http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/09/30/business/ptflash01.php
It looks like certain older capacity landmarks for hard disks are

I've had it permanently installed on my desktop since version 5.10,
too. Meanwhile it's been permanently installed on my laptop since 8.10

Vista disables Cool'N'Quiet on some motherboards by
YKhan
AMD's Cool'n'Quiet support is supposed to be natively built into Vista
(no need for drivers). However, they are finding that C'n'Q setups
that were working fine under XP, no longer work under Vista. People
have been waiting for BIOS updates for their motherboards, and some
have found that the BIOS...

P4 Prescott adding pipeline stages? by
Yousuf Khan
Rumours are that Intel is adding additional pipeline stages to the Prescott,
even higher than its existing 20 stages. I can't see it happening in this
late stage of the game, perhaps half a year from now. It will possibly be
getting rid of the internal double clocked ALUs too, and replacing it...

Very detailed and technical play-by-play of somebody discovering a

Ok, first of all, let's get the obvious stuff out of the way. I'm an idiot. So please indulge me for a moment. Consider it an act of "community service"....

This news has made AMD'ers happy by

Seems that for one week this past month, there were more AMD-based desktops
sold than Intel-based.

47% were Intel. Minor, temporary victory? Absolutely. Just a victory...

Itanium finally passes Alpha at HP by
Yousuf Khan
Itanium sales have finally surpassed Alpha sales at HP. Looks like it's
mostly in the OpenVMS market though. Most OpenVMS customers are entrenching
around Itanium now. The Alpha-Tru64 market still seems to be volatile.

One of the ports of my NEC-based USB 2.0 card quit working because the
National Semiconductor LM3526 power controller chip failed. I'm
