LOL - I didn't mean to imply that Ford buying Volvo was a good thing. It was just a comment with regard to an earlier concern about hauling American clients around. Given that some Hondas and Toyotas are built in Alabama or somewhere, Golfs come from Mexico, and Saab is a GM company, the...

You could look into the Volvo S60 2.4T AWD. Not the most sprty of options, but you do get most of your requirements (AWD, folding rear seats, 4DR, <$35K, Nav system). I'm not sure about bluetooth. It will also likely have the least 'foreign car' stigma. Plus, you can always say that...

I think the best way to think of these circuits is the need to move little bits of charge around. If you need to charge a gate through a resistance R with a voltage V, then your charge current is I=V/R. For the sake of argument, say you need to move a charge C on or off a gate. The time it...

Now if they had someone dressed up like Dawn, and ran a contest seeing who could remove her clothing using only their computer, it would have been good marketing :)

Just thought this was an interesting quote from this article, from the man himself Hmm...the Best Graphics Processor of 2002 is a screw-up, huh :) P.S. I know screwing up launch execution doesn't really have any bearing on the technical merits of the GPU itself, but its still ironic.

Very strange review indeed. I can't go so far as to call it biased, due to the conclusion, but very poorly executed. Why were results from an OC'ed 5800 included in some of the tests, and not others. If OC'ed results were included to demonstrate 'potential' of the 5800, then why were no OC'ed...

Ah, sorry Russ, my apologies. Won't happen again. I guess I've just been reading too many of these boards the last few days, and forgot I was posting on one of the few where civility and tolerance are actually maintained.

First time chime! NVidia is in damage control mode. And NVidiots are simply in denial. FACT: At each price point, ATI products perform at par with their NVidia counterparts both in 3DMark2001 and existing DX7/8 games. 9500+ cards actually surpass NVidia offerings when AA and AF are used...
