May 16, 2008 - 7:56 PM - by SRTDodge05 | Taipei (Taiwan) - There is a new battle brewing in Taiwan and this time it is Asus that is bringing out the big guns against its rival Gigabyte: Gigabyte claimed in a recent presentation in front of journalists that Asus is lat-out lying about power savings and power efficiency of its EPU motherboards. Asus responded saying that Gigabyte is lying and is now threatening to sue Gigabyte as well as websites "spreading" Gigabyte’s claims.
Gigabyte apparently used an event last week in Taipei to tell journalists from hardware websites what it found out about Asus’ EPU motherboards.

May 16, 2008 - 8:05 AM - by SRTDodge05 | A KINDLY GEEK has produced a free tool to resurrect AMD machines borked by installing Service Pack 3 for Windows XP.
The fault affects mainly HP machines with an OEM splash screen and a number of Asus mobos, to which XP refuses to talk on the grounds that they're not fully ACPI compliant.
Jesper, over at msinfluentials, has a handy tool you can get your hands on for nothing which is said to fix the problem. Not having tried it ourselves, we cannot say for sure if it works or not, but if you've got a dead AMD system, whaddya got to lose?
