Liteon 48x12x48x Internal CD-RW Drive
3dXtreme is excited to announce our Liteon 48x12x48x Internal CD-RW Drive Review. Here's a blurb:

"I have been impressed with the quality and reliability of Liteon products for some time now. The Liteon 48x12x48x does not disappoint! This is the fastest CD-RW drive and the best price/performance drive on the market. Liteon continues to push the envelope by increasing burn speeds while providing a high quality product at a very reasonable cost. I've already seen this drive shipping for about $95 and around $100 shipped. If you're in the market for a new CD-RW there's no good reason not to look twice at this drive. You won't be disappointed!"

Intel 845G & P4 2.53GHz
Tweakers Australia has just posted an article about the Intel 845G chipset and the new Pentium 4 2.53GHz processor. I know it's a little dated, but still, I thought it would be worth publishing before we get into the retail board reviews. Here's a snip:

In May we saw the release of Intel's 845E chipset, the latest mainstream P4 DDR platform incorporating a 533MHz front-side bus speed teamed with the new ICH4 Southbridge. We also saw their 845GL chipset, still using the older 400MHz front-side bus and no AGP slot, but integrated video. Last but not least we were introduced to the 845G chipset, essentially a hybrid between the 845E and 845GL chipsets utilizing the 533MHz front-site bus, ICH4 Southbridge, AGP as well as integrated video.

E-commerce and content companies _ many of which were business-to-consumer concerns that were quick fatalities during the first wave of the Internet shakeout _ dominate the Internet company failures to-date.

Of the 862 shutdowns, 368, or 43%, are E-commerce companies, while content companies have a tally of 217, or 25%. Infrastructure, Internet access, and professional-services companies account for 16%, 10%, and 6% of shutdowns, respectively.

Over the past two months, shutdowns were dominated by Internet-content providers, infrastructure companies, Internet-services providers, and other providers of dial-up and broadband Internet-access service.

As companies disappear, many people would prefer to forget the excesses of the dot-com frenzy, when startups, often based on little more than a PowerPoint presentation, scooped up millions from investors before collapsing.

Webmergers.com has found, though, that a number of individuals are interested in remembering tales of such excesses.

The research firm, along with the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business, last week launched an online archive designed to create a permanent record of the dot-com era. The Web site, www.businessplanarchive.org, encourages former Internet executives, employees, and investors to submit E-mails and other items from both failed and successful dot-com companies.

So far, more than 400 individuals have registered with the site and its researchers have been promised hundreds of business plans, says Webmergers president Tim Miller. In one case, an East Coast venture capitalist who was about to destroy 1,500 business plans called up researchers and offered instead to ship them to the Business Plan Archive, says Miller in his latest report.
