AMD Opteron chipsets shown in detail

THERE HAVE BEEN STORIES going back and forth about AMD's plans for a workstation chipset for the Opteron. Just so that you know exactly what AMD is up to, AMDBoard has details on all of the Opteron support chips.

You read every Canterwood review on THE INQUIRER, right? So pointing out the links is purely academic, right? You can read Fudo's take here, Nova's take here and my own musings here.

Hexus had a look at a Canterwood too. They're big fans of it.

And VR-Zone had a play with a Canterwood as well. They thought it was stonking.

The only surprise that everyone has had is Intel deciding to put the 3.0GHz P4 on hold. None of the reviewers above found the glitch that is holding it back.

Sander over at Hardware Analysis is a lucky devil. He's got an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro to play around with. It's a very nice card indeed.

Nordic Hardware plucked up the courage to do a 6 power supply roundup. If you thought all PSUs were created equal, prepare to be corrected.

There's very little causing a stir at Techseekers... Sorry, there's something very little causing a stir at Techseekers. Eric has got an Nforce 2 based Shuttle small form factor PC on the bench.

That strange looking Cooler Master heat sink and fan is still stirring things up. This time at Tweakers Australia.

Last up is a notebook PC. It's a ECS Desknote A980 and it uses a 533MHz FSB P4 desktop processor. That's right, it can have a 3.06GHz P4 whacked into it. It's got GeForce 420 Go graphics too. OCWorkbench checks it out. µ
