ChrisRay, one of our long-time members (and recent staff member), has an excellent thread on the 6800 Series Anti Aliasing Sample patterns in our forums. This is a work-in-progress and will continue to be updated over the coming days/weeks.

Spodes Abode have thrown up part 2 of their review, which looks at the Performance of Nvidia's NV40 and ATi's R420 GPU's! Here's a snip.

Following up on Part 1, we have now had a bit more time with the cards in question, so we can give a more accurate comment on their performance. Over the past few months drivers have been released, fixing bugs, increasing performance and image quality from both sides. Retail cards are not exactly plentiful, but when they are we will certainly follow up with a round up similar to the Christmas DX9 round up.

The Chinese site Gzeasy have scooped some Info about Intel's new line of low voltage Prescott chips! Click Here

There was a strange post by Dave over at Beyond3D last night that had a whole lot of fun speculating, but just now on page eleven either Baron spilled the beans or he's farking around with the Dig again:

SIS'S Core Logic chipsets don't garner as much attention as offerings from Intel, NVIDIA, and VIA, and that's really a shame. Enthusiasts tend to view SiS as a low-end player, and given the company's strong presence in budget motherboards, it's easy to see why. However, few enthusiasts are aware that SiS also makes high-end chipsets that perform well enough to run with the fastest core logic offerings from Intel, NVIDIA, and VIA.

Intel has identified a manufacturing excursion that affects a limited number of I/O controllers that are part of the 915/925 chipsets. This excursion -- caused by incomplete removal of thin film on the die pad area ? makes the controller susceptible to excessive leakage in the Real Time Clock (RTC) circuitry. If you were to get one of these controllers, the likely results would be a failure to boot, a system hang, or other anomalous system behavior. We are checking 915/925 chipsets that were shipped prior to, and as of, the day of launch (June 21, 2004). We have asked for affected shipments of this product to be returned to Intel for inspection or replacement.

Today we've checked out a whole range of different nVidia GeForce FX cards from the 5200 right up to the 5900XT. We take a closer look at the Prolink PixelView 5900XT and the Albatron 5700P Turbo as the focus of the comparison style article.

DigiTimes reports that Intel?s planned launch of its next-generation Xeon processor, codenamed Nocona, next week has stirred a wave of market reports that the chipset giant may soon come out with a 64-bit desktop chip, according to sources at Taiwanese PC makers. The Nocona chips will be available at clock speeds of 2.8, 3.0, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.6 GHz.

No sooner had the 925X and 915 been launched than the word started spreading that Intel had locked the overclocking on the new chipsets. Are the new chipsets OC-locked? Are there ways to get around the issue?

Thanks to some people who bombarded my email account with this info. Wish I could give credit where credit is deserved.. but oddly enough their email addresses are from an anonymous remailer.

Intel Corporation, world's largest chip maker, has announced two low-powered Pentium M processors. These processors use Intel's 90nm fabrication process on a Dothan core..... Read the full news here

Munich, Germany ? June 22, 2004 ? Computers that don?t loose their data, even when the power supply fails; laptops with batteries that supply power for days without the need for recharging; handheld computers and cell phones with huge amounts of memory; and personal computers that, at the touch of a button, pick up again at the exact spot where you left off the day before - In just a few years, this vision of the future of computing could become reality.

When I was working on my PCI Express review, I shot off a question to NVIDIA about whether the GeForce 6800GT PCI-E card I'd received was bridged or native PCI Express, and I didn't receive an answer. So naturally, I pulled off the heatsink to get a look for myself. Here's what I saw. On the left is an AGP NV40 chip, and on the right is the NV45 package, with GPU plus bridge chip.

Tom's Hardware Guide reports that Intel's new chipset 915/925 platforms do not offer much of a FSB overclocking margin, have been circulating for some time. As THG was able to confirm, Intel went one step further: The chip giant adjusted its hardware to prevent any overclocking.

Last weekend Intel introduced a brand new range of products to the world for its Pentium 4 platform. With it comes a bunch of changes including the new LGA775 socket, DDR-II memory and PCI Express support along with two new chipsets and two new processors. TweakTown's got the lot covered in this article which investigates the changes from Socket 478 and what type of performance can we expect from the new designs right now.

Every once in a blue moon there comes about a breathtakingly original and innovative product that makes you stop and appreciate how far we?ve come. This innovation can make our lives easier, entertain us in whole new ways, or can just be eye-catching and esthetically beautiful. What?s even more remarkable is when that product conquers all these sectors and, in doing so, creates a totally new market.

Gamespot reports that Alienware have moved to clear up consumer confusion; by releasing their Dual-GeForce 6800 benchmark results.

The document released to press lists 3DMark03 benchmark results comparing an Alienware 3.4GHz Intel Xeon test system running two GeForce 6800 video cards against the same system with only a single GeForce 6800 video card.

The NDAs were lifted yesterday for Intel's new Grantsdale (i915) and Alderwood(i925) chipsets! which come with a new CPU socket 775 called Socket T, a new bus Technology called PCI Express, a new Graphics Card slot called x16 PCIe, and a new memory technology called DDR2.
