Overclocking and WindowsXP x64 Edition [Article, PCStats]
When one overclocks in the 32-bit world, we expect higher results. After all, a faster computer should lead to faster processing no matter the application, right? The next logical question is whether benchmarks would see similar results in a 64-bit computing environment? PCStats thought it would be interesting to see how overclocking is affected on the WindowsXP x64 Edition platform by illustrating both 32-bit and 64-bit benchmarks for an AMD Athlon64 4000+ based system. Would the test platform be stable enough to overclock successfully? Would WindowsXP x64 Edition require a more stable processor than its 32-bit counterpart does?

Software makers the only sure winners in hi-def war [News, Hexus]
Battle lines have been drawn in the hi-def DVD format war but who
comes out on top probably won't matter much to the firms that make
programs for authoring, editing, burning and playing high-def discs.
They're almost certain to end up smelling of roses since all seem to
be taking a more realistic (and we think commendable) stance than the
main camp followers by offering solutions for Blu-ray Disc and for HD
DVD. Fri, 06 Jan, 2006 | 0 Click(s) | Detail

Little Known Features of WindowsXP [Guide, PCStats]
As WindowsXP is based on Microsoft's line of server operating systems, it is undoubtedly that which provides it with a rather pleasing lack of crashes. Compare WindowsXP to Windows 98, where the daily reboot has pretty much been accepted as a feature of the operating system, and you can see why it has been embraced so well. This same sever-OS-origin also provides XP with a deep layer of configurability. Not necessarily tweaks as such, but tricks to getting a grip on what is happening behind the scenes for those with an interest. Call it... Zen and the art of WindowsXP Maintenance if you will. In this PCstats Guide, we will explore some of the little-known features and abilities of Windows XP Home and Professional Editions, with an eye towards providing a better understanding of the capabilities of the operating system, and the options available to the user.

Beginners Guides: Website Hosting With Apache [Guide, PCStats]

Quake 4 - The First 15 [Article, Hexus]
The first thing that you’ll notice as soon as you get into the
meat of Quake 4 is just how similar it looks to Doom 3. On the
graphics front the original Quake was very brown, Quake 2 was brown
and grey and now Quake 4 may well end up being known as Doom 3 under
a new name. In fact, purely as a first impression, I couldn’t help
but think that Quake 4 is the game Doom 3 should have been! Mon, 24 Oct, 2005 | 3 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
