    XP vs. Vista - A Tale of Framerates

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm a college-educated, married, engineer. And not only did I "throw money" at MS for its' "Ultimate OS", but this is the FIRST version of Windows that I actually did that with. I've run cracked (or otherwise obtained) versions of every Windows version since 1.0...

    XP vs. Vista - A Tale of Framerates

    Of course I realize that. But those people largely aren't reading [H]Enthusiast articles either. I understand why some people have the opinion of Vista that they do (though I think much of it is unfounded). How would I sell Vista to the people you describe? Very simple. I wouldn't. I...

    XP vs. Vista - A Tale of Framerates

    I agree. But if ATi cards had been tested, perhaps the fault would have been clear (or maybe not). If you look at a review that has the XP as a baseline, the ATi numbers are off 5%, and the nVidia numbers are off 30%, are you more inclined to believe it's the OS now or the video card? And...

    XP vs. Vista - A Tale of Framerates

    And how did you manage to get the same framerate in CoH between a 7600GT and an 8800GTS under WinXP? All you did was bump a couple settings up a bit. Nothing too drastic at all. You didn't change the resolution, didn't turn anything up more than a 1 bump increase. Nothing big. With such...

    XP vs. Vista - A Tale of Framerates

    Worst. [H]ard. Review. Ever. Oh... I dunno... maybe the friggin' graphics card?!. So you consider the possiblity that the chipset or HD could cause discrepancies, but the idea of the card itself didn't enter your mind at all? Alright, so you did good by restarting the test when new...

    PS3 20GB Discontinued In North America

    As if anyone didn't see this coming. You take the model that you lose significantly more money on and you make it near impossible to purchase. In fact, most major retailers have said that they have been unable to purchase the 20GB SKU for at least 3 months. Not that they didn't want it...

    Weird Question: Using PS without a Motherboard

    That is precisely what I needed to know, I just didn't think anyone would actually know what wires to bridge. Thank you.

    Weird Question: Using PS without a Motherboard

    I've got an unusual question... I'd like to use a standard PC ATX power supply to power some things in a project that I'm building. It'll power some lights, some fans, etc. But there is no PC in this build, and therefore no motherboard. So I'm faced with the dillema in how to turn the...

    Boxed Vista Sales Down Compared To XP

    The same could be said of every Windows upgrade since the move to Windows 95. In fact, I would wager that Vista offers MORE than any upgrade since then. In my opinion as someone who spends about 16 hours a day behind a screen extensively using every OS since DOS 3.2 or so, Vista offers more...

    Vista Follow-Up Likely In 2009

    He doesn't really look like he's talking a new version of Windows to me,but rather a "refresh" of Vista. Note that he refers to SP2 as a refresh, and the time between SP2 and Vista as a benchmark for when to expect Vista's similar refresh. He says that there's more features for Vista that...

    HD-DVD Ahead Slightly In Europe

    I find it hard to believe that fully 100% of the respondents recognized what either of them were. I would imagine that it was more like of the 10% of the respondents that had any idea of what they were talking about, 65% favored HD-DVD. And, now that I actually read the story, how the...

    Google Uses Algorithm To Fill Jobs?

    Actually, a very large percentage of corporations use computers to "fill jobs" or at least select applicants. There is off-the-shelf software made explicitly for this purpose. Various search technologies scan the submitted resumes for ones that it believes will best match the desired...

    Beginning to OC an E6600

    Very easy, step-by-step instructions on OCing the E6600. This is on the 680i motherboards though, so the steps might be slightly different. And this won't net you crazy, insane power, but it will net you a considerable gain over factory. http://pc.ign.com/articles/747/747606p1.html

    Newb Question on Temps when OCing E6600

    As an update, I guess the thing has decided to break in quite a bit more since yesterday afternoon. My idle temp within Windows has dropped 10C to 41C. Now full-load (which I never come close to within a game) only takes me to about 65C. Doesn't seem too bad for 4GHz on an E6600, but then...
