Rumor has it that AMD's new South Bridge will allow Phenom processors to clock higher. Believe it or not, it works. We try and figure out why, and by how much....
If you recall my past blog post on Windows Home Server, we were discussing a critical file corruption bug in the operating system that Microsoft had finally identified. The Drive Extender technology for handling the WHS storage pool had a particularly nasty and hard to fix race condition that resulted in data corruption in certain situations when the...
(7/22/08 update - We are still clarifying ACC details with AMD before we publish the full article this week)
