    Are any of you Computer Engineers?

    Tell me more about Dr. Zed and yourself. Starting with you, where did you get started? I heard about someone named Jeri Ellsworth who is now a VLSI designer but she taught herself. As a little girl she lived way out in the sticks (rural upbringing) and like most children who don't have rich...

    Are any of you Computer Engineers?

    I can relate to the idea of talking to a company's talent and finding out what directions I should take my training. Learning about a project leader at a convention over an overclocking demonstration is definitely a good point of inquiry. I could also surf the net looking at the backgrounds of...

    Are any of you Computer Engineers?

    Okay, fair enough. It sounds like I need employ some problem solving strategies such as looking at why I don't have the income to by equipment and when I get some flow try different designs. I should also compare opinions from various sources such as hardware reviews and experienced builders...

    Are any of you Computer Engineers?

    I thank you for the replies. I learned from the perspectives of ComputerBox34 and Ripken204: I have often wondered what the opinion was in the Computer Engineering industry about those certifications. I didn't know that you didn't put as qualifications in a Resume B.S. Computer Engineering and...

    Are any of you Computer Engineers?

    Hello, I was just reading about Anand Lal Shimpi the CEO and founder of Anandtech and I learned that when he founded Anandtech in 1997 he had a degree in computer engineering. It got me to thinking about how computer engineering and IBM Clone PCs are related. What I would really like to...

    Is it the economy or is it me? (no driver CD included)

    Hello: I'm interested in your thoughts about this situation: New motherboard, no driver CD-ROM included. Did newegg sell me an 'open box' motherboard or is it the latest trend not to supply users with driver CD's? Thanks: Dubious9

    Crysis...is it THAT demanding?

    Sometimes people have trouble getting together the right configuration or having the proper settings. When I tried Crysis and decided that it sucked...it was when I didn't know how to get the best picture from my TV (I now know how to use the Nvidia Control Panel.) My rig was underpowered for my...

    ASUS vs. EVGA vs. GIGABYTE

    I love building PC's. But I have to ask you gentleman how is it that you wind up building so many rigs? I talked to a guy (Jeramy of 'Up and Running Computers', Tallahassee, Florida( that is second in command of a small computer store in my neighborhood who tells me that he hasn't built one in...

    ASUS vs. EVGA vs. GIGABYTE

    I just thought that power design was a large part of why my experience with one motherboard was better than others. I had not idea that I didn't adequately understand power design. For me it was like I tried two seemingly feature rich motherboards and they solved certain problems I had over one...

    Crysis...is it THAT demanding?

    Okay Thanks Guys: I'm always eager to learn about graphics. I need to fast forward to the year twenty ten. I still use a GTX 260. However, much has changed since I tried Crysis for the first time. There's Crysis Warhead and its more modern and better suited for hardware that wasn't around...

    Crysis...is it THAT demanding?

    Hello: I was much enlightened by this thread. I too was wondering why Crysis seemed to run poorly on my rig where as other games ran well. But my views are a little different and I was wondering if people could help me figure out what's going on. I was not impressed with the graphics...
