tech-backissues:

January 1997 brings a look ahead at exciting new technologies including the massively overhyped MMX extensions from Intel, the slow to catch on USB, the never really amounted to anything outside of a few niche markets Firewire and DVD, which had already appeared on covers from 1996. 

The importance of 3D accelerators was becoming hard to ignore, and we also got a look at a gigantic 24 inch Sony Trinitron CRT monitor that probably cost two grand, weighed 100 pounds and likely sported a maximum resolution that’d be pretty high even by today’s standards. 

Also covered was overclocking, the dark art of making your CPU run at a faster than intended speed, a review of the world’s first 200mhz notebook and a look at the new art of digital image editing.
