    Too much AA?

    Is there such a thing as too much AA? While looking to AMD's Edge Detect I ran across a discussion regarding too much AA leading to blurring, with the individual posting pictures of the trees from a game to show this...

    Getting 4GB RAM sticks in the UK

    No, I run with 8GB since it didn't appear that 4GB DDR2 sticks would exist. I suspect DDR3 will see them eventually though. It run stable, though I had to undervolt the northbridge from v1.10 to v1.05 to get it to resume from sleep without blue screening. It passes Windows Memory Diagnostics...

    Getting 4GB RAM sticks in the UK

    Don't worry, that's the VERY memory I ordered 4 of, making the same shameful mistake. Alas, I didn't notice until it arrived so now I get the joy of ordering more memory and going through the returns process :)

    Getting 4GB RAM sticks in the UK

    My board can handle up to 16GB of RAM, and being the obnoxious git that I am I want to fill it with 16GB of RAM, since it already has the best graphics card I can give it and the top-end dual-core processor it supports... so why not the RAM too? Plus I'm a nerd and I want to see what Vista's...

    New laptop advice

    You won't get a light laptop with this screen size. I'd consider light to be something <2Kg, but anything with this screen with be ~2.5K. If you want portable look at the 13" wide-screen laptops.

    Time to replace my rig

    I can't take it any more, my Pentium IV 3Ghz is just too slow for the modern world. I tried to prolong the life of my box by swapping the Radeon 9800 Pro for a Radeon X1950 Pro AGP, but the CPU is too much of a bottleneck and AGP is end-of-life, so it's time for the system to be taken out back...

    Or just throw in a USB stick and turn on ReadyBoost.

    Vista rant ---- MS must dump it...

    So... you bought a laptop which shipped with an OS on it that doesn't run well... and you're blaming the OS? WTF? If it runs like shit return the damn laptop and ask them WTF they're doing selling something that doesn't appear able to run the thing they're selling it with!

    Vista rant ---- MS must dump it...

    But most of the time, you don't. Go to an OEM and buy a machine with Linux pre-installed, it doesn't cost any less. The average consumer is paying no more or less for Linux.

    Vista rant ---- MS must dump it...

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932795 I'm running Windows Vista 64bit on my Dell M1330, and apart from the lousy support of 64bit by Dell (fixed by this thread) it has been 100% smooth sailing. Folder virtualisation, combined with the new start menu design, means I don't really need to worry...

    Vista rant ---- MS must dump it...

    So if Vista crashed on your PC, Vista is broken? Let's not be ridiculous here. Indexing didn't finish on your PC and refuses to. There's a problem. That doesn't mean indexing is broken.

    So... are you stalling or what? Let's have some arguable points here, please.

    CryTek vs. id & Valve

    Ten seconds of that were enough to make me cry for mercy.
