hey, count me in as well.

Can you guys take your 911 conspiracy theories elswhere? Calling people names on the internet becuase they have a different opinion is not going to change anything, and neither is trying to convince somone with facts, so take it to a board that cares. Either that or bring it back to computers.

I had to forward your link to my team so they could enjoy this geek pron, I hope you know.:rolleyes:

just broke a million... finally!

Hells Yeah! Go Voodoo.

Have not seen these on campus yet. Don't believe everything you read

Yahoo holds several patents that would save MS substantial annual cash flow were they to own. It is still in MS's best interest to aquire them, but not right now as the stock price keeps dropping. Pennies on the dollar man, pennies on the dollar.

My dual 8800GTs run it pretty well at 1920x1200, average around 30 FPS with some of the options tweaked. My concern is that the game needs patched big time, I have pretty much abandoned this game till the next patch since all my save games crash on load now.

8GB will not gain you anything really for games right now. But you could have fun running some VMs!;)

Ницца работу, товарищ!

FYI you can only step up once. Your stepped up card is not eligible for the program. I reccomend wait till about a week or two from when your Step-up window is about to end, and then choose. You'll probably get a better card and a better deal.

+1 for EVGA stepup +2 for the RMA and cross-ship upgrade options (about the same price as paying for shipping anyway) +3 for the Lifetime warranty I'll always buy the EVGA version over another brand now.

GPU Review can give you the numbers you are looking for, without unwarranted sexual innundo. http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=567&card2=544# GTX has a lead in Mem bandwidth and Flops, they are roughly tied on pixel fill rate, and 8800sli lead in texture fill rate. So throw in...

While the above is a pretty comprehensive list, if you want to compare SLI and CrossfireX configs against each other and individual cards, it won't help. I use http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php as it allows to you compare additional considerations, like overlocks and multi-gpu setups...

Wow this thread is almost as bad as the old Intel vs AMD threads back in the day.

Right, I've pretty much determined that, since anything else would be pretty far fetched. But the timing is very suspicious, and hence makes it and interesting read. I'm currently borrowing some more ram from a friend until I get my RMAs back. The whole point of this was to see if anyone...

These are dual sided sticks. Is Ballistix really this bad?

The standard Ballistix set I got in January, and the Tracers I got last month. Not end of life.

(Not sure if I should post this under PC Games or Memory, so it's going here to avoid crossposting, mod please move if needed) I got Stalker: Clear Sky a few days after it came out, been having a helluva time getting it to run stable. It's fun but buggy as hell. After many a random crash to...

Oh boy! I love non-scientific polls!

No, we don't need a study to tell us this.

I had to laugh at the last line. Evidently I'm cheating myself by not building a pc capable of being swung around my head like I'm trying to lasso a steer. :D

Yeah I didn't care for the music either, you can turn it off with a checkbox in the audio submenu, it's called dynamic music I think.

In SOC, just do a quick save F6 and quick load F7, your screen will freeze for about a second while it writes the save file to the disk, but it's much better than dealing with menus. That was one of the first things I remapped in Clear Sky, (they changed the default layout). The only thing I...

I have to agree with the overly agressive MOBs attacking from long range, and general increased difficulty level. (possible spoiler) As soon as I got to the Cordon I had soldiers targetting me with sniper accuracy with full autos from probably 800+ meters while I'm behind cover. Currently...

:eek:Were they being used as drink holders? jk. I've run into this before. Sometimes if the pc crashes while accessing the cd, they will damage the drive.We had a some at work go bad when a test pass locked up during cd access, and the little plastic ring that you set the disks on, got so hot...

Make a few of them your test boxes.. Play around with Virtualization and alternate OSes and stuff. Just don't run them in your office for crying out loud, the noise.. the noise!!!:o

That's right, I forgot that Dell calls it DRAC, Dell Remote Access Control. On HP machines it called ILO, Integrated Lights Out. Both do the same functions, usually using a separate "management" port.

Regarding using a prebuilt/configured vendor solution (HP, Dell, IBM, etc) versus a "homebrew" server from a reliability standpoint is a no brainer. :cool: While it might seem nostalgic to run a the [H] on overclocked/moded hardware, the reality is that that kind of setup will not give you...

KVM over IP is nice, and with the right system you can use PS/2 or usb dongles. Our standard is the Avocent DSR series, but it is rather spendy. Most Dell servers have their own ILO interface which might be an stopgap option to ditch the crashcart if you are headed towards an all Dell...

I didn't see any sort of KVM solution for your racks. Do you just crashcart it when you need local access?

Ahh those shots make me miss Alaska. Hope you got to see some glaciers. You should try the Alcan if you get a chance, it's a long drive, but pretty fun. Did it 3x back in my college days.

I guess what I was getting at is that all the other reviews done on the [H] have a set of standards that are tested against, and/or similar products contrasted. Let's face it, reviews at the [H] set the bar for other hardware sites to measure up to (real world video card perf test/psu torture...

Did we really need a 3 minute video to tell us that it operates as advertised? That's hardly [H]ard. I would have at least expected some benchmarks to show that there is no speed difference between it and a standard internal port. Or maybe some futzing around with it by plugging in the USB...

Well to answer the question posed in the title, I'd have to say Itanuim. But since you don't have one of those, I'd have to say you need to figure in the ram, disk space/acess speeds, and bandwidth as well instead of just basing the desicion off of proc type.

+1 for Avocent DSR, if you are going to do it, do it right. The DSR2035 is our current lab standard, it allows 2 concurrent remote connections. The website software allows you to view multiple units from one webpage. Overall it just works. USB 2 dongles allow for virtual remote media, i.e...

Who is this joker and why is he yelling at his wife? Cuda has enormous potential, nVidia isn't going to be out of business anytime soon.

FWIW I have an Evga 680i LT and have had a great experiance with it. The Evga warranty is *I believe* lifetime if you register it within 30 days. I've RMA'd it 2x, both times ended up having nothing wrong with the board (drivers, then bad ram). For a few bucks they will even cross ship and cover...

Yes, thank you to ATI for taking advantage of capitolism and a free market economy. No more waiting in long lines to pay through the nose for whatever Nvidia happens to have in stock. =)

The GTS 512 cooler has a different screw pattern than the GT. As an owner of two of these coolers for several months, I think there are a number of things that were overlooked in the review. The first one is that EVGA offers an alternate bios with "tweaked fan settings" to take full...
