MS IE Patch Needs More Testing
Although Microsoft released a trio of security bulletins Tuesday, a fourth was notable primarily by its absence. Security analysts had expected to see a cumulative patch for Internet Explorer among the mix this month that would address a series of vulnerabilities made public as long ago as November, 2003. In a Webcast Wednesday, Microsoft officials said that they have created an IE patch, but that they're holding it until testing is completed.

Pioneer DVR-106D review
The drive itself is capable of writing to DVD-R/RW's, DVD+R/RW's, and CD-R/RW's meaning that all the main formats except DVD-RAM are covered. DVD-R's and DVD+R's can be written to at up to 4x speed, while DVD+RW support is for up to 2.4x, 2x for DVD-RW, 16x for CD-R's and 10x for CD-RW. While some newer drives are now coming out with support for 4x writing in DVD+RW and 8x for DVD-R and DVD+R this is still inline with the speed of the majority of drives on the market. While the higher speed media is also more expensive and harder to find support for this would be nice, even if just for in the future as higher speed media becomes readily available.

ATI Radeon 9800SE review
The considered two varieties of boards on the base of ATI Radeon 9800SE vividly demonstrated that not all SE cards are equally useful. The Sapphire card based on the ATI Radeon 9800SE chip using the PCB design of ATI Radeon 9500 Pro at all of the tests shows an essentially lower performance than in the 256-bit version of ATI Radeon 9800SE by PowerColor. The purchase of a card based on the PCB of ATI Radeon 9500 Pro can be recommended only in case the price is substantially lower than that for the "right" ATI Radeon 9800SE based on the PCB of ATI Radeon 9700 Pro.

Intel Tejas & Socket 775 Unveiled
Originally Tejas was listed as the first Intel CPU to have a 1.2GHz FSB, but now AnandTech know a bit more about the CPU. Apparently a total of 10 Tejas samples have been shipped out to various friends of Intel, all running at 2.8GHz. What's also interesting to note is that our sources have informed us that at 2.8GHz Tejas uses around 150W of power - about 50% more than Prescott at the same clock speed.
