It is believed that anyone who complies will be excluded from any future legal action by the RIAA.

But the decision will not apply to those already facing legal action, which could begin as early as next week, according to a report from Reuters.

The RIAA has admitted that it is unlikely to take to court all 1,600 people accused of illegally uploading music files from sites such as Kazaa and Morpheus.

But it has warned that those it does take to court will have to take their chances before the judge.

Meanwhile, others in the music industry are also adopting a less combative stance to P2P sites, following the decline in music sales.

Universal Music is cutting the wholesale price of many CDs in the US from $12.02 to $9.09.

It also plans to shelve advertising discounts and has dropped its recommended retail price to $12.98 from $18.98, hoping that retailers will be persuaded to drop the price to below $10.

Sony has also joined the growing market for services that allow consumers to download music legally, putting itself in direct competition with Apple and Microsoft.

The new service will be launched in Japan, with the US and Europe to follow next spring. Sony said that it will also ship a handheld device on to which the songs can be downloaded.

What's so special about this version? Does it actually support up to date games? If not then what's the use.

Ooooh....

I feel all nostalgic now... My dear 3Dfx Voodoo 5 5500 128mb... The sweet mercy of Glide and efficient anti aliasing... *tears overflowing* Two GPUs and requiring a full size case to fit in, plus external power...

I seriously miss Glide. Unreal and Unreal tourney never where the same when I had to switch to OpenGL, the lights and color always seemed more dull...

Um..... that's why you use Direct3D. Glide was a very good API until 3Dfx decided not to update it for 32 bit.

I still have my two Voodoo 2 cards installed alongside my Radeon 8500. That way I can play my old glide games and the latest stuff. That's the trouble with the Voodoo 3 and later.

They made a bad decision in there company and they were beat out by nvidia and nvidia bought out there competors when they saw the opportunity... Which was smart b/c the next gen of cards was going to to compete with GF3

I still have my V3 2000 in my server, I loved that card, I could really notice the jaggies when I went from that to my GF3. A real shame I did love that card tho, but it's good enough for my rack machine and that's about it.
