Ninjalane starts hardware reviews
Published: Wednesday, November 22, 2000 | By: DennisThe nice guys at the Freeway Designs home office in Taipei. Where nice enough to send me a sample of one of their latest products the FWD-P3C4XD for review.
This board features dual socket 370 processors, AGP Pro, onboard sound, and a sexy red PCB. That is to not mention a variety of core voltages and FSB to 166 MHz.
I see quite a potential with this board. -

Anandtech
Toms Hardware (with a crappy logo on the front page.

Tyan Tiger 230
Published: Wednesday, November 15, 2000 | By: DennisIt would seem that Tyan has been busy. In checking out their site today I found this link. Another dual processor board from Tyan and this one looks alot like the rest. A couple of key points.
Onboard Audio
ATA 100 support
The design seems to follow what I call the "reference" design. So far all of the dual socket 370 boards have the same layout, brings back memories of the GeForce 256 of days gone by. -
Quake 3 on ABC News
Published: Wednesday, November 15, 2000 | By: DennisNever thought I would see it but ABC news as conservative as they are have posted a article about the new Quake 3 for the Dreamcast. Personally I'm not much for console gaming but heck with a title like Quake 3 and the ability to frag on the net from a 52 inch big screen. I might just go and buy it.

Pricecombat
Published: Tuesday, November 14, 2000 | By: DennisI suspect that many of you have already seen this site but I'm going to share it anyway. In my email today (most of which is usually junk) I found this. PriceCombat. It seems that Pricewatch now has some competition. Curious I checked out the prices for a 128 megs of RDRAM and the lowest price was 109 bucks!!. Makes me think.. I might be able to afford that i840 dually board.
