Koroush sends word that his TweakGuide for Assassin's Creed is now available. Dang that guy's quick, ain't he (considering the game's only been available on the PC for just over a week)?
"The Assassin's Creed Tweak Guide is now available and contains not only full descriptions of exactly what all the in-game settings do, but also compares DX9 to DX10 mode, details all the advanced .ini tweaking possible with the game, and provides a range of troubleshooting tips spread throughout the guide."

Kind of like how you can connect a couple of PCs together with a firewire cable right now.... but different. If I'm reading this correctly, the transfer rates won't come close to firewire though, at around 24Mbps.
"The cable, used with FTDI's Virtual COM port (VCP) drivers, the USB NMC provides inter-PC communications at up to 3-Mbaud rates."
