Explosive Hardware has posted their AMD Tech Tour 2002 Coverage

During the presentations every manufacturer that was there had a representative make a short presentation. Some of them were good while I must say others were very lacking and un-informative. AMD had the most informative presentations covering everything there is needed to know for a systems builder which is who the show was aimed towards. They talked about their system and how they don't judge a processor by it's megahertz rating for performance but by how many clock cycles per second it can do.

Computer Hardware Websites Today - Part 2

Mikhailtech has posted part 2 of their Computer Hardware Websites Today series

The reason for today's follow-up is an interesting conversation I had on ICQ several days back with a fellow webmaster. The following is a saved version of the entire encounter. No editing. Chances are this won't change much, just as the first editorial didn't. But at least here is proof. This is an exact cut & paste from the conversation from beginning to end. I never began the conversation in hopes of using it for a write-up but about half-way through it hit me. I chose to leave everything as is without even checking grammar. Only edited parts are the the username and any direct references to the website. I'm expecting to get flamed for this one, however, as some of the things I said myself are a bit out there, but I might as well tell the whole truth.
