I have an external hard drive for personal use that I need for a class. The class only uses Macs however, and programs that apparently "do not like PC hard drives." I was wondering how I could take the existing free gigabytes on my PC external drive and partition them for use on a Mac. My...

Thanks!

Can you clarify just how I can "take ownership?" I really need to have a working external hard drive by the end of the week.

I just recently moved residences and I've been trying to get my external hard drive working. Windows detects everything fine and all the files are visible in the file browser. However, all of the files are being denied access by Windows, I can see them all there but cant open any of them...

As an alternative to the 6600, an X700 would serve you quite nicely as well if you can find one for a good price.

What the hell was that? If you want to scold me for still having AGP, leave it for smacktards on the forums. I expect the review to give us real numbers. Why not compare the 7800GS to an X800 Pro or 6800 GS? Why not give us some real benchmarks, would you just eyeball a rough guess as to...

My 19" CRT does that resolution and then some, you don't need an expensive LCD.

Since I don't care much for excess, I would never want dual GPU configs, so the choice is easily X1900, a much superior card by itself.

As I recall from the Hexus review, the XTX is only marginally faster than the XT. Depending on how much you value your cash, I personally couldn't justify spending the extra $100 on a minor performance increase that's probably achievable through overclocking.

X1600's are comparable to Radeon 9800's I thought. If you want good Doom 3 performance, go with an nVidia 6800 NU (Although pushing for the GS would be well worth the extra moola) or look at an X800 Pro'ish level card for ATi. Realistically though, even with that great CPU you'd be hard...

Why isn't the upcoming 7800 AGP all over this board?

ttt

DDR2's biggest benefit isn't that it's faster, because it really isn't by much. The major benefit comes from the power savings. DDR1 runs at 2.7v, DDR2 runs at 1.8v.

I don't consider myself stuck at all, my videocard is running fine.

ATi won't get anywhere if they don't nail the actual market for their products. They can sell a ton of X1800XT's but as long as they're getting their asses beaten to the wall in the integrated and sub-$100 videocard market, they're going to run out of money for the R&D costs on these super...

Regardless of MSRP, you can expect them to be around the $600-$700 mark when they get released to the public.

My 5600 Ultra probably isn't even capable of running 06...

Pm'ed.

BFG really hasn't been doing so hot on these forums lately.

9800XT was the drool-inducer back in my first days of buying computer parts. Then the Unreal 3 engine started coming out wayyy before the game ever showed up running on the mysterious nVidia 6xxx series hardware. At this point ATI was the only solution and you were a fool if you wasted money on...

I, and I'm sure everyone else, clicked this to see some Physx demos, so pay up for wasting our time! :P

It's probably a scam of somesort. They probably send you a plain or modded X1800XT or nothing at all. I wouldn't bother getting too excited over this.

While were answering this guys questions, anyone want to tell me what next months winning lotto numbers will be as well?

Interesting VGA coolers, they look like they blow the hot air onto the motherboard?

Seems like they're just trying to make the naming scheme as similar to the "GTX" monicker as possible with this "XTX" stuff. I personally think that a simpler more elegant naming scheme would benefit them more, like they used with the X1800's: XL and XT followed by XT:PE (Phantom Edition).

Now that the Presler EE is in town, AMD's superiority is cut back alittle. At least, in the workstation area, AMD still absolutely decimates Intel in gaming with it's old-fashioned single core FX-57. But keep in mind Intel is winding up for a serious punch this year with 65nm dual core CPU's...

If you're just going to get one card, I'd reccomend the X1800XT. Runs cooler, overclocks better, and is simply a better-engineered piece of hardware in my opinion. If you're the type that upgrades every 6 months and cares obsessively about their E-PenisMark05 score, then I suppose one can...

I've been waiting so long for a thread like this to come along. Intel's roadmap is confusing as hell to anyone whose been under the AMD rock all this time, but this clears everything up. I remember almost 2 years ago hearing about Merom and it's others similar Intel CPU's and amazingly fast...

Didn't know they made G5's with quad processing, knew they were watercooled though.

9600XT easily.

Anymore word on the future of the FX line? I didn't feel like starting a new thread and this is the first thing that came up in search.

If I recall correctly there was a F4t4l1ty Gamer Edition X800XL 512mb card, however I don't remember if it was AGP or PCI-Express. But why would you want to waste your money?

It'll be interesting to see how ATI fairs, they hold strong with more innovative memory management and design schemes despite having less pipelines. So now they they will have just as many pipes, compound that with the excellently designed X1k series, the X1900 should be very very fast.

I'd say don't worry about a score you recieve in a synthetic benchmark program.

Link to this 6800 XT model?

Watercooling a 9550? Now I've heard everything....

Paper-launch anyone? And damn do I love always seeing the FX-57 smoke everything else in gaming tests, it just never gets old how fast that thing is.

X1800's seem technologically superior, but the 7800's are unmatched in brute power. I'd say go with whichever is cheaper, they're both so close in performance it won't matter too much.

I thought they were only making the AIW X1k brand cards on the X1300's.
