Hello All, <much rambling ahead> (sorry, my 6600GT is getting a bit long in the tooth, my games I own but can't play are increasing, and I like the idea of PhysX, and I am cheap) =) I was wondering if there was info info on how Nvidia is going to implement Ageia va CUDA. It looks like...

Hello All, I read an article on hardocp that talked about DX9 and DX10. On the second page it states that DX9 has a "small batch problem" that makes it so that only about 500 objects can be on one frame at a time. Is this true? If this is true, then Ageia will not be able to show tons of...

Hello All, I would love to see 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB benchmarks done. With the 4GB it would be cool to run SuperCache II http://www.superspeed.com/desktop/supercache.php to use some of that extra. You can enable lazy writes which should is not a big deal when I play games. I would think...

Hello All, Prices just dropped and some of us got thinking. It would be cool to fire up a MSI K8N Master2-FAR ($249) with daul 265 Opterons ($345). For not much money (well, sorta) you could snag a quasi-quad core now. Lots of room for lots-o RAM. Not too excited about SLI. Only 1 1x...

zeckensack, Thank you so much for the info! =) Dr. Ffreeze drffreeze.net

Hello All, I had a few quick questions. I found it interesting that the x1900 had 3:1 ALU:TMU ratio and was wondering when midrange $200 card would have the same (2:1 or 3:1). Then I thought about the whole unified shader Vista thing and wondered if we had time for another round of...

perspective =)

Hi All, I have been thinking about making one of these for a while but was concerned about the mineral buildup but it looks like someone is already marketing these. It is a mister for your AC and I think it should help quite a lot. I live in the high desert of Idaho so we have very low...

swaaye, That didn't sound right so I did some checking. I would guess that you are using a digital audio out? If so, then you would have to use CMSS to upmix to AC3. I just use RCA outs and have no problems with HRTF in games with no CMSS enabled on my Audigy 2 ZS. Sound From Front...

new info on the X-Fi link I despise their first chart, but the performance looks good non the less.

mkillio, I went from a Live! 5.1 to an Audigy 2 ZS and love it. The Audigy is much faster when I use 3D audio (always). I was amazed at how much faster Giants was with the new card. =) YMMV

digi, Hmm, so you try and not deny yourself. Haha. Way to build character. =p

Guden Oden, Sorry, I am just trying to see why all the excitement is for. I have not burnt a CD in years, and my new DVD burner has not been used yet. Once I get a camcorder, I will be making family videos but until then it just kind of sits there. =) Oh, if your DVDRAM can back up...

All, I was wondering that too. Why do you write all those DVDs? Why would you use a rewritable DVD often? Just wondering,

Sweet tech! PS. Is that picture HD rendered or just dumb bloom? =p
