You can't point to that $371 million figure and say that AMD can survive for years and years. Net income for those nine months was negative 1.6 billion including a $464 million hit to AR and $974 million D&A. AR can't go down forever, eventually those losses will come from cash. What is paid out...
I have an EVGA 7800 GTX + 3 GHz Core 2 Duo + 2 GB memory. After a clean install of Vista I ran 3dmark06 and found that my scores were very low, around 3100. Then I looked closer and realized that my card was staying clocked at 275 / 1300 at all times (the 2d speed setting for the card). This is...
Thanks for the suggestion, I will take the card out today and dust it off + check everything out.
Funny thing is the card wasn't overheating at all two years ago... now I check the temp and it's running like an oven!!
I just started playing games on my PC again, and I noticed artifacts and screwed up rendering in games like Bioshock. Also 3dmark06 was crashing on my with direct 3d errors. So I installed ntune to check the temperature of my GPU... 76C idle, 106C under load (right after crash)!!!
What could...
Depends on the drive, some 5400 drives are quick and some 7200 drives are dogs. See www.storagereview.com benchmarks.
Hitachi Travelstar 7K200 is the pwnage.
ok after further review it seems my problem was the power supply, 3.4C + 6800 LE = one sad 350W power supply :(
Cooling may have been a problem, but I was able to boot to windows with my 9800 Pro + 3.4C, not with my 6800 + 3.4C though. I'll be sure to order some arctic silver along with the...
Ok thanks for the help, can I just buy some thermal compound at radio shack?? Will that be good enough?
I found a site with some guy using toothpaste on his CPU!! Can I just go with the toothpaste until the AS comes in the mail/??
Hello,
I had a P4 2.4C and I just bought an OEM 3.4C, but it looks like my Retail 2.4C fan isn't doing the job. I can't get the processor to stay stable at stock speed, and even when I UNDERCLOCK the processor down to like 2.2MHz I'm still pushing 70C when I run Prime95.
Question: Are 3.4C...
Ok I've been playing around with my 325/700 stock clocked card, and here's what I've found:
1) GT bios doesn't work. I get no monitor sync at all. I guess the mem timings are too agressive...
2) Ultra bios works fine, I tried it at 400/1100 @ 1.5v, but after a few hours of 3dmark + gaming...
Heh yeah, but 700MHz mem = crap. I ran 3dmark2005 with the card out of the box and I scored just over 3100, flashed and OC'd to ultra and I got 4866... you'd have to be stupid to leave it at the 700MHz mem ;)
BTW, ZZF's site says these cards run at 1100 mem... so I guess we could return the...
Dude just flash it... we have the same cards. I ordered from ZZF Sunday, got my card today, it was 325/700 stock. I flashed to ultra bios and clocked to 401/1100 and it works great!!! $340 ultra!!!!! w00t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got my card and it's working well!!
Out of the box my card was clocked at 325/700... kind of strange.
Now it's doing 401/1100 no problems!!!!! ULTRA SPEED!!!!!!!!!!
One question: I'm flashed to the ultra bios off the CD. Is the GT bios better?? I'm scoring 4688 on 3dmark2005 with my P4...
My card is coming tomorrow, but my Antec 350w PS only has 16A on the 12V rail. Here's my system:
P4 2.4C
4 dual DDR dimms
SATA raptor
DVD burner
add on PCI NIC
floppy drive
and now a 6800 LE...
Can my PS carry the load??
I was debating if I should buy this, but I made up my mind today when the deal got hotter with that 15% off coupon. I got the base config + DVD drive + 5200 RPM 40GB disk for $920 after coupon. HOT.
When I walked into my theory of computation class on the first day, the professor said something like "Without this branch of the field, I have a hard time calling CS a science." Is software engineering a science? Obviously not. Computer architecture? It seems more like engineering to me. But in...
All the Rite Aids near my house have had 12 packs of Bass at $9.99 for the past few months, which is also pretty hot. Rite Aid always has the cheapest Liquor/Beer/Wine of any big drug/grocery store.
You are just wrong with the above statements. IMO the HP49 is WAY better than anything that TI makes, including the TI-92 because of three letters: RPN. Once you've gone RPN you'll never go back. And if you really think the HP49 is an abacus, there are thousands of people who will disagree with...
phpwebhosting.com is a really good company, I was with them for a few months. They definantly do not sell unlimited bandwidth, they say it's "unmetered". From what I understand that means if you go over 5gb by a little then that's ok, but if you start serving up 20gb every month then they will...
I just put together my new p4 1.8A + Abit BG7 box, and I'm having some problems with my fax modem. I've tried TWO different modems, one Zoom hardware PCI modem and one external Creative modem that connects to the serial port. Both of them are giving me problems: They seem to work ok for the...
A little late, but I think there are basically two reasons why Apple doesn't go x86:
1) The x86 instruction set is crap. No wait, it's worse than that: It's crap built on top of crap that's built on top of crap. Take a look at the x86 assembly code that gcc generates...it can't be understood by...
I'd be cautious before investing. The Hammer is coming out soon and everyone knows it. I'd even say that it's expected that the Hammer will outperform anything from Intel at the time it's released. Now if AMD can gain more market share with the Hammer and land some OEM deals then their stock...
I just set up my p4 1.8a + Abit BG7 system, and I'm concerned that the CPU is running a bit hot. Under load, the motherboard reports the CPU temperature as about 53 deg, and the system temperature as 35 deg. This seems way hotter than what other people are reporting. I'm running with the...
Hello,
I just got my BG7 in the mail, and I'm having problems with the black plastic mounting bracket thing. Only three of the four tacks stay stuck in the motherboard when I attach the heatsink/fan, so the heatsink isn't very tight against the CPU. Does anyone know where I can buy a new...
Hello,
Here's what I'm going to buy next week. Anyone have suggestions/comments??
- 1.8GHz .13u Boxed P4 - I'll probably get this one, it OC's to 2400 easily right?? Do you think I should get the 1.9 or 2.0GHz for a few dollars more??
- Abit TH7 DDR mobo - This is Tom's recomendation. Do you...
Oh, and if this is true then it really doesn't make much sense. The DOJ is cracking down on Microsoft right now for doing stuff like this, giving IE away for free thus forcing Netscape to give their browser away for free. This will only give MSFT's critics more of a voice...
I'll be happy if it...
This might be a hoax people. Nothing shows up on Reuters' Microsoft site:
http://www.reuters.com/quote.jhtml?ticker=MSFT.O&qtype=ric&qcat=riclist
And I don't see any news on quote.yahoo.com or slashdot or anything on usenet. If someone has a link to a story please post it.
When I got my first CC I really couldn't control myself. I just kept writing and compiling code all day without regard to food, water or hygene. Eventually I passed out due to thirst and my mom took me to the hospital.
I'm warning you guys, be careful when you get your first C compiler or you...
Anyone that can sell a gram at $5 and still make a profit should come to California because there would be about 5 million people waiting to buy at that price. $5/gram is unheard of around here. $20 is about average actually.
Rule #1: If the book isn't published by O'Reilly, it's a pile of garbage.
While this rule doesn't always hold true, nearly all non-O'Reilly books really suck. Sams seems to be the worst offender. You can find free online docs better than most of the stuff that comes out of that trash dump...
Off topic, but somethingawful is starting to really suxor these days. They are just trying too hard to be funny and it's getting old. How times can you read one of those "I hate you" pages and still laugh? And someone please tell me what kind of drugs lowtax was smoking when he thought...
Too $hort's "Invasion of the Flat Booty B*tches" has to be the most touching song I have ever heard.
"A n*gga like me, I know what's up
I need a nasty b*tch with a lot of butt
If I can't find one anywhere
It turns my dreams to nightmares"
WOW. Poetry straight from the soul.
I hate to break it to you squares, but all the "artists" you worship are sucker MC's. Eminem, Jay-Z, etc are all fake rappers who rap to fake beats and are only in it for the money. If you want to hear some real music, go buy an old school Too $hort CD or Ant Banks new tape or anything...
