Volgens ZDNet vogelt Intel een eigen PC133 chipset in elkaar. Het ding draagt de codenaam Solano en werd oorsponkelijk ontwikkeld als opvolger van de i810 en i810E chipsets. Verder zou Intel voor eind volgend jaar een chipset met DDR SDRAM support op de planning hebben staan (eerder werd dit nieuws als door EBN naar buiten gebracht):

Intel Corp. is developing a new chip set that supports SDRAM and a 133MHz system bus, offering a high-bandwidth alternative to its troubled RDRAM chip sets. The chip set, code-named So lano, will support the PC133 synchronous dynamic RAM specification and is expected to ship in desktop PCs in the first quarter.

In addition, sources said Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) is working on a double-data-rate PC266 SDRAM chip set, code-named Amador, for servers that it hopes to make available late next year or early in 2001.

Although Solano was originally designed as a successor to Intel's low-end 810 and 810E chip sets, its performance will enable it to be used in both low- and high-end desktop PCs, sources said.

Na 3 jaar komt er weer een MacOS versie van StarOffice, zo laat MacWeek ons weten:

The Mac version will join a growing list of platforms supported by StarOffice, which Sun is grooming as a challenger to the hegemony of Microsoft Corp.'s Office suite.

Lisa Carnochan, Webtop and application software group marketing manager at Palo Alto, Calif.-based Sun, said engineers are starting work on a Mac version of StarOffice. While the Mac software may be available in time for StarOffice 5.2 -- the next incremental rev of the software -- Carnochan declined to specify a delivery date. The last Mac version of StarOffice, 4.0, shipped in 1996, Sun said.

The number of engineers working on StarOffice was doubled and will double again, the company said.

Op Slashdot.org is er redelijke ophef ontstaan over een posting waarin LinuxQuake bericht dat Quake III Arena gegevens verzamelt over de gebruiker en terugstuurt naar id Software. Klinkt op zich spooky maar blijkt uiteindelijk allemaal nogal mee te vallen: de enige data die wordt verzameld is een stringetje met het type videokaart dat wordt gebruikt en de aanwezigheid van deze 'feature' heeft ooit in een readme gestaan, alleen werd deze info per ongeluk niet meegeleverd met de nieuwste releases van Q3Test. Reaktie #1 van John Carmack:

This has been discussed before, and has been going on with the previous tests. The message of the day server was intended as a half-assed auto update feature that could be cross platform. We send a normal message most of the time, but if the version is out of date, we can send a message with telling you where to get the update. I didn't want to deal with binary auto-updates on three platforms, and I worry a bit about security issues with that in any case.

You can disable it by setting "cl_motd 0" when the game starts up if you really don't want to send anything or see our message.

We added the result of glGetString( GL_RENDER ) to get some much needed information about the distribution of video cards and drivers.

We can see how many people aren't following directions and running glsetup. This is a big support issue. We can see how many people are running minidrivers, which are going to make our lives a mess in the future. We can see how many mac (steady 5%) and linux (5%at initial release, tailed off to 2%, probably due to dual booting) people are playing.

Getting this information has been usefull. We can compare the numbers of people playing with a given card with the amount of support emails we field, so we know which vendors (3DFX) we need to give more crap about their driver quality.

John Carmack [break] En post #2: [/break] When the article first showed up, I thought "It IS documented in the release!". I went and looked, and unfortunately, that documentation from the previous release didn't make it into the latest release. Sigh. Our fuckup.

Apropriate quote: "Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence".

I remain unconvinced that we have done something morally offensive.

Yes, we could have (should have, meant to) included a notice that it was going on in the EULA, but honestly, how many people carefully read and consider every line of all the EULA's they click through? How much of a difference would that have made to people?

I dislike lengthy legal verbiage, but it is reactions exactly like these that cause them to grow. Every time someone says "Sue 'em!" over something, a lawyer proposes another paragraph in a license document.

The most upstanding thing to do would be to have explicit UI that asks on installation if you don't mind sending your data when you play multiplayer games. I would consider that justified if we were sending a detailed system spec. That is something we may want to do in the future. Data like that is helpfull in making good development decisions. But this is just a driver string riding along with your game version. It just seems silly, like requiring you to acknowledge before leaving your house that someone might see you. I would rather have fixed a bug somewhere.

I can see that it is a slipperly slope to be on, and I can easily project it to a scenario that I would be offended by, but I just can't convince myself that knowing the reletive distribution of different OpenGL implementations is violating people's rights.

The system was set up to allow us to notify people with a one-line message when their versions are out of date. I imagine some people are offended even by that, but I consider that a positive service to the community.

Including the renderer string was an afterthought to get some good unbiased data to help make future decisions on. Every once in a while we tally up the numbers, then dump all the logs. That's it.

Power Gamerz heeft een review van de 27,3Gb dikke Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 6800 neer gemikt. Dit ATA66 schijfje heeft een rotatiesnelheid van 7200rpm en gaat vergezeld van een 2Meg grote cache. Wat betreft prestaties blijkt de Maxtor het net iets beter te doen als de 27,3Gb Western Digital:

In both tests on the Business Disk Mark, in Win98 and WinNT, the DiamondMax Drive was a little bit faster, but not anything incredible. In the high-end DiskMark test, they split, with WD taking the honors in Windows 98 and Maxtor with Windows NT.

The Register weet alvast te vertellen dat Intel op de 12de december een prijsverlaging door zal voeren. Wat er precies gaat gebeuren is nog niet bekend:

In a letter to large dealers, dated yesterday, Intel said: "On December 12, 1999, Intel will be reducing prices on boxed Pentium® III processors sold through authorised distributors. With this price move, Intel is delivering higher performance and better value in the performance desktop market segment.

"We will have more information available the week of the price move. Please contact your authorized Intel distributor after December 12, 1999 for specific pricing and availability details"

Ook zou de VC820 Vancouver, Intel's i820+RIMM bord, tegen die tijd beschikbaar moeten zijn.

Betanews (of FileForum, hoe-ever die site nu ook mag heten) weet ons te vertellen dat er een nieuwe beta versie van het handige CDRWin brandproggie is uitgekomen:

CDRWIN allows you to create almost any type of Data, Audio, Mixed-Mode, or Multi-session CD, giving you complete control over the disc layout and track spacing. Disc-at-once is perfect for creating masters that are ready for commercial replication, as well as many other more common uses for CD recordable technology. It also features track-at-once recording, ISO9660 disc mastering, as well as containing a powerful disc backup utility.

Ik kwam bij Virtual Zone deze erg prettige plaatjes van een waterkoeling systeem tegen. De heatsink kost circa 75 dollar en is in Japan bij J&T verkrijgbaar:

This company called J&T that sells retail water/peltier-cooled heatsink in Japan has released a new product that will bring the water delivered to the CPU to near freezing stage that bring overclocking to the extreme. This concept of cooling is a bit similiar to Kryotech and Vapourchill as it uses fridge-like radiator method to cool your CPU. Of course Kryotech and Asetek cooling methods do not make use of liquid to cool as they use vapour phase refridgeration to remove heat from the CPU. But the price would be much higher. The retail water/peltier cooled heatsink and this radiator sold separately and the heatsink is selling in Japan for 9800Yen which is around US$75. Quite well priced. It is able to use on Socket 7, S370, Slot 1 SECC, SECC2, Celeron and Athlon. While the price this radiator is not known as yet.

Hyundai heeft in een press release aangekondigd dat hun 200MHz Single Data Rate SDRAM chippies vanaf heden verkrijgbaar zijn. Dit spul is leuk om op videokaarten te prikken:

Hyundai MicroElectronics today announced availability of 2Mx32 200MHz SDRAMs.

These new parts are the highest speed Single Data Rate (SDR) SDRAMs available to date. The devices already have several design wins and are being delivered in production quantities. This announcement further boosts Hyundai MicroElectronics' leadership position as the vendor of choice for computer graphics OEMs and high performance point-to-point applications.

``Hyundai's 200MHz SDRAM device offers a big advantage by using the same protocols and interface as the current SDRAM,'' said Mark Ellsberry, vice president of marketing at Hyundai Electronics America. ``In addition, this part runs at a very fast 200MHz which enables our customers to get yet another performance boost out of their current SDRAM designs.''

This announcement adds yet another high-bandwidth, high-performance product to Hyundai's graphics product portfolio, thereby giving Hyundai the most complete line of high-performance graphics products on the market. In addition to the 2Mx32, 200MHz SDRAM, Hyundai offers the highest speed 4Mx16 Double Data Rate (DDR) parts, which operate at 333MHz data rate. Furthermore, Hyundai is shipping 200MHz 1Mx16 and 166MHz 4Mx16 SDR parts. ``When it comes to graphics DRAM, or any DRAM, it's one-stop shopping at Hyundai,'' noted Mario Martinez, senior marketing manager at Hyundai Electronics America.

``We are very pleased with Hyundai's graphic product offering. Their high performance memory products allow us to create graphics cards that operate at a whole new level,'' said Robert Lafleur Director of Hardware Engineering at Matrox.

Key Features

The 200MHz SDRAM device is fabricated on a 0.22-micron process optimized for 3.3V operation. All the inputs and outputs are compatible with the LVTTL interface which is the standard interface for SDRAM. The design uses a standard 4-bank architecture that makes it compatible with other SDRAMs, and the internal DRAM core operates at 200MHz which allows the pipeline to operate freely without the restriction of a `2n' rule.

Price and Availability

The 2Mx32, 200MHz (HY57V653220BTC-5) SDRAM is available now in production quantities. Price (in production quantities) is about $18. The HY57V653220BTC-5 comes in an industry and JEDEC-standard 400mil 86-pin TSOP package.

24hr Gamer heeft een interview gepost met Billy Wilson, de man achter Voodoo Extreme (naar mijn bescheiden mening de coolste en beste games nieuws site van het net... ik loop zelf in zo'n VE t-shirtje rond ). Hier alvast een vraag uit dat interview:

Tex: How did you get VE off the ground?

Wicked: Getting off the ground? Ohhh, hard one. A LOT of people decide that they are going to do a web site because it just seems easy (so some people think)...it is a TON of work, and hard work (but I love it). You have to have dedication, and do it because you like it. I honestly believe that if you don't really give a rat's ass about the stuff that you are posting about, "readers" can actually tell. Being consistent is also a VERY, VERY important thing, in getting a site to be known...if you update a lot one day, but then skip a day or two, people just seem to loose faith. I don't visit sites that just update whenever they feel like it. Finally, it takes time...lots of time. You have to realize that if you want to be known, you are going to be doing web stuff for a few years....just to get known. Very, very few seem to have the desire/capacity to actually stick around. I get, hell, like 5 - 10 "dude, I just opened this kick ass new gaming news site, can you post mention of it?" a week. I don't post mention of new sites (although I used to, a year or so ago), as most of these sites start out strong, but after 2 weeks - 1 month, they basically die off, once the person realizes that it is actually work. Plus, I tell them that VE is a Gaming News Site, not a New Gaming News site

News.com heeft een artikel gepost over de release van de Athlon 750. Support van grote OEMs voor de Athlon neemt toe en het wordt steeds waarschijnlijker dat AMD dit kwartaal break-even of zelfs met winst zal draaien:

Consumer interest in Athlon--combined with difficulties some PC makers say they are having in getting large volumes of the fastest Intel "Coppermine" Pentium III processors--is pushing some major computer makers to take a second look at Athlon.

Earlier this month, Dan Niles, an analyst at BancBoston Robertson, Stephens, said that both Gateway and HP would likely release Athlon systems. Since then, other analysts have said that a Gateway system was in the cards.

[...] As a result of the uptick in sales, the company has said there is a strong chance that it will break even or even make a profit for the fourth quarter.

Ik kwam bij JC deze handige Rambus vs SDRAM prijsvergelijking tegen. $999 voor een reepje van 128Mb, ff slikken:

Paul Cienciera informs me of some Samsung Direct Rambus DRAM prices (for 64MB and 128MB) at Mushkin. For comparative purposes, I'm listing similar size PC100 and PC133 memory prices, calculated by averaging the first page of pricewatch for each item:

PC100SDRAM PC133 SDRAM PC800 DRDRAM 64MB $70.20 $88.00 $489.00 128MB $148.00 $168.80 $999.00 256MB $375.20 $446.07 N/A 512MB $1084.73 N/A N/A

[break] Het is te verwachten dat deze extreem hoge Rambus prijzen snel zullen dalen: [/break] DRDRAM seems expensive now, but these prices likely reflect "newness" and should sharply drop (remember, for instance, three mere months ago the K7-650 was a thousand bucks and now it is half that price). Of course, right now (if these prices reflect current reality), DRDRAM is 5.5 to 6.0 times the price of PC133 memory, and 6.5 to 7.0 times the price of PC100 memory. This delta should compress by a lot, but I get the aching suspicion that there's still going to be a rather large differential between PC133 SDRAM and PC800 DRDRAM. If PC800 were unquestionably and substantially faster than PC100/133 in all (or most) performance categories, I could understand this gulf. But the comparisons I've seen generally seem to show i820/PC800 being decently faster than BX/PC100 in a couple benchmarks, and within a few percent in the rest (occasionally being slower, as in some SysMark tests and generally D3D gaming benchmarks). In my opinion, this isn't enough to warrant such a deep gulf -- hopefully, market competition will bring the memory prices to more reasonable levels.

Fahrenheit, de gezamenlijk door Microsoft en Silicon Graphics ontwikkelde über 3D API waarvan het de bedoeling was dat het OpenGL en Direct3D zou versmelten, is ter trashcan besteld:

Fahrenheit, the joint Microsoft-SGI project "to define the future of graphics" has crashed in ruins, with Microsoft to all intents and purposes pulling its support for OpenGL and throwing its weight behind Direct3D. The Register has obtained correspondence from the Win2k beta tests which makes this abundantly clear, and last week SGI itself drew a final line under its involvement with Fahrenheit. [break]...en Tux heeft het gedaan :[/break] [...] the Microsoft alliance has clearly not been to the company's advantage, and in announcing its ending of support for IRIX Fahrenheit and a 'reduction' (you can't get much more reduced than saying don't hassle us, call Microsoft instead) in its overall involvement in the project, SGI indicated that the rift between the two companies may have been Linux-related.

Said SGI: "The future key OS platforms for SGI will be IRIX and Linux and to a lesser extent, [our italics] Windows... While it makes sense to have Fahrenheit on all of SGI's strategic operating systems, it makes little sense to have Fahrenheit on only IRIX and Windows. After much deliberation, it was jointly decided that Fahrenheit could best continue as a Windows OS-only product; thus Microsoft will continue the Fahrenheit development process."

The other obvious alternative would of course have been for Microsoft to co-operate in a Fahrenheit implementation for Linux, so the end result is hardly surprising.

Echt nieuws is het niet meer, want dit hadden we al lang aan zien komen, maar AMD heeft vandaag dus de Athlon 750 en K6-2 533 gereleased. Volgens The Register worden er in de UK al 750MHz systemen verkocht:

Both Evesham Micro and Mesh plc have made machines available, the companies confirmed.

[...] Ireland [Evesham] said: "Athlon machines are selling very well. Virtually all sales of high end machines at the moment are using the AMD Athlon chip. That cannot be said of Intel-based machines." He said there was a problem with availability for Intel parts. [break] In een ander artikel schrijft The Register dat AMD mogelijk op 10 januari een 1GHz Athlon aan zal kondigen (lijkt me onwaarschijnlijk): [/break] Sources tell us that AMD may well still announce availability of a 1GHz Athlon on the 10 January next year. Last Friday, we revealed that Intel will intro a 750MHz Pentium on that day. The sources said that AMD will make the decision based on sales of members of its existing Athlon family, and on Intel's reaction to both the launches and on its own introductions. There is no technical reason why the 1GHz Athlon should not be introduced in early January. [break] De Athlon 750 is met een prijs van $795/1000 lager geprijst dan de Coppermine 733 ($826/1000), waarvan de leverbaarheid overigens nog steeds problematisch is: [/break] Although the MHz race is a comparatively trivial matter, with both AMD and Intel playing the Tweedledee-Tweedledum game, pricing and availability of the processors is far more important.

The day after Intel announced its Coppermine family, on the 25th of October, The Register saw internal documents from the chip giant which showed the extent of its problems supplying the parts. Although this position has improved in recent weeks, there are still serious problems with its high end Coppermine processor, the 733MHz Pentium III.

Bij CD-R info hebben ze een grondige review gepost van de Yamaha 8424S CDR-W brander. Dit SCSI beestje brandt op 8 speed, herfikt op 4-voudige snelheid en leest cd's op 24 speed.

Is Yamaha 8424s any good ?
Yamaha 8424s seems to be the best Yamaha CDR-W ever tested.. When Yamaha going to support CD-Text ?
The next generation after 8424x will support CD-TEXT. This new generation will be launch on Spring-Summer 2000. Is there any possibility with firmware upgrade to include CD-Text on current Yamaha Models ?
No, because for supporting CD-TEXT you need a Red Book LSI (Chipset) and firmware modification. Sony created CD-TEXT and they sales LSI chipset to other manufacturer. Yamaha built is own red Book LSI chipset. The next generation will have a new red Book LSI chipset with CD-TEXT and faster DAE (above 24X!!) Why don't Yamaha CDR-W drives support read/write RAW ?
When you use MMC-3 (ANSI Multimedia Command Set SCSI-3) standard is quite difficult to implement RAW read/write..That's why all newer CDR-W doesn't support it.. Why i should (or not) care about RAW read/write ?
Read/write RAW is very useful to users..With the arrival of CloneCD users, which their CDR-W supports RAW read/write, can do of their protected CDs.. Is Yamaha plans any 12x CDR-W drive soon..
Yamaha Japan is developing for Q3 2000 a Ultra speed CD-R/RW drive. The pick up will be specially designed for High speed...

Bij 3D Spotlight hebben ze een review online gezet van de bekende Creative Labs 3D Blaster Annihilator geForce 256 videokaart. Hieronder een stukkie:

For a price of $250 this board is expensive to most people, but if you’re a speed freak like me, price is not a factor.

I really like my Creative Labs Annihilator video board. I previously owned a Creative Labs TNT2 Ultra and I can say that the Annihilator is a little bit better than the TNT2 Ultra. If your able to overclock your TNT2 Ultra to very high levels, then you may want to wait for GeForce boards that support DDR memory.

The TNT2 Ultra video board that I had, had a lot of problems when I set my front side bus to something greater than 124 (82.66MHz AGP). The Annihilator has no problems so far with the 140MHz front side bus setting (93.33MHz AGP) meaning that nVidia looked into some way to increase stability with the AGP slot for BX chipsets.

Athlon users, on the other hand, have a lot of problems when using the Creative Labs Annihilator with their AMD 750 based motherboards. There is a fix available now that sets the AGP speed to 1X, but I don’t know if there will ever be a fix that will reenable AGP 2X functions and keep stability.

Athlon users may want to look at the Asus GeForce board. I hear that a lot of people are not having any problems when using the AMD 750 chipset and the Asus GeForce board. The Creative Labs Annihilator is a very good board and I do not regret getting this board even though I had a more than capable TNT2 Ultra.

hjs en Paashaas schrijven: "Hoe blaas ik het laatste restje adem uit een verouderd geheel.":

Unlike the recently eclipsed SE Xentor, Falcon's Voodoo3 3500SE is still the fastest card from its respective manufacturer. This factor alone makes it a tempting buy, especially if you're a fan of the Voodoo3 and want the highest 3dfx performance you can possibly get. The unfortunate "sold out" status of the Falcon SE Xentor has not been repeated with the Falcon Voodoo3 3500SE, and you can buy them direct from Falcon Northwest. Though the high price may frighten off some buyers, I believe one of the best paths is to purchase the Falcon Voodoo3 3500SE as part of a custom system. When he Falcon Voodoo3 3500SE price tag is factored into the cost of an entire Falcon PC, it becomes quite a bit more palatable. Either way you look at it, the Falcon Voodoo3 3500SE is undeniably the jewel in the 3dfx crown, and we should be grateful that companies like Falcon continue to push the performance envelope well past the limits of their retail counterparts.

Dit lijkt me inderdaad weggegooid geld sinds je met een beetje cooler hetzelfde resultaat uit je V3-3500 haalt...

hjs schrijft: "Volgens mij heeft dit kaartje veel fans bij GOT dus wie weet leren jullie nog wat ":

The Matrox G400 was by far one of the better in the old series video cards. However, with next-gen boards hitting store shelves everywhere, it's time to dust off your old card and see what's still rumbling under the hood before you go and upgrade. While the G400 is not the most overclockable or tweakable board I've seen, squeezing out a few frames per second is easy, fun, and virtually painless...

Cool, check deze Matrox G400 Tweaking Guide hier.

boer Krelis schrijft: "Ja lekker dan. Ik trek alvast m'n microfoon los. En het leuke is: Iedereen mag meedoen!(maardamagvastnie!)":

Computer users are being warned by industry experts to beware of secret codes which could be used to record their conversations.

Emails, screensavers, and electronic greeting cards can carry a secret code which is able to switch on the computer's microphone, make a recording, and forward it to someone else without the user's knowledge.

In fact any attachments sent to a computer, be it a game of Space Invaders, or a moving image, can potentially be used to spy.

Experts say people should always think twice about opening attachments because - although rare - bugging by computer can, and has been done.

Malicious code

Bill Lyons, head of the internet security company Finjan, said: "Military people in the United States have tested this and you can be sure, if people in general are aware of it, then computer hackers are aware of it.

"The frightening thing is, there are tools on the internet which people, using a simple search engine, can find which will enable them to bind this malicious code to simple attachments."

Experts have also confirmed that what can be done with a computer's microphone could also be done with a webcam - allowing pictures to be taken of people near a computer terminal.

Carl Saran, from Computer Weekly magazine, said: "I don't think this is scaremongering - it is potentially possible.

"I'm sure there are clever people who are thinking about how they can use this feature to look at what people are doing on their computers."

Het komt er dus op neer dat het mogelijk is dat er in e-mail attachments codes zitten die je microfoon aan kunnen schakelen, vervolgens opnemen wat je zegt en dat dan weer doorstuurt naar een willekeurig ander e-mail adres. Wat leuk

Volgens de statistieken van Gamespy is Unreal Tournament voorbij Quake3 gegaan in de populariteit van de online multiplayer servers:

De Athlon 750 is vandaag geïntroduceerd en meteen heeft Anand zijn review klaar staan. De Athlon 750 blijkt op vrijwel alle vlakken sneller te zijn dan de Coppermine 733, hoewel het verschil vrij klein is. Om hogere kloksnelheden mogelijk te maken heeft AMD de L2 cache divider verlaagd naar 2/5, waardoor de performance van de proc matig scaled t.o.v. de Athlon 700:

Looking towards the future, AMD can't keep the L2 cache off of the Athlon's core for much longer. Their roadmap calls for a move to an on-die L2 cache in the first half of 2000, but, currently, we do not know at what clock speed. While at Comdex, we were given a look at an air-cooled 800 and a 900MHz Athlon, so the potential to hit higher clock speeds using the 0.18-micron K75 core is there. Both of those CPUs will be released during the first half of 2000; hopefully, at least one will come with an on-die L2 cache which would help to rid AMD of their dependency on L2 cache manufacturers.

The Athlon motherboard issue does not seem to be improving and it will not improve in the remaining month of 1999, but, in 2000, things will change. From what we've seen, there is quite a bit of support building up for the Athlon in the motherboard industry, and the spark that we're waiting for is the release of VIA's KX133 chipset to ignite the fury of Athlon motherboards. The chipset itself is completed, and, right now, VIA is working with motherboard manufacturers to make sure that their implementations of the chipset are solid and are worthy of release. When the KX133 hits, it will be very good for Athlon supporters.

0,25 vs 0,18micron:

Whizzy schrijft: "op AMDZone staat een vermelding van de nieuwste non-beta bios voor het MSI 6167 board, versie 1.4.

Geen flauw idee wat het doet, maar ik weet wel dat ik niet meer van SCSI kan booten... "

Hm, nou als iemand meer info heeft hoor ik dat graag. Je kunt de BIOS hier in ieder geval neerhalen.

RemCOW schrijft: "Nadat ik weer eens aan het kijken was hoe het er voor staat met onze opperkoe, kwam ik deze .plan update van Vetere tegen. Hierin staat dat Dan Oetting een AltiVec RC5 core heeft ontwikkeld. Tester Joseph McLean wist ons te vertellen dat zijn G4/400 4.5 Mkeys/s haalt! Mijn c366@550 haalt 1,54 Mkeys/s! *WOW* Impressive!":

Well now, it's working FINE and dandy on my G4/400. 4.5 Mkeys a second! I scored 1.3 before! I'm sitting here watching a 2^32 block get cracked right before my eyes..."

Damn, dat is _errug_ cool (zal wel weer niet mogelijk zijn met 3DNow! of SSE?).
