    AMD's future technology name

    Yeah after the recent stuff about not only Ferrari, but Toyota, and now Red Bull + Toro Rosso threatening to pull out, it's just B.S. Pinnacle of motorsport, my ass! I mean, the field of 20 cars is already too low, imagine a whole season of 2005 US GPs!

    This thread is about the naming convention of AMD CPU architectures.

    AMD's future technology name

    Wow Shawn you just exposed yourself as being way more ignorant than the AMD execs. Do yourself a favor and look up the difference between F1 (aka Formula One) and NASCAR. Coming up next: The VIA Talladega chipset.

    AMD's future technology name

    Yep. 130R FTW! I know this isn't supposed to be a "Formula Uhn" thread but here's the sched: http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/schedule?seriesId=6 It sounds a little ponderous but how about some new crazy technology called "Nurburgring?" The old, big one, too! Not the new shit. LOL

    AMD's future technology name

    That song gives me chills every time. Thanks for that. Idontcare--I'm just talking about the naming conventions. Not that it matters much in the end but I'd rather have a Sepang or a Monza in my computer. Though I must admit, I do like the Barcelona name, just not the fact that it has...

    AMD's future technology name

    Why didn't they name them after good and/or interesting tracks? Also, words that are cooler? Like Sepang, Monaco, Monza, Suzuka, Spa? What a bunch of retards.

    AMD's future technology name

    Barcelona was named after the most boring circuit on the F1 calendar (and coming up this weekend, incidentally)? How lame.

    AMD's future technology name

    Is their upcoming server chip technology really named after the famous Formula 1 Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours? Wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magny_Cours If so, it's kind of strangely apropos, cos the track was excluded from Formula 1 starting in 2009. :(

    Using the case to aid in cooling

    I've been wondering for a while now...I have these big cases that are fairly thick metal. I like to OC and I notice that the damn cases aren't even getting that warm. I've seen some innovative cases that are designed to help wick the heat away from parts of the mobo and CPU. I guess it's...

    If practical superconductors were available

    Cos the enemy would know exactly where to point their missles! However, if you really could centralize, why do it in Nebraska when you could do it in Saskatoon or Fairbanks or even near one of the poles? That also would presumably save money.

    SAMSUNG Spinpoint F1 750GB

    Looks like they jacked it back up to $140 (I say "back up" because at one point they were $150).

    I attended a Microsoft High Performance Computing summit

    By freebies I assume you mean SWAG--No. This event was at a level beyond that. People were spending hundreds of dollars just to attend. Exposure to the wild world of HPC and getting to meet/see people that have had a career path that is the stuff of dreams was worth it. I know we were...

    I attended a Microsoft High Performance Computing summit

    So the most recent Microsoft High Performance Computing Summit was held near me, and I just signed up as a partner, I had nothing else scheduled, so I went. The whole thing focused on parallel computing. I used to work for a prominent organization that would benefit greatly from...

    finished lapping my Q6600 (with pics and results)

    Copper doesn't oxidize fast like aluminum. With Al a microcoating of Aluminum oxide forms instantly with contact with air. Copper will gradually form a patina but not instantaneously as it's not as reactive. However nickel oxidizes the least of all, that's what galvanized/outdoor fasteners...

    Free MS Office Professional 2007

    I went to one and it was like a cult or something. I had to bold after about an hour because I honestly couldn't remember what the freebie at the end was, and just one hour in I was dying for a break. They had a nice spread though--pastries, coffee, fresh fruit. There was just no redeeming...

    Free MS Office Professional 2007

    I think I'll try one of these out just to see what kind of crowd is there, just check out the scene you know? No expectations, maybe I'll meet a few people, maybe learn a few things, maybe network a bit, and maybe I'll walk out after the first hour. No pressure, man.

    (Dead) Dynex ATX Mid-Tower PC Case with 500W PSU, $19.99 at Best Buy, in store only

    Thanks for understanding. I know this isn't the forum for venting, but it just seems like every time I decide to give BB "another chance" I just end up getting madder. I am mostly just mad at myself.

    Warning, vitriol ahead. I fVck1nG HATE Best Buy! I usually stay away from the BB deals, but I guess every few months the sour feeling fades, and greed takes over.... I go to the store, run across the lazy, incompetent staff, hidebound by the labyrinthine bureaucracy that only a huge...

    Older GPU water cooling blocks on clearance at MicroCenter

    Oh OK, I think I misunderstood the scale of the blocks--I thought the size was on the order of 1"x1", and it was a matter of the hole pattern in the PCB right near the chip. Thanks for the post.

    Intel Boxed Core 2 Duo Processor E8400 $199 at Micorcenter.com

    q6600 @ microcenter

    n/m The sales rep has to walk you up to the register if you're buying a CPU, have done that walk a few times. From my limited observations, I get a strong impression that the supervisors are assholes. That factor alone can really drive shrink rates.

    q6600 @ microcenter

    I dunno. Seems like a lot of window shoppers. Also really, really long waits at the cheesy "bar" for service, even though it seems there's hardly anyone there. What is shrink rate?

    q6600 @ microcenter

    If I wasn't about to go out of town I'd offer to ship them to people for like $225 a pop or something. If there's any interest, maybe when I get back. I live about 10 mins from the Rockville location.

    Which is the next big financial institution to go?

    You know, even rumors like that about LEH, even if they're not true, can cause liquidity to dry up and send them into a tailspin. At the same time that counterparties are doubting LEH, the Fed is whispering in everybody's ear to keep spreading the money around, don't leave anyone out, there's...

    Which is the next big financial institution to go?

    OK, you're down for WM. Also note, the class is "Financial Institutions." So Broker Dealers and Insurance Companies are also fair game. Doesn't have to be a bank. C'mon guys, there are a lot more of these out there, I bet the next one to go hasn't even been mentioned yet!

    Which is the next big financial institution to go?

    Ooh, bond & title insurance! Yeah they'll take a bath, but hey looks like AMBAC is only a $23B company: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bs?s=ABK&annual We're looking for bigger companuies (>$100B in assets).
