9.0.2 fixes things
xlr8yourmac.com
has gotten word from a reader that after installing Mac OS 9.0.2 on an iMac DV SE, the infamous DVD-out-of-sync problem dissappeared and network performance also seems to be faster. Yet, you can only get 9.0.2 with a new Mac so far, but once the 9.0.3 release is also finished, there might be an update from Apple or so.
OpenGL is also 1.1.3 under 9.0.2, wonder what it actually does.

After all Intel had talked a lot about USB 2.0 at IDF.

820? No thanx...
the register
also notes that maufacturers at CeBit rarely show any motherboards based on Intel's 820 chipset. After all the bugs, delays and other issues, distributors seem to prefer VIA's KX133 chipset for their mainboards.
Poor Intel:)

Mac3dfx
has some news on Mac specific VSA-100 SKUs. 3dfx is cautious with any announcements, but if you ask me, things seem tobe on track.
