P4 Heatsink Round-Up:

The majority of you out there still air cool your burning hot Pentium 4 based boxes so the crew at Mad Shrimps thought a P4 heatsink round-up is just what the doctor ordered. Hit the link to see what those crazy crustaceans learned from hours of testing today’s hottest heat sinks.

A whole year passed since our last roundup of Pentium 4 heatsinks, as with the Athlon XP roundup I did in August we see the integration of heat pipes on a lot of the high end models. This will be a to the point review, each heatsink will be evaluated on easiness of use and installation, compatibility with different platforms and of course its performance will be thoroughly tested.

More Flaws Found:

Ugh. Another set of flaws have been found in non-Windows based media players so, if you are like most of us that use multiple media players, you better get patched up.

Apple Computer and RealNetworks have both issued fixes for their Windows software to patch serious security vulnerabilities. Apple released Quicktime 6.5.2 on Wednesday to plug two holes in its Windows media player.
