MICROSOFT: CAN ANYONE ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT THE US GOVERNMENT HAS THE POWER TO SPLIT UP A COMPANY LIKE MICROSOFT, I STILL CANT GET OVER IT THAT THEY CAN ORDER YOUR COMPANY NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL TO ACTUALLY SPLIT UP. I PERSONALLY AM NOT FOND OF MICROSOFT MAINLY BECAUSE OF THEIR PRICES BUT I THINK IT A BIT MEAN TO SPLIT UP YOUR COMPANY, WHATS NEXT A SPLIT OF INTELS MONOPOLY, IMAGINE THAT, A SEPERATE COMPANY MAKING SELL-HER-ONS AND ANOTHER FOR P3'S, WHAT A JOKE!!!!

VIA: IT SEEMS AS THOUGH VIA WILL BE MAKING CHIPS FOR US TOO, THEY RECENTLY AQUIRED CYRIX AND ARE IN A DEFINIT POSITION TO BE COMPETING WITH THE HEAVY WEIGHTS AMD AND INTEL, AS THEY ALREADY HAVE A GOOD MARKET GOING IN THE CHIPSET ARENA FOR MOTHERBOARDS AND ARE CLOSE TO AMD AS WELL, THEY ALSO ARE LOOKING AT S3, EXCITING TIMES AHEAD INDEED.

1 GIGAHERTZ CPU: WOW THIS LATEST REVELATION COMES FROM AMD OF COURSE WHO SEEM TO BE SETTING THE TREND LATELY ON THE FASTEST CPU ON THE MARKET. IT CLOCKS IN AT 1000MHZ AND IS VERY FAST, BUT IN REPORTS ON THE WEB IT SEEMS AS THOUGH IT IS NOT MUCH QUICKER THAN THIER 850MHZ VERSION, IN FACT ONLY SLIGHTLY HIGHER IN THE 3DMARK SCORES. AMD WILL SOON MOVE TO THE NEW .15 MICRON PROCESS AND IT WILL THEN BE ABLE TO TAKE THIS PROCESSOR TO NEW HIEGHTS IN TIME FOR THE RELEASE OF INTELS WILLIAMETTE CPU'S TO BE SHOWING THIER FACES AT ABOUT 1.3GHZ. IT IS ALL GOOD FOR US CONSUMERS THOUGH AS IT WILL MEAN MORE LOW PRICES, WOO HOO.

INTEL: NOT ONLY ARE INTEL TRYING TO WIN IN THE MEGAHERTZ RACE BUT THEY ARE ALSO TRYING TO KNOCK THE COMPETITION OUT OF THE RING, IN THEIR LATEST STRUGGLE FOR SUPPREMECY THE CPU GIANT IS TRYING TO GET VIA TO STOP IMPORTING THEIR BOARDS FOR THE AMD K7 IN THE USA. ALL IT SHOWS IS THAT INTEL ARE VERY WORRIED ABOUT THE K7.

CPUS ON GRAPHICS CARDS: YOU HEARD RIGHT, THE NEXT GEN CARDS ARE GOING TO HAVE THEIR OWN CPUS ON BOARD TO BREAK THE BARRIER BETWEEN SLOW CPU AND FAST VIDEO CARD. VIDEO CARDS TODAY RELY ON THE CPU TO DRAW TRIANGLES BUT THE NEW BATCH OF VIDEO CARDS WILL TAKE OVER THIS CHORE AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL SEE BETTER FRAME RATES IN GAMES, WOO HOO.

VOODOO 4 AND 5: THE LATEST OFFERING FROM 3DFX INTERACTIVE LOOKS SET TO BE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WITH 32BIT COLOUR FULL SCREEN ANTI ALIASING MULTI PROCESSORS UP TO 128MB OF RAM AND SUPPORT FOR AGP 4X PLUS FILL RATES OF OVER 1 GIGAPIXELS IT HAS SET ITSELF TO BE THE MUST HAVE CARD FOR SERIOUS GAMERS.

G400MAX MATROX: MATROX'S NEWEST CARD IS SET TO TAKE ON THE VOODOO4 BUT WILL MAINLY BE PURCHASED BY THOSE WHO CANT WAIT FOR THE VOODOO4/5. IT HAS SOME VERY NICE FEATURES INCLUDING THE OPTION TO HOOK UP 2 MONITORS WHICH WOULD BE GREAT FOR GAMING. IT IS CURRENTLY FASTER THAN A VOODOO3 AND TNT2 ULTRA CARDS BUT IS GONNA GET CREAMED WHEN THE NEW RANGE OF VOODOO'S HIT THE SHELVES. ALL IN ALL A VERY DECENT CARD AND WORTH A LOOK.
