    Need utility and benchmarking software suggestions please

    Hi all, About to build my first new computer in a while. Because school's been so intense, I haven't been keeping up with what's effective these days. What I'm looking for is the following... 1. A temperature monitoring utility for both the vid card and the CPU. 2. Benchmarking...

    Where are the Blu-Ray and/or HD-DVD read-only drives?

    Pioneer makes a read only BR drive, it's fairly rare at the moment, but it's out there. http://dfwdepot.com/opticstor/...t_info&products_id=258 Not sure if you can find it elsewhere, haven't started looking myself because my 7800GTX isn't HDCP. But it's starting to hit the retailers...

    Forget John Romero - XBox360 and PS3 ARE *Doomed*

    There are flaws in that line of thinking. -Consoles cannot be PC parts, because if they are, then they are PC-Lite boxes, and the prediction is true. Consoles are dead. The only difference is that the "Consoles" have become closed-box, unupgradable, PC's for the average idiot. -It's...

    ~Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD~

    Is there software for DUAL CPU from Intel? like AMD...

    What you're thinking of is a fix for timing issues. The only thing that can change core usage is an updated program from the software Dev.

    Why are dual core processors slower??

    2 cores, twice the heat. Top end of the Dual core will be lower than top end of single core due to heat dissipation, top end of Quad will be lower than Dual for the same reason.

    Why can GPU's get so much hotter than CPU's?

    Actually, the higher the temperature the more Silicon begins to conduct electricity. Silicon's semi-conductor properties decrease with heat. GPU's heat tolerance is probably more due to it's lack of onboard cache. Since it's not storing large amounts of data, the leakage isn't as big an...

    The many-worlds interpretation, quantum suicide, and living forever

    But the first problem is what is conciousness(Mind) and can it "Die". That has yet to be determined, and until it is, your postulate isn't entirely correct. If conciousness exist beyond the body ceasing to function, then technically you can't die, and you'll always be alive forever.

    Isn't conroe cheating a bit with its performance?

    No, it isn't unfair, it's the way computers work. The slowest action a computer can take is to load/store something from memory into the registers on the processor where the work takes place. It's several times slower than performing any other kind of instruction. A large part of this is...

    Do you consider thought to be a 100% physical manifestation?

    You're starting out with a significant miscalculation. Memory is stored within brain cells, memory is a collective storage of a set of information and sensory data. Memory is physical, this is effectively proven through numerous experiments demonstrating that stimulating some parts of the...

    what makes flatus smell more in the shower?

    Two processes at work here. First, steam causes sinus and bronchiole passages to clear. It's actually a method of treating Asthma that asthmetics are taught if their puffers aren't available. Clearing sinus passages increases the sense of smell. Second, "Smelling" something is actually...

    Question to those working in the computer field and nano field.

    Hi all, I'm doing a BS in Computer Science at the moment, and am planning to do a second BS as a dual major. I've currently been working at credits that would land me in the Biochemistry or Materials Chemistry BS degree along with the CS, but am unsure if there's really much demand for...

    Aside from the nervous responses, There's also a variety of different and significant hormonal responses, some of which we understand, some of which we don't. The cuddling phase, for instance, is directly related to a hormone release, and isn't targetted only at the partner. A woman will...

    Are we ever going to reach an equilibrium of sorts where CPU speed becomes irrelevent?

    Actually, this isn't true. First, budgets are already a serious problem, they're so high that if a game doesn't sell the Studio is pretty much finished. Second, there's only so far you need to take it and no further. Photorealistic is the max, and then it's done. Physics, while...

    Electrical or Mechanical engineering

    PhysX videos... seems like its not being used in the right way yet

    Actually, Consoles are about to buy the farm. Their development costs are about to spiral to the levels PC games cost, and the studios will fold just as PC studios did in the early 2000's. Only difference is, Consoles survive by volume, because the manufactuers make all of their money on...

    Ageia to debut PhysX "physics processing unit" for gamers

    Funniest quote ever! From http://gear.ign.com/articles/697/697767p1.html Somebody doesn't realize that Soundblaster has been replaced by integrated sound on the vast majority of computers!

    Ageia to debut PhysX "physics processing unit" for gamers

    I'll end up getting one. IMO, it's a far better purchase than SLI. Vid card prices are getting ridiculous these days, and now they want everyone to buy two?

    More AM2 Benchmarks

    Are AMD's bandwidth starved? I thought AMD's had plenty of headroom on bandwidth because they were more sensitive to latency. The benches I've seen seem to bear that out, If you drop from CAS 2 to 2.5 you've gotta move up quite a few mhz with DDR to make that up. Aren't DDR2's at like...

    Ageia? Screw them, nVidia comes to the rescue!

    I've gotta say, I'd much rather drop 150-200$ for a PPU than another 450$ for another GPU. If this is how the vid card manufacturers are going to tackle the market, PPU will win, assuming of course some kind of dedicated physics processing becomes standard.

    Anyone remember that lighting thing that connects to a computer?

    Was in the news a few months ago, some electronics company was making it. It was a "Tower light" that plugged into the computer and changed colors/intensity based upon the action in the game. Sounded mildly interesting depending on pricing, but I haven't heard anything since. Anyone...

    HDCP Fiasco

    Of course, OTOH, you can't compare Music with Movies. For most people, Music is something you listen to many times over, but Movies are something you watch once and don't watch again. Equally of value is that some portion of those downloads would've been rentals which shops would've...

    HDCP Fiasco

    As an experiment, to drive a point home, the other day I did some research into piracy via torrenting. The end result was, for just 15 movies, a little over 7,000,000 downloads at a loss of well over 140,000,000$. From just one site that tracks downloads over life. If I added up the...

    Will I benefit from Dual Core for gaming any time soon?

    The x2 4200+ can also easily crack 2400mhz on stock cooling/voltage, and in the newer games that are dual core aware the performance difference is pretty huge. Single core may be faster for the moment, but I'd bet by years end single core will be noticably slower on many games and in Vista...

    THis is so freakin weak

    I too avoid the generic/value ram. IMO, you get what you pay for. Not taking a poke at you, it's just always been my mantra that there's a direct correlation between price and performace/quality. Ony thing I can suggest, back off the timings in bios if you can. Might decrease the power...

    Speaker Question

    Potentially over time it'll break the copper wiring. Copper's not all that strong, wrapping it up in circles, or putting something on it, over time will probably break it. Even if the desk doesn't move, or seem to be moving, it's weight shifts intermittently. The simple act of...

    Eek! Scary noise

    Failing head, it's getting stuck trying to read a certain part of the drive, restart makes it return to a good section. Probably somewhere that virtual memory is being written to randomly, so it'd occur randomly. It'll eventually spread. Back up the data, and replace as soon as you are able.

    Diablo II crashing error on new system

    Patch it first and copy the music file to your directory. Original shipping version of D2 had a poor implementation of copy protection on the CD that made it unreadable by some models of drives. It was insidious though, as it'd look like it installed properly, but sometimes files would be...

    buying X2 4400 soon, is the fan\heatsink combo that come with it good enough cooling?

    I'm running a 4200+ with stock cooling. I can crack 2.43?ghz with an idle of 38 and a load of 48 with no appriciable increase in noise. That's stock voltage as well. Haven't tried to push farther, but I suspect I can get a little more out of it.

    A problem I cannot remedy.....

    Chipset drivers are causing a conflict with something. Agreed with above poster, look to the Soundcard, most likely source of conflict. Probably something in the drivers trying to move into an IRQ that the Audigy is taking. Try moving it to a different slot, as most mobo's assign IRQ's...

    which power supply is best for

    I'm using the 430w Seasonic with a 4200+ and a 7800GTX without a single problem. If fact, I've oc'd it to 2400+mhz and been perfectly stable, even under heavy graphics load. 430 is more than enough if you don't intend to SLI or do huge OCing.

    Is it just me, or is it unimaginable to NOT have Steam nowadays?

    I like the theory behind Steam, but I think the implementation is flawed. Steam could've been the Google of gaming, a simple, easy to use, non-intrusive gateway to games of all sorts from many different developers. But to do so, Steam would've had to bucked the traditional...

    Inserting CD in CD Writer boots the system

    My guess. Insufficient power supply, bad drivers, or problem in the Bios settings. Some PCI settings can do that, can't remember the exact one but it was a PCI 2.1 requirement. Maybe it was Delayed Transactions...

    how long do you think SATA will last?

    That's true. As long as they're able to boost the path no matter what SATA would be sufficient, provided no new tech is needed. I guess I went slightly OT with the stuff on drive speed. We still need something new though...

    Intelligence

    what did i do wrong??

    You've either got the drives in the wrong order on the cables and/or the jumpers on the drives setup incorrectly. If you've got them set to cable select, you just need to reorder the cables, otherwise you're going to have to juggle to get them straight. Btw, make sure you don't put both...

    how long do you think SATA will last?

    Not going to happen anytime soon. Drive technology is at a standstill. Speeds for CD/DVD drives have been hanging around the same range for years now, and HD's aren't boosting their speed in any significant amount and haven't in years. Honestly, the difference in bootup speed between my...

    PC Takes Over 15 Minutes To Boot

    What's starting up in the msconfig? It's entirely possible that some "allowed" items in the Msconfig could do it, especially if there's something indexing or scanning your HD every time. Do msconfig and start pulling out unnecessary startup items and services. Alot of the stuff that goes...
