Actually, the document goes on to explain why cheating in general is bad. For those of you who still think that as long as it works in games, you should read the article and see if you agree with the following points. 1. This cheat can be implemented for game benchmarks. (Remember Game bench...

Will the 5900ULTRA review ever be fixed?

Thought They (NV PR dept) had the same if not better opinion of 5800 (aka flow FX). Wasn't it hailed as the 2nd coming of new dawn of video cards?

Nvidia Busted-Cheating With Their New FX Drivers

IMHO, this is probably not a big deal until NV made it a big deal by NOT telling us before hand. The perception is that they tried to cheat in order to get a higher score in 3DSysmark and frankly it doesn't look good especially with what has happened past few month. The truly sad thing is that...

MSNBC breaking news (tv no link yet) 3 men arrested in canada with large cache of illegal arms en route to alaska

Anyone play Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance for PS2?

I have the game and to be honest, it's just another rehash of all the others. Not great, not bad, but probably not worth the money they charge for it. I liked Soul Calibur 2 much better. But I guess it really depends on the type of game your are into.

Well consider the price, FX Ultra $400 +, you have to buy online as there is no retail stores that have it. (last I heard, correct me if I am wrong) Radeon 9700Pro $299 at big retail stores (Circuit City, Best Buy and so on). You may find it cheaper if you go online. Performance, With AA +...

If you were to spend up to $170 on a video card which would it be?

Actually, 9500 Non Pro differs from the Pro version due to lack of 4 pipelines. Infact, attempts to enable 8 pipelines has produced mixed results indicating that when some R300 Core has say some faulty pipeline, it gets marked down as a Non pro part. This is similar to what CPU makers do...

There is a big difference between fighting in the mid 80's and fighting now days. Even in 91, the US's weaponary is no where near what is it capable of now. Factor in the difference in terms of the objective of the two countries, you have a much different type of resistence. If America's...

Just because they oppose the war does not mean they support Saddam. It is farily obvious that most if not all people here in North America agrees that world will be a better place without Saddam. The antiwar faction, just wanted a different way to remove him. That's all.
