Addendum: Google ran on old Sparcstations for a while. How can I edit my posts?

Right, and using my Nikon F5 stifles my creativity because it's film. I play a piano that was made god knows when - it's definitely not holding my creativity back. I'm using an old school laptop, a 2012 Macbook Air. Not stifling my creativity. If your creativity is being stifled, it is your...

Remember that the heatsink of a Athlon II X2 is not that much bigger than that of a Sempron 145. So I would say there's nothing to worry about.

I had a Athlon XP 1800 which is slightly slower than the P4 you have. It played 720p just fine, except for complex scenes with lots of moving particles (snow, high bitrate, high motion). Tip: skip the inbuilt deblocking filter (you can do that with pretty much any decoder), it will drastically...

I managed to last until 0:46 - and then I read mashie's post. I should've known better, but I skipped ahead to 2:00 anyway...

Hopefully there will be more quiet parts - those were the best parts of Alien/Aliens.

It took this long for some people to realize this. Goes to show how easily swept up people can be. Luckily this one woke up.

So it's "big whoop" if it's an American TV channel, but "OMFG I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY DID THAT" when China does it on the Olympic broadcast?

It's not just AMD. nVidia and VIA have also quit the consortium at the same time.

Sounds like Steve's Adobe hole got exploited once too many ;)

Actually this makes some sense. Pics of 25 different girls? A lot of potential profit, gone right there. No wonder he wanted them back :D That said, I wonder if this really is a matter of choice. I'm into blondes, and it isn't a matter of whether I choose to prefer them or not.

At 265MHz*14: kept CPU multiplier the same, CPU NB frequency lowered to 1855MHz, HT Link also lowered to 1855MHz. CPU voltage set to 1.45V ([email protected] is 1.425V), CPU/NB voltage increased to 1.30V from 1.175V. Under load the LLC will make the voltage around 1.48V or something, and it will...

Sure, mine can do 3.7GHz on 1.3V too, if there's 0% CPU usage. But when I put a load on the CPU, for instance folding or anything CPU intensive, the motherboard cranks up the voltage to 1.525V to compensate for Vdroop. If I turn off CPU LLC, the voltage drops down 0.1-0.2V and it locks up hard a...
