Datafuse.net have thrown up their Preview of the Aerogate I, and probably one of the first reviews around about the product! Here's a snip

Coolermaster is slightly shifting from its original thought: delivering cpu-coolers, now they already ship cases, mousepads, fanbusses and other accessories. It's not the first company that makes this transfer, it must be because the big money is in that sector. Anyways, let's continue the review shall we. This fanbus might be a tad more expensive then others, but if you want to differ yourself from fellow modders/enthusiasts, it's certainly the way to go.

TheCrucible.ca is proud to announce the posting of an article describing the price vs. performance aspects of the Radeon 9700Pro vs. the 9800Pro.

Well, considering the numbers we have seen here, it comes down to a simple question. Is it worth it to spend the extra dough and get a 9800 Pro? Yes and no

Many of you may have been following Blue Ice from a few of the forums I post in, but this is the real deal? More detail, more pictures, and more depth.

X86 Secrets have thrown up their comparison of the Opteron 140/146 against an Athlon XP 3200+ engineering sample and a Pentium 4 3.2GHz engineering sample! as the site in French here's a translation by Google.

In short, all this small world being more or less available and the tests of our French fellow-members being long in coming, we thus got Asus SK8N equipped with the nForce3 as two Opterons: model 140, given rhythm to 1.4 Ghz which is the first processor x86-64 in term of accessible price and one 146, given rhythm with 2 Ghz, and which enables us to extrapolate without too much problem the performances of Athlon 64.

Thanks to LSDsmurf for the Info: TwinMOS announced Twister, and no in this case Twister is not the family game, and also not that stormchasers movie from Warner Bros ;) Twister is a new line of DDR Ram modules meant for overclockers.

AMD's Athlon 64 - already the source of much speculation over the number of pins each packaged chip will features, 754, 939 and/or 940 - has become embroiled in rumours centring on the company's FX nomenclature.

ING.com reports that at a press briefing held in Japan today, Sony Computer Entertainment at last revealed detailed specs for its PSP (PlayStation) portable system. Although first unveiled at E3, Sony left showgoers in the dark about what form the system would actually take. Today's announcement covers most bases, from planned CPU speed and memory space all the way to networking ability.

If you find yourself salivating at these specs, you're not alone. Unfortunately, Sony shared nothing but words today. A prototype of the PSP will debut at E3 of next year (May of 2004) with 2004's Tokyo Game Show (September of that year) expected to bring with it the unveiling of the system's game lineup.
