Some stories from AMDZone amdzone.com Dual Athlon Cluster Reaches 825 GFLOPS: heise.de ECS Athlon Boards Take 50% Of Sales: digitimes.com In the story, they have a table of what they are going to be showing at CeBit, and it includes a SIS chipset based motherboard (748) which supprots DDR-400. I have my doubts about this particular chipset. I wonder what kind of FSB speeds it supports. If FSB can be overclocked high, it could be a good chipsets for overclocker. The next one if from Mageek's Inquirer. AMD to open Moscow office: theinquirer.net Joe

Actually DIVX disks that are burned are just VCD's (when done properly). They can be played in almost any DVD player. The files can be burned to CD using a program such as Nero 5.5 or above. Personally, I don't bother; of my two DVD players: the Sony will not play any CDR's and my other unit is a reference player (Proceed) which is finicky with such disks (you'd think for $10 grand it would make coffee and toast!). At least 80 percent of DVD players that are out there will have no problem.

Joe: Correct if I am wrong, but as far as I know, there are no DVD players out there that could actually play these DIVX created disks. Right now, your options are limited to playing on a computer or attaching TV monitor to video output of the computer. As your subsequent exchange with GW pointed out, you are absolutely correct. However, the cost of TV-Out on a modern graphics card is very low (~ $15&#133 for Video-In as well, add another $30 or so). Even better would be the digital out combined with a flat panel display ;-) -fyo
