Comments:
<0> right to the firewire card installed
<0> smish: not the newer ones
<0> the old ones ****ed
<0> the newer ones are different, apple fixed the imcompatibilities
<0> alot of which were electrical
<0> incompatibilites*
<0> my new ipod, that i had rma'd and replaced is great....
<1> _mre: since you know firewire and ipods
<1> i've got 2 firewire ports
<0> i only know because i own an ipod
<0> heh
<0> not because i hate them
<1> the one on my mobo (disabled in bios right now) and the one on my audigy 2 ZS
<1> i'm using the audigy one right now
<0> salec: use a USB2.0 port
<0> it's faster
<1> actually
<0> and more reliable under windoze
<1> i've had the opposite
<1> i get a HUGE performance increase when transfering files over to my ipod (i use it as a flash drive for work hehe)
<2> audigy 1 > onboard sound
<2> thats for damn sure
<0> yeah
<0> that's a nobrainer
<0> i have a audigy2 on my homesystem, but i use the usb2.0 off my motherboard to xfer music to my ipod
<0> i just trust it more
<0> i don't trust firewire after i saw what happened to that client's system i worked on
<0> it was ****ed up
<2> im getting an maudio when i sell both audigy 1 w/lvie drive and remote kits that i have
<0> atleast on my personal systems
<1> sigh i miss that on my sb live plat
<1> i wish i could use my live drive on my audigy 2 zs gamer
<0> but then again... my main system has onboard firewire as well as onboard usb2.0
<1> lol
<1> _mre: is the onboard firewire stronger than audigy's?
<0> salec: not really... it all goes through the pci bus
<1> k
<0> it's all given the same priority by the system, as long as it's installed right
<3> heh 1080p implies what sort of resolution?
<0> Psyche`: hah... i owe them alot
<0> hehe
<4> lol
<0> need to pay Travelers like $150 before i leave town
<0> for my insurance
<0> so if this place burns down i can collect
<0> heh
<3> lol
<2> dont be dumb pitz
<3> smish, answer me.
<0> Psyche`: you coming up for the 500?
<0> it's in 10 days!!!
<2> 1920x1080 @ 60fps <DUH
<0> our condo in kissimee is ***ured
<0> paid for
<3> thank you smish.
<3> lol
<3> florida is geigh
<0> pitz_: not in winter
<0> heh
<3> costa rica is where the action's at.
<5> _mre|666: I used firewire as my main hard drive interface for over a year with no problems :)
<0> i'm in ohio bro
<5> If you want to sustain 50MB/sec... firewire.
<0> dupper: i'm talking about older systems... the system i worked on that it fried was an older del
<0> dell
<0> 2nd generation p4s
<0> right when they switched over to socket 478
<5> the system I used was that laptop I told you about connected to an IDE 3.5" enclosure via firewire
<5> P3
<0> dupper: how'd you like our little party?
<5> older than P4
<0> dupper: still got turkey leftover
<5> I liked it a lot because it was little :D
<5> I don't like large crowds
<0> krista was making turkey sanwichs when i left
<0> dupper: yeah, same here
<0> i still expected more ppl
<5> I would imagine so
<5> ya
<5> I wouldn't have complained
<0> i had so many left overs... it was nuts
<0> hehe
<5> but I didn't have any complaints about the lack of people either :D
<5> find room in the fridge?
<0> dupper: agreed... heh
<0> oh for sure... got lots of room
<0> krista went nuts today... she spent mad $$ on food
<0> a new kroger's opened down the street
<5> wow
<5> Kroger's <3
<0> they were giving a free bag of groceries to the first 50 customers
<5> wow
<5> did she make it?
<0> so she took my van at 9am to go down there
<0> hell no
<0> she didn't wake up until like 9am
<0> hehe
<0> so she just got a bunch of good deals on paid merchandise
<5> :o
<5> the PhysX will have a PCI version!
<5> I can get one!
<0> whats' that?
<6> OH NO!
<6> SUP mre
<6> fine!
<5> Physics Processing Unit
<0> manomani: oh not much... drinkin beer, smokin stuff... expressing wisdom for free
<5> PPU
<0> heh
<7> :P
<5> basically, offloads physics from the CPU
<6> esd you're a cruel, cruel, man
<0> nice... still don't quite understand
<5> so instead of 30-40 objects having physics, there's 30-40 thousand
<5> :D
<5> You familiar with the term ragdoll physics?
<8> i owned konkat
<5> how bodies bounce around?
<0> i'm not too versed in physics
<0> i'm more of a hardware man... like, what a video card can't and can do
<0> heh
<5> http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/03/08/news_6119896.html
<5> It's the physics equivalent of a video card
<0> chrispaul: cool... that kid is annoying as maury povich at 10am every morning
<5> it -is- hardware
<5> a PCI or PCI-Express card
<5> just for computing how objects interact
<5> I'm now officially not buying a Revolution
<5> If the PhysX is priced at all reasonably
<5> my CPU will be more than adequate if it doesn't have to do physics
<9> i have a quick question, a freind just got 5.1 surround sound speakers and cant get them working
<5> "We saw some cool demos done in software on a laptop of what this card can do. It can operate with 32000 particles/rigid bodies or should I say bones? [You should, Fudo, you should. Ed.] When we talk about fluids, such cards can handle up to 50000 rigid bones. A CPU can do a couple hundred at the most. "
<9> i got him to make up a computer report on everest and it says spdif not supported in the south bridge
<5> markus--: I'm sorry, that was not in the phrase of a question
<9> does that mean he cant set it up
<5> He can get a card with spdif
<5> or he can just have the speakers decode the 5.1
<9> yeah but as is
<9> it wont work?
<5> what kind of 5.1 does he have
<1> man I really wish I could figure out wtf is causing my usb/firewire issues
<9> Dupper what do you mean
<9> its 2 front 2 rear center and sub
<2> i have 4.4
<5> "Such cards can give some life to collision detection and can for example make a character go through gr*** and move every single gr*** while walking, "
<5> This is the next generation of PC gaming
<10> Dupper - yeah but my guess is that ppus will be integrated into video cards
<10> and people won't really have to get a seperate ppu card.
<10> unless something comes out soon
<9> why the hell would a newew computer not have 5.1 support
