No, the extra memory doesn't make any difference. Chances are a card with 256MB will be slower than the 128MB version at anything but the highest resolutions, but either way the differences are minute. Some newer games might take advantage of the extra 128MB some, but like I said, the...

New machine will be for gaming and some CAD (Solid Edge). At first, I zeroed in on the A64s real quick. Now I'm not so sure. FYI, if I went A64 I'd be going 2800+ - 3200+, probably OC if one of the lower 2. Really, the 64 bit capability isn't worth much of anything right now, it is just a...

What kind of price increases should I be expecting for socket 939 CPUs and mobos?

Papst, Panaflo, and Vantec Stealth are all nicely quiet, and near silent if you 7v them.

My TrueBlue 480 just came in today.

Sorry for a 2nd highjack, but is 939 supposed to come out the same time as 775? Thanks.

This takes me back to the late Doom/early Quake days...I loved every minute of it. The last level...is just wow! One of the coolest FPS levels of all time IMO. Tons of baddies in the game. Some very cool stuff in it, still took some clever play, and all the levels were laid out very nicely...

I think PC Power and Cooling does a 650W, and OCZ is coming with a 620W supply soon too.

On alot of places (not necessarily here) people are bitching about the numbers, but colour me impressed. It IS faster, and likely similar prices as 9800XT, or, as has been rumoured, lower prices, a $399 USD starting price for the Ultra model. (I don't know whether the numbers in the leaked...

Thank you.

I know this will probably get swamped when the nda GOES...AWAY (NOW!!!)... ...but, as the title says, how much after the video card is released do we normally start to see the variants from Asus, Albatron, etc. etc.

@ XRAYSPEX Quake 4 is being developed by Raven software (SOF series) with the help of iD...to arrive late '04/early '05 probably. Based again on the human - strogg war (I'd personally love to see the Quake 1 theme again though).

I'm not sure what would be the best... I can have lexan for free, I'd think that would be suitable. (And yes, I did try the FAQ/Search first, thank you)

I'm thinking/hoping the release coincides with QuakeCon - August.

I read that this is to be included on the R5xx, possibly R4xx cards. What exactly is it? Thanks.
