http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=121&t=532817 I think you've rather much shown how stupid you are by linking that and not even realizing its a photorealistic render. Look down the page champ. You aren't going to "straighten" anything out. You're a pompous what, 18 year old...

People used to discuss the merits of X or Y thing in places like this. I guess I expected that instead. Goodbye, losers.

Guess I'll go elsewhere. You people are a joke. You sit and all you give a shit about is "playing" super pi or "playing" x whatever benchmark. You do little of nothing but scream about how great you are over a fucking number. Get some goddamn perspective. You idiots should take a look at...

O&O has screwed me twice in the past. I wouldn't touch that crap with a pole now.

Starting a thread is asking for opinions, otherwise its just the OP sitting there screaming "LOOK AT MY E-PENIS!" "LOOK AT IT, ITS HUUUGGGEEE!!" If you want to reduce your time at the computer to looking longingly upon his e-penis I suppose thats you, but I would rather discuss the subject at...

So I assume you run all your games with AA off, right?

When you start a thread for something you're essentially asking for opinions. Get over it.

Yes, you are the only person who doesn't like it, because cleartype is frigging awesome.

yes, because I buy parts to last. The op "got bored of his quad" "had it a whole year". Read that and think about it. A year. I have a hard time believing people have become that petty, its like computer related ADD or something. His quad supposedly wasn't that great an overclocker, so what was...

I've seen a lot of people recently who are so incredibly enamored of getting to 4.0 that it's funny. I would rather have a quad at even stock than have a quad and go back to a dual.

Both Sweeny Todd and Cloverfield are coming out on Bluray. They weren't day/date with dvd due to the transition to Bluray.

yes. there is. Why do people refuse to believe simple things like this? a simple newegg search reveals at least 3 different 1gb 8500gt cards exist.

which OS? Vista has problems with 4gig of ram at install. If its Vista pull 2gig and try again.

Not this thead again. I'm going to cry.

Lets see: Toshiba was subsidizing hd-dvd at a tremendous loss...and no, the discs were NOT cheaper. I don't know why people continue to tell these lies.

Waiting for the Q9300 to hit this kind of pricing.

Product unit manager David Cross made the comment last week at the RSA Conference, in reference to a Vista security feature called User Access Controls (UAC). UAC requires users to run Vista without administrator privileges, and it prompts users when they attempt to install some new...

the 8200 is quickly being dropped to be replaced with the 8300.

:confused: I never understand why people insist on upgrading video for machines that the OP always says are not going to be used for gaming. The 8600gt he has chosen is less expensive and fine. For the OP, like other other poster said, I would consider a quad since you intend to be doing...

The funny here is that half these people are probably playing it on a "720p" lcd, which is scaling everything to 1366x768.

yeah, only amd.

:rolleyes:

shouldn't you be able to replace the whole lock with a hardware store trip? might take some looking, but I'm sure its out there. You might write to lian-li and ask if they have a manufacturer/part number for it.

dvd media is interlaced, not progressive. the players provide the progressive playback. (or software, on the PC)

the 8 series duals and the 9series quads are the new 45nm stuff, you're good. Buying an e8500 instead of an e8400 is just throwing away $80 however. If you want it to last, get a quad. Be aware tho, that the Q9300, while a good processor has a lower multiplier than the older Q6600, which...

I need to find a forum where people dont have this simpleton single minded obsession with gaming.

I think one of the key questions here is what is the percentage breakdown between gaming and encoding? I think a $180-$200 Q6600 (65nm quad core at 2.4ghz stock) with 4gig of ddr2 800 would suit you fine. It would provide quad for encoding and can easily be overclocked into the 3ghz range for...

I don't understand this sudden surge in people running incredibly fast systems, quads at 3.6 and 3.8 who "just want to get to 4ghz+". The difference is absolutely and completely nominal and wont really be noticed on the software side. It's bluntly quite insane to spend that much more money just...

I'd wait to see what the e7200 is fielded at in 2 weeks.

That's a really dumb assertion. Installing OSX is too complicated for the average person.

I would call that a useless upgrade.

oled is going to be prohibitively expensive for quite some time. I'm hoping laser makes a quick dent in the market and they introduce some low end (desktop size) units fast.

doing what?

I'm a fan of this for the simple reason that I believe every computer you build should be able to run for as long as possible with reasonable performance. If you give it to family, charity, a school, etc it feels good to know that you're giving away a capable system.

Christ I don't know where to start butchering your 'theory' at. I suppose it's best that people simply look at your grammar and come to their own conclusions from there.

hahaha. that was a good one.

The never ending cycle of this question is just stunning. I feel like I'm stuck in some fucking Star Trek time loop. FYI: spending the extra money on the Q9650 or 8500 means you have too much money and too little sense. For what you do get a Q6600 and clock it to between 3ghz and 3.6 and call...

I'd love to have a multi flash card reader (and usb port) in my car like I have in my computer. (instead of a traditional stereo that is) try monoprice.com

I really don't believe this to be true to any appreciable degree. It just screams wrong. Maybe between having a pc and not, but I believe even running a pc 24/7 is probably a nominal cost, not to mention minor differences in processor consumption alone. I suck at math however, so maybe...

This topic is ALWAYS going on now. Maybe we can finish the whole dual or quad thing in one go. Two CPUs enter, One CPU leaves.
