Maxtor has introduced 300GB Diamond Max 10 drives (http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=17893). These drives have the benefit of using single chip Serial ATA technology, and also include native command queuing for dual processors and also come with a 16MB buffer for all models over 250GB.

Meanwhile, it looks like the MSI Geforce 6800 Ultra (probably a pretty expensive card) has some serious problems (http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=17887) with freeze ups that can only be fixed by flashing the card's BIOS.

Infected PCs continue to have problems with the MyDoom variant MyDoom-S (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/08/16/mydoom_spam/), when their silly users are silly enough to fall for the trick of opening an infectious attachment called photos_arc.exe.

And, in very interesting news, AMD may well ship a 4-core CPU by 2007. Read more here (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/08/16/amd_quad-core_opteron/) about the plans for a quad-core Operton.

How about 100TB on a 3.5" disk?

Here (http://www.physorg.com/news785.html) is a newsstory about the new nano tech and here (http://colossalstorage.net/oled_press.doc) is the press release (note, it's in Word format).

I want one :D
