    trying to understand multi core

    Well, I had a feeling I was somewhat lagging behind with this concept ;-) Thank you all for your replies. Looks like it's going to be a quad for me then..

    trying to understand multi core

    Well, I will be using Windows 7 as soon I've built my new system. So you can actually switch cores during a process, like say rendering a huge video, without problems in Windows 7?

    trying to understand multi core

    1) As I understand multi core now, it only speeds up a process if the software supports multi core. So I imagine that if you render one huge video file with such software, a quad core will do it, give or take, twice as fast as a dual core. Right? 2) Suppose I have 4 programs (all not...

    new video card for old analog TV with s-video

    OK, thank you so much for your time and effort guys. Lessons learnt today: - 'good old' s-video will come out of that XFX HD4870 card - stick with an s-video card anyway for that TV (no adapting to s-video) - DVI to VGA adapter, not a problem - should I choose to go cheap, I could go as...

    new video card for old analog TV with s-video

    Hm strange, looks like my last reply has vanished. AnyWHO, the question I asked there was how far back from the HD4870 I could go and still be able to play ALL todays games comfortably on a 17 inch monitor with resolution 1024x768. As far back as the HD3xxx series maybe? EDIT: Oops wrong...

    new video card for old analog TV with s-video

    I'll stick with the s-video cards then Well, my brother told me it is impossible to watch HD on that TV, but that's ok. More interesting is the question how far back I can go from the HD4870 and still be able to play ALL the games comfortably on a 17 inch monitor with resolution 1024x768. As...

    new video card for old analog TV with s-video

    Somewhere else someone asked me why I only looked for s-video cards and why I didn't just buy a VGA to s-video cable for a couple of bucks. BTW, most cards provide a simple looking DVI to VGA adapter, which suggests to me that there shoudn't be much loss there. Am I right? For the games...

    Emm, is that like 'composite' with the 3 different color connectors and no sound? If not, then no.

    new video card for old analog TV with s-video

    Well, you're right ekuest. And if I told you that I will play my games on a 1998 17 inch monitor, you must be cracking up now. Thing is, I found this card somewhere for a mere 100 euros (+/- $140,-), which would be quite a buy. But I would really like to have a passively cooled pci-e card that...

    new video card for old analog TV with s-video

    I'm trying to find a respectable ATI card (hd4650 - hd4870) that can 'feed' my old analog widescreen TV (not HD Ready) 'good old' (crappy) s-video output. I came across this XFX card...
