"Anyone know any good tech articles?"

I've recently become very interested in technical articles about consoles. I tell ya, I never get bored of them, I just soak up all the information.

So, does anyone know any technical articles I could read? Preferably about consoles and console technology but I could read PC ones.

Cheers.

Cheers FM.

You could try the 'articles' section of consolewire.com, which gives you full spec analysis of most of the internet enabled consoles currently in production, one example article is as follows:

At the heart of Xbox

The core of the XGPU itself is not only a technological marvel, but it also serves as the basis for the GeForce 3 (GF3) line of graphics products that NVIDIA released earlier this year for the PC and Macintosh. For starters, the XGPU is built using a 0.13 micron process, which is more advanced than the GF 3 with its 0.15 micron architecture. The chip itself packs over 57 million transistors, nearly 20 million more than Intel's latest line of Pentium IV processors.

Because the core of the chip is built using a 0.13-micron manufacturing process, the core clock can be set higher and lower power consumption allows for better cooling and overall stability of the chip.

The true power behind the Xbox lies not in the brute computational force of its processors, but in the successful combination of technology, innovation and creativity.

Which is the sort of thing you were looking for I think. Alternatively, just type "console technology" into www.google.com and do a google search, you'll get about 10 pages of links to associated sites that way.
