Bitches be crazy.... :D
I have no respect for this individual. How, as a responsible journalist, can you comment about something you never researched or have no knowledge of? Just shows you the state of media in the US,
Very, very wrong. You can't compare Intel to AMD when it comes to manufacturing capacity or capability. AMD isn't even in the same ballpark when it comes to the number of fabs Intel has or their track record when it comes to nailing manufacturing processes. Die shifts are one reason behind a...
They might be having problems securing panels or maybe whoever they're buying from is having manuf issues.
Shame it isn't out yet. Starting a new job a week, be nice if I could pick one up and write it off while I'm still self-employed.
Spread that over 200,000 - 300,000 machines and tell your investors its retarded. Margins are slimmer and slimmer in the tech industry, lot of this stuff is done out of necessity. What's on the other end? Layoffs and more cutbacks... so the product manager in me understands. Doesn't get much...
He was only trying to explain why you can't use DDR/DDR2 with AMD.
Socket upgrades are a great way to ensure your revenue stream continues. Be interesting to see how DDR2 works out with AMD. Given the fact that AMD doesn't change sockets as much as Intel, I don't have an issue with an IMC.
Every OEM computer you buy these days has a ridiculous amount of bloatware on it. Why? It's an alternate revenue stream. I don't think that should come as a surprise, especially to folks at the [H].
That being said, as most others here, I either reformat OEM PCs or strip out all the crap...
Great way to expose yourself to some rather toxic chemicals. Best to avoid doing the first couple of weeks while your system burns in.
You can never have too much cooling. I always use some Papst fans, wired to 7V, Thermalright XP120 HS and a 120mm fan should serve you fine.
I see n00b is an appropriate title for you. Memory controller alone dictates the need for a new architecture. New architecture doesn't guarantee earth shattering performance increases versus the competition. It does provide a platform to address future API, app and hardware needs.
I, for...
Before you go out and buy another gig, reduce the resolution and figure out if you have stuttering at the lower resolution. If you do, could be drivers or several other things.
If you don't, RAM might be the answer, but no one can say with any certainty.
Good post and all true. Except I'd rather look at the Pros and Cons :D
It would be very shortsighted for ATI and nVIDIA to not release AGP versions because they are missing out on the biggest piece of the pie. Installed base of AGP is many orders of magnitude larger than PCI-E. ATI just...
I'm not worked up at all and could care less. I already went through my brand loyalty phase a long time ago. Not to mention, I have some experience in the industry.
What irritates me is some kid that has a high post count in 13 months that thinks speshul. LOL if anyone should be running...
Funny coming from a guy that spends way too much time on the forums and not enough time living their life. I've been on these forums a few YEARS longer than you junior (look at the join date)... might want to rethink that image ;) . Swear to god kids these days are getting stupider by the...
Sorry to unload but I'm tired of people that know nothing of business in general, the industry and technology parroting something they heard from another misinformed person that heard something from their friend's mother's sister's hair stylist's fourth cousin while they were getting a salt...
SSDD
Same Shit Different Day.
People shouldn't bother with these posts. They always erode to the point of a bunch of asshats arguing the same points that have been rehashed over and over again for... YEARS.
nVIDIA was in a similar situtation with the FX, ATI with the 8500, nVIDIA...
Good thought... but I've heard yields are OK. So my guess it isn't a manuf/supply issue. OEM business is the driver, that's where the biggest demand for PCI-e is coming from and where the money is, makes sense to orient your strategy around that channel.
Also, having been a product manager...
Underwhelmed, especially for $599. If it had 512MB, might be more impressed.
Dan, David and Kevin @ nVIDIA need to wake up and smell the coffee. Not releasing an AGP version at the same time is asinine. Installed base of AGP is too large and the delta for PCI-e vs AGP isn't significant...
As others have said, seems to me the review shows that the X800XL does pretty well against nVidia's latest $600 uber card. Don't see a problem with it.
The other thing to remember (put your thinking cap on) is the probability that the "ignorant", as you put it, will take the time or bother...
As others have said, the bottleneck is now GRAPHICS CARDS with the 2405. Expecting solid framerates with Doom3/HL2 at that resolution... use your noggin'.
Snowball's chance in hell of seeing product this year. No monitors anyway, just TVs not to mention, remember how expensive LCD's and Plasma's. Think first to market pricing.
Coupon in first post is dead as is the $45 off coupon floating around.
If anyone has any they can toss me I'd appreciate it. My Mitsu 2070u is on its last legs and I'd like to reclaim some desk space.
Piracy = breaking Da Law. So the options are going to jail or be shut out. Which sounds better to you?
Might also want to check the EULA on the game install, Steam install and Terms of Use. To be perfectly honest, I support Valve and am not going to spend time tracking down information to...
I understood your point, but I totally disagree with it. Bottom line is that if you steal from a company they have every right to terminate the ENTIRE relationship they have with you, regardless how many products you have with them. This is a simple, straightforward issue and there is no way...
What don't you understand about this? There is a key issue here you seem to be missing.
If you fuck yourself, you deserve to lose your priveleges and should be accountable for your actions, that's why people go to jail. It's that simple.
How do you avoid this? Don't fucking steal...
