    Good non-biased read on Intels new cpus

    Thanks for the props on the find, I have been going to OC for a while and find there stuff to be pretty good. Do i think they are fanboys of either? No, seems to me that they tell it like it is, or at least how they see it. Funny thing, they seem to be very good at predicting what the cpu...

    Intel 5x faster per watt.

    if you look at any of the rest of the articles on overclockers you will see they are not fanboys, they bash AMD on there just as much as they do intel. They are not brainwashed biggots such as yourself, do us all a favor, restart in dos mode, type format C: and never come back here again.

    Intel 5x faster per watt.

    From the estimates and guesstimates floating about, on the desktop, these chips may be able to run 20% faster than current overclocked Dothans. Unfortunately for Intel, that's not likely to get them significantly faster than current Hammers, much less future 65nm versions. from overclockers...

    Intel 5x faster per watt.

    i wonder what Intelia will say in 2H 06 when Cell hits the PC market and OWNS EVERYTHING (Inserts laugh here) It amazes me that she thinks she is coming to the table with all the facts. Its no ones suprise that right now amd has the price/performance margin right now and have held the lead for...

    Intel 5x faster per watt.

    what cracks me up is how the guy is saying its going to be 5x faster per watt. Yeah it should be, with more efficient CPU on a smaller die that is running at a slower clock than todays CPU it should be more efficient.

    Intel 5x faster per watt.

    did you guys read the rest of the article? they are shortening the pipeline on the CPU to something like 14 steps, down from 31 in the P4. AMD chip use a 12 step pipe. What this means, if they stamped out these new chips today you are not going to have anywhere near the same clock speed as...

    Physics Major?

    its also going to depend a lot on where you want to live. One nice thing about engineering is that its very broad, you can work in many different kinds of places with just one kind of degree. Like most of said, to do anything with physics your going to have to go all the way, masters or...

    Mod Question - Using 2 PSUs on 1 PC.....

    I would not think so, you would have to split the supplies apart to do that, and then i would be worried about 1 power cord running all that current though it. It might be fine but i would be worried about it.

    XP-90C vs XP-120 vs ThermalTake BigWater

    Save some money and buy a regular XP-90. The 1-2 degrees you get by having the sheer weight of the XP-90C is not worth it IMO, it scares me having that much weight on the socket. Dont get the XP-120, you loose access to some ram slots on the DFI. Dont have expirence with the bigwater, had a...

    Dual Core 64 vs Single Core Opteron x2

    I would say the two memory contollers would be better than one. Game server i have right now is a SMP box, dual xeon to be exact. From expirence UT is a hog, right up there with BF. Our current loading is a follows. CPU 1- 64 man BF2 CPU 2 - 40 man COD, 40 man COD:UO, 20 man CS:Source, 20...

    Battlefield 2 Server

    EA is pretty on the ball on getting providers ranked or trusted status. The process takes a few weeks and then they are given access to the server codes. So no you do not have to pay an insane amount to ea to get a trusted server, but you have to fine a provider thats not raping you in order...

    Battlefield 2 Server

    i just like the freedom of not having to wait for a tech support guy to upload files, troubleshoot problems ect ect. with 30+ people in the clan playing a large selection of games, a dedicated box is the only way to go. I guess i have some bad tastes in my mouth from past expirences. Every...

    haha why dont people get their own dedicated servers instead of paying per slot? my clan is paying 205 a month for a website which we use for http redirect, a dual 2.4ghz Xeon with 2 gb of ram and 2 80gb drives. After having a dedicated box i would never goto a shared server, gotta love the...

    AMD System for a friend...WHICH CORE?

    venice or san diego for single core, the dual core cpus use the venice and san diego core they just called it something else for some reason. Lower power consumption on the venice and san diego cores, plus sse3 instructions.

    I have the armor, Its a sweet case nice and big. Spring for the silver though as that is actually an aluminum case. I have the black which is steel, and that thing is fricking heavy! Also, if you have a fan contoller of any kind you should go for the armor, i think the door on the kandalf...

    SLI lock ups? Overheating?

    do you happen to have a SB card in that system? I was getting random game freezes with my 6800 GT because of an IRQ sharing between my graphics and Audigy card. Also, make sure you have cool and quiet disabled, that could be the cause of your multiplier changing.

    8-pin molex to pci-e connector conversion

    do yourself a favor and buy a SLI-certified PSU. You might (noticed i said might) be able to run it on a conventional PSU but generally people are having isues with this. Nforce 4 boards are power hungry beasts, stack on to that say two 6800GT's and your talking some major wattage. If you...

    3/8" I.D. vs 1/2" I.D. hose

    even though im not into water cooling, here is my two cents about the pumps. I run a Hydor pump for my aquarim to run my protein skimmer, its not silent by any means but does not make a lot of noise That Hydor pump is an ac pump so you would not be able to run it off of your power supply, you...

    DTS Decoder Plug-in for Winamp?

    THX is a certification, nothing more. Basically instead of 5%tolarance on equipment you have to have 2% to get a THX cert for example. Its just another way for lucas to make money.

    Which A64 CPU for this Mobo/Video/Memory?

    3200 is good for the 10x multi, makes oc a little bit easier. As for the core get the venice, right now its at a price premium (10-25 bucks compared to winnie) but has sse3 and a better manufacturing process, as well as an updated memory controller.

    Poll: Battle of the uber cases (need help) TT Kandalf /armor vs CM Stacker vs Vs. Lian Li v-1000B/2000

    yes the armor case does have magnets, they dont just flop open if your comp is not on level ground. Personally i didnt care for the door that i had on my old super dragon case which is why i picked the armor over the kandalf. About the weight, the case is fricking heavy, not a fun lan party box!

    SLI cooling inquiry

    you must be careful of what SLI MB you get when using large coolers. The asus SLI boards have two slots in between the the PCIE slots where as my dfi only has 1. Needless to say there is no way a 2 slot cooler would fit on my mb.
