Good deal. Google checkout is pretty nifty too.

Yes, there she is - right on the same page as this thread. Looks like its time to close up shop. /close thread

Just read this tidbit over at CNN: Look at the relative overclock they acheived with cooling down to absolute zero - 200Ghz! The article further goes on to say wireless networks built on chips using these transistors could move entire DVDs in seconds. The future looks very nice indeed.

You can always just buy used games for 30-40 dollars a shot on eBay or a game retailer.

There was some talk about AMD starting a reverse threading setup on their dual core processors, where each core handles single threaded instructions simultaneously. This was supposed to increase processor speed in single threaded apps (most games) when using dual core processors. Since this...

Sorry for another OT post, but it never really hit me until now that I'm glad we tossed the tea into the harbor. I'm not flaming - I highly regard the UK.

I think the reason games today aren't made as difficult as some NES games were is that they want to make them fun. I realize its not an MMO, but has anyone here actually seen the ending of TMNT on the NES? That isn't fun, and noone likes to be stuck in the same area for a long time because its...

I'm running it on my 22" Diamond Pro CRT and it looks as nice as any computer game on this monitor. I only wish the max res was higher than 1280*1024. Frankly the VGA cable is a bit on the expensive side though.

http://developer.nvidia.com/page/documentation.html Reading through the content on this site will probably take you into Sunday... there's info on both nVidia hardware and how to code to make use of it.

Terra's been a good contributor to this forum for much longer than you have - go kick your dog or something instead of being angry in the forum. pxc answered the last part, so there's no more to add here.

I used to WC both CPU and GPU but decided to go with air for the latest setup. I found that high-end air can give temps that are similar to decent water cooling, albeit a bit noisier. Setting up a WC line is fun, although I wouldn't bother with it again unless I had some nice (expensive) WC...

For 62.5% of the game's price no less?

A couple of days ago my dog knocked my PSP off of a coffee table onto a hardwood floor several feet below it (were talking some velocity here too). Only thing that happened was the battery and its cover flew off of it. I half expected a busted system but nothing happened to it. Its...

Desktop/notebook processors have to be x86 in order to use Windows. Both Intel and AMD also have patent-sharing agreements which allows the other company to make processors using technology/instruction sets they didn't develop themselves. IIRC this agreement goes back quite awhile to when AMD...

I'd say 2.6 is pretty safe too, provided you have efficient cooling. The FSB will need to be fairly high to reach 2.6 (~289) or higher with a 9x multiplier. I wouldn't try for 2.6 right away, but instead try to find the limits of the individual components (mobo, CPU and then RAM). You may...
