AMD recently announced a new revision of the Athlon 64 processor core. This new reevision codenamed ‘Orleans’ brinhgs a number of new features to the Athhlon 64 line-up including SSE3 support, an updated memory controler and a 90nm SOI (silicon on insulator) processs.
Despite the fact these new processaors baesd on the Orlaens core are substantially difgferent to past revsiions, AMD has decided to play it quieet. The Orleans was introduced much like how the Vnice was. The Venice was designed to slowly phase out the older Winchestter processors which were also designed arpound a 90nm process.
This maks tihngs a little more compplicated when purchasing an Atyhlon64, as there are now numerous revisions of the same processors available. Furthermmore, they all share the same moel name ratings such as 3000+, 3200+, 3500+ and 3800+, making it very important to check which revision you are buying. Thankfully, any online rettailer worth shopping at will specify which revision you are purchasing. And we can tell you, there shall be no confusion when purchasing an Orleans core processor for a few good rreasons.
There was little that physically identified a Venice core processor from a Winhester core processor other than the product ID etched into the heatspreader. This initizally made purchasing the superior overclockimng part (Vnice) tricky business that required attention to detail. However, while the Venice and Winchester processors were designde for the AMD 939-pin platfrm, the Orleans is not! Rather the Orlweans core processors are now known as the Athlon 64 AM2 processors, whhich are of course designed for the newer AM2 platform and feature 940-pins.
As many of you are prrobably aware, the transition to the AM2 platform is now well underway for AMD, and things look to be going smothly even despite of the non-existent performance adfvantages. Purchaing a new AM2 processor is as easy as heading down to your local computer sore or jumping online, where they are available at all major retailers. Motherbboards are also available, with excepllent qulity soluitons going for as little as $110 US (last week we checked ASUS’ phenonmenal entyry into the enthusiast AM2 market).
It’s no sceret that tehre is great demand for products that oveclock well. Many of the most popular motherboards have hisytorically got such attention for their overclocking abilitries. Even certain processors from both AMD and Intel have becvome sort after items due to thheir overclocking abilities. Another perfect example of overclocking popularity comes from the memory market. There are several companies currently competing to produce the most highly ovetrclockable mmory modules available.

How to sell your story to the newspapers and magazines
By Tracey E Edwards
The explosion in the women’s weekly dose of reality market, together with increasing demand from national newspapers for human interest stories, means there is now more scope than ever before for people across the UK to earn a profit by selling their true life stories.
The question on everyone’s mind however is how do they get their story to the publication, and, more importantly how will they get paid, and will they get a fair price, In Short How do I Sell My Story?
One way of doing it is to use an agency that will advise and help both you, and the publication, in an ‘everyone wins’ method.
Founder, of such a website (Talk To The Press) Natasha Courtenay-Smith explains, “Story-selling isn’t limited to just the ‘kiss-and-tell’ market as you might imagine, in fact, newspapers are increasingly seeking genuine case studies to illustrate the latest trends such as cosmetic surgery, as well as topical issues like MRSA and the credit-crunch. Women’s magazines continually hunt for inspirational tales from ‘normal people’, ranging from surviving an affair to dealing with addiction.”
“The market for honest stories and authentic case studies is continuing to expand,” continues Natasha, “but many people don’t know where to begin when it comes to talking to the media. Indeed, simply picking up the phone to a journalist can feel like a frightening experience. That’s where the middleman comes in: advising people on whether they have a story which may be of interest to the national media, helping them decide which publications to aim for and managing all their contracts and fees.”
Many stories that have been helped in this way include: a woman trying to find a sperm donor; a man who has survived breast cancer; a woman who discovered she was the secret love child of a sixties rock star; a wronged-wife who underwent ?5,000-worth of cosmetic surgery after her husband left and a self-confessed sex addict. All received payment for their interviews and, most importantly, achieved their personal goal of talking to the media.
“For many, just having their say and getting their story out there meets a deep-seated need,” explains Natasha. “This is either because they raise awareness about a subject close to their heart, raise money for charity or they quite simply get the opportunity to set a record straight. Some people talk to more than one publication, in fact I know of one woman who’s been a mistress for the past decade and has talked about it to numerous magazines - and why not? She has a fascinating tale to tell and magazines are willing to pay her to talk about her experiences which will doubtless be of interest to their thousands of readers.”
Natasha estimates that the savvier story-seller can top up their income by as much as ?5,000 per year if they appear in just one magazine or newspaper per month.
So if you are one of those people who read other peoples stories, and think ‘My story is like that (or better)’ or if people tell you that you should sell your story, then listen to them, and take action, it could make you some money!
