    Core duo 1.6 or 1.8ghz?

    G'day guys. A friend of mine is about to buy a Dell, and can't decide whether he should spend the extra $144 to get the 1.8ghz intel core duo in his notebook, or just opt for the 1.6ghz... Is there much difference for it to be noticeable? Are there some benchmarks comparing the two? Thanks!

    Give the mass in grams of estrogen (MW 270) required to make 190 mL of a 26 mM solution?

    Yeah, it's certainly odd. Thanks to Fenixgoon too for the help in making it easy :)

    Give the mass in grams of estrogen (MW 270) required to make 190 mL of a 26 mM solution?

    I got 1.3338, and so to be correct, changed it to 0.00134, and it was correct. What was the reason for the conversion? I already used .026mols/litre (converting from micromolar). Also, I'm an Aussie. One who hasn[t done all these silly calculations since highschool, 4 years ago. :)

    Give the mass in grams of estrogen (MW 270) required to make 190 mL of a 26 mM solution?

    Hmm, strangely, this doesn't give the answer they have. i.e. .001 +- 2% error ...but to five decimal places? So um...

    Give the mass in grams of estrogen (MW 270) required to make 190 mL of a 26 mM solution?

    Thanks! I'll try it myself now. Thanks heaps though! It's a biochem. course- just basic calculation revision (but I didn't do the course we're revising calculations from, haha).

    Give the mass in grams of estrogen (MW 270) required to make 190 mL of a 26 mM solution?

    Haha, thanks. That answer is oddly enough, no good. I've got no examples in the textbook that appear like this question. I had one question that was similar (" How many grams of sodium chloride (MW 58) are there in 32 mL of a 0.15 M solution? Give the answer to two decimal places."), and...

    G'day guys. I'n trying to do this stupid review, and the textbook only has answers answers, so my question is this: Give the mass in grams of estrogen (MW 270) required to make 190 mL of a 26 mM solution. Give the answer to five decimal places. Correct Answer: Correct 0.001 ± 2% How...

    G'day guys. I'm looking for some kind of program that lets me type on top of pdf files and saves what I've typed. I ask this so I can type on top of lecture notes during lecture classes ...? Thanks!

    X2 3800 vs. 4000+ single core - heavy gaming.

    Faster video card? Like what? The 7800GTX EXtreme has been doing pretty well (by pretty well, I mean topping the benchmarks in non-SLI mode usually).

    X2 3800 vs. 4000+ single core - heavy gaming.

    Ah yes- I heard that the drivers are good. For both the video card (Nvidia) and the X2 :) And even Windows has a hot patch. Nice. I'm glad I went this. I'll report back on Saturday when I build and test it for my mate :)

    X2 3800 vs. 4000+ single core - heavy gaming.

    So how come the 4000+ is slightly ahead of the 3800 x2 in most benchmarks of games? Is there a more technical explanation as to why the dual core will perform faster even though none of the games are written with multiple threads, etc? and yeah, I have heard that the 3800 o/cs quite well :P...

    X2 3800 vs. 4000+ single core - heavy gaming.

    Thanks for the reply. I know the gfx card is the factor for gaming, and the CPU doesn't these days play into it as much (since they are so fast!), but I wanted to make a wise decision. I am leaning towards the 4000+ mostly for the higher clockspeed and cache, but the 3800 x2 can be o/c and can...

    X2 3800 vs. 4000+ single core - heavy gaming.

    Hey guys. Sorry about this if it's been answered before. I did google it and got a few mixed responses, but thought a bunch of you at Anandtech would know more. I'm about to buy my mate a new system, and he rarely does anything resource-heavy besides lots and lots of gaming (all the latest...

    Riddle. . .What can you put in a bucket that makes it lighter? Don't click into the thread till you want the answer

    He picked up on it because it wasn't solving the problem- there's a very large difference. Why are people so poor at grammar? But again, 'putting' a hole in a bucket is simply putting empty space into a bucket, and hence, does not solve the problem of making it lighter.

    Case for Beast System?

    Oh, nice monitor. For games, but since he doesn't want to upgrade for another 3+ years, this is the best way to go, in having a beast now, and again later. Prob. get the 4200 and if need be, clock to 2.7ghz. But I was thinking probably 580w, just to be safe. The 4200 at 2.7 seemed to come...

    Poll on abortion in case of 12 year old girl

    You're assuming that my previous statement in itself assumes acceptability of abortion- it doesn't- it merely negates your stance that it's solely the woman's decision- it's a two part-clause. It doesn't agree with your argument, it disagrees, and leaves the second part to the following...
