    I'd say that can qualify. There are many IT ogranizations that are using more and more of that type of skill set.

    Oppo DV-981HD Upconverting DVD Player 229.00

    The price for what you are getting is a very good deal. This upconverting DVD player is more than just a $80 progressive scan DVD unit that outputs HDMI. The Upconverting processor in the DVD player has the best picture quality you can get for under $800. This unit makes any DVD look sharper...

    War on Christianity

    There are a lot of extremes these days on both sides of the Church vs. State issue. Atheists are pushing to get religion out of every facet of public life and there are just as many people of religion pushing to get it back in. As if trying to invent some grandfather clause that since it was...

    Why can't GPU/VPU's get to 1 GHz?

    Mostly it's due to the architecture and the transistor count. They are on the same or lower manufacturing process as cpu's but it's not the primary objective to have fast chips, instead they need alot of bandwidth. Also there are alot of parallel pipelines for executing multiple instructions at...

    New card

    I'd go with that card You feel is more future proofed. They might release a new version of the game. The 9800 Pro would be my choice but I wouldn't pay anymore then 175.00 USD. FS/FT and Egay are good places to look for deals.

    Is it me or is [H]ardOCP an ATI Fanboy site !!!!

    Ummm...OK Most of what you said is baseless. If any Card is being used to 100% it's capacity in "most" all 3d apps. Then how can nVidia and ATi possibly optimize anything for their drivers? They couldn't. There would be no room for Performance increases. Period. Since driver releases...

    Is it me or is [H]ardOCP an ATI Fanboy site !!!!

    What is most bothersome about this whole debate is that nVidia only has 1 feature to hold over ATi SM3.0 and even then from the tech descriptions it's not a big advance over SM2.0 only a more optimized path to take less of a performance hit. So your basing your purchase decision on one feature...
