NVIDIA HAS A NEW STEPPING of its hugely popular Nforce 2 chipset hitting the streets that is designed to be better with the new processors. VR Zone has the details.

And sticking with 400MHz FSB Athlons if you're wondering what the performance of the new processors will be like, X-bit Labs has a detailed article on DDR400 with the Athlon XP.

Over at the Rojak Pot they've got a whole list of Microsoft bandages for you to apply. Quite handy and it's not an April Fool's day joke. No, really. They are genuine. Adrian has even posted them with tomorrow's date so that you can be sure.

Jason over at Big Bruin reckons that you should buy your TFT monitor from a store and not from an online retailer. You can find out why in this review of a ViewSonic VA720 17" TFT panel.

If you thought that fancy case mods couldn't get much further than they've got, think again. OC Workbench has discovered that DFI has a new series of motherboards designed especially for modders. They glow in UV light.

We're always fond of a wee dram here at the INQUIRER a different sort of DRAM is almost as important. Tom's hardware has a nice big blockbuster playing: RAM Wars: Return of the JEDEC.

Dan is helping the user of an old monitor get things into focus. And what does "Yum cha" mean? Dan, as ever, has the answers in his latest batch of letters. Always a good read.

Those manufacturer naming conventions get ever more memorable with the likes of the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 6Y160M0. Whoops, forgotten it already. Thankfully, the product is much better than the name. Design Technica thinks it's worth an award. µ
