exactly, the null. PLUS you're just not in if you're not anti... :rolleyes:

True. Will there be any HT3 enabled motherboards launched alongside Barcelona?

Thanks for the input, APOLLO, I'll check back with ASUS then.

Thanks a bunch, protocol - that did it! saved me a lot of time!

just a quick question: AFAIK the penryn based xeons will require a new mainboard. Is that correct? Or will they be drop-in compatible with current 53xx based xeons mainboards?

ok, a friend of mine bought an ACER 5683 WLMi Notebook, which comes with Vista Home Premium by default. He wants to have XP installed on the machine, though (i couldn't care less, so please don't get into a vista/XP fight). Now the problem is, I cannot make the computer boot from his XP CD...

Thought there might have been a month fixed, as august with barcelona... So Q4 ate best.

I have a couple of questions regarding agenaFX and hope someone can help me out here: Does anyone know if there is a semi-solid release date for these processors (such as august for barcelona)? Secondly, what platform will they be used in? AFAIK the agenafx processors will be the first ones to...

No clue who got it wrong. maybe it was xbits'. Let's just hope they ramp up the clock-speed quickly. To be honest - if the given emulated scores turn out to be true I'll be amazed no matter what, considering the fact that it's pitted against a core2 derivate, which was a massive leap ahead in...

hey visaris, AFAIK it was a simulated Barcelona @ 2.6GHz and not 2.3GHz: http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20070702235635.html "Unfortunately, Barcelona’s test results are “estimated performance” of the chip at 2.60GHz “based on internal AMD emulations&#8221...

great if true. i'll certainly wait for the benchmarks in august before passing a decision. If it does not deliver I'll go xeon 53xx. simple as that.

Thanks for the input, Slartibartfast. SUpermicro boards are pretty much impossible to get in Austria - I've been looking for one before, Tyan was the second choice for me. Are ASUS boards considered to be a viable alternative, or is their reputation in the server space not as good? Will post...

Hi all, I am currently in the process of speccing out my first dual-socket built. That being said - I'd really like to hear what you guys think about it, as I do not have any experience whatsoever when it comes to server/workstation-class components. There will be a total of three machines...

Yeah, just saw this - and was typing while you send the answer ;) Thanks a bunch anyways, catweazle!

Yep, checked what you suggested, too. However, after some deep digging i came up with this: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general&tid=65a522c2-e440-42b9-9b07-a6267bd6945d&m=1&p=1 Aparently, the problem...

ok, here is the problem: yesterday microsoft update installed a new cumulative security update for IE7 on my vista64 machine. since then, i cannot even start the bloody program anymore: whenever i intend to, IE7 starts up briefly and then the download window pops up asking where i want to save...

Nah, I think it was a good choice no matter what comes... or doesn't come for that matter. All I can say is that it is about damn time AMD/ATI finally releases something other than press releases IMHO. I cannot remember having been that tired of product announcements ever before - and that...

http://dailytech.com/AMD+to+Drop+Athlon+Moniker+on+the+High+End/article7136.htm I kinda like it... I guess.

just read that, too. now R600 better does deliver - it certainly is the piece of hardware with the most rumors - now it is even supposed to have decend sound onboard! It's getting better every day. :D

I'd love to see how R600 - and 8800GTX for that matter - perform in DX10. also I hope AMD will put out some great fireGLs based on R600 - better yet: I hope they do so in one monolithic launch. :)

AFAIK intel updated the roadmap during last IDF and we will not see 45nm CPUs before 2008 - maybe that is only desktop parts? Correct me if I'm wrong, though. http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2007/0202/kaigai333.htm?www.reghardware.co.uk

All in good fun (I do own Mac products, so don't even bother) - thought it was a rather funny mocking of apple's ad-campaign: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/story/0,,2006031,00.html - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -...

Bugger - it has 128mb RAM. I guess I'm SOL, then :(

Can X800 based cards display all Vista Aero features, such as the transparent window effects, the alt+TAB window selection etc.? I was just wondering, as installed a copy of Vista Ultimate on one of our computers, today, and it doesn't display any of the above-mentioned features. I have to...

While I am with on most parts, I still think it shouldn't be forgotten that you can buy a two socket/8 core setup from Intel for under 3800 as we speak. So while Barcelona might kick some serious ass in the future, 4x4 is reviewed today - and if it is your thing to go massivley multi-core with...

I'll post some pics later today, if I can make it out of the office in time. Otherwise tomorrow, ok?

Kudos, looks nice. I did almost exactly the same layout a couple of years back. Size is almost identical. ... Yours seems to be way more friendly to assemble, though ;) - very nice layout of all components and cooling! One question, though: Are you sure it would fit 8800GTXs? AFAIK they are...

hey drakken, 'cuda' sounds interesting and i must admit i never even heared of it. do you have any links or further information on it? i'm with you, but that does not make specViewPerf less relevant IMHO. once scenes include really heavy geometry or large textures or lots of displacement...

These are pretty low scores if you look at what was posted before. The POV 6800GT PCIe @ Quadro FX4000 (softmodded) scores a lot higher in maya. somethings wrong? are these even the same revisions of specViewperf? Something seems way off, as wto FX4500s should wipe the floor with a single 4000...

formfactor looks weired. This thing IS bigger than ATX, right? Still doesn't look like full eATX spec... :confused: ... ah, and yeah, i want one ;)

I can only comment on older ATI hardware, as I owned a 9700pro soft-modded to fireGL X1 a couple fo years ago. I did not affect the gaming-performance by much (2-5% max.), but the viewport performance in 3D-packages skyrocketed. Definitely worth the try, if you ask me, as you can always...

ok, i know i can change the look of scrollbars in opera, conqueror and IE through CSS, but unfortunately firefox just doesn't like that. do i really have to dive into java, hide the standard browser scrollbars and place the java ones on my site? there has to be a simpler way, right, i'd hope...

We're strictly looking for what's officially considered to be cool, here, so you know when to laugh at your friends and when not. ;)
