pr0n vidsoh so important data.Overclocking the P4 1.7GHz on 800MHz Bus
Soltek sent us word of their success in running a Pentium 4 1.7GHz on an 200MHz (800MHz QDR) front-side bus. Here's a quote from what they had to say:
This BIOS can fix AGP clock at 66Mhz & PCI clock at 33Mhz when overclocking; by this way, you can get a more stable system. Our R&D team have sucessfully overclock this mainboard to 200Mhz (200 x 4 = 800Mhz FSB)!
This is certainly a great news for overclockers; however, please note that now most CPUs have been locked, it is very difficult to find an unlocked CPU." Click on the link for more info and picture proof...
Backup MyPC review
How many times have you installed that snazzy new detonator driver, or installed a new program only to find out that it didn't like your system, and you suddenly cant boot up your system? Today Guru3D.com will look into backups made EZ, Backup My PC, by Veritas.
Backup My PC, provides, an easy graphical interface into backing up all those media files you have downloaded, or those all important documents, heck, everything single thing in your hard drive, given you have enough cd’s or extra hard drive space to fit it all in. With a few simple clicks, you can be on your way to backing up your system, while you surf the net, or while your out, doing real world stuff.
So Sun plans to give away for computers that run Windows, Linux and Unix operating systems from Hewlett-Packard Co. and IBM a basic version of its application server, a type of backbone software that runs custom applications necessary for web services and communicates data between applications.
If it succeeds, developers wooed by free software will create programs for its systems, rather than Microsoft's.
"We are going after the .NET developer and deployer and the Linux community developer and deployer," said Marge Breya, vice president of the Sun ONE software division.
"What we're really trying to do is bring together these three developer communities into a consolidated Java web services ignition, if you well," she said.
Santa Clara, California-based Sun is a former Internet star which called itself "the dot in dot-com" until the firms that bought its computers to run their networks began going bankrupt.
Sun hopes that the free software will stimulate sales of its servers and of other software tools, including more sophisticated versions of the application server, Breya said.
By setting the non-Microsoft standard, Sun is "making sure we have a right to compete," she said. "We define open standards, compete on implementation."
However, the free offer is hardly an assurance of success.
Sun's competitive success in the application server market has been limited so far. In 2001 Sun slipped to fourth place in the market with a 7.9 percent share, behind BEA Systems Inc., International Business Machines Corp. and Oracle Corp., researcher IDC Corp reported.
Sun also has failed to convince many that it is serious about software applications, which executives have long characterized as the means to sell hardware.
