that ain't no mouse, its a cat

This is gonna be mine! yeah! I have a i7 system already, but now i'll have two!

Don't forget to take out some commands in the command line. Like the "dir" and "find" command because you can use it for searching, and that would totally be against google's desktop search.

The article says he signed up for xbox live in 1995???? I didn't know it exists already then! :confused:

Looks like the Windows version adds some extra software in it, although you can probably get free equivalents in Ubuntu. However, there is no support for Ubuntu at the 409 price. What is the price if the same support that is included with Windows is tagged onto the Ubuntu system? Also as I was...

The T1 configuration is not in CCNA. You don't need to learn to configure that WIC. What you DO need is a serial port. Also, you wouldn't be able to use that single T1 port since you don't have an actual line to connect it to. However, you should be able to learn most if not all of the concepts...

How about a guide to setting up WMV HD decode acceleration? As far as I know, it does not work on my setup even though the card supposedly supports it. AMD Athlon XP 3000+ 7600GS AGP, The drivers are newer than the one you listed, but I forgot the exact one. Tried the beta and official releases...

So I've been reading all this material on the new intel cpu, but for the life of me, I can't find any references to this. Is the CPU a 64 bit cpu? Is it going to be multicore? I can't find any specific references to these questions. Any ideas?

Can people who has encountered bad capacitors on their computer list what make/model of the board that has the bad capacitor? I'm trying to see what boards have them so I can avoid buying them. I haven't checked my computer yet, but I suspect I might have a bad capacitor. Lately, my computer...

Unless nVidia fixes their purevideo on my AGP 6800GT, I am never buying nvidia again. I don't trust them anymore. I'm also not all that impressed with the 7800. I'll skip this generation and go for ATI's next next generation (after R520).

Check the refresh rate thats set on the system. Change it down to 60Hz. I know refresh rates dont matter on LCDs, but if you set the refresh rate too high on the lcd, the monitor dont work right.

all of c-media's DD encoding is done by the driver using software I believe. None of them does it in real hardware like soundstorm. However, it appears that only those two chips can do this encoding as well, so it might have special hardware circuits for doing so?

The creative solutions uses a pass-through to send the 5.1 channel DD/DTS encoded signal through the digital out. It does not encode signals into 5.1 Dolby Digital or DTS on the fly. So for DVDs, it just sends the signal directly from the DVD untouched through the digital out. All other signals...

Ok I'm doing the ebay thing and bought a Creative Inspire GD580 for 118 after shipping + tax. Its new and from Creative directly too. Hope this is a good system. Anyone have experience with this?

Nah the 530s dont got digital input. No one has any idea on any other digital speakers? I don't want to use my headphones from now on. Don't want to go analog either, I can hear a lot of noise when I crank up the volume using analog speakers. Any help would be appreciated.

My yamaha TSS-1B digital speaker broke (the receiver output to all the speakers is broken, the headphone jack and the decoding still works though). I loved these speakers, cost me only 80 when i got it. However, its time to get new ones since I can't get replacements for it anymore. I saw the...

If you have a AGP 6800/GT/Ultra or PCI-E 6800GT/Ultra, then the performance you get now is gonna be the same with any driver/software updates for WMV. mpeg-2 may be better though. For all other cards, you will get better WMV cpu utilization. Sad sad day for us early adopters, those who are...

Thank you pxc, finally someone who understands whats going on. As you can all see, pxc has very low cpu usage with his 6600GT compared to our 6800s. Obviously our 6800s are not accelerating the decode. And yes, WMV9 and WMV9HD are the same codec with different bitrates and different...

Yeah, there isn't a new WMV10 codec, windows media player 10 is just a new player, their newest codec is still WMV9 I believe. I'm not sure what ATI's All-format DTV/HDTV means, but most DTV/HDTV formats are mpeg based. Notice the TV in those formats. WMV9 HD is not used in TV transmissions...

For some reference, without video decode acceleration, AMD XP 32-bit cpus require at least the 3200+ to play the Step Into Liquid 1080p video with minimal frames dropped. There will probably still be some dropped frames and nearly 100% cpu throughout. AMD Athlon 64 cpus should all be able to...

OMG I Love HD videos. You can see individual hair strands on people. The details are awesome. Not to mention all broadcasts will become digital soon. I'm a big fan of good quality video and sound, thats why I like the HDTV. Also why I use soundstorm, dolby digital output on everything.

When did you guys with low cpu usage get your video card? Is it possible they made a new revision that fixed the problems? If so, us early adopters got screwed over.

It sure looks that way. I've read some numbers around other forums that show people with video cards other than the 6800 series have much better cpu usage rates. Either everything else is decoding at least some stuff and the 6800 none, or the 6800 is making it worse.

The athlon 64 cpus are faster so your cpu should be able to handle both clips. However, your low cpu usage probably shows that your video card is doing something for the decode. I have an athlon xp 3000+ (the 32 bit cpu) and 6800 GT, i tell you, the cpu is at 100% and frames are dropped. Lets...

The T2 video is not as cpu intensive as the Step Into liquid video. Try that one instead.

I wonder why everyone is so mum about this issue. No review sites has made any news of this issue for the past month. Did they all just give up? or is there some secret they're hiding...? hmmmm

I probably forgot to say this, but where I work, we have a whole studio for filming. Its not movie or tv business, but for internal usage. We do lots of video related stuff. I recommend these video cards to the users specifically for the video processor. But if this part of it does not work, I'm...

When i saw the new driver release, I was hoping it was the fix for the video processor, sadly it is not. So november is over and no driver fix. I guess I should stop recommending my friends to buy Nvidia.

Grow up.

Now that November is almost over (3 hours left), its time to ask the question: What is the status of the video processor on the Geforce 6800 series of cards?? Lots of rumored promises about having a driver fix being release by the end of November has gone around, but November is almost over...

go into sparring mode, press start, change the exercise mode to practice the combos. There are many moves for each character.

Interesting you mentioned that. From what I gather, Windows media player encoding is FREE and windows media streaming is bundled with the server OS, and no license fees to stream video. Can you specify what fees exactly are you talking about because I do have streaming media at work.

READ THE POSTS DANG! WE're not talking about DVDs, we're talking about Windows Media Video (WMV), what part of that do you not understand. Get yourself this WMV video and try for yourself...

Many of you are still not understanding the problem. Go read my earlier post.

I don't have an Athlon64 CPU, i have the 32-bit Athlon XP cpu.

Look guys, before we have a huge misunderstanding here, we need to clarify what the problem is. Fact: Nvidia advertised the Geforce 6800 AGP series of cards as having WMV9 decode acceleration from the beginning. Fact: Nvidia has replied to TheInq that WMV9 decode acceleration will be...

I guess my post was a bit unclear. What i meant to say is, nVidia's response to theinq says they have wmv decode on the 6600, but it implies it does not have it for the 6800 series. We all know that on nVidia's marketing material that it says 6800 DOES have it, and so we want it otherwise it...

It will NOT work with newer drivers according to nVidia's response. Read carefully, it says the 6600 has wmv decode acceleration, it does not say the 6800 has it. We want it in the 6800 series is the point. I want a replacement card, equal or better with a working video processor, if they dont...

I never had the shimmering problem until last night when I ran AAO. This was right after I cranked up all of my settings on the drivers to max quality. 16xAF, 4xAA, high quality, no optimizations. Once these were turned on, I got shimmering when I view the stats screen, not when playing though...

Creative owns 3DLabs, so whatever 3DLabs comes up with is also Creative's.
