lmao....

I'm still AMD at the moment.

My little linux box is dead, so I'll need to get another one together. Most likely upgrade and use the current madaz p4 4.05ghz killer (AMD xp3200+) as the linux box/game server box. hehe

[Madaz]

hopefully i can sell this and get my core 2 duo before then doesnt matter either way though

[Madaz]

came accross this today and whilst not being pro Nvidia these look awsome

Looking forward to the next gen hardware.

[Madaz]

yeah not wrong but it will be sum till till we see that king of quality in a game but its fun to watch all the fanbois say OMG OMG OMG i want one and get disapointed when cod2 looks the same and nore more texture detail in need for speed carbon

**EDIT**

watched this trailer today right click save as hope it works Save As its for Bio Shock

And I thought PS3 would be next gen hardware. Shows how much they say "Itll never get any better than this" it always does. PC will always be better than a PS or an XBOX no matter what they do to make the console as cheap but with more power. only thing is its easier to take ur ps3 or xbox360 to a mates house to play pro evolution soccer than it is to take ur whole pc whilst being extremely careful then spedning 5 hours setting up LAN connections and firewalls and shit and then playing games and transfering files across the network which u cant do at the same time.... Go the multitap.

oh man i need to learn how to model people in 3d max.. they look fooking awesome

my machine will need an upgrade before then it struggles when 3d modeling at the moment

[Pauly33GTS-t]

im guessing they use some sort of physical mapping system by using some sort of electric suit wired up to read every single line of her face and body, like they do in games but here more detailed, then they compute the geometry in far more detail to smooth it all out, then apply textures then render it then tahts it. that easy but all the much harder. EDIT: Thats on a G80? fark me that things going places, but without a core2duo extreme any system currently will be a bottleneck. I got a 7950GX2 and it looks like ill be selling it early.

Ps3 technology is old nowdays...

It is easier to move the console, but when can u get 2+ mates to hook it up and lan games or over the net? I regularly pack my pc to take with me over the weekends (which i un pack too) so say 2 times a week EVERY week. Its not hard at all, or time consuming. I had a mate come over for a lan, which took all of 3 mins to get setup...

I meant like 5-6 computers, all coming from either home or from their own businesses with their own Dynamic IP ranges set up and all that shit, they want to be able to keep those settings to plug straight back home and then keep doing their work or whatever. Thats when it gets time consuming. I have done a LAN transfer files/ playing games thing only once with my computer, the hardware superceeded all theirs and this was around a month ago, my computer had a ping of around 120 the whole time playing and it had nothing to do with the router, yet on my network at home its fine. No one can tell me a Core2Duo E6800, 2 gigs of DDR2800, with a 7950GX2 running on a totally fine gigabit ethernet controller on the motherboard could be so slow. someones settings was screwing me up and we couldnt work it out, so i just said screw it and let my machine go.

Oh and on the ps3 note, Id say the technology is well developed, but dont get it wrong the product is unrealeased and the technology is untested. Therefore the technology is "new".

Latency not the same as bandwidth.

Your issue would have been a hardware driver, combination or setup issue.

Sometimes having the latest and greatest hardware is not such a good thing.

A good old 10mbs lan will yield a 0-1ms ping so I'd say your issue is else where other than you owning a fast new computer.

Did you check/swap your patch cable?

Computers suck at times.

yeh patch cable was all good, drivers all latest, (so far as i could tell the only ones for some harware at the time!) and settings matches etc. it was probably a driver issue or a hardware incompatability/ interference issue but its been sorted out since, an updated marvel-yukon gigabit driver was realsed for my chipset and it all worked fine after that. the latest and greatest hardware might not be the most compatible with other things true but its damn quick, efficient and the games and applications i run look mighty fine on my 22in WS monitor running at 1690x1050.

yes computers do suck at times, i use them, fix them, monitor them, replace them, configure them, break them everyday in my job.

[Cubes]

Ahh well there we go then...

I've never cared if the latest isn't compatible, 9 times out of 10 a driver is released to fix an issue.... Not in VIA's 686B and sblive case though. If you remember those years.

core2 duo are old this is what you want (mind you ill be happy enough with a E6600)

Core2 Quad
