Mac OS X 10.1.3

xlr8yourmac has been posting a lot of interesting and helpful tips and reader reports on the now already several days old Mac OS X update 10.1.3, which is far from unproblematic, as far as it seems.

Radeon 7000 review

IMG has a nice review of the Radeon 7000 PCI graphics card, comparing it to the original Radeon Mac Edition PCI (year 2001). It shows nicely how the older card beats the newer (and cheaper) card at higher resolutions, due to more rendering pipelines.

RtCW System Requirements updated

IMG has the updated system requirements for the hopefully soon to be released game Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Not only are the requirements extremely steep, they also seem to be forced beyond reason. I'm thinking more and more this is going to be a so called "outhouse" port.

MacCentral is the only .php based site that I currently know of that repeatedly freezes Netscape 4.7.9. That's bad, their news are usually quite good. Sorry MacCentral, crashing pages are not going to be linked anymore.
