    Article about PSUs, SLi, and Crossfire

    http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1932958,00.asp Explains exactly why some PSUs can handle it (aside from quality), and some can't. Was happy to see my S12-600 passed all tests (it's now supporting 7 HDs and 1 optical, with a pair of 512MB GTXs and a FX57 without a hitch). Read...

    High End RAM Query

    So, I haven't been paying much attention to RAM as of late, but I'm ready to swap out my G.Skill (F1-3200DSU2-1GBLE) sticks for something larger, but that performs just as well. I see no reason to fill all 4 slots with 512MB sticks, so I'm just going to transition to 1GB sticks. The sticks...

    SLi Notebook

    DT Keep in mind that this is meant as a DTR (@ 14lbs, who's gonna lug this thing around?), but damn...that's some notebook. :)

    SLi Notebooks

    Eurocom's monster While not exactly portable (ok, so it'd be a workout if you had to carry this thing around), if you absolutely want a DTR, I suppose this would be a pretty solid choice. :)

    X1900XTX vs 512MB GTX

    Now that I have both cards, I'd like to present a straightforward, benchmark only (well, maybe some personal opinions based on what I see) type of thread, and have the Video folks actually request what they'd like to see. I will be using the box in the sig, with the FX57 at stock speeds, and...

    Interesting article on the direction of memory

    512MB GTX SLi Results Thread

    This thread is simply to provide some personal results (not some hardware site) with these cards. Tested system is in the sig (except all tests were run with the FX57 at stock speeds). If you feel the need to flame, just don't post. BTW, if you want me to run any benchmarks not listed here...

    3DMark2k6 is up on GameSpot

    http://www.gamespot.com/promos/2006/3dmark06/index.html I'm 'presuming' you can download it there, but I'm not going to pay for an account to find out. ;) Anyone have an account with GameSpot to find out if it's hiding there or not? --- Thanks for the post. Please see the thread on...

    7800 Go GTX has arrived

    The installation took maybe 15 minutes (you pretty much have to take the top half of the laptop apart in order to swap cards). I've spent some time today doing some benchmarks (purely synthetic right now), and these are the scores I currently have. I'm going to start working on creating...

    For you X1k owners

    And a couple others, actually. Might want to check these out. ATI Demos of Pantheon, Toy Shop and The Assasin Note that as of right now, if you don't have a X1k card, this is the error you'll get: Demo error

    ATi slips with the X1800XL AIW

    It would appear that the launch date has fallen back to the 21st of November, rather than it's originally anticipated date of November 14th (the same day as the 512MB GTX release). Source: Undisclosed. Small bit of bad news for those of you interested in the product (which I imagine is...

    7800 GTX Go

    I'm keeping in constant contact with Dell about this card and it's availability for the XPS Gen2. As of yesterday, it's still not available, but as soon as it is, those of you who have these laptops may want to know. :) I've heard the pricing is going to be similar for the desktop variant as...

    WU Evaluation times

    So, I went through about 25 of my crunchers, pulled the SetiSpy logs, and started filtering. I removed all WU that didn't show 100% complete (which bugs me, because with the 25 or so logs that I pulled, there were a LOT of WU that weren't 100%...~6-7k, I'd say), then did an average of the WU...

    PCMark2k5 Comparison

    I realize that in part, the playing field isn't even with the boxes I have here, but I wanted to show, in part, the way things were compared to now, and to compare at least somewhat current technology as well. The results are ONLY the Multithreaded based ones that PCMark2k5 runs, as to...

    An email I got

    seti Wayne Ford [waynekford@hotmail.com] To: My S@H account email. Hi, I share your interest in SETI. I'm writing to ask that you consider moving over to the boinc seti project now, before classic seti is shut down. It would help both projects immensely by freeing up computer and network...

    CPU Throttling in Vista

    Is anyone seeing CPU throttling with Vista? My CPU runs as if CnQ is enabled, regardless of whether it is or not (I'm running the latest available CPU driver from AMD as of this morning, but the throttling was happening before and after). Basically, if my CPU isn't under load, Vista drops the...
