I enjoyed comparing F-Secure's 2003 and 2004 year-end summaries on Internet security. Very good reads - well written, and informative (with just a touch of nostalgia!).

I also enjoyed reading Maximum PC's new article about how the new AMD FX-55 64-bit CPU running at 2.6 GHz (socket 939) completely trounced on Intel's P4 Extreme Edition CPU running at 3.46 GHz (LGA775 socket) with a 1067 MHz FSB. Very interesting. Of course, they're comparing a 64-bit processer with a 32-bit processor; apples and oranges. Why not test the AMD against a 64-bit Xeon or Itanium or something...?

They also had a great article on the new PCI-Express bus (the successor to the aging AGP bus) and how you can now have dual nVidia GeForce 6800's with SLI running on the same motherboard at the same time.
