Not sure where this belongs.
Newegg needs gift certificates. So go to their site and on left side toward the bottom click on "Your Ideas"
Tell them you want gift certificates. We all know most of our family is computer retarded. So its easier just
to get them to pitch in around the holidays...
Yes - I need that kind of power from my PC.
Im a mapper for BF1942. I use 3dstudio Max and Photoshop for a lot of the work. In photoshop im working with textures that are 192mb in size. Then I have multiple layers, which pushes the sizes beyond 400mb. Ever try to quickly save 400mb of anything...
Its cool in a "geeky" sense. But since process technology usually only affects things several years down the road, its not terribly important right now. Besides, we have have yet to see what SOI does for mainstream products. (ala Hammer).
Like they said, dual channel is pretty useless unless you got onboard video. The nforce boards do support dual channel (I have an Nforce2). But I bought it with future upgrades in mind like Barton, SATA and DDR400. Dont get one for the dual channel feature alone.
I post here occasionally and usually lurk every day. As such I dont have a feel for who is a guru. So I was curious who here is generally considered to know their stuff? This isnt flame bait. But I have a series of questions for someone pretty knowledgable in the ways of nerd-dom. Thanks.
I know a few folks at AMD. They dont cuss Intel or say horrific things about them (most of them anyway). In fact, I know one that bought Intel. When I called him on it, he said "they aint making a profit on what I payed for this chip". Which is true. Neither company is making money off their...
Switching allows you to set different voltages and amps. A normal PSU doesnt.
Only time I have seen switching ones used is for pelts. Pelts perform more "optimally" when you use a few volts more than the 12v supplied by a regular PSU.
(or something like that, its been a while).
Here is some interesting info.

-Partial quote sorry. The author of this quote says the Hammer will not deliver the kind of performance increase that k-6 --> Athlon delivered. Sir, your dead wrong. Hammer will deliver in performance. The real question is will they be able to make enough of them.
Second, If Hammer flops. AMD...
I think AMD will pull through with Hammer. The issue isnt whether hammer will be any good. Ill bet anyone here $100 it will spank Norhtwood and Prescott. The issue is the economy as a whole. If we are still in a recession, not many people are gonna buy CPUs anyway. You can have the best product...
make sure whatever proggie you use for MP3s has the volume turned up. Basically, go to every panel that windows has for volume and crank it up. Then go to every panel Turtle beach has and crank it all the way up. That way your amp isnt struggling to push the sound. Then just use your master...
