Pentium 4 - Another Recount?
The situation with our Pentium 4 evaluation reminds many of us of the stuff that's currently going on in the State of Florida. As much as we all would like to see an end of this, we have to face the fact that sometimes it is rather difficult to find the truth and sometimes it takes a bit more time than expected. This article is supposed to explain the reason behind the 'Pentium 4 recount situation'.

Tom's Favorite Gadget -
The Nomad Jukebox from Creative

Whoever hasn't got the message by now will never get it. MP3 kicks some major butt because of many reasons. Taking advantage of MP3 is easier than ever before, but until recently, mobile MP3-devices were limited to only an hour of playtime or to shock-sensitive MP3-CDROM devices. Creative's Nomad Jukebox is using a 6 GB notebook hard drive, which offers a tremendous amount of MP3-storage space. However, with a little bit of skill the Jukebox can easily be 'upgraded' to 20 GB or even more.

DDR-SDRAM Has Finally Arrived
Today AMD is launching the 760 chipset, providing the first official platform with DDR SDRAM support. Will this new memory type be able to live up to the high expectations that were generated in the last 12 months? We tested PC2100 DDR SDRAM on two Athlon platforms with AMD760 chipset and one Pentium III platform with VIA's upcoming Apollo Pro266.

MPEG-4 - Copying a DVD Video to CD-ROM
It is a well-known fact that DVD/MPEG-2 video sequences take up a lot of disk space. This makes a distribution on CD-ROMs unsuitable. A small tool shows that there is a way to convert video data from MPEG-2 into the brand new MPEG-4 format. This saves a lot! You can even burn 110 minutes of full resolution footage onto a CD-R.

Painting a New Picture of Pentium 4 - Tweaked MPEG4 Encoding
Painting a New Picture of Pentium 4 - Tweaked MPEG4 Encoding Since my last article about Pentium 4 Intel was far from lazy. While Intel's US-employees enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday, their European colleagues were busy working on a tweak for FlasK MPEG that sheds a very different light on Pentium 4's video-encoding performance. Don't miss those new insights!
