Hardware edition:

  • ATITool – w/ artifact scanner, neat. I just bought an MSI 9800 Pro that booted up recognizing as an XT and went up to 412/365 w/ zero problems. I’ll have to give it a push if I’m feeling bored
  • Mike’s Hardware – this is a great site that has product roadmaps for all the latest PC hardware. If I upgrade soon, it looks like Q4 is good. A pair of Raptor HD’s, an NForce4 board, Athlon64 4000, and possibly NV48e. Too addictive.
  • Antec Sonata Case Review – this looks like a nice quiet case (not a big deal for me now as all my noisy computers are in a separate room)
  • Nvidia GeForce 6600 paper-launch – some pretty amazing performance out of a very reasonably priced card. Too bad it’ll be at least a month or two before you can get your hands on one (this helps my Doom 3 habit how?)
