Computer hardware and software tested and reviewed for your information.
In November 2001, I first put together my own computer.
Does that mean that I have finally joined the doers, thinkers, and writers that comprise the cyber elite - the Digerati? No.
Your skills are complete. Indeed you are powerful - as the emperor has foreseen.
I purchased my first computer from highly-rated direct retailer Quantex Microsystems Inc. in 1997. That computer has a Pentium 200MMX CPU, and has given years of reliable service. However, it is outdated and does not keep up with the processing needs of modern software, including even the latest web browsers. It can still handle The Incredible Machine. Never mind about playing Unreal Tournament 2003.
I sense something. A presence I've not felt since...

What is the truth about Area 64?
In September 2003, AMD launched its highly anticipated Athlon 64 processor in a special event in San Francisco, dubbed Area 64. As a contest winner, I was invited to attend the product launch, participate in the All Access Contest, and purchase the new CPU with motherboard and memory at a steep discount. This is my journal of the events in Area 64 and subsequent system build.
For many years I have had an idea for creating a very cool, but highly research and development intensive, product. This novel product idea builds on patented XBA™ technology, and a complete prototype chip has been manufactured by Infineon Technologies on their 0.17 micron embedded DRAM process. 
As Infineon has closed down its embedded DRAM fabrication line, Project X will not yet appear on the PC desktop market.
I desperately want to have the time to see whether I can pull it off (I believe I can) and every PC user would kill to have it. IF ONLY there were more time . . . If you have made it down to this point on this page, I am sure I don't need to tell you how busy I am. I am already crushed by my shorter-term project backlog. Since work on Project-X would require me to disappear from the world for a LONG time, it is continually pushed back until all of the much less time consuming projects have been completed and are in your hands.
