This is where I again talk about the decline and coming collapse of the pc gaming market. Then other people will argue, someone will link to an old thread with titles in development, etc. Lets just cut to the end: PC game sales have been declining for a long time. You have people buying one...

I JUST GOT THIS TODAY and realized I will never, ever be able to draw on it. I'm too used to looking at the paper I'm drawing on, not the screen. If you're already a wacom user, this is perfect for you. I used it 2 or 3 hours...yes, its that new. My Heat: (note I just did business with...

:confused: you must not be reading the same news I am.

question: anyone know where I can get a vertical/near vertical stand for my new 6x11? Something I can use to set it upright next to my monitor would be wonderful.

I personally don't understand the interest people have in HD News. HD entertainment is wonderful, but seeing the genalized news horror of the day somehow isn't appealing.

..theres quite a difference in what you apparently watch and what everyone else is watching. Everything I watch in prime time is in HD.

this single post was 200% more informative than asking a question in an irc channel with several hundred linux users who ignore you.

well, I went and looked at the 4x6 in BB and it was horribly tiny. I ordered the 6x11 at buy.com for $300 shipped. :cool: :D :D :D:cool:

...Its not exactly helping AMD for these people to be driven to Intel, now is it? Your rationale is lacking, and I'm done. You aren't worth the arguement.

Call it how you want. You kept pushing core 2 and AM2 into the equation when they were peripheral to the discussion at best. Lets put it this way: the expected upgrade POTENTIAL for 939 that people were counting on has effectively been removed. Like that one better? People were expecting to be...

Should I get the 4x6 or the 6x11? What are your personal experiences? I'm not a pro artist, but I like to tinker and can't help but think that if I really like it, I'll wish I had gotten the larger one.

because these people who want to move up also wouldn't mind saying money and effort both by staying on their current platform. Of COURSE if they wanted the newest and best they would run out and get a core 2 quad, but they would rather do the intelligent thing and make a minor hop on the...

You have COMPLETELY missed the point that the discussion isnt about performance. Congratulations. This is AMD collapsing and leaving the market if they don't do something convincing in the next generation or two.

People aren't "crying" about it. They are mad that AMD sat on its ass yet another generation with no real shift in performance and is now bottoming out. We need two major players in the market. Hopefully the folks at AMD have gotten a kick in the pants now. I personally don't want $400 and $500...

You make the incorrect assumption that I actually care to upgrade at the moment from where I am currently...and you are completely wrong. I dont play games. I have an x2 3800 which will last me quite some time, so the mini novel you just typed out, completely meaningless to me. Oh wait..It gets...

Because you wouldn't want to be down by 611 million or anything, right? No matter how much everyone wants to push the idea of "they had to go AM2 and kill 939 off overnight" AMDs horrible financial performance of late shows that whatever the plan was, it didn't freaking work. You're standing...

giving myself credit? You sit and talk about how the rest of us 'can't think outside the box', when there was nothing abnormal, inventive, outrageous etc that happened in the move to AM2 which would require being analyzed to any degree. If anyone is on an ego trip here, its you. The rest of us...

In your rambling you lost site of the original arguement, that AMD cutting off 939 owners has cost them dearly, which it has. Something should have clicked at AMD when they realized they weren't selling buckets of AM2, and socket 939 manufacturing should have continued for some time. There are...

It doesn't defeat the purpose because apparently the things included are older subjects that are completely accurate and don't change. It does make for a nice offline reference however.

I'd definitely buy OSX. I've been expecting this to happen eventually for several years now.

In a 6foot length 28/30 is a meaningless distinction. Get whats cheap and you'll be fine. Overthinking this is a waste of time.

that patent reads like something out of beavis and butthead. "a tattoo of a butt on my butt!"

you're missing the point. 5% is negligable to the wide majority of users who would otherwise have to purchase a new mobo, ram, and a new processor instead of just a processor. Most people when given the chance would have upgraded to a high end socket 939, but such things did not exist. When...

the benefits of ddr2 vs ddr1 in the amount of time we were talking about are completey negligable. A window of 2 or 3 years, max. from 939 to am3 with no stops along the way. AM2 was a stopgap and look what happened to AMD as a result.

...on an indefinite timeline sure, but we are only talking about a few years here. AM2 was a complete waste of time and could have been skipped.

they get it completely. They gather enough money up in the short term that they can easily retire and sit on the beach the rest of their lives. They dont care about AMD down the line.

If they hadn't been so fast to flush 939 they wouldn't be in this situation. They screwed themselves. They left legions of people who wanted to upgrade who would have moved to just another newer faster amd cpu on 939 in the lurch. Those people then decided to go the obvious core2 route. Stupid...

hdcp compatibility.

I'll likely buy amd next just to do my little part in keeping them afloat. We absolutely need that competition. The last reign of intel really, really sucked.

I've never run antivirus routinely, probably never will. I've been online a very long time without problems. Once or twice a year I'll run whatever the hot new AV product is for shits and giggles, and get nothing out of it. Using common sense, keeping updated and simply paying attention to...

People seem to be ignoring the fact that you're currently single core and 1gig. You will notice tremendous improvements going to a dualie with 2 gig. If your objective is to go to the Quad at the end of the year, get a 775 board and 2 gig and slap something like a low end Pentium D on it for now

fully agreed.

and the 8300? particularly the GT? I want full reviews. Minor details don't cut it :P What does Ati have coming thats comparable to the 8600/8300 stuff? I haven't paid attention in quite some time. I'm most interested in hdcp compatibility, and just having enough kick to run vista. Passive...

when do the damn NDAs come off the 8300/8600 stuff? I really need to see some more info.

I dont think independent european films are going to drive the worldwide movie market either. Its over for hd-dvd. Japan is completely Blu already, like 97%+, the major retailers in Australia are not going to carry hd-dvd at all, and some of the smaller euro countries have never even seen hd-dvd...
