A start-up located in the French Alps near Grenoble is readying a tiny ARM-based Linux single-board computer (SBC) in a USB key form-factor. Calao, based in Sant Martin le Vinoux, is also readying a tiny Linux SBC designed to plug into QIL (quad in-line) IC sockets.

It is a slow Monday around here, I guess everyone needs a Starbucks to wake up. Personally, I'm starving and I'm heading for lunch in a few. Hah, perhaps the 'last post wins' thread killed everyones energy. graysky and Ahnetworks both have interesting posts and projects going on if you are looking for something cool to read. 

 And if you haven't yet, have a read on the great, new wiki article, Core 2 duo overclock. Also good for the Core 2 Quads.

Core Linux developers are finding themselves managing and checking, rather than coding, as the number of kernel contributors grows and the contributor network becomes more complex.

So with a 6 month-old at home, we've been plowing through video tapes and memory cards like nobody's business. With photos, no problem. The pics get loaded onto the HTPC and backed up by the file server nightly. 

The overclocking Wiki is home to many folding at home users... so the next logical step is to form a team! Let's see just how much computing power we really have! 

To download the FAH client as well as register a username, visit their download page . Once installed, the wizard will as for your username and a team name.  Enter the username you registered on the link above and use team number 77826.

We can't wait to see the stats you help us produce!

Its quite unusual for Intel and Microsoft to release a microcode update. Its also quite unusual for me to link to an article posted by the Inquirer. Well, I guess its going to be that kind of day.

The microcode is a almost unknown piece of software that give the CPU in your computer its most basic instructions. When Microsoft and Intel release a microcode update and simply call it a 'reliability update' I start screaming conspiracy and run out and download the update ASAP. It probably means a serious bug in the processor was found, it looks like by Dell.

Most people are at a loss when searching for where to buy a new PC or what to purchase to assemble and construct a PC on their own. This page is provided as a comprehensive guide to all the basics of purchasing PCs and / or assembling PCs from scratch. This page will not cover any operating systems (OS), or be a guide as to how to use or install them. Instead, it will take the cost of Windows XP, the most common OS, into account for price comparisons. This guide does not include Macintosh systems, servers, or laptops at the moment. Future versions will.

One of the things that has made this project what it is today is the support of the forums. By the efforts of the members a community has risen which handles many aspects of the day to day operation of this site.

For example, we provide free, best effort, technical support to anyone who needs it. Simply register and you can immediately begin posting whatever questions you may have in the forums. Very quickly someone will be around to answer whatever question you may have. Or, simply head to the General Conversation forum and you can talk about whatever is on your mind today.

Ok, so this is pretty old news by now but I wanted to post about it since I think its quite the project. The guys at Team NexGen are working on overclocking a system to 8 Ghz using Liquid Nitrogen cooling and a very specially modified board.
