Sharky Extreme has posted two reviews on AMD CPU´s.

One on the AMD Duron 800Mhz...
While Intel is idling in the slow lane with their FSB hobbled Celeron 700MHz, AMD is cruising by in the diamond lane with their new 800MHz Duron. In their usual style, AMD has pumped the Duron clock up 50MHz in order to reach 800MHz. We took a Duron 800MHz, put it through a battery of tests, bent it to our will, and analyzed how it performed to bring you this review today.

..and another on the AMD Athlon "Thunderbird" 1.2GHz
What do you do when you have record volume sales, your best chip is clocked faster than Intel´s greatest, and your stock price isn´t going up? If you´re AMD, you take the gloves off, drop your price even more, and come out swinging. With the release of AMD´s new 1.2GHz Athlon, which surprisingly costs less than $500, AMD is making a major power play for the x86 processor market. We have ringside seats and in this review, we are going to bring you a blow-by-blow report.

TweakTown has posted a review on the MSI 815e Pro MS-6337 socket370 ATX motherboard which has a whole showcase of features such as ATA100 support, AGP4x support and Intel Solano 815e 133MHz chipset plus much more!

MSI have been manufacturing top quality computer motherboards for the past 10 or more years now through their factory in Taiwan. The MSI MS-6337 815e motherboard is no different, it is indeed a top quality board. The MS-6337 is based on the Intel Solano 815e chipset designed for socket 370 133MHz FC-PGA processors such as the Intel Pentium III and the Intel Celeron II. This board officially supports 133MHz bus, unlike Intel BX440 chipsets which only supports 100MHz bus speeds. The MS-6337 has a complete showcase of features such as AGP 4x/2x, 66/100/133MHz FSB, 2 IDE channels up to ATA100, TOP Tech III support and a 1AGP / 6PCI / 1CNR slot design. The MS-6337 has two bad features noticed straight away, they are the integrated DirectSound AC´97 audio ICH2 chip, which cause all sorts of trouble with most PCI / ISA soundcards. And, the only other bad feature is having no heatsink for the 815e chipset which at times can get hot even when not overclocked.

ViaHardware has posted comparsion review between the 3dfx Voodoo 4 PCI and the Nvidia MX PCI.

The whole 3dfx vs. NVIDIA debate has been raging on for quite awhile now. Camps are set up on both sides of the issue. One side stands proudly behind the little guy that was NVIDIA who has now grown up to be a big, strong burley man. Others stand side by side with the company that is generally credited as being the parent of consumer 3d graphics, 3dfx (formerly 3Dfx). He's old, he's wise, and he's got a lot of credits under his belt, and he's not going to let some upstart waltz into his territory without a fight either.
