[H]ardNews 3rd Edition

Shhh, Hunting Wabbit:

Even if you are not hunting wabbit, this commercially produced "silent" box still might let you sleep better at night or even better if you share your computer room with someone.

Due to this steady evolution, ARM Systems say that their current offerings are quieter than the original model, despite being many times more powerful. Both AMD and Intel processors are offered in their Stealth line.

*MDZone Loves Intel!

They seem fully biased against Intel to me and will not even spell "Intel" correctly on their site, but the banner really threw me off. Seems to me as though Intel's money is good with *hris *om though at his Zone. News Image Thanks to Tim Backstrom.

More MX700 Feedback:

Stephen Murphy shares his experience with the new Logitech Mouseware (linked below) and his MX700.

Hi, Just thought I'd send a mail about my experience with the new release.

+I uninstalled my current Mouseware. +Rebooted. +Checked my drive for any leftover logitech files. (There were none) +Checked my registry for any leftover logitech mouseware references. (Found and deleted one) +I installed the new 9.75 release. +Rebooted.

On reboot I was asked if I wanted to configure my mouse I said yes. I set the wheelbutton to perform as 'Middle Mouse' button.

I set the thumb button to perform as 'Back'. Set my scroll size to 6 lines. (note all the crazy compatibility checkboxes have gone)

Clicked OK.

Tested for laggy scrolling in IE using a web page with lots of content and a sizable amount of graphics. Funnily enough HardOCP was the site. :) Works fine. Zero lag. Performance on the desktop is fine.

Booted up Quake3 - all buttons & scroller worked perfectly.

Booted up UT2003 - all buttons & scroller worked perfectly.

Booted up JediKnight2 - scroller worked but button functionality was broken.

Booted up BF1942 - all buttons & scroller worked perfectly.

Thanks for share on this Thanksgiving Stephen.
