Editor's Note

Welcome to another Atomic newsletter - and welcome to a pretty neat Atomic first.

We've been enjoying bringing you more geek sci-fi film and TV news than ever before, this year, and now we're proud to announce Atomic's first ever video interview - with the two stars of the latest Star Trek film! If you want to get a taste of Zach Quinto and Chris Pine (Spock and Kirk!), our interview is a good place to start.

And we've got a mess of tech, of course! There's great news for AMD's market share (I can hear the fanboys cheering from here); A competitive market is a healthy market, so we wish AMD continuing good luck.

Ashton Mills joins us with an excellent look into the more esoteric side of CPUs with an exploration of the many CPU flags and what they mean.

Finally, we take a close look at Antec's latest case - the P193 - and it makes us very curious indeed. There are some neat, and some confusing, features in this case, so don't miss our First Look and Gallery.

Plus all the usual news, reviews and top articles. Catch you next week, Atomicans!

- David Hollingworth, Editor
