<0> whats the price on it
<1> $241
<2> amd recently cut prices on the x2s and jacked prices on the opterons.
<0> wow
<0> 241
<0> bbl going to eat
<3> anybody tried the new intel macs?
<2> yeah. it felt like I was running windows.
<2> surprise.
<3> lol
<3> im not a mac user myself, whats with this 2x faster thing..
<2> god knows. people are morons.
<2> :D
<4> datil: its a different cpu
<2> 2x faster?
<3> i heard emulating old ppc apps (most of them right now) uses lots of ram
<3> but im not sure
<4> all the big apps will be ported soon enough
<3> ah
<4> all the system apps are native
<2> oh yeah a new mac will work great out of the box
<3> well honestly i never understood mac world at all.. i think their systems are a little bit overpriced
<4> well
<3> but if they say the hardware is really good on those machines..
<2> well choice is never a bad thing
<4> their laptops are pretty nice
<3> yeah, exactly
<2> i prefer PCs because I like to root around the guts of the machine
<4> im on a powerbook atm
<3> but if i remember the powerbooks where at $1499, but this laptop at $1999.. way too overpriced imo
<2> and have control over everything and have a huge marketplace of parts at my disposal. :)
<3> were*
<3> heh
<1> http://www.dusky.sk/pics/2006-01/1792_paris.jpg NWS
<3> spamalope, do you think apple will drop prices on that macbook.. sometime?
<4> at some point sure
<5> whats the hotkeys to change language
<6> how is the Athlon X2
<1> is anyone here an op in #photoshop? they have my entire town banned. its pretty lame
<3> lol
<7> !command
<2> AMDMan - it's nice.
<2> Jingles - what town?
<6> can anyone look on Newegg and Suggest something half way descent for games and audio?
<6> just need the MOBO and proc
<6> x2 is a lil pricy
<8> worth it
<0> ****
<0> i just ran off into the ditch when i was turning around and it tore my god damn bumper off
<8> last time i went into a ditch.. i lost my whole wheel.
<8> heh
<6> cant afford it
<0> they're 282 right now for the 3800
<6> too much
<6> i need like something in the 100-150
<6> lol
<9> what are you looking for?
<0> cpu
<10> all yalls needa quit drivin wastid
<9> You won't find a good CPU for 100-150
<9> YOu'll find decent
<9> wow
<9> $153 bucks
<9> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103488
<9> it's good too
<0> socket 754
<9> and?
<0> old
<0> if he ever wanted to upgrade again he'd have to buy motherboard too
<9> uh
<9> 754 is still FINE
<9> Dude
<9> just because it's not the best **** out doesn't mean it's not fine
<9> YOu don't have to have an FX-60 to have a great proc
<9> I have a 3400 in my Media Center PC, that EXACT proc, and it's never given me one bit of lag
<9> just because the 7800GTX 512MB SLI is the latest and greatest nvidia setup, doesn't mean that an AGP 5900 ultra doesn't work perfectly well for what a person would use it for
<9> I know people who are perfectly content with Ti 4800s
<2> well until you fire up FEAR at 1600x1200 with 4xAA and 16xAF. :)
<9> Nerp: You don't have to max the game out to play it
<9> You can play FEAR at 640x480 on ultra minimum
<0> fear has some nice "backwards" graphics
<0> makes things look like doom 1
<2> well, yeah, but some people wanna see the game at its best, you need more powerful stuff
<2> depends on what you're happy with
<9> Yep
<9> I'm happy running FEAR at 1600x1200 4xAA and 8xAfF
<11> Can anyone here name some good standup comedians that tell it in a good harsh way like George Carlin
<9> others are happy running it at 800x600 no AA or AF
<9> God, Meedio is so much better than Windows MCE.
<9> Meedio is a 3rd party media center that runs on top of XP
<0> hmm
<0> i haven't ever heard of that
<0> run in Pro or just MCE?
<9> Pro, Home, MCE, and I THINK tablet
<9> it's like 39 bucks
<0> oh
<9> Way more powerful, plugin wise
<9> and it only uses 5MB of RAM with the GUI running with the MCE skin on
<9> a free alternative is MediaPortal
<0> i really dont need the plugins. im just going to run winblinds
<0> this vista white scheme is pretty nice.. the min,max, and close buttons are somewhat tricky to push tho
<9> I use a panther theme on StyleXP
<0> a new version of stylexp came out today
<6> is there any compatatability probs with AMD's 64 bit's and any software or games?
<0> no
<0> the compatibility would come from drivers if you ran win xp 64 bit
<0> compat. problems that is
<6> whats the diff in it then! just that its process info at 64K instead of 32?
<0> it can also utilize more RAM
<0> the extra 32 bits allows it to perform more instructions also
<6> is that a prob then ? or can i just install Windows XP pro! not the 64 bit version tho?
<0> theres some pretty technical stuff on google about it
<0> yeah
<0> u can install any version
<6> id rather talk to a human about it then read
<6> lol
<0> its just the 64 bit cpus supports the 64 bit OSes
<0> doesnt require them
<6> ok
<6> thats wwant i want to know
<6> any can use DDR memeory just liek a 32 Processor
<0> yes
<0> right now DDR1
<0> ddr2 wont work
<6> why is that?
<0> at least not until socket m2
<0> because it just doesnt support it
<9> ddr2= intel only so far
<0> the m2 will be using ddr2
<0> since intel has bad memory control, ddr1 on an amd is pretty much the same as ddr2 on an intel.
<6> will a DDR mem stick work with a 2700 and a 3200 in it?
<0> yes
<6> how does that work
<0> together
<0> are you talking about memory speeds?
<0> pc2700 and pc3200?
<2> it resorts to the slower speed.
<6> yes
<2> it's not recommended to mix memory types all that much
<2> especially in dual channel
<0> the memory will run at whatever the lowest module is (because the motherboard will only support one frequency) or it will run at your motherboard's standard
<12> i agree with EneergE
<12> you can set the memory timing manually if mixing cause a problem
<12> it's same standard just different SPD timing
<13> do you think it would be more worth it to get a better processor or a sxga+ instead of an xga screen on a laptop
<0> hmm
<0> lets see
<12> for a laptop better display
<0> i dont think 200mhz will make a differenfce anyways
<13> heh only .13 ghz
<13> :p
