HWRoundup So what's next on the AMD launch pad? Something mobile and something dual with a P - any week now. But if you can't wait, mosey on over to Tom's Hardware Guide, where columnist Omid Rahmat runs through what he calls the 'dualie' world of multi-threading and parallelism (http://www.tomshardware.com/smoke/01q2/010420/index.html) in hia preview of the AMD760MP chipset.



You guys remember the BP6, yeah? Dual Celerons - Cheapo systems high performance, a system which kicked? Well how about dual Durons... cheap, fast, oh and apparently possible, says Tech Report (http://www.tech-report.com/onearticle.x/2328).


With the recent DDR memory price drops (and slowly increasing again...), it could be time to upgrade your mobo. Max3D has a look (http://www.maximum3d.com/reviews/ax371.htm) at the AOpen AX37 Plus.


In light of recent VIA 686B issues Abit has released a patch for the KT7A Motherboard range. Grab this file (http://www.amdmb.com/files.php#kt7) at AthlonMB.

And here (http://users.interact.net.au/~pwcl/q22001/wdviaw2k.htm) is a detailed write-up about the effect the VIA686B bug has on Western Digital hard drives.



Now a plug for my site Hexus.net (http://www.hexus.net). Have a look at our review of this weird-looking water cooler (http://www.hexus.net/review.php?review=180). And while you're at it, tap into this totally water-cooled system review (http://www.hexus.net/review.php?review=180) from HardOCP.


Toms Hardware Guide has revisited KT266 mobo land armed with some bios revision. Check out the results here (http://www.tomshardware.com/mainboard/01q2/010416/index.html).
