper environment to work in. (i.e. Win2k, Linux) Even then you still need to be running programs that support the SMP instruction set.
