Rys ..... ? Rys who ......? :runaway: Best of luck in all your current & future endevours & make sure you're not a stranger. :smile:

Just 8 series chipset from what I can see swaaye. Just wish they'd hurry up & release the damned things, mobos & BD! Have to say that the return of "FX" worries me tho. Might mean it's toooo pricey for Wifey which will mean I either don't get a new system. ...... or I get a divorce .... :wink...

http://event.asus.com/2011/mb/AM3_PLUS_Ready/ I'd like to see more info' on this. For examle, is it only for specific versions of the boards that are fitted with the newer "grey" sockets & what limitations will you have to expect over a BD in a 9xx series mobo? MSI are also claiming...

Help me out on this one. A couple of weeks ago people were saying the 450 would be in UK shops mid September. We've now got Fudo saying "delayed till the 12th", another site saying in shops on the 14th ... Is this "delayed" a non-news item, a mis-translation or do they mean the launch is...

http://www.neoseeker.com/news/14516-gts-450-launch-pushed-back-to-september/ Could be baseless rumour for all I know.

Cool! :wink: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/08/05/plasma_storm_update/ UK. I haven't seen anything. Too cloudy & I might be too far south anyway. One more chance according to the article.

http://www.techeye.net/business/intel-and-ftc-finally-reach-agreement-on-anticompetitive-allegations Compiler issue covered ... amongst others. Link to the Full settlement in .PDF available at the bottom of the article. Looks good on paper. :smile:

http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/40087/20100802/ubs-securities-nvidia-chipmaker-amd-intel-graphics-processor-downgrade-sell-price-target-estimates-e.htm I don't usually pay much attention to analysts but ....... it's nV. :twisted: ;-) :runaway: Disclaimer: My real name is not Charlie.:lol:

Thank you one & all. I believe I can now stop running in circles, waving my hands in the air & shouting "the sky is falling". :wink2: Shame nV can't sell their wafers to ATi, at inflated prices of course. :runaway: Ooooooooow! I need a new chair. I bet Jensen has a nice big one. :lol:

I was hoping somebody else would point out the following little gem from Charlie.. Thoughts?

Well, his article is up. http://www.semiaccurate.com/2010/07/29/nvidias-mistakes-catch-bottom-line/ Not his best work imo. In my case "best" means amusing.tho. Couldn't see anything positive. :shock: :wink4:

Yep, I suppose it is hard to type when you are paralysed with laughter. :twisted:

Hmn, I suppose once they are actually paying fees their current products will no longer be infringing but I guess that would be the time to go back to "court" for yet another judgement to get the import ban lifted. With the matter of the last eight years still unsettled it could be a waste of...

Does the EU "licence" cover all infringing patents that the US ITC ruled on tho? I agree that nV will end up paying Rambus. *nV: "Alright Mr Rambus, let's negotiate fees based on the EU mandatory rate."* *RB: "Certainly Mr nV, while you pop down to accounting & write a check for the...

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-07-26/rambus-wins-patent-fight-against-nvidia-in-u-s-agency-ruling-shares-jump.html So, "We intend to take advantage of the mandatory European Commission License that is available", basically means nV paying Rambus. EDIT: AMD up & nV down in pre market trade.
