Centauri has a point. AMD has nothing else to offer against Haswell at the moment. If it costs them nothing to offer these new SKU's, why is that a bad thing? No one is forcing you to buy one if you don't like the specs. As an AMD fan, I'd think about getting one if I had the money to spend...

So true!

Well said, octoberasian. Totally agree. AMD is a smaller company, they're doing what they can. I too think there's more growth in low power/mobile stuff than there is in high end desktops. How many phones, laptops, and tablets are sold a year compared the # of high end enthusiast desktop...

I work as a software development manager for a large CAE software company on a engineering post processing product. We validate our software rendering against the professional cards, and work with NVidia and AMD to address issues that come up in testing. We spend no time validating our...

Your other option is to program in OpenCL. OpenCL runtimes can use the CPU, the GPU, or both. NVidia has an OpenGL SDK/runtime for their cards, and AMD/Ati has OpenCL runtimes & SDKs for their cards. I believe I once read that NVidia's CUDA SDK may allow you to better tune your code for...

Wow - that's pretty lame. Nothing below a Quadro 5000 is even SLI certified? This is pretty disappointing. So much for me trying SLI with our CAE apps on my work rig.

When working from home, compiling huge amounts of C++ code, running CAE software (HyperView, HyperMesh)

NSide - I'm a software developer for a leading manufacturer of Computer Automated Engineering software. Think Finite Element Analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Aerospace, etc. Not every problem can be written to run on multiple threads. It's not like we can just go...

I'd like to echo with pgaster said I'm a senior level developer for Altair Engineering. We write a lot of software for CAE, and I work specifically on the post processing visualization part. Our code uses OpenGL, as does just about every professional engineering package out there...

QuiteSufficient - running a Phenom II X6 at home and love it, and we do have a few older Dual Opterons around the building. Unfortunately, Intel Parallel Studio don't work correctly on non-Intel chips, so I'm kind of stuck with options for the work PC. Darn Intel and their lock-in tactics!

Well, there IS a limit to my budget. The SR-2 motherboard, and a compatible case, adds a LOT of cost. The SR-2 motherboard alone is > $500, which is $300.00 more than a decent Asus P6X58D-E. I also don't see what the SR-2 gives me over something like the Asus Z8PE-12, except lots of...

The comment about the 2X price premium for 25% more performance piqued my interest. I'm a professional software developer. We have a HUGE code base written in C++. Compiling our code tree can take a few minutes if the changes are small, or more than an hour on my existing system if the...

I have a 1090T with an ASRock 870iCafe If I don't overclock should I still be worried?

Well, if you look at some reviews of the 7950 GX2, like this one: http://hothardware.com/Articles/NVIDIA-GeForce-8800-GTX-and-8800-GTS-Unified-Powerhouses/?page=1 The 7950GX2 is roughly equivalent to a 1st generation 8800GTS 640, but it's not a DX10 part, only DX9. A 8800GTS 640 has 96...

I'm in. Thanks!

I have the same problem with my Ipod Mini plugged in with my Biostar TForce 550SE. Locks at POST unless I unplug the Ipod.

1. I'd build a gaming rig around it. 2. Phenom.

Every right-angle ConnectorZ that I select at Jab-Tech shows out of stock. Adpmods.com also seems to have them on their web site, but I see no way to select them and put them in a cart for ordering (browsing using Firefox). Any other sources of ConnectorZ items?

Hey guys, where I work I've been given a NVidia Quadro 5600 video card to install into my existing HP xw6200 "workstation" PC to see if we can find ways of taking advantage of it in our app. We do 3D CAE software. Anyway, I also put in a new Seasonic 600W PSU to handle the power...

Hey guys. I'm cleaning out my garage of old hardware, and came across some Slot-1 era hardware, as well as a couple of Pentium 3 CPU's and Slotket adapters. I'm giving away these old systems to some local people. I already gave away a 450MHz system to a low income individual and a...

I'm not sure about performance hits. See this page from Microsoft about how much addressable memory 32-bit Windows operating systems support, and how to modify some of them to allow apps to potentially address 3GB per process instead of only 2GB per process...

Thanks. Maybe I'll just get the TForce 550, then. What I liked about the 520 based board was it claimed to support 8G max ram instead of 4G max on the 550 boards. I also do some software development, and the CAE software I work on sometimes requires that I load REALLY big files. I...

The Abit AN52 seems to be a brand new product from Abit. I was looking at purchasing it as part of a budget system upgrade from my Socket 754 system. I was planning on purchasing it along with a X2 3600+ and 2G of RAM. Does anyone know if this board has any overclocking potential...

Do you need really high-priced RAM to reach clocks that high on the X2 3600+ ?

Title pretty much explains it. I'm a code developer, currently using a Socket 754 board with Athlon 64 3000+, 2G of RAM, and an AGP NVidia 6800 nu at home. I work on CAE software for a living, and am researching pushing tons of vertex data down into the card vis OpenGL vertex buffers as a...

I'm looking into buying an 8800GTS series card at home. For gaming, but also to drive the professional CAE applications I work on as a software engineer at work. I'd like to know how it compares to the Quadro series, especially in triangles/sec. I searched Google, and the Hardocp...

That is correct. We code our engineering software to use 64-bit Windows and Linux systems. My main development desktop in an XP64 system with 3G of RAM. Next to me is a Dual Opteron system with 8G of RAM, also running 64-bit Windows as well as 64-bit Linux. In the engineering world, you need...

This is only true if you used encryption on the files.

Sorry I'm late in responding to this. You probably have it figured out by now. Anyway, to see what files are installed by a particular package, including what directories they are stored in, you can always do dpkg -L PACKAGENAME

Here are some basic specs I dug up on the two video cards you mentioned: http://techreport.com/reviews/2004q4/geforce-6200/index.x?pg=3 http://techreport.com/reviews/2003q4/geforcefx-5700ultra/index.x?pg=1 For a 5700 Ultra: 4 pixel pipelines 1900 Mpixels/s 1900 Mtexels/s 14.5 GB/s...

Checkout this link http://www.microcenter.com/specials/core2_intro.html Except for the Extreme edition, the other Conroes won't be available until August 7. Will that be the same for other online vendors as well?

Pull power to the router and the printer. The print jobs may be in some sort of flash memory.

Read the comments here: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Kodak/kodak_c300.asp It seems to be a good starter camera, especially for $50.00. I wish my old Fuji 2MP camera hadn't died, because at least it had optical zoom, which this 3MP camera lacks. I'm ordering one of these for...

LOL. Quite right. Okay, TEN years. :-)
