2. What's new in the news last week?

* Reuters: Advanced Micro Devices Inc., Intel Corp.'s main rival in microprocessors, on Tuesday unveiled its Athlon XP chip for desktop computers and a new branding scheme, in a bid to regain ground lost to its larger rival this year during a bitter price war.
Rather than identify the Athlon XP chips by their clock speed, which is one measure of a processor's performance, AMD has moved to model numbers. The Athlon XP will bear monikers of 1800+, 1700+, 1600+ and 1500+, with each lower model number representing a lower clock speed.

* Unfortunately the company providing Internet advertising support for Computer Hope has gone out of business. Therefore Computer Hope has been frantically temporarily correcting all advertisement banners on the top of the page to help correct issues with pages opening slowly. Because of this issue we have yet again been set back on our dictionary update and our newsletter had to be sent out a day late.
- Computer Hope is continuing to work on a complete modification of our computer dictionary. While this work is being done unfortunately it is possible you may experience bad links until completed.
