| 98592 | 2002-11-14 10:41:00 | Here it is, what you've all been waiting for is finally here, that's right folks, it's the news for Thurday. YahooPOPs! 0.4.0 This is a handy wee program that will allow you to check your hotmail through your normal pop3 mail client. It works by being it's own pop3 server which talks to Yahoo!. Here for some more about it. (www.majorgeeks.com) and yes it's free :) Lite-On comes with stand-alone DVD player - supports MPEG-4 Yes you read it right, that's a stand alone DVD player that will play MPEG-4 (DivX ;-)) movies. There is no way that you're gonna see my buying a DVD player untill they've got these or similar released in NZ. CD Freaks has the info (www.cdfreaks.com) DVD2SVCD This handy program will let you take a DVD and convert it into a lesser quality SVCD. I'm sure some of you can think of creative ideas as to why this could be useful :) See here (http://dvd2svcd.doom9.net/). AMD postpones 90nm products to 2004 It would appear as if AMD is going to post pone the release of their 90nm(0.09micron) chips. I'm sure there is many a person rather annoyed at the moment after putting up with their slow(ish) PCs so as to buy these chips. There is something here about it. (digitimes.com) Nforce2 boards finally for sale Yay these boards are finally here, and most retailers in NZ seem to have an Asus one available at the moment. I might just have to do an upgrade these holidays if I end up paying off the loan I got for this PC from my parents. The Inquirer has some about it (www.theinquirer.net). Apple is testing AMD chips claim Over at Mac Edition (www.macedition.com) there is some information about Apple doing some testing using AMD chips. [b]KT400 Shootout OCNZ (www.overclockers.co.nz) has posted up a review here (http:) of several different KT400 motherboards. The general consensus is why would one bother when they hardly out perform a good quality KT266a motherboard. Til next time :) PS. Study leave is here........ goes back to procrastinating :D |
