iXBT Labs heeft een overzicht online gezet waarin ze de belangrijkste gebeurtenissen en geruchten op het gebied van hardware deze maand samenvatten. Verder is er een tabel te bewonderen waarin alle DDR borden en hun features op een rijtje worden gezet. Ook interessant is om te lezen dat de Athlon Ultra (Mustang) volgens iXBT in november wordt gereleased op een kloksnelheid van 1,4GHz. Hieronder een paar kleine indrukken:
CPU:
So, if you have been dedicated to Intel processors and would like to continue being a true Intel fan then, you should get ready for a Pentium 4, which working frequency is expected to rise up to 1.7GHz in Q1 2001 and up to 2GHz in Q2 2001. As for other frequency increase, it is scheduled for Q3-Q4 2001, when a 0.13 micron Northwood core appears. The new core will feature 512KB integrated L2 cache, which is twice as large as that of Willamette (256KB).
[...] Besides Duron and Athlon CPUs supporting dual-processor configurations, AMD is planning to introduce a special server Athlon Ultra 1.4GHz in November. It will be base on the same Mustang core and will support from 512KB up to 4MB L2 cache depending on the customers demand. And these CPUs will work not only in dual- but also in multi-processor configurations.
Mainboards:
As far as the performance of the three already announced DDR Athlon chipsets is concerned, AMD 760 seems to be the fastest of all. Then come VIA KT266 and then ALi MAGiK 1, which will be another bit slower. However, the performance difference between the systems built on these chipsets will hardly exceed 5%, which is incomparable with a 20% performance gain provided by the use of DDR SDRAM.

Ik heb u reeds verschillende malen van mijn klachten op de hoogte gesteld zodat u de gelegenheid heeft gekregen mijn klachten te verhelpen. Tot op heden zijn mijn klachten niet naar mijn tevredenheid opgelost, daarom stel ik u in gebreke.



Ahead Software have announced their entry into the Apple Macintosh CD Recording application market. NeroMAX will be available from October, and will feature the same ultra stability and advanced CD Recording that has made Nero Burning ROM such a success in the Windows environment. NeroMAX can record most common CD formats including both HFS and ISO data, audio, video, hybrid, mixed mode, and CD Extra. Importantly the discDup, or copy, feature, allows for the backup of other CD’s.
The image quality as you can see is superb, I cannot fault it at all, and especially for the price you pay. So as well as a webcam that lets you broadcast across the world you also get a high quality Video\Picture capturing device. If you want to be able to record a video to your HDD and be able to mail it to a friend you can. If you want to take Digital still pictures of what ever may interest you, you can. In fact there is not much that you can't do with this product and the software that comes with it that many Professional Video editing suites do. I normally use a Sony Digital Handycam for use as a webcam and taking digital stills and I am not ashamed to say that this $99 camera beats my $1200 dollar beast hands down. The camera also performs well enough in low light. It does gather any ambient light that it does find very well. You could even rig this sucker up for security purposes as long as you had the relevant lighting source to aid it.
The Copper HedgeHog fits in for the overclockers with bucks that want the best and the "coolest". If you have to have the most expensive and tricked out heatsink on the market- grab the copper HedgeHog- it won't disappoint, it provides excellent cooling and a great "smack-talking" value.

The Pentium 4 (see our preview right here) is now targeted to launch in week 48 of this year. If our math is correct, that should put the launch around the end of November or beginning of December. This is a bit later than we previously expected, but we now know why the product will be delayed.
