<0> are you sure it's not 10 megabit?
<0> or does the commercial say "10 megs"?
<0> You're probably getting 10 megabit, which is generally 1MB/s down, 256KB/s upload (1 megabyte per second download, 256 kilobytes per secound upload)
<0> although you won't see near that, probably 640 kilobytes per second download and 64 kilobytes per second upload
<1> I thought if they say 10mb that is 10 megabytes 10mbit mega bits we have been taught that in computer science cl***es since for ever man
<0> no
<1> http://www.home.ntl.com/page/broadband1
<0> mb=megabit
<0> MB=megabyte
<0> that's 1 megabit
<1> k thankyou
<0> capital B=bye
<0> byte*
<0> lower case b=bit
<2> i wish i had 10mb
<1> :-)
<2> im stuck with this satellite with a 169meg FAP
<1> Thankyou, man i am 22 work for a huge it company and i didn't know the difference. **** me i am suprised i got the job there
<1> That is a complete rookie mistake
<2> hehe
<0> EneergE: 12megabit. My girl runs a home business from our apartment and got a small business account
<2> nice deak
<2> you gots all kinds of toys
<0> yup
<0> A buddy of mine has better video cards than me
<2> 1900?
<0> ordered two x1900xtx 512MB cards today
<2> hehe
<0> ****ing 96 rendering pipelines, I have 48
<2> nah
<0> BUT
<2> it actually has 16 pipes on the card
<0> there's only one thing he does better
<0> NOTHING because his proc is ****
<2> heh
<3> arent those cards like $750
<3> each
<0> He's got the same proc I have in this machine (my web machine
<2> 749
<0> CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3000+
<4> can I run a cpu at a speed less than what it is?
<3> haha
<0> rogers: usually not
<0> why do you want to?
<4> hrm
<3> he paired 2 x1900xtx's with a a64 3000?
<3> wtf
<4> Im having major issues with an asus a7n8x deluxe
<0> Jingles: HE has to until he gets his next upgrade. in ****ing July
<4> it wont detect the right cpu
<4> I think it has to do with the memory timings
<4> (I had it working for over a year.. unplugged it.. and lost bios settings)
<3> thats crazy as ****. he should have just bought the one and bought a cpu at the same time
<2> yeah
<0> He got a good deal
<0> got two cards for 1000 bucks
<0> I would have done it
<2> wow
<2> dang good deal
<3> oh. well thats different
<0> Because when I upgrade my proc, I'll sell him mine for 290, (X2 3800) and get my FX-59
<2> get the fx-60
<3> dell has x2 3800's for $241 today
<2> WHAT?
<2> dell with x2s?
<3> and 4400's for 375
<0> Dell sells AMD on their website
<5> dell has been selling amd processors for months
<2> huh?
<2> i did not know this
<2> i never saw them
<0> I love this new ****ing heatsink
<3> here
<3> http://www.fatwallet.com/t/18/572441/
<0> my A64 x2 3800+ is running at 24 C
<3> 241$ for a x2 3800 is nice :D
<0> idel
<0> idle*
<0> hits 30 under load
<5> my opty 148 @ 3 ghz runs at 37C full load
<5> that's an fx-59, basically. :D
<0> I have a Thermalright xp-90c, with a 92mm fan and Arctic Silver 5, with a pipe pointing out of theback of my case
<5> same core
<5> i have the zalman cnps9500
<3> i have the ****ty stock hsf
<0> FX series=X2 design, Opertron core
<3> on my 3800
<3> :P
<6> the fx-60 is the only dual core chip among the fx series
<0> Yep.
<0> It's the flagship
<6> opterons and fx chips are basically identical except for the multiplier being locked on the opterons
<2> yeah
<6> i paid $207 for my 148 and its essentially a yet-to-be-released fx-59 since I've got it @ 3ghz
<6> i'm happy with that.
<2> wow
<0> Soemone got pissed at me because I have my 6200s for sale for less than my 5900 ultras at the store
<0> I explained why a 5900 ultra was better than a 6200,
<6> i got it from monarch about 5 weeks ago
<2> heh, uneducated
<0> because the 6200 cores are painfully bad compared to the beautiful 5900 ultra core
<6> well the 6200 is a stripped down budget card that ****s for gaming
<0> 5900 ultra 256MB cards rival the 6600-V 2356MB cards (vanilla)
<2> how much would you sell a 6800LE for ?
<6> the 5900 is a last gen card, halfway decent but still not that great.
<0> 6800LE? 299, EneergE
<0> Dude, the 5900 ultra still runs games GREAT
<6> for gaming, the 5900 beats the 6200 for sure
<2> wow 299...
<0> EneergE: AGP or PCIe?
<2> pcie
<2> no not LE my bad
<3> maybe great at 640x480
<3> with no options on
<3> :D
<2> heh
<3> i had a 5900ultra and moved to a 9800 pro and the 9800 pro absolutely destroyed that pos
<0> Jingles: ****ing DUH
<2> ive been playing sabots for awhile today and im owning them in quake 4 now
<6> the 5000 series cards ****ed for texture and shading
<0> 9800 Pro 256 destroys a 6600 256
<3> it was a 128
<6> t&l implementation was pretty much on paper
<0> EneergE: what card did you want a price on?
<6> just get a 7800GT. :D
<0> nerp: Not bad
<2> 6800 325/600 overclocks well
<0> Hey, EneergE, since that's a PCIe card and easier to find, the price is only 230.99
<0> I give 179 for them
<3> for what nvidia was selling as a 'comparable' card at the time, the 5900 ****ed in all forms and flavors.
<2> hmm
<2> thats still nice
<2> i dont have the box or anything though
<0> AGP cards are more expensive, especially the 6800s or x850s (last AGP ever made)
<2> yeah, the older 6800s were unlockable to 16 pipes too
<0> EneergE: Now you're looking at 179 retail, you might GET 130-140 for it, because it's used and it's not resellable as "like new"
<2> the agp ones
<1> One last question is ethernet is bits or bytes i.e. 10/100 is that 10 bits to 100 bits speed?
<2> yeah
<0> 10 megabits and 100 megabits
<2> gigabit ethernet
<2> why did they start saying bit instead of bytes?
<1> I don't know it makes no sense to be honest :)
<2> nope
<2> hey, i can't find a single system with an amd cpu on dells site
<1> You would of thought they round up to have a less complicated number. I guess decimals are hated or it is some marketing thing
<2> yeah they probably done it to make it all seem better
<3> EneergE: i dont know if they sell systems or not, but they do sell cpus
<3> if i didnt have this x2 3800 already i would have jumped on that today. excellent deal
<2> hmm
<2> whats the price on it
