Part of the old mythology centering around not turning off the computer was the somewhat unreliable power supplies of the mid-90s - during the AT form factor days (before ATX)
Nowadays the power supply doesn't actually turn 100% off when the computer powers down. . .and they're much more...
Thank you Anand. That was all I was asking for - just a bit of reassurance that you were doing everything you could do to be objective. when something looks too good to be true. . .it often is! LOL
Great followup.
It would be overall cost vs. performance of system. I run over 200 Intel comps and about 10 AMD systems so I'm no fanboy - I just want performance per dollar, thanks.
I don't post here often (I run and post regularly on plenty of other boards. . .I just lurk here! :lol: ) but I have to say that Anand's latest "benchmark" article was the first that I've been disappointed with.
Using an Intel blackbox and an Intel provided AMD blackbox to provide benchmarks...
I prefer to keep my primary video on its own card, even if it has dual capabilities. Some have noticed no difference in performance, I have noticed some slowdown when I've dual'ed off my primary card so I dual on my secondary card (I run three monitors) and leave my primary as solo.
nVidia does...
I also don't think that it would be only for workstations.
Several forums, including Ars Technica and several gaming ones that I frequent, show the use of multiple monitors gaining popularity - shoot, I use three both at work and at home.
But I DON'T want to split my primary vid card...
Yes, sorry, I forgot the E. . .
I know it's Serial and point to point - which is why it should be possible to do, but then it's theoretically possible to have two AGP slots, but nobody does it.
But wouldn't it be NICE to have TWO 8GB-bandwidth graphics slots?
(and I haven't heard anyone...
Was wondering if anyone had heard any rumors/thought of anyone who might possibly even consider putting multiple PCIx-16 slots in? I run 3 monitors now at work and 2 at home with my primary always alone. . .with AGP going to PCI Express-16, it would be nice, neh?
