Athlon 3200+ Coming:
The Athlon 3200+ with a 400MHz FSB is on the way in the next two weeks, according to C|Net. It’ll be interesting to see how well the processor overclocks at that high of a bus speed…it didn’t seem to hamper the new 800MHz FSB Pentium 4, which many people were worried about too.
The chipmaker is set to deliver its new Athlon XP 3200+ chip during the first half of the month. The chip will sport at least one new feature, a 400MHz system bus, according to sources familiar with the company's plans. The move to the faster bus, a step up from the company's current 333MHz bus, is intended to give the Athlon XP more performance by accelerating data traveling between the processor and system components such as memory.
ASUS SFF:
It seems that everyone has a small form factor PC coming out. You can add ASUS to that list now too. Joel and the gang at SFFTech have the review, let’s see what they had to say:
As more and more companies introduce SFF products we've begun to see distinctions emerging in the various types of product offered by companies. Companies like Shuttle, AMS, and Soltek have thus far focused mainly on enthusiasts and high-end users, IWILL's initial XP4 (minus AGP) was introduced into the budget-SFF market, and MSI has thus far mainly released corporate / business SFF's.
Detonator 43.51 WHQL:
The Guru3D gang has let me know that they have Detonator 43.51 WHQL drivers available for download. Get them if you need them and as always, let me know if they bork your box.
We just posted Detonator drivers 43.51, these are WHQL certified drivers which a lot of people where waiting on. We have both Windows 98/ME and Windows 2000/XP available. Furthermore all nVidia graphics cards to date are compatible with these drivers and thus includes the newer GeForceFX 5200, 5600 and 5800 series.
