    Half-Life 2 now 64-bit?

    Well, after having played for a short while, I can definitely say that I have had no "bugs" with the 4-bit HL2. However, load times are another story altogether. The load time for the beginning used to take maybe 15 seconds, now it's about 1 minute. Same thing happened with one of the "red...

    Half-Life 2 now 64-bit?

    I decided to try Half Life 2 again recently. The latest update took me some 15 minutes on a 100 Mb line. That's nothing, since HL2 takes a long time to do anything even on the best hardware. But During the load screen I noticed a new message I never saw before near the top left saying "64-bit...

    Part of the reason why Intel sucks... Poor game code.

    Ok, part of the problem with that is the fact that there isn't a single Pentium 4. There was Willamette (sp?), Northwood, and I beleive that the last ones used Prescott architectures. Each architecture is very different; optimizations for a Northwood will reduce a Prescott's performance, and...

    pixelated text (if inside a picture) on new dell laptop

    It sounds like you're using a "web accelerator" tool, or Dell pre-installed one and set it to default on. Basically its only useful on 56k modems or slower lines in making pages load faster by loading smaller sized (i. e. crummy) images. EDIT: At least thats what it seems like.

    Half-life 2 and Antimatter

    Nope, but it does get into String theory. Kalabi-Yau is the dead giveaway.

    Doesnt World of Warcraft Suck?

    Actually its kind of interesting with these games. I don't know how geographical data/play/preferences/security are set up by the developers, but there is potential for people to live off of "farming" in these games by selling $50 worth on ebay each month - subscription costs, particularly if...

    On RAM heatspreaders...

    Alright, I'll keep it in mind. But, we're not looking to change anything except the memory at this time, so changing the case/adding fans is not an option.

    On RAM heatspreaders...

    I'm looking at getting 2 sets of 2 x 512 Corsair Value Select for an upgrade for one computer. since they dont have heatspreaders, I need to know what heatspreaders would be good to get. There will be 0 overclocking, but this system does get hot (Intel + small case + poor ventilation).

    AMD or Intel? which is better for gaming?

    Mostly wrong. Intel architecture has more theoretical potential to perform more work. In practice, most of the Intel processor is wasted with nops commands. This is especially true of the Itanium, which issues nops like no tomorrow.

    Athlon64 is still the ONLY x64 processor!!!!

    Need I remind you that our old 32-bit processors are only able to "emulate" 16-bit code? It's still used in such basic components as installation programs because developers are lazy.

    How much RAM does Windows XP Pro Use?

    XP Pro-64 takes about 350 MB RAM including I-explore, so I'm not really surprised. Windows Vista is supposed to require 2 GB of RAM at minimum, HDD with Flash storage, a 128 MB video card minimum. Don't ask me why it needs all that.

    64 bit technology

    The answer is simple. Memory: 64-bit allows you to address 2^32 times more data in nominal memory Memory use: New options available for 8 byte (64-bit) fundie data types. However, there is some confusion about what is going on, but it seems to me a char is still 8 bit, but ints and...

    What's newer, Toledo or Manchester core?

    The 4200 and 4600 are Manchester, 4400 and 4800 are Toledo. The main problem with OC seems to be with the motherboards.

    Halo 2 On PC

    I personally would like to see it happen. The TV version is rather limited in terms of graphics and pixel resolution, compared to a PC even using an LCD monitor. I just won't buy consols anymore since, primarily, I'm not assured about the portability of the software. I was never a fan of...

    CPU heatsink/fan weight question...

    Aluminum heatsinks don't do that much worse than copper, maybe 2% difference at most. If you're in dire need of 2% more cooling, then I don't think it's just the CPU's HSF that's the problem. Other obvious factors are general ventilation in the case, exhaust, proximity to other hot parts (GFX...

    X2 vs WoW

    I had a wierd problem before with games skipping frames and going at warp speed, or the timer suddenly breaking and me being unable to do anything anymore until I power down for a while. Funny thing is, replacing my first replacement HSF for my motherboard with the NB47J fixed that. The issue...

    The Source engine is sweet...

    Well I do know that that particular engine isn't the best with shadows--I have shadow detail at maximum on HL2, and I've seen Striders cast their shadows not just on the ground beneath them, but also on the ground of the tunnels under them as well.

    Rome Total War Version 1.3 Patch

    I thought they said their publisher wouldn't allow any more patches? Anyway, did they fix the diplomacy/seige bug? It's just too easy that all I have to do to end a seige on my cities is tosave the game and reload; the other factions never conquer my territory.

    Odd problem stops ASUS PC Probe...

    I'm using the probe II, and it really is ASUS despite the third-party wrapper. Actually, I'm suspecting that ASUS contracted out the development of Probe II and now they're ust sitting on it.

    Odd problem stops ASUS PC Probe...

    Wow Doc, that works after all. Now I can see the effect of my upgrades, between Cool'n'Quiet, replacing the old "new" 5,400 mobo HSF with the NB47 J, my idle temps went from 36/36 to 30/34 even though I've reduced the 7700 and intake fan speeds. This thing seems to agree with the old probe and...

    Odd problem stops ASUS PC Probe...

    I can't run ASUS PC probe, and installing it doesn't install the needed DLL's to use it. There are apparently several missing, AsmiHwIo.dll is one of them. Since I'm using XP-64, anyone have any idea how to fix this? As I said, re-installation of probe doesn't help, and my disc version is...

    Alright, so aside from not having the CPU driver installed I had everything else right, and I was able to find the right driver simply by making the above change, thank you INM8!

    X2 4400+ temps

    Ok just a little addition for people like me running WIndows XP-64, if you want the right program the one INM8 shows isn't quite it--you need to change the 'amdcpu' to 'amdcpu64'.

    A8N-SLI Deluxe reboot

    I don't know for sure but I suspect that's either something to do with the HD's or memory, or how the motherboard handles these. I'm suspecting HD's though because in that split second of blue screen I can see a long list of memory addresses and hex code. I used to have similar crashes, but in...

    ASUS DROWNED my A8N-E Chipset...

    Ok, so I ordered the parts for my new computer several months ago. I get the ASUS A8N-E board, revision 2.0, so I thought great. Then when everything's here (the board being last to arrive) I put it all together. Lo and behold, my chipset fan is a 9,000 RPM screamer, I was supposed to have...

    X2 4400+ temps

    Actually, that's a very good temp. My 4200+ gave 36 idle, 48 load with stock HSF without Q-fan, but it's down to 35 idle, 44 load with the Zalman 7700 AlCu at 1500 RPM. Then again I can't get my Cool'n'Quiet to work for some reason. Could you tell me how you got yours working? EDIT...

    What's a good PS?

    It looks like those fortrons aren't very energy efficient, the difference between that (65%) and an 80 Plus certified (typically 85%) is $10 a month at least if the machine's on 24/7. And all the 80 Plus ones out now are reliable and quiet.

    Replacement ASUS fan (A8N-SLI Deluxe)

    Intel 5x faster per watt.

    Let me point out that Conroe would ONLY be 5x faster than the Northwood (which it was compared against) ONLY at running each at a specific clock cycle, because it seems a lot of you have forgotten that power useage scales nonlinearly. Therefore, someone claimed for argument's sake, purely...

    Asus a8n-e..

    There was one issue I did notice in going from BIOS 1004 to 1005. Using the latency tool that comes with CPU-Z, I saw latency to RAM increase from 125 clock cycles to about 140 clock cycles. I'm still not entirely sure why that is. I would go to the 1006 but Windows doesn't start when I...

    Asus a8n-e..

    At least it works for some people. Actually, it turns out that it does work for me on the surface--the settings now get saved, but there's something quirky going on as the FSB is set to 200 but it's actually running at 201.
