    Damn Ahnold Schwarrzenennenggger mistress is UGLY!!

    yo, she is one fat ugly chicana! I don't even think the homies in prison would do her without some serious dose of weed to numb the mind! Homies must laughing hard. Damn the Terminator just got terminated by a fat woman. I can't be the only one who finds great comedy in this. Apparently...

    The hipocracy of American democracy

    If you haven't lived under a rock, you would know that many parts of Mideast are going through revolutions, revolutions against despot leaders that the US are friend with or have befriend with. That's right, the US support the dictator Mubarak for the past 30 years, restored relation with...

    ok my video stutter with the gtx460

    stutter when playing video .iso files. Some movies worse than others; a few movies don't stutter. The stuttering occurs in PowerDVD and Video Lan player. It stutters with or without hardware acceleration. This doesn't seem to happen if I replace the gtx460 with the 6850. I didn't get this...

    what of the "superduper" chip joining multiple GPU's?

    I forget the name but was there a chip that was supposed to be able to join multiple GPU's together like SLI or CF except that this chip could do it to different GPUs! I beleive MSI has such chip in some motherboard? I was hopping to hear some more about this. Is this a dead notion now? I...

    Asus 6850 fan barely spins up! (Bios flash possible?)

    The reason I'm asking is because the fan profile for the Asus 6850 is too SLOW! In gaming it is ok. But in Furmark, the card crashes out after 30 minutes (as I watch the temp rise and the fan barely spining up from about 1650 rpm to 1750 rpm, wtf Asus!). So I checked the current Asus Bios ans...

    28" HannsG LCD is suprisingly good looking!

    Today I went to Microcenter to browse around. So I saw the 28" HannsG LCD (1920x1200) sitting right next to the 27" Dell U2177 (2560x1440). Hanns was $249. Dell was over $1000. Just looking at the price difference alone, everybody's mother knows one has to be IPS and one TN based. Anyway, I...

    What is the best HDCP low-profile card?

    I'm looking for a low profile HDCP card for my slim case HDCP PC. I most prefer a passive cooling solution. Don't care about gaming. Is the AMD HD5450 512 MB DDR2 a good choice? And if so, is this one a good buy? http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeo...1234723&sr=8-2 Need a straight...

    Intel and Nvidia warming up to each other again??

    http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2010/12/01/intel-needs-nvidia-again.aspx It appears that the 2 will settle. Intel may get some graphics help from NV, and NV to get back in the chipset business. Interesting times ahead for consumers!

    Nvidia wins $25M defense research grant

    this is interesting to me http://sanjose.bizjournals.com/sanjose/stories/2010/08/09/daily14.html?ana=yfcpc I like how NV is involving themselves with the research and academic research universities. It's like free R&D for all practical purposes. I'm sure by working with other high talents in...

    Anyone has a Dell 2408WFP with the flashing (going into standy mode) issue?

    Apparently this model (whether version A00, A01, A02) has this huge issue. With some video cards the issue exist, others vid cards are fine. The crux of the issue is that the Dell is programed to go into into power saving mode if it does not detect a video signal with a period of 150 ms. A...

    So why did people conquered and oppressed by Christianity became devout Christians?

    I have a hard time grasping this syndrome. For example, blacks in America and Africa were once oppressed by Christians. Yet blacks in America today pray to Jesus like no tomorrow. Filipinos and South Americans were oppressed by the Spanish Christians in the name of the Father, yet these...

    Now that AMD vs Intel and what it means for NV?

    in case you have heard, Intel has agreed to pay $1.25B to settle all legal disputes with AMD. Part of the case was AMD accusing Intel of using strong arm tactics to pressure system builders from using AMD chips. Now that they are successful against suing Intel, I gotta think somewhere in the...

    CrossFire 4890 on an Intel P35 chipset?

    I have an Asus P5k that has the intel P35 chipset. It has 2 PCIE slots but the second one is limited to 4x. Right now I'm running one ATI 4890, and I'm thinking of possibly crossfire with another 4890, but I'm thinking that the P35 chipset will greatly limit the 2nd 4890. Am I correct in my...

    Anyone uses a Dell Ultrasharp 2408 LCD?

    I've had enough of the 24" TN panels. I bought 2 of them during this BF week, one a Samsung and an LG, and after a few hours, I returned them both. The color shift was just unbearable to me. Anyway I'm wanting a better panel now. I guess my choices are either the S-PVA (or MVA) or the more...

    if AMD stock dips below the $1B market cap mark, would you be concerned?

    I think I will be. And judging on how bad Dell is doing, I think 2009 will see more pain for tech stock in general. I personally think AMD will drop further, and it's gonna be hard to find additional money like from some rich Saudi prince. It's unfortunate the politicians don't consider most...

    Is there any retail m/b that has 2 full pcie 16x and pcie 8x?

    The only m/b I've seen with this combo is a high end Dell Dimension workstation with such configuration. Chipset Dell is using is Intel X38. But I've seen no offers from the retail m/b makers such as Asus, Abit, etc. I want to run a RAID controller that requires an 8x pcie slot.

    NV to pay $25M to Transmeta for licenses

    http://sanjose.bizjournals.com...daily70.html?ana=yfcpc A technology that NV licenses http://www.transmeta.com/tech/longrun2.html A bit intriguing. There was a time when Transmeta made low power laptops (saw them at Fry's) but they didn't last long against Intel. I thought Transmeta...

    finally had to exchange my 4850!

    as some of you might know, i have an ongoing saga with the 4850 last night, while gaming in A. Creed, the game froze (didn't crash out of the game complete, just froze). Before freezing, I did notice that the fan was NOT running as high as it should be, but it would intermittedly kick in at...

    who regrets buying a 4850?

    I got rid of my 8800GT 512MB to jump on the 4850 bandwagon when Best Buy had it for $150 without rebate. So Ebayed off the 8800GT, and in went the 4850. Let's see. First there was the high temperature issue, with my 4850 hiting as high as 93-95C when my ambient room temp is 92F, causing...

    4850 crashes Assassin's Creed?

    OK I'm experiencing crashes here. Anyone experiencing game crashes from the 4850 in general? I don't think my crash is related to temperature this time around, because temp reading was "only" 80C at the time of the crash. (Before, Assassin's would crash out at random points when my 4850...

    ATI 4850 TEMPERATURE discussion

    How to underclock or throttle down the Q6600?

    I have the Q6600 & Asus P5k mb combo. I've been trying to find for a way to underclock or throttle down the CPU when I'm not gaming, and I would like to do this on the fly (not having to reboot). Asus has a software tool that you can use to adjust the CPU clock, but it requires a reboot...

    Where to connect power supply "fan sensor" to m/b?

    I have the Asus P5k mobo. I just bought an Antec Truepower Trio 430W power supply that also has a 3-pin fan sensor. I take it that this sensor is supposed to tell me the speed of the power supply fan? So where do I plug this 3-pin sensor into my mobo? Do I plug into the 3-pin "fan_pwr"...
