That was a touch snotty as I never use the OS forum and it still dident answer the differences between OEM and full.

I am looking to finally upgrade from Win 98 to Win XP and have been checking out the prices and now need some advice. The original upgrade and full versions of XP home and XP Pro are real expensive yet I have found that Ebay has hundreds of OEM versions which are sealed with genuine...

One problem with these companies moving there buisness to TSMC is that they are Choc a Block with orders already as was stated recently in the financial news, They are not going to bend over backwards for new customers especially Nvidia (Nvidia left them and slated them last year) at the expense...

Hey I totally agree with that kyle but thats talking about the process maturing and that does not happen fast, we would be talking 6 months at the least and 600MHZ would still be pushing it even then, id say maybe they will reach 525MHZ within about 6 to 8 months and there wouldent be much...

Id like them to both be pretty close so they enter a pricing war, then I can buy one of each for the price of 1. :D :D

It would take so long to explain you would not believe and I dont think I know enough to give a detailed explanation, so the simplest way to put it is, never compare GPU's to CPU's as there are far to many differences, they cannot be compared. using the current CORE which reviewers have there...

You are now delving into the processor world which is very different and definatly not comparable, GPU's are a lot different, also the celeron could be overclocked easily from the beginning of release it had none of the difficulties reviewers have had with overclocking the NV40. It is not...

It has to be overclocked unless Nvidia has a completly different core to the one which was reviewed which is highly unlikely as the core we have seen cant manage more than 30 to 50 MHZ overclock, even with a silicon revision a 500 MHZ core would be pushing it. Albatron have made an error is...

I know all about volatage and I know that to get a 200 MHZ boost out of that silicon the voltage would be enough to burn out the traces, we are talking 200 MHZ here, go have a look around the net and see if you can see anywhere in the past where someone has managed a 200MHZ boost on the core...

Personally And I am niether for or against ATI or Nvidia infact some here would most likely say im for ATI but I take that statement different to everyone else here, I would say it shows ATI will not have FULL PS3.0 like I have said all along. ALSO ITS THE MAIN "EXTRA FEATURE" ON NV40 vs...

There is one thing I find comical about this, There are people here that are expecting add in board partners to get an extra 200 MHZ out of the core (albatron) which is not physically possible, please name the last time that happened on any graphics card. So far no one has been able to get...

:D :D Do you have any idea how the INQ ended up being correct: They predicted EVERY possible combination they couldent be wrong, christ look at there ATI predictions, the card could still be anything and powered of a small cold fusion reactor and the inq would still be right as if any where...

Its not so much your fault as the link to the forum where these games were found, its a positive flamefest of people saying this is the reason ATI will get pasted and there are some here who took that very same position, it sort of inevitable at these times, but I was just letting people know...

Read my post more carefully, those specs are based on microsoft changing the specs to allow for it at ATI's request, why would they request that and have it work in such a way if they do not intend to use it, this is what convinced most people that ATI will not have full SM3.0 spec, otherwise we...

The source is the specs for DX9.0c on microsofts site :D Edit: it is also all over beyond 3d and is common knowledge now, id of thought so here too.
