I dunno. I only have the whitepaper to go by, and nothing else. I suppose that an advantage would be power saved/module, but I am unsure if they allow per module clockscaling. All i got from the whitepaper is that it's an easier config for designers. I suppose also that trace-length would have...

Yes, but the IC supports 32-bit or 16-bit addressing, not 16bitx2, from what I understand. Patents are not always nessecarily used, although they may be filed...

I assume addressing will be the issue. With the "clamshell" mode, 2 Ic's share the same 32-bit address space, split into two. what happens when both memory controllers want to address the same IC at the same time?

As I quoted from the whitepaper, this allows configurations of both 512mb and 1024mb using the same bus interface, keeping in mind what Mintmaster said about burst-length. Yes, there may be a penalty in bandwidth, but if your controller is designed the right way, this loss of bandwidth is almost...

Um, yeah, multiple cores means that they can effectively split the datapath from 32-bit to 2x 16bit channels, for double-core(that's GDDR5 cores, BTW) designs, not double gpu designs(Quimonda referes to this as "clamshell"). Feel free to read the whitepaper @ Quimonda website to confirm, but...

You best check out Dell's latest offerings, then. XPC boxes now come with your choice of nV or ATI cards. IF they are offering them for systems, they already have "guaranteed stock" from AMD. You think Dell jsut calls up AMD "Hey, I need about 3 2600's..can you ship?" :roll: Seems you need to...

ASIO @ each mode is limited by what the processor is used for. If you want more options, only audio creation mode for you, unfortunately. This "problem" can cause all sorts of headaches when one does not know the mode has been switched, but thier repsective audio editing program requires a...

I repair my scratched discs using plain old white toothpaste. cost me $1 for enough to repair almost any scratch, thousands of times over. If you need instructions, they can be found in many places via google.

I'm with you too, geo, but not about Meyer. :runaway: Nothing to do with his work ethic, he just seems a bit soft for executive positioning. I like him better as engineer...

My son has a toy rocket that is water powered. Hydrogen burns, you only need oxygen + spark for fire....oxygen comes from water. pH(potential Hydrogen) of the water affects this reaction...the more acidic the water, the better it will work.

LoL. You've put together some great points. thanks very much for taking the time to do so. One question tho...just how good are yields currently that monolithic designs are really viable? R600 seems to be too big, following your reasoning. A hot chip that consumes alot of power, and does...

LoL. Thank you so very much for illustrating my point. This complacancy leads to idleness and a catastrophic failure of innovation. I hope you're not one of those engineers! you've just plainly stated "don't use it, and it won't leak". :roll: You've also said i'm not using the right term...

Using wiki terms, doping is used to change the band structure of the device. Those "bands" are frequency bands, FYI. Voltage differential, and it's set frequency, are physical properties of the semi-conducting "bands" of crystals. All leakage is either due to this, or an improperly aligned...

Nothing common is "prescribed" for cooling seperate elements on the same pcb. If you cannot get this through your head, then...well, there's no point in even discussing this with you. For example, it would be more than simple enough to put two seperate coolers within a single shroud, with that...

I dunno about you, but all i see out there are some highly in-efficient coolers placed on stock cards, and if this wasn't so, there wouldn't be the market of after-market cooling that there is.:yes: I don't understand your line of thought here...at all. I've got a few ideas bouncing around in my...
