    Imagining the Future of Windows 8

    I like where it is, with win 7. disagree completely about 64 bit only.. the more they load stuff onto graphic the better it gets. ..and ECC. I love it factually on my home pc. No changes in acknowledging this in low level functions would be decent.. for twelve years my compaint holds...

    Steve Jobs List Reasons Why Apple Hates Adobe

    I remember complaints from mr.jobs from some time ago... I found in amazement over 5 years ago, the pc I thought was getting outdated played h.264 worlds better than flash.. and ya know what? it is five years later and flash still sucks ass. I am pc all the way. I think they can nail flash...

    The New Myth about Frames Per Second

    I still notice nothing. I have driven post CRT to popping smoke...and no lcd is ever gonna get that far.... past 60 is more glass like, that is all. I refer to a most common game, HL2, I started off at 45-50, now at 108. I have to run the stress test to know. The myth is beyond fps, I...

    What the heck was that?

    I am fixing several computers. this time of year they die. I am conquering things slowly, and even found industrial strength crystals (temp/shock) and a few spots to urethane. I end up with the unsolvables... Today, I swapped a clock, sure enough, everything is lively, cpu hot...

    300 Watt PS and best performing graphics card

    i am in same realm of pc, the 3650 is nice. my previous card was a 2600, the contrast in consumption for graphic returned was so much, the monitor even had to calm down... it is called ati powerplay. the dual cores are dynamical enough to handle the yoyo of it, my 3.4e prescott was not...

    MATX board with quick POST?

    Not much will do as you ask. The SSD is as fast as it will go. If some remember the ata 133 (I had a soyo board with it) that was crazy fast, crazy as a board burner could be... memory with multi threads, etc etc, it seems it does not matter. the goal is integrity, not speed at boot. I would...

    making motherboard "industrial"

    This may seem like crazy hacks, so I do not recommend.. but if to keep this thread open for a question about the steps in making a motherboard "industrial strength" I have found the magical liquids you can apply, epoxy thick to runny, potting, insulating, etc...but it seems makeshift and...

    dell 670, sl8ma

    of course this is getting old, I found another thread here related to my quest, but was not allowed to post in it. I am into the older stuff that went by rather fast. my current machine is a ht 3.4e prescott. I am wanting to build this scenario before I simply can't. anybody done this...

    CoolerMaster V10! (56k warning)

    Mystery video card... what could it be?

    It is an oem builders ATI card. Foxconn connectors no labeling..Even ati technologies brags at themself with a logo. OEMS get the 1 cent cheaper version without the stickers. 2400 first oem spotting for me was dell.

    Hardware video decoding; Who cares?

    I found it to be incredibly important. A quick lesson is a big fat mpeg2 at 10mbit and small vid size (if my vid were a 1920x1080 it would be proportianately 30+ mbit to equal my 704x480) anyway, coincidental testing after blowing out yet another ati card (physically pooped a chip) My encoding...

    How does a Heatpipe Work?

    the wikipedia heatpipe and an open ended pc heatpipe pipe is different. there is no darn liquid. there is of course a different atmosphere in the pipes, only reacting to where the thermal direction is hot to cool. Upside down open heatpipe heatsink, has openings at the bottom, makes no...

    Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 Rev.2 @ [H]

    Have given this more than a week, and must say I am in awe even with 10 years and multiple vid card tragedies to compare to... Update idle is 39C- full load is 46C found it similar to the 8800gt with same cooler, staying passive. the backside of oem card is hacked to what I had to do...
