Yamhill might be much closer than thought

THERE WILL BE a good few people who'll say it's all just a conspiracy but there is no getting away from the fact that the whole industry needs to move to 64bit soon. Very soon. The only question is whether Intel is already there. Chip Architect has done some fine detective work. The results are Prescott Clues and yet more clues.

SubZeroTech decided it was time to play with a commercial water cooling system. Filling the thing up with UV sensitive liquid has left Brad desperate for some lamps to go in his system.

Turning to memory for a moment, OCTools has some Geil DDR. Real serious DDR. PC3500 and PC3700 to be exact. Ramil doesn't know how fast it can get, his processor maxed-out before the DRAM did at 456MHz FSB.

It seems a shame to have written so little about Intel today, the company has been impeccably well behaved during the Opteron launch, unlike a certain competitor during the Centrino launch. Just to give a nice reminder of the good stuff that Intel can do, here's a Canterwood based motherboard from AOpen over at OC Workbench.

It would only just be a proper hardware roundup without a heatsink and fan combo being reviewed. To make sure this is definitely a proper roundup, here're two going head-to-head. AMDMB finds out which is the coolest. They're both CoolerMasters.

Last up is a bit more comparison. This time of overclocking speeds. VR-Zone has been building itself a database of how fast readers have managed to get their Athlons and which batches managed the most. You can find Thoroughbreds here and Bartons here. µ
