    When do you think AMD will start manufacturing its GPUs itself?

    65nm gpus on AMD's process means they have to be converted to SOI, which means delay. But if they are going to integrate they will have to try this out sometime, and if I were then I would be doing testing on it now. They are limited capacity wise, so it would have to be profitable, as in low...

    EEPROM Protected Program

    Could have part of the program stored on the eeprom, it loads the code and runs it. Sprinkle throughout the binary. Add some self modifying bits and xor the works. :)

    [H] reviews the KillerNIC...

    A hardware way to use a linux network stack instead of windows? Interesting, if rather sad comment on the state of the Windows stack, lol. Uhm, seems to me a software solution could do much of the same thing, just replace the windows stack. Only diff is the offloading of the computer for a task...

    will multicore take over 3d rendering?

    Sounds kinda nifty, imagine a board that looks like it only has ram on it, one large flat heatsink for the works. I wouldn't want to have to deal with routing and whatever special drivers would have to be made up to deal with it. They need the performance, but eating the cost of bad mammoth...

    Vista Pricing

    I wish MS would just have one operating system to sell and support, would make life easier for developers and users. 32bit and 64 bit should be in the one distribution, you shouldn't have to choose which one to buy.

    "Will ATI Be Broken Up?"

    Wish the sky would quit falling, it's giving me a headache. :)

    The AMD/ATI "Fusion" CPU/GPU Discussion

    All I could gleam from various sites is that they want something done in 2 years, the gpu on die would be an extension to x86, (aka the real 3DNow!), the video output would be digital from the c/gpu and any analog bits would be on mb or riser card. It would also use the memory crossbar of...

    Windows Vista RC2 (Build 5744.16384.061003-1945) available for DL

    Oh, I've read all about what's supposed to be improved and fixed, watched a few presentations about things like the I/O model adding a way to cancel a transaction etc, and yes it's a beta, well release candidate 2, still I will have to use it extensively to see if anything really was fixed. 90%...

    Windows Vista RC2 (Build 5744.16384.061003-1945) available for DL

    All I want to know is exactly what is improved with vista. What can it do for me other than a change in the gui, the presentations I've watched say this and that are fixed, but I found examples where it wasn't fixed in 5 mins of install. They spent years working on it, I just want to see some...

    Windows Vista RC2 (Build 5744.16384.061003-1945) available for DL

    Upgraded to supra ultimate whizbang, (said upgrade may take several hours, must have been a joke) basically it adds translucent window borders and preview on the taskbar and that alt tab with the 3d scrolling. Uhm, $500 cdn ($300 cdn upgrade)? Window Blinds $49.99. 10.3GB, 51976 files, 10.254...

    I don't like seeing things like bootsect.bak, myself. :)

    Windows Vista RC2 (Build 5744.16384.061003-1945) available for DL

    I would like an accounting of what that 10GB consists of, it's generally not a good sign in software when it gets 5 times bigger and has nothing to show for it. Are they making it easier for viruses to hide? :) I have little interest in ultimate sx gx sfx supra premium anything, I was just...

    Windows Vista RC2 (Build 5744.16384.061003-1945) available for DL

    I wanted to see what most people would be looking at when it comes to vista, few will be paying extra $$$ for vista ultimate. :)
