For those interested in learning more about the metal under their PC's hood, Tom's Hardware has a great intro to PCB manufacturing, Ars Technica has recently written an architectural study of the P4, and ExtremeTech has a decent look at the South Bridge." The circuit board article is really good - explains it better than the textbooks I've seen.

    It's just been a S-L-O-W period in hardware news. The excitement of MP Athlons has subsided, the P4 scene is quiet, the GeForce3 has been out for a while... Honestly, is there anything NEW happening in the hardware world? (Aside from future releases...)
