WHENEVER AMD decides to roll out its next process generation "Thoroughbred" processors, some motherboard makers are absolutely ready to go with them.

According to a document we saw earlier today, Elitegroup (ECS), for example, has BIOS support ready for three speed revs of Thoroughbred.

The ECS K7S5A V1.x now has a BIOS update called s5a020206.exe, released on the 27th of February last.

This will allow the motherboard to support Thoroughbred microprocessors at ratings of XP1800, XP2100 and XP 2200.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
