`18.Feb.2004` Heise Newsticker	Intel announces AMD64 compatible processor "Other way around now" seems to be the new agenda: While AMD's 32 bit x86 processors are compatible to the Intel standard the latter company has announced a 64 bit extension compatible to AMD's 64 bit technique now. Thus a good chance is given that the 64 bit desktop processors by both companies will be compatible to each other. Currently Intel keeps the 32 bit concept within this area and plans to implement the AMD extension initially to their workstation and server processor Xeon only.

`14.Feb.2004` Olaf K. (ANF)	AmigaOS4: news about the beta version Hans-Jörg Frieden of Hyperion gives in a forum contribution on amigaworld.net a short overview about the current stand of developing regarding the AmigaOS4 beta version. We have summarized the essentials for you. After the beta version had been given to the testers there had of course some minor problems to be solved. More difficulties came only from to things: for one had CD-ROM drives not reliably been recognized by the appropriate device - this problem is said to be solved in the meantime. The other problem that is still being worked on is occurs just on a little number of configurations and is described by the OS4 team as "hot air effect" - there's a slight display distortion when using a Radeon graphics card in certain display resolutions similar to movements of heated air above hot asphalt. Nevertheless does the Radeon driver work, there are hints to the reasons of this effect and they hope to solve this problem soon. Right now there's support for a bunch of ATI cards respectively for cards with ATI chips, so does the Radeon 9800 now work with the drivers developed by Forefront Technologies. In another contribution gives Hans-Jörg particular emphasis on the fact that the 3D support for Radeon cards is by now restricted to the 7xxx series. It wouldn't make sense to get a Radeon 8xxx or 9xxx because of the 3D performance, there's still a long way to go until the according drivers will be available.

`14.Feb.2004` morphzone.org (website)	Interview with the developer of "Mattathias BASIC" Michael Ness developes a new BASIC dialect that seems to be heavily inspired by AMOS. The compiler will be available (among others) for AmigaOS3, AmigaOS4, MorphOS and Windows. The first version will produce easily portable code and is therefore restricted to the creation of programs without a graphical users interface. Graphics, sound etc. will be supported later via extensions similar to the AMOS "Extensions". Under the title link you can find an interview with Michael Ness.
