    I can't feel my toes.

    Dig you can do a pin prick test to see if you have feeling in your toes and; you can use things that are dull to test sensations such as a pencil eraser. To test for circulation-pinch your finger and see how fast it blushes/ Then try this out on your toes and see how long it takes for the toes...

    Anand has the details about r520,rv530,rv515

    Dave any idea on the 1080P decoding. Will this chip pass 1080p at 24 and 30 and 60 frames per second. As you mentioned there is no industry standard yet but some or the new HDTV sets will accept at 24. (Hewlitt Packard)

    R520 benchmarks - Hardware Analysis

    There are still a lot of questions that still are unanswered. And as Sassen is unwilling to give us information about what the card actually tested then he should not be surprised that his information is seen as unreliable. Why did you write ATI; that a test on their card would lower the...

    Seattle as a vacation destination

    It is a beautiful city. I am here for a week of and was spending a few minutes on the net waiting for my wife before we head down to Pike street for some fresh fish. Russ the sailing around the San Jauns is some of the best. Lots of places to put up. We live in a small town on the way to Mt...

    I'm now scared of gays

    Your experience is so much like mine Reverend. Fresh back from Nam and in Nursing school. All the men in that core are listed and we were fresh meat for the gays; since a higher than normal percentage of us were assumed to be not straight. Got a call from a guy who had seen me on campus...

    * An inspiration on what is dark energy...

    I recently move to the High Dessert in Eastern Washington and the Black night sky has rekindled my love of Astronomy. I like the subject and the basic premise. Will need to get up to speed on this. I also thought that the background radiation was not evenely distributed and this would lead me...

    NV40 Test samples, pics inside

    From the picture it looks to be venting into the case and added 120Watts to the heat mix of the case just does not fit with cooling. Could this card be sitting in a coved area and actually have more of this sink on the back side taking more heat from the rear of the card. At least that would...

    Dell 3.06 8300 w/ ATI 9800 bundle

    I did not realize Dell had altered their practices; The last one I helped a friend with was just a couple of months ago but the box was over 2 years old. Getting everything to work and configured properly with the old Dell hardware to a new box was often frustatrating but an entertaining...

    Dell 3.06 8300 w/ ATI 9800 bundle

    Grall does make a point. When you do change MB's just toss your box and PSU. IF you want to reuse your Hard drive do a /MBR and then a Low Level format. Dell probably linked in some way the settings on the DVD and CDRW's but with a little conductive grease and new cables you can probably put...

    Dell 3.06 8300 w/ ATI 9800 bundle

    It sounds to be and excellent buy; especially if the MB allows hyperthreading. Do not worry about the PSU; Dell tests the machines and the Power supply to the rails thoroughly. The socket for the power leads will most likely be proprietary and you will not be able to upgrade to a more powerful...

    A B3D Forums recommends List?

    A big no vote from a forever learning lurker. This would change the nature of the forums here. The discussions do often get heated and with the input of a million card users who bought the cards based on the word of B3D they would be heated spam. There are many of us hidden lurkers beneath...
