of 90% of the songs out there. I shure as hell would do it. Files could be hosted on a extreamly fast OC-12 or something and download the songs faster then you can play it!!!
Eventually, we will have to add some more benchmarking for all the shaders, particle animations, and soft body dynamics that are starting to come accelerated by hardware now.
go to www.madonion.com What they are able to make you computer display will astound you. I have alwayes been amazed watching 3dmark 2000. Just rembemer that it does run under windows and user the "evil" Microsoft Direct X.
Crimoney, why aren't our sound cards this advanced? Where's analog modeling synths, 3d stereophonic positioning, DSP effects, and other goodies we could have accelerated on the card?
If you have ever ran livewarefor the SB Live, it supports this (analog modeling synths and 3d stereophonic positioning for shure, dont know about DSP tho) My guess is that no one (not even creative) has spent enought time to try to port it to linux. Even tho, the SB Live is the shit.
Im not going to argue that, and on all profesional(sp) items I will check the spelling on, but im not about to cut and paste into a word processer just to post something.
While on my gameing computer i average 70 FPS there are times that i drop to well below 20 during hard effects (like 5 bodies being gibbed at once). The goal of hardware tweakers is to get the maximun effects while not droping below that critical point of 60 ftp (or 72 as that article clames).
And I promise that i can tell the difference between a computer avereging 72 FPS and 200 FPS.
Face it, the good consoles are the ones that have good games. And the gamers follow Square left and right. NES to SNES to PS to PS2. the most successful consoles have had Square as one of their main game producers.
To be serious, you have some good points but how are you going to make shure that not just the middle class and the upper class will not be the only ones represented?
When you have MMRPG's like UO, Everquest and Asherons Call, it seams like times playing old muds. (Overdrive being my fav)
Now personaly I find Asherons Call more fun then OD was, I dont find my self playing it as much as I played OD 5 years ago. I dont think that I will ever forget some friends that I have made on OD. I guess that 'fun' is a bad word to describe it. UO was not a 'fun' game. I found the game very repetitive and rather dull, but interacting with other chars was the best (or only) fun part. And that was a blast (many hours at school were wasted playing that game).
I think that with the perty 3-D graphics, larger amounts of players and more stuff just crammed in, there is much more to explore and find, more friends to make and new items to use.
I guess that it comes down as what the community of the game is. OD and UO had great a community. AC is just fun to play. But I spend more hours during the week playing OD and OU 3-4 years ago, then I play AC now.
quad (by the time its released) duron 900 OCed to 1.1ghz.
droollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll. ack have to clean up keyboard. drool is makghing ists hardsg tos typesk.
Have you seen a locked processer? I though that all AMD processers after week 54 were to be locked. But my local compuer store got a bunch of duron 750 in (week 60+) and none were locked
I think that they licened the EV6 SMP protocol from Compaq just like the bus. Now someone more knowlegable about OS's will have to answer if you will need a new kernel or not.
YES IT WILL!!!
AMD has no plans to cripple the duron like Intel crippeled the cellery.
Now will you beable to OC you 900mhz Duron to 1.1ghz? who knows. I still have to see a locked processer from AMD even tho they said that after week 54, all processers will be locked. (my local computer store just got a shipment of 750s week 60 and none were locked)

If you can find it, get the old GeForce 256, its about 25% faster then the MX for about the same price if your lucky.

Its the average framerates that are quoted tho

Actualy in my system, nVidia's linux drivers are 3 fps faster then 2k, dont know about 98 tho

Well, I guess windows buckled under the pressure

So what is my spelling sucks, its not a requirement(sp) to get by in this world is it?

I remember at the lan party, after that massive gib, 2 computers hard locked. Damn glad i was running Linux :)

And can you name a single incompatibilities due to the CPU?
And you bet that the FPU in the Athlon will smoke an Intel chip computing the lightmap. In fact send it to me, ill run it.

I dont think that AMD will try a quad this early in the game. This will only be the 3 chipset they have ever made.
Now with the Sledehammer I see AMD making a run at the backoffice with quad+ boards
