Just got word from Visionary that Canopus have released a new Nvidia GeForce4 card. Here's what he's saying:

Canopus has unveiled their latest SPECTRA WX25 card based on NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4600. THis card comes with 128MB DDR SDRAM, 300/325DDR (650) Core/Mem, Advanced Power Supply 4.0 (Power Consumption directly from PSU without drawing power from motherboard to reduce power noise level to GPU) , SSH2 TypeDD , Exhaust Control Structure - FireBird G2 Twin Blow (Cooler specially designed to suck in air and propel upwards and rightwards for efficent cooling.

Just got word from Crow that Suma have released a New GeForce4 MX 440 Platinum Card! Here's some of the Spec's from Darkcrow.

S/U/M/A (www.suma.co.kr) in Korea, announced the GeForce4 MX 440 Platinum Power-Up(64MB) and is clocked@ 270/400 MHz = Core @ Memory using 4.0ns BGA type Memory.

The company GSM-International has the Radeon 8500 PRO available on April 16th 2002. Here is some information I got about this card: The spec. is: BGA DDR by using 128 bit Samsung 3.3ns memory (4 x 64M). With external RAMDAC which can support double D-sub output. However, the sample passed to editor for testing was just 290/300MHz. Speed is similar to Ti4400. This card could be a nice Geforce 4 killer. A review comes up in the next days on Warp2Search. For more information and how to get it head over to GSM-International by using the above link.
Dealers-inquire welcome.

Just saw this @ Rage3d Forums posted by CandyMan.

Well... I was just surfing around and came upon an article stating that Grandmars (which are a motherboard manufacturer in the Far East) came out with a Radeon 8500 Pro clocked at 290/600 using 3.3ns BGA memory.

T-Break has received the Creative Nomad Jukebox v3.0 and will be working hard to bring the review soon. In the meantime, they've setup a gallery with some of the things it's capable of:

ReactorCritical have posted two interesting hardware stories!

Club3D introduces GeForce4 Titanium 4600 board: The Club3D GeForce4 Ti4600 (CGN-2568 TVD) is built meeting NVidia's reference design and are clocked accordingly at 300/650 MHz for core and 128 MB of DDR SDRAM memory. The interesting fact about Club3D board is quite eccentric GPU cooling system as well as memory cooling radiators.

The first ever low-profile Radeon 8500: For ages low-profile videocards used to be quite slow and the assortment of such videoadapters mainly consisted of low-end solutions, e.g. GeForce2 MX or Matrox G450. However, Gigabyte Technology decided that the users of small and nice computers should also have the latest technology for their service and launched its GV-AP64DL, GV-AP64DL is based on the Radeon 8500 clocked at 230 MHz.

Just got word from DarkCrow.co.kr that SUMA are launching a new GeForce4 card and it's the SUMA GeForce4 Ti4600 SE 128MB! Here's some of the specs from Darkcrow.

It has 300/650 MHz core/memory clock, and Dual DVI output as you can see a photo. (Of course, for D-sub user it is included DVI to D-sub converter.)

SUMA GeForce4 Ti 4600 SE supports VIVO, so includes S-Video and Composite cables.

NvNews.com have posted the rumoured Nvidia NV30 specs ? after they said they would never post rumoured news again on their main pages! LOL they must have got their TI cards from Nvidia then.

We have recently received a word from our reliable source that AMD is going to launch one more processor based on the old 0.18micron Palomino core before the new 0.13micron Thoroughbred based CPUs come out. Today this info got confirmed.

One of our readers (special thanks to Shaun L) sent us a picture of Athlon XP 2200+ based on the Palomino core:

Just got word from AMD Rulez about AMD's new range of CPUs.

Here's what he's saying: Spotted some juicy information on the Thoroughbreds for AMD supporters!

We got a brand new spanking hardware review today for you. We tested Corsair's latest high speed DDR module and I bet you're curious about the results. Here is a snip: The supplied CMX256A-3000C2 memory module is a 256Mbyte, single bank DDR SDRAM DIMM. Tested by Corsair at 185Mhz FSB (2-3-3, 1T Command Rate) and 166Mhz FSB (2-2-2, 1T Command Rate) it promises exceptional performance. Branded XMS which stands for eXtreme Memory Speed we will see if it can hold that promise. Below you will find an overview of the modules specifications: Head over to the review

T-Break dug out the latest Roadmap from Gigabyte dated yesterday and it has a schedule of their upcoming motherboards including the KT400. Also found on the roadmap is the schedule for CPUs including the Thoroughbred roadmap with speed grades and projected time of release!

Just saw this @ NvMax.com

NVIDIA will use DDR memory on all its products because of the rapidly increasing price of the SDR type.

This move should increase performance whilst keeping the cost the same, hopefully providing a cheapo version of the MX440 that in our reviews has had a more negative response due to its high price.

3DItalia claims to have received some specifications and pictures from an anonymous canadian source that display the R300 GPU from ATI. The specs sound familiar and impressive at the same time. On the other hand today is April 1st... Read more...

Shuttle sent us the SS50 for a Pentium 4 and we did what any t-breaker in their right mind does- tear it apart. Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure!

AMD has issued the latest version of their Thermal, Mechanical, and Chassis Cooling Design Guide which is the official guideline for hardware vendors to build their products on. According to the January 2002 release of the technical white paper AMD recommends that the four mounting holes surrounding the Socket A are removed from the so called Motherboard Keepout Area.

Well Overclockers came before me here... ;-). According to various forums ViaHardware #1, ViaHardware #2 and AMDMB forums and by self experience from yesterday it seems highly likely that the KR7A-R has memory timing issues that result from the fourth DIMM slot on the board. Read more...

Visionary@vr-zone.com: We have seen Intel showing a 4Ghz Pentium 4 demo in their labs during IDF so how about having that now in our home? We have updated the P4 Northwood overclocking database with the latest result from Holicho where he had overclocked his P4 2.4Ghz to over 4Ghz!

Can you control the X-Box or does the X-Box control you? ;-) The company Ibva.com is currently developing a controller, which allows the player to steer the X-BOX with his thoughts.
They are developing a kind of frontbound, which measures the brain-flows and send them via radio transmission to a special controller which allows to control the X-BOX.
The controller was developed without the assistance of Microsoft so far, but IBVA wants to contact Bill Gates directly, in order to be able to bring the equipment on the market as fast as possible. You can find more information about this revolutionary piece of hardware @ Ibva.com.

A new firmware version has been released for the Linksys 4-Port router. This brings it up to 1.42.6 released on March 11, 2002. This release of firmware addresses issues that existed in the previous firmware. Read more...
