Looks nice! I want one.

Ha ha, that just made it worse. Can any one make it to where the words are Black in the light theme, and White in the green theme?? :klinked:

Gosh I am so upset with this. I will be just over the 90 days EVGA gives you to upgrade your card. P-Ode! :klinked:

How's that? Thanks, was wondering if people liked them.

New AMD Chips and Price Cuts Gabriel Ikram(Blog) - October 10, 2007 11:12 AM AMD releases its newest Athlon chips and performs its final series of price cuts before the Phenom launch AMD today released six new 45 Watt AMD Athlon and Sempron processors. This is the company's third silent launch this year. In addition to the new chips, AMD today also implemented new price cuts, further slashing the prices of its Athlon chips. The new chips and price cuts are most likely the final product releases and price cuts to take place before the Phenom debut, which will occur in late November. Each AMD product line received at least one new chip today. AMD released chips for its Athlon X2, Athlon and Sempron product lines. For its Athlon X2 line, AMD released the Athlon X2 BE-2400 chip, which operates at 2.3 GHz and 45 Watts. According to AMD guidance, the product is priced at $104 in quantities of 1,000. Previously, the fastest AMD processor with the BE moniker was the 2350, which is priced at $96 in quantities of 1,000. AMD also implemented a flurry of price cuts to its Athlon X2 brand. Eight additional price cuts were put into action today, all on the company's 65nm dual-core offerings. There are no single-core processors in AMD's desktop lineup anymore. In today's silent-launch, AMD also released two new Athlon models. The first, the AMD Athlon LE-1620 runs at 2.4GHz and comes for $53. Like all of the other processor models released today, it also has a 45 Watt TDP rating. Paying $6 less than the LE-1620 ($47) will get you an Athlon LE-1600, which features a 2.2GHz operating frequency. AMD's Semron line also received a face lift with the release of three new processors, the LE-1250, LE-1200 and LE-1100. The chips operate at 2.2GHz, 2.1GHz, and 1.9GHz respectively.

Intel Finally Hits Launch Date for X38 Express Chipset Wolfgang Hansson(Blog) - October 10, 2007 6:36 PM Intel launches X38 Express chipset with ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte mainboards ready Intel today launched its X38 Express chipset, which DailyTech has been covering for a while now. The chipset was previously known by its codename, Bearlake, and first surfaced last year. In October 2006 DailyTech broke the news that Intel would release six versions of its Bearlake chipset and that one of those six versions, the Bearlake-X, would be the X38 Express. The story behind the Intel X38 Express has been one of numerous missed launch dates. At first, it seemed that X38 would launch in time for Computex Taipei in June. Intel then set an official launch date of September 23 for the chipset. That launch date, however, was pushed back yet again. Engineers at the time cited problems with vendor microcode support as major contributors to Intel's decision to slide the date back even further. The launch date for the X38 Express chipset was then changed to October 10th, and today Intel was finally able to hit its launch target. ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI all have X38 Express-based offerings. ASUS announced today its P5E3 Deluxe, which comes with the option of an embedded install of Linux. MSI launched the X38 Diamond, which features a new Circu-Pipe cooler design; and Gigabyte launched its GA-X38-DQ6 (DDR2) and GA-X38T-DQ6 (DDR3). The main features of the Intel X38 Express chipset include support for DDR3 RAM, next generation dual 16x PCI Express 2.0, and Intel Extreme turning. The chipset has support for all current and some future Intel processors like Penryn with front side bus speeds of 800, 1066 and 1333MHz. Other interesting features include the ability to disable SATA and USB ports as needed.

G92 and RV670 are GPGPU monsters Tesla and FireStream to get double-precision number-crunching By Theo Valich: Friday, 12 October 2007, 9:37 AM ACCORDING TO THE LATEST information leaking from the Far East, both RV670 and G92 are conceptually almost identical to its predecessors R600 and G80, with one major change. This change will not affect 3D performance, so you might want to skip the talk about higher 3Dmark scores. This change touches on the GPGPU (General Purpose computing on GPUs) concept. Ever since reading a certain brilliant book named GPU Gems (Vol. 1), I've been a staunch supporter of GPGPU. Now, it seems the idea is finally coming to life, since having double-precision units is a key requirement to rely on results calculated by the GPU. We learned that G92 and RV670 are sporting dual-precision units (128, 112 or 96 to be available in G92, RV670 will have 320 units), albeit it is unknown what type of Binary Floating-Point formats are these units supporting. Who is supporting IEEE 754 format, 32-bit or 64-bit - time will tell. Tesla and FireStream cards based on these GPUs will be quite interesting, when they appear. With around 350-450 GFLOPS available per card, there is little doubt that RV670 and G92 might be the GPUs that will break out the GPGPU ghost out of the mysterious place. Truth to be told, ATI seems to have slight advantage, due to multi-GPU capabilities (CrossFire X: 2GPU, 3GPU, 4GPU setups). We'll see. ?

Graphics card, chipset release dates rounded up Masters of embargoes By Wily Ferret: Friday, 12 October 2007, 11:53 AM SO THE RELEASE DATES are flying around, moving backwards and forwards, but this is how we stand currently, as of this morning. We think: RV670 aka the Radeon HD 2950: November 19 (formerly 15). RD790 aka the Radeon Express 790FX: November 20 (formerly 5) RX780 aka the AMD 770: November 20 (formerly 5) G92 aka the GeForce 8800 GT: October 29 (formerly November 12) C72 aka the nForce 780i: November 12 C73 aka the nForce 790i: January (formerly December) C72P aka the nForce 750i: November 12 Also watch out for AMD variants (MCP72 and MCP72P) of the 780 chipset on November 12. C73 is notable as it includes support for DDR3. As it stands, the launches are mostly a week apart, with the 8800 GT coming in a little sooner. However, these are all subject to change, as embargos (and journalists) get pushed around at the whim of their PR masters. Look out for the glut of NDA-signers come launch day. ? Disclaimer, these guys have been know to spout gobble-de-gook.

I think that was the prototype they tested a year ago. On the first page, silly. :klinked: I found the DX10 article much more informative. But SSDDs are the wave of the future, and Alienware is now putting them in their gaming systems, so I thought what the heck.

These two articles are kinda lengthy but worth the read. DirectX 10 Shootout: Nvidia vs. ATI http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/10/09/directx_10_shootout/index.html Solid State Disk Drives Are Here http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/08/13/flash_based_hard_drives_cometh/index.html Some good stuff in there. Not good news, however, for ATI. :klinked:

I love curve ball! I am, however, horrible.

Neat. _

Welcome. _

I made your changes hutch, I'll see next time I start the game.

This happened in 2142 once, and it is happening now in BF2. I cannot change the screen resolution. What's up with that? The option to change it is there but when I do it doesn't say Maximizing Shaders, and when I shut the game down and start it back up the resolution is the one that I changed it from. I'm perplexed. The solution in 2142 was reinstall, but seeing as BF2 And SF are a combined 5 or 6 disks I would rather not. Any ideas?

We could play BF2 vanilla, or BF2:SF. I haven't played 2142 since I started playing BF2, it's so much more fun, I've been having a blast.

Ok I found the number on my screen. LP171W01-A4 LG 17.1" WXGA TFT LG. PHILIPS LCD LP171W01 fits HP zd7000 yes we refit the CCFL 366mm backlight Now I'm not sure what to do with it. I can't find pricing on just shipping my whole monitor to them. Or even which bulb goes with my monitor.

Party poopers.

I like it!!

He lives just down the road. He shops at all the sames stores as me!

Thanks.

We could play some BF2 somewhere. I was getting owned all day on the warishell server.

The servers are showing up red, can some one reboot them. I cannot join to get them started. Thanks.

Play with me, get ready for your scores to go through the...... floor. Ha you were hoping I would say roof, you were wrong. I make no appologies for my double posting, the two topics did not belong together. ;P

Word. It's the only real way for them to hear from alot of the members they wouldn't normally get to. And I like making people feel welcome, if they deserve it. And by making a thread like this, it helps me feel that they deserve it.
