    Vista vs. OSX

    oh and forgot the main difference between why an os should get the win over another one... try playing doom3 or quake 4 under osx using the same hardware as under vista and you'll see which os is better underneath. vista is 1.5 times faster than osx using the exact same hardware. that is what...

    Vista vs. OSX

    he completely missed the point on why the uac is there (sounds like a doom company to me) it is there to prevent malware and trojans and worms from launching and executing code. he assumes double click means that it can only be instantiated from the mouse and not remotly which is naive. also...

    AMD Quad-Father 4x4 Details Update

    well from what i am looking at there is a simple workaround here. yes it will use fx chips yes it will use opteron socket f as well. the memory controller is on the cpu not the mobo. all the mobo manufacturer needs to do is add support for registered dimms. i.e. 2 registered dimm...

    Using a multii processing box as a vmware server

    if you are going to run dedicated servers for counterstrike just run them in the host operating system not a vm. assign a different port per server needed and you're away and running and you'll get petter performance and disk i/o etc.. bf1942 would nned the vm and winxp but agin run them...

    2x Opty 250 or 2x opty 265

    persoanlly id go for the x2 4800 and the money you save over the four cores use to buy more ram and a raid array. the largest time spent waiting for your system is waiting on the harddrives to spit out data or store it. lots of ram alleviates this as does a raid array. also the x2 4800 is...

    Advice on manufacturer and AMD audio

    zero hours of uncompressed mpeg4 as there is no such thing. mpeg 4 is always compressed at some ratio. now why don't you just use a nice silverstone case? you could use a network attached staorage device running 2k or linux for storage of video and dedicate it to a gigabit ethernet port...

    The poor man's MP: Do-able? (Caution: Big Picture)

    your idea for the pci-e x16 lanes for an interconnect would make a good cluster card concept, but not a good dual processor concept. basically you have recreated the wheel only given it run flat tires and thought it was original. the concept of one cpu talking to another over the pci and...

    apple vs. amd web server

    cover the basics plenty of ram would be in the range of 2 GB as it isn't going to get hit very hard at all from your use scenario. larger cache size would do you better than faster MHZ in your processor so you may want to investigate the xeon range as an alternative. remember "no one...

    Performance Difference between Dual Xeons and Single Opteron 165

    the opty will either beat or not beat the dual xeons you have. it all depends on what kind of overclock you get out of the 165. if you get a big oc then you'll beat the 3.4 xeons. if you get a small one then you'll be near or just below that setup. here's a thought though, if you are using...

    First Multi-cpu rig build, need final advice

    coupla of thoughts the benchmark your friend looked at doesn't even have any dual core cpus listed. those are the single core a-64s not x2 processors listed in the benchmarks. for some applications the x2 will be faster than 2 seperate opterons depending on the steppings of the cpus involved...

    Need Opty Advice

    just curious on this point but why not contract a custom case fabrication at a local fabricating shop and do 40 or so cases in a run. especially if you already have the cad software to design it yourself? this would give you more free time to play at your favorite hobbies and wouldn't cost much...

    dually's with different speeds

    processor speed in dualie systems need to be matched. cache sizes need to be matched. in some cases even the same stepping of cpu needs to be a match. besides it isn't hard to find a 667 p3 on ebay for cheap that has the same specs as you need or 2 new 1ghz parts that are matched for that...

    Diamond based Heatsinks (Highest Thermal Conductivity Available!)

    actually diamonds are continually deteriorating once you remove them from the pressure of their natural enviornment. the more you heat them the faster they deteriorate. at cpu operating temperatures after 1-2 years you would need to remove the thermal paste and reapply as the surface area would...
