<0> ...and the quad cores coming out in 2007
<0> god... a quad core is wild.
<1> I reckon.
<2> see id rather have quad sli :)
<3> the best thing about multi-core cpus is Intel finally is dropping Hyperthreading as a "feature"
<0> can't you already have 4 screens going at once?
<1> I have a dual core Pentium D and I'm at a loss with that to do with all the power.
<3> Encode a movie, that'll eat its power up real quickly
<1> What's wrong with HT? It's great for multitasking on single core processors.
<0> Admiral: gloat. That's what. :)
<2> run prime 95?
<2> lol
<3> HT is garbage
<2> GET THAT HT TRASH OUTA HERE
<0> Its still a single core
<4> ****
<1> With dual cores around, yeah, it's not much use. For single core processors, it helped quite a bit.
<4> if its a new computer it will run conroe!
<2> i think ill upgrade to am2 late next year
<2> after the new graphics cards come out
<2> and i have 2-4 of them :)
<4> is there anything scheduled for amd to conquer the conroe?
<1> K8L is the Conroe competitor from AMD. Supposed to be released next year sometime.
<4> yeah
<4> but by then intel will be closed to the kentsfield
<1> Which is a problem for AMD... since they can't go much higher than 2.8ghz on a dual core processor with the 90nm process.
<4> dunno intel future is looking good right now
<1> Intel's new stuff looks awesome, with one exception: the FSB.
<1> a 1333mhz FSB might be enough for dual core CPUs, but it's gonna be a major bottleneck on quad core CPUs.
<4> im probably going to buy a conroe... i dont really know yet.... its a long wait and i may just buy a new p4 or pd with a motherboard that would support conroe and upgrade later to it... the fx62 is over 1000$ where the conroe is going to be around 600-700$ for the 2.66ghz and then the extreme editions will be around the fx62 price range, but they will completly destroy the fx62s performance, seeing that the the first conroes beat it by 20%
<1> Hopefully this board is Conroe capable.
<1> It's a Gigabyte 975X.
<4> should be
<2> ram timings are sooooooooo fun
<5> Die FooLKillR
<4> man
<4> i dont know
<1> My ram timings are just the default ;-0
<2> LEWL
<2> benchmarking noobs.
<4> hm
<4> m
<1> There was one tech site.. tested value ram against this super corsair ram with ultra low timings. There was next to no difference.
<4> 600$ is quite a load to drop into a cpu though
<2> dude
<2> by tweaking my timings
<2> i was able to get a 10 second drop in super pi times
<2> just by tweaking timings from stock
<2> it makes a difference
<2> trust me
<2> what are you guys super pi times?
<2> 1M
<1> Haven't tried
<2> get it :)
<4> 1m5s on this laptop... 36s on the p4 system
<2> I get 30s on this system
<2> 36s, not bad for a p4
<4> hmm
<1> Ok, I've downloaded it... now let me shut most of this crap off... and I'll run it now.
<2> kk
<2> it will only take a few seconds
<6> I have a system that BSOD's running windows in random instances, BSOD's when trying to load a XP setup disk, but run's stable in safe mode. If its a driver issue, i understand in windows it BSODing, if its in the XP setup, i understand it being hardware problimatic
<6> but why would it run stable in safe mode?
<6> error in XP setup is IRQ_Not_Equal_or_less
<7> xp has mood swings
<6> so does my g/f, but she can take something to fix it :P
<8> yes
<8> fdisk ;x
<2> his girlfriend takes fdisk?
<2> format his girlfriends disk?
<6> well, i can run fdisk, and wipe the partitions...but if the system is crashing in a environment where only basic drivers are loaded, then what purpose is it ?
<8> lucky for him fdisk fits on a floppy disk.
<2> fuxyourdisk
<6> i have a very large usb key that i can put fdisk on to please my gf
<6> but i need some theoretical insight here, because none of this is making sense
<2> I see.
<6> not ***ual.
<2> lies.
<8> gives a new meaning to plug n play. heh
<1> Heh.. 31 seconds here.
<2> nice
<2> not bad
<2> 1gb or 2gb of ram?
<2> and what kind
<1> 2gb DDR2-667mhz
<6> heh, well.....my ego isnt on the line, so sure...i need lots of advice.
<1> Corsair.
<2> I see
<1> 4x 512mb.
<3> yey for Bell Canada
<2> Im running 2gb of PC4800
<2> proving ddr2 doesnt make that much of a difference ;)
<2> in fact it makes a negative difference :O
<2> lol
<2> 4x 512mb? Ouch.
<6> hrm, so any idea's other than 'fdisk' ?
<8> nothing wrong with 4x512
<2> on some boards there is
<2> on my board i know there is
<8> well sure
<8> if you buy a piece of **** board
<2> TRUE THAT
<2> by that logic
<1> Had 1GB, went to 2GB after I replaced the CPU. No problems. :)
<2> all nf4 boards are pieces of ****
<8> I can name plenty of nf4 boards that will run 4x512 no problem
<2> LIES
<8> you doubt me?
<6> well, thanks for teh *** advice nerds. You should rename this channel to #***_hardware. My 12 year old brother could have told me to fdisk.
<2> indeed.
<1> If a motherboard can't handle 4 512mb sticks of ram that's pretty pathetic.
<3> its all in how many banks you have...
<2> he just owned himself
<2> yea were supposed to tell him the root of some generic *** BSOD
<8> :/
<2> whens hes given us pretty much no information
<8> wtf
<8> why do people come in here thinking that they are going to get actual help from me
<8> this channel is for my ****ing amusement
<2> because your name is funny
<8> your not amusing.
<9> djtech's onjoin says that rukk is #1 helper
<2> you're?
<8> edible: I actually do help people alot
<3> heh, they think that you're going to help, because they expect everything for nothing
<2> *cough*SURE
<8> I just tend not to help the idiots who can't even try and help themselfs
<8> if somebody comes in here with a real question and has done some searching and has some stuff they've tried and can converse in a reasonably intelligent manner
<8> wonderful
<8> I'll go out of my way to help them
<8> unless I'm doing something else more important, but yeah
<2> hey rukk how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?
<8> otherwise, they can **** themselfs
<8> Fidelity_: stfu
<2> hahahahah
<2> <3
<8> your not amusing, and your starting to get on my nerves. its been a long ****ing day.
<8> give it a rest
<2> T_T
<3> You weren't varnishing and sanding all day were you?
<8> no
<8> I was rowing and sailing
<8> since 6am thismorning
<8> I wasnt going to be home until late tomorrow
<2> at 6am this morning I was up playing ut2k4 haha
<8> but a gail came up behind us and we bloody well flew
<8> and dealing with keeping the boat upright in 40 knot gusts of wind is VERY tiring after 5 hours of it
<7> how long would it take to make a new architecture. x86 was made in over 20 years ago. I'm sure if there was a new architecture made in the 21st century the computer would have blazing speeds
<3> I would imagine so
<2> sorry g, you usually dont mind my smart *** remarks :\
