Here is the nifty thing right now, used 9800 pro's right now are being sold like hotcakes. If you watch carefully you can easily get them BELOW $150. A new GT is ~$400. A used 9800 pro is $130. Do that math and it doesn't pan out =/ Just sone old guys oppinion. My goal is to snag a 6600 GT...
Heh, you just summarized what everybody just said...to costly...way too costly. A '5' mile deep ancor! Just imagine the maintance costs if just '1' broke. Eep!
Lets say they could put '1' anchor in for a $1million. At a minimum of 10 anchors per section and 50000 anchors is a trivial 0.55...
Ahh...finally got it. Also, explainable then. The smaller part geometries (130 nm, 90 nm) etc mean smaller barriers to stop electron leakage (also known as leakage currents). The smaller the geometry, the less tolerant the parts are to overvoltages. If he cranked is Vcore up too "high" he...
Simple Ohms Law
Power = Voltage * Current. Since the system is digital, the currents will be approximately the same (assuming frequency is the same). Therefore by increasing the voltage you just increased the power dissipation. End of story...
The main reason why 60 Hz was chosen by Tesla has little to do with science. The biggest theory, and most widly adopted, is that Tesla believe that 60 Hz was the "Fundamental Frequency of the Universe".
Some other information that may be of use.
Orignally Westinghouse wanted 133 Hz because of...
I believe you are incorrect; 50 and 70 Hz are more dangerous. From what I have read over the years and can validate from phyiscs.about.com:
1890?s: Edison, seeking to discredit AC power, to the benefit of his DC power system, employed an engineer, named Harold Brown to tour the country. In the...
KR:
I would like to correct you on your defination of decoupling capacitors (I design motherboards for airplanes as part of job).
There are three uses for capacitors in any circuit: bulk, filter, decoupling.
Bulk: Generally a larger type cap 1uF or greater. Designed to provide quick current...
Will the old AMD 100 MHz FSB proc be compatible with the new 133 MHz FSB boards. IE. Can you turn down the FSB to 100 MHz until you decide to shell out the cash for the new 1.5 GHz procs?
I've been stuck in the antarctic for the past 2 months (yes it really is that cold) and just got back to...
If the board was built correctly and your peripherals were built correctly (i.e the guy who did the design actually implemented common sense instead of trying to save $) it shouldn't break. This is the way it was only a few years ago.
In this day and age every possible short cut is made to...
Umm...what is true performance? Yeah, engines can have 500HP, but without a good transmission, what is the point????? Nobody can say jack s*#t about the p4 yet because it isn't in full release yet.
Let's see what the p4 does about 6 months after official release in overall performance and...
