    Death to Intel... and AMD?

    Well guys, I'm not sure how the Cell processor will pan out but I hope it is as good as stated. From all that I've read it looks like there are some huge players involved with this processor, and these players have been around for a long time. I see no reason why they can't pull it off. Sony...

    Best deal for overclocking AMD system

    Hi guys, I'm doing some bargain hunting. I was tempted to buy the latest Nforce4 motherboards but by the time I actually take advantage of their power something else will be out that is better. The way I figure it is that if I'm not ready to dish out the money now for 2 PCI-e Ultras then...

    Inverted Pendulum, Automation

    It sounds like you are dealing with a hyperbola equation. Gravity of course will be the key factor in how to calculate push intervals to create enough momentum to bring the arm into a perpendicular position to the ground. Perpendicular up or down require zero energy. The key is to figure out...

    Can you get the answer to a really hard math problem?

    Math...I love it but it is to damn simple. English...now there is something a bit harder to predict. Unless you study the emotional and reactional factors....never mind....did I say I love math ;) Dish out a question about quantum theories and relativity. Love debating! Math is a chain...

    How much will the Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard cost?

    I believe MSI, ASUS and Gigabyte will have SLI by mid December or sooner. Cost anywhere around 200 dollars. I don't mind dishing out the bucks for the SLI motherboards. I think for the extra 50 bucks its worth having a great upgrade option. The option for SATA II and the firewall protection...

    AGP Support on new Nforce4 motherboards?

    Hi guys, My budget for a new computer allows me to buy everything except a video card. That will have to wait for a few months. I'm upgrading from a 9700AIW pro and want to make sure I get a wicked card, probably two Ultras (ouch in the pocket). Does anyone know if I can use my old AGP...

    MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum, Nvidia 6800 Ultra PCIe, SATA 2 HD. Anyone know when if these are available.

    This is great info guys. Thanks!! I'm a bit concerned about buying the power supply now :) I'm blowing a bit of money on this setup but its worth it. I probably spend 80% of my awake hours by a computer so I may as well get something good. Cheers.

    6800nu odd hiss

    This may sound wierd but it could be interference with your sound card or on board chip or your speakers. I had a strange sound once like that and it was the frequency from my video card interfering with my sound card/speakers. I'm not sure what on the card was doing it but I think it was the...

    LCD Monitors....are we being scamed? Stick with CRT?

    Why ban these posts? There is nothing more informative than hearing a good chanter about opposing ideas. I love the responses that I have read in this post and I see some areas that someone would like to have a LCD over a CRT. My concern is that people are subjected to believing LCDs are...

    LCD Monitors....are we being scamed? Stick with CRT?

    Well you said it right there didn't you? If a higher standard is used for doing graphic work why would you settle for a lower standard LCD?? Grass always greener on the otherside? I can pick any side I wish, I just choose to pick the one that is best. This isn't just a shot in the dark...I...

    LCD Monitors....are we being scamed? Stick with CRT?

    I hear ya! I can't understand how someone would pay so much for a LCD when they can pay way less for a CRT that will outperform it without a problem. I don't have to name any brands because this doesn't apply to only a few LCDs, it applies to them all. We are for the most part talking about...

    LCD Monitors....are we being scamed? Stick with CRT?

    I'm taking a 3d Artist class during the day and working at a computer store by night. My experience working with LCD monitors (top of the line ones) is really bad. They don't compare at all to CRT monitors for speed or for visual quality. I have to ask, are we being scamed here? Sure they...

    Nforce4 Motherboards - I have a few questions

    Hey guys. :) Could someone point me to a place that sells SATA2 drives. Will they perform much better than the Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10,000RPM SATA? Off topic here is the pretty motherboard I like that supports SATA2. Does anyone know if the the new Motherboards will require a...

    SLI with 2 types of cards...

    I think I will stick with the VIA chipset motherboards using the K8T890 Pro or the ATI solution coming out soon. They use SLI and I don't think it matters which video cards you use (ATI SLI :). I'm not sure if they have to be the same or not. It looks promising though. The rumor mill has it ATI...

    PCI Express Motherboards for AMD

    This is some of what the VIA K8T890 will be supporting: Looks pretty good. Plus I don't think you are limited to only using Nvidia cards in SLI mode. Rumor is ATI is coming out with this option for their cards. :) I can't wait to see what kind of motherboards come from the Nforce4 and VIA...

    Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone has any information on the upcoming AMD motherboards that have PCI Express and a few other goodies :) This link K8T890 from VIA, has some information on it and it sounds awesome. The VIA chipset might even support SLI with ATI cards...drool. I haven't...

    What Memory to Use?

    Hi guys :) I'm purchasing an Athlon 64 3500+ CPU and a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Motherboard. Generic Dual Channel memory seems to be reasonably priced but when you go to performance memory the $dollars$ begin to increase fast. My question is: Should I buy Generic/non performance Dual...

    AMD or INTEL

    Wow awsome information here guys! I choose the handle IKnowNothing because it seems the more I study something... the less I know about it :) I agree that as far as games go both CPU's are wicked. As far as rendering goes I mainly render stills for clients which at the most take 25 mins to...

    6600 vs. X700

    I think ATI missed their mark with the X700 which surprises me. SLI 6600 GT's will be sweet!!!

    AMD or INTEL

    I have been leaning towards the Athlon 64 for a few reasons. There may be a 64bit OS in the near future (fingers crossed) and some programs I use will probably provide 64bit instruction upgrades to take advantage of this. I also love my games so AMD is looking pretty good right now. At the...

    AMD or INTEL

    Hey guys, I need to purchase a new CPU, Motherboard and Memory. I probably won't be overclocking because I can't risk loosing work time if things ah heck up. I understand dual systems are probably best for the render part but can't justify the cost at the moment. This is what I will buy if...
