New comp: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (2.22ghz) Asus K8V Deluxe 512mb Kingston PC3200 80GB + 8MB Cache Western Digital Nvidia GF4 Ti4600 (322mhz) 430w Antec TruePower 2 x 52x24x52 CDRW drive (generic) 16x DVD-ROM (generic) 7-in-1 media card reader (generic) Saitek Cyborg Evo old junker: Pentium 3 500mhz Intel Tabor3 386mb RAM (unknown speed) Radeon 9200 20gb (generic) + 60gb Western Digital 48x (unknown write speed) CDRW DVD-ROM (unknown speed) junky old Logitec Wingman If you plan to get an Athlon 64, you're best off buying either the 3200+ or the 3400+, preferably the 3200 because it has the same cache as the 3400 and can be brought to 3400 speeds with little effort. Â According to some benchmarks I've seen, the 3400+ actually outperforms the FX-51 in a few tests and its on the same level most of the time. *edit* typo

Signal to noise ratio sounds like the amount of static hissing sound you get for a given signal from the mp3 player, the lower the better. as for db (decibels), glancing at one of my pc fans says that it runs at 25db, which is pretty soft. Â I don't work much with sound, so I don't really know much more than that.

EGM itself is rather innocent in the whole matter, they put the image in the magazine to begin with but later apologized. It's their publisher Ziff Davis that's drawing this whole thing out and insisting that the image is theirs and they can do whatever they want with it

The moon project wasn't probably high in regard of the Soviet politicians of the time, and when the US won it was just another failed project. Ruskie Moon Rocket Lander prototype

Feh, my 3200+'s been running faster than that thing for a month now.

I need to practice my landings a little bit

I saw this awhile back, one of the dev team members was on the #lomac channel on gamesnet once  Looks like a very promising game, and according to the dev team guy their flight model is detailed enough to include stuff like the Harrier's nose lifting during vtol.

I guess you could make a script that changes a car's top speed with every gear, but I don't know how well that would really work.

Speaking of Danas, Dana for Sale You'd get respect with one of those

We want floatplane

If the CPU's running too hot it would munch up CPU speed, it's always good to be sure

Remember, money = performance. I'd reccomend a new CPU fan and new thermal grease, which'll cost you in the reigon of $30. For free, though, I'd reccomend opening your box up and giving everything a nice cleaning, especially to clear out any dust on metal contacts or dust that's blocking airflow through the case.

XT just means it's just running at a faster core clock.

The shock of having a hot piece of lead fly through you at a few hundred feet per second is what knocks people down, not the actual force of the bullet.

A nice little editorial from [H]ardOCP, it makes some nice points about Nvidia v ATI and synthetic benchmarking. http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NTQ5

Hmm- just looked into it a bit more and it turns out you're right. Huh. Still, the 9800's a better buy than the 9700 simply because of the speed, although you can coax a 9700 into thinking that it's a 9800 fairly easily.

No, both 9700 and 9800 are DX9 cards. Only difference is some minor improvements on the core for the 9800 and the speed the cards run at. The 9700 might be able to run DX9 games, but it wasn't designed to DX9 spec and can't use some of the newer features of DX9. It was designed origionally to DX8 standards, and is thus a DX8 card. The 9800 was built from the ground up to support all features of DX9.

OMG!! Â What system is that?? Athlon 64 3200+ running at 2.22ghz, GF4 Ti4600 running at 320/670, 512mb Kingston PC3200. That a high score. As your system scored higher than a 3.2ghz P4 system, I'm assuming your processor is the Athlon64 FX model, right? Â no, just the 3200+ running at 2.22ghz (up from 2.0ghz stock). the FX-51 was just a little too rich for my blood
