    Wii U horsepower

    The system is well understood to be dramatically weaker than PS4 and Xbox One but I am curious if anyone thinks it would be possible, from a thermal perspective, for Nintendo to some day publish a firmware update that alters the clock settings of the processor. If it is determined that all of...

    Might a firmware update save me?

    I have a Panasonic TH-50PX80U. Today I was trying to get it to play ball with a PS3 that has a damaged HDMI port. A different tv would acknowledge input from the PS3 but the Panasonic wouldn't. Eventually, the Panasonic stopped responding to any device input to any of its HDMI ports...

    An experiment with the powerful, state of the art AMD K5

    Let's say one took an AMD K5 133, put it in a motherboard that could take 768MB of PC100, gave it a 500 GB HDD that operated on UDMA 66, and say an AGP version of something like a GeForce 2 or 3. Could such a computer be made to run windows 8? Mostly for the lulz? I know Win8 sys requirements...

    is it responsible to let the mentally ill revel in their illness?

    I don't post often but I do lurk lots. I suppose this might get me my first ban, but hopefully not a permaban. It might also be suited better for forum issues. Anyways, this anarchist420 guy is admittedly mentally ill. He has outright delusions and seriously has a tenuous grasp on reality. He...

    Clearwire too good to be true?

    Where I live now I cant get DSL, FIOS, or any decent internet, but I am in, at worst, a Sprint CDMA 3G area. Clearwire offers unlimited, no throttle, at whatever their 4G is capable of, for $49.99 a month. My first question is, is their 4G WIMAX or LTE? Secondly, I don't live in a...

    Does android use graphic hardware acceleration?

    Does Android really use the hardware acceleration of something like the Tegra? From a horsepower standpoint is a mytouch 4g slide with dual core 1.2ghz and adreno 205 really faster than the g2x? Does Android really even care about the "GPU" or does it just render everything in...

    Zune thinks its full, i'm not convinced it is

    So I'm pretty sure I copied absolutely everything from this 30 gb zune, which totals about 5GB. The zune thinks it's full though, and I'm pretty sure a lot of it's capacity is in some dumbass category titled "space for other computers" or something. Any idea how to fix that?

    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600

    How weak is this card for gaming purposes? I'm looking at an MSI laptop with this for $699 or a Acer with an ATI 3650 for $799. Is the ATI 3650 far superior to the 2600? Enough to justify $100 price difference? The most demanding things I would ever do are Red Alert 3 and SC2 when it comes...

    A question for catholics.

    So from my intense study of theology via wikipedia, it's my understanding that if you're a moderate sinner as opposed to deadly sinner, you go to purgatory right? Since I'm a homo, yet somewhat not a fan of the heat, I'd rather not burn in hell. Is homosexuality a deadly sin or a slap on...
