Nvidia to launch nForce 4 SLI for Intel systems in April.

Following the first public presentation at the Intel Developer Forum last week, Nvidia previewed its nForce 4 chipset for Intel PCs also at CeBit. According to a company statement the SLI-capable chipset is scheduled for release in April and will allow system builders to create "new enthusiast PCs". Nvidia said its SLI will remain a high-performance solution to integrate dual graphics cards within on PC, even when Intel will introduce its own dual-graphics support with the upcoming 955X chipset for the dual-core Pentium Extreme Edition. There are no details on Intel"s dual x16 integration available yet, but according to the company, it will require a third party "bridge" chip to enable the technology. We would not be surprised, if this bridge chip will be supplied by Nvidia in the framework of the recently announced cross-licensing agreement between the two firms. (THG)

Analysis: Sony BMG copy protection may be stealthy, but is it a "rootkit?".
Austin (TX) - When security software engineer Mark Russinovich was testing last week one of his programs called RootkitRevealer, on a system he normally expects to be free of malicious code, he noticed that it revealed a hidden directory, and several hidden files. Inside were what appeared to be device drivers, with .SYS and .DLL extensions, and one hidden executable .EXE file. These weren"t hidden by the normal means - for instance, setting the old DOS "Hidden" attribute - but by cleverly diverting system calls used to identify themselves to Windows.
