Right in time for Xmas, Lucas Arts has released a patch for Star Wars: Episode One, Racer that enables the game to run on Voodoo cards now. After all the speculation and analysis around the problems that had occured, this is a logical consequence drawn by LucasArts. Let's hope they keep up the good work. mac3Dfx.com

Darwin news
MacWEEK has an article telling us the news around Darwin development, features and goals. For all of you who don't know what Darwin is: Darwin is the OpenSource part of Mac OS X, that is being developed by a dedicated team to keep things going. Most certainly Darwin will also be PC compatible, i.e. run on Intel machines. However, it is NOT Mac OS X.

The multiple/bigger monitor/system debate
David K. Every discusses whether one giant monitor or several smaller monitors is better for you. Or should you get 2 separate computers? Remote control? I've had a lot of discussions with David already, and we often didn't agree with each other, but this time I agree fully. By the way, this issue ws written on a dual monitor config:) MacWEEK

Minuet, as it is called, now sports 59 new or updated components and will be vital for Pismo, Mystic and the 17" iMac to run properly. AppleInsider

Coppermine bug, the truth?
Earlier I once reported on a bug that was found in the circuits of the Coppermine P3s. As rumors have grown since then (on the PC side), someone now wnated to hear the "truth" and asked Intel itself. They say the bug only happens extremely seldom and is only present in the older 0.25 micron Coppermines. Let's hope it is the truth. 3Dhardware.com
