    F@H GPU Client 2 - It's here!

    You beat me to it here LOL! My 2900XT is already folding away. Don't forget to force 3D clocks with ATITool 0.27 Beta 4. The PPD is decent and this should pair very nicely with an overclocked quad core. I'm running both the GPU and SMP clients simultaneously on my old Opteron 185 to see how my...

    AMD 64 x2 .... 64-bit?

    Who the hell told you AMD64 CPU's are not real 64bit processors?!?!?! That was a blatant lie. AMD was the FIRST REAL 64bit processor. I've been running WinXP x64 fine for 20 months now, first on my 4200+ and now on my Opteron 185. They perform superbly in a 64bit environment.

    Opteron 185 overclocking voltages and FSB?

    Nice overclock with the stock voltages. I'll see what I can push along those lines. Really I'm asking all of this to see if anybody knows the optimal voltage for a 3.2Ghz overclock. The Opteron has a much different voltage window than my old X2 4200+. Too little voltage and it wont boot, too...

    what is the best 939 PCIE motherbaord?

    Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe or DFI NF4 SLI-DR Expert UT or similar. Honestly I don't know how many good s939 boards you can find anymore. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813131568 Theres one.

    which opteron to buy?

    Having a higher Opty makes OC'ing easier. Your 165 has like a 9x multiplier. My 185 has a 13x multiplier. I don't have to screw with my FSB a lot to get clocks out of it like you do. Playing with the FSB and getting your ram and fsb out of sync increases latency enough to notice if you're...

    AMD shares fall on report of chip (Barcelona) delay

    Damn! 1 year ago AMD was at $29.35. Their shares are less than half the value as before. The Core 2 Duo and all these delays have put a hurting on their prices. We can only hope and pray they don't go out of business before they show us some great tech. I personally want to see Torrenza and...

    Opteron 185 overclocking voltages and FSB?

    Did i leave any info out? PS: I bought a Vigor MonsoonII Thermal Electric cooler that I have yet to install. It requires taking the mobo out and mounting all this silliness to help handle it's enormous weight. Anyways I've yet to try OC'ing with it and I'm currently just running a big ass...

    Opteron 185 overclocking voltages and FSB?

    I just bought an Opty 185 to keep my s939 system alive until 2008. I currently have it @ 2875mhz(250x11.5) on a 250mhz FSB and 1.35vcore. I have DDR500 ram that operates natively at 250fsb which is why I've chosen that speed to start clocking at. My ultimate goal is a clock over 3.0GHZ (trying...

    which opteron to buy?

    buy the highest Opteron you can afford if you're going to get one. Also be sure you have a good cooler. I just got an Opty 185 with a Vigor MonsoonII Thermal Electric cooler. I have my 185 @ 2875mhz with a 250fsb and stock voltage without even installing the new cooler yet. I'm hoping to get...

    FIRST OFFICIAL DX10 GAME DEMO OUT

    What I was trying to say is that you cannot play a DX10 game on a DX9 card. Youre just adding the fact that if the DX10 game has a DX9 version then of course it can be played on a DX9 card. DX10 only software doesnt work on DX9 hardware though.

    FIRST OFFICIAL DX10 GAME DEMO OUT

    Sorry bro. You cant play DX10 games with any DX9 cards. Youll need an 8xxx series Nvidia for 2000 series ATI card for the DX10 version.
