Assassin's Creed at TweakGuides
Written by t-readyroc   
Friday, 18 April 2008

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."

No SLi for first-gen Nehalem
Written by t-readyroc   
Thursday, 17 April 2008

I find it very perplexing that the first generation of Nehalem won't support SLi, but will support CrossFire. Weird, but then nVidia did open the whoop-ass can, didn't they?

"If there is a mechanism for Intel to remove Nvidia from its chipset list for future products, this is highly likely to happen."

 
TF2: Goldrush screens and video
Written by t-readyroc   
Thursday, 17 April 2008

Joystiq's got four screenshots and a video clip of the new TF2 map, Goldrush. Head on over for the content if you're interested. Looks like a pretty big map...

"We're still anxious to get our hands on the latest gametype – Payload – but this oughta do for now."

 
Catalyst 8.4 suite comes with elderly game bug fixes
Written by t-readyroc   
Thursday, 17 April 2008

New Catalyst drivers are available for all OSs today as well, bringing the current version up to 8.4. The latest drivers fix a slew of game-related bugs.

"The driver adds very little in terms of features: hardcore gamers will surely be disappointed to see that the headline revision is better support for Folding@Home."

 
firefox and Safari updated
Written by t-readyroc   
Thursday, 17 April 2008

Firefox is up to 2.0.0.14 as of this morning, which takes care of a Java exploit. Safari's been updated to 3.1.1 to deal with Java bugs as well.

"Vista and XP users need patching against these flaws and a brace of other vulnerabilities specific to Windows machines, involving memory corruption and a less serious timing issue in Safari 3.1."

 
USB null modem cable allows pc-to-pc connection
Written by t-readyroc   
Thursday, 17 April 2008

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."
