That will probably depend on the implementation (bugginess) of the OpenGL renderer. In UT Linux I noticed some artifacts and lighting strangeness but other than that it ran great.
Well, I am definitely looking forward to getting my hands on UT 2k3, if only to see how far I can mod it.... However, I fear that it will be completely overshadowed by Battlefield 1942 sales
What makes you think this? Remember, the best games aren't necessarily the ones which end up selling the most (case in point: Deer Hunter)
Oh, don't worry, we're practically the 52nd state way up here. Those laws will apply to us, despite the fact that they were never passed in this country. Be nice to our American rulers and maybe they'll throw us a bone.
Hey, idiot, the reason we live closer to the border is that... the further north you go you get a little something called arctic tundra which is practically uninhabitable.
Actually we don't have a leader or a military. Oh sure, we have a leader that's practically in your pocket every time they are elected (whoever it may be at the time... Chretien, Mulroney, they're all the same to me)
And the sole reason that planes aren't crashing into buildings in our country is because they have no reason to. Whereas the US is possibly the most hated nation on the planet (and for good reason, especially with dickheads like you residing in it)
Yeah, Canada has its uses alright. See this post. Yeah, you American scumbags are sure a compassionate nation by letting us live. Remember, might makes right.
A bitter American... ho ho ho. What, does Canadas presence anger you? Do we make you upset? Poor baby.
Riding on your coattails, huh? Tell me, where do you get a lot of your water from? Where do you get a lot of your lumber from? Where do you get many of the natural resources that just don't exist in large quantities in your country(at dirt cheap prices) from? Did you know that you guys can buy Canadian lumber at cheaper prices than Canadians can?
You guys have been living the high life on the backs of honest Canadians for YEARS. It's hilarious how we supposedly have free trade with you guys, yet it doesn't really work bidirectionally, does it? If we buy something from you, we pay taxes. If you buy something from us... no duties at all. That's really neat. It gets even better when you guys pass some half-baked legislation like the DMCA and we're expected to follow it by proxy.
Have a nice day. Hope a jumbo jet crashes into your house.
During the last two years, financial corporations fighting Speier's privacy measure have engaged in a wide variety of lobbying activities aimed at currying influence with legislators. Much of the lobbying involved buying meals, hosting parties or providing favors for politicians and their staffs, ranging from business lunches and dinners all the way to the $24,078 golf game in Santa Cruz that lobbyists for the American Electronics Association last year provided a group of legislative aides.
Why is this not considered a bribe? An even better question - why are the politicians in question not being prosecuted for it. You'd think stuff like this would be illegal.
Isn't this a site for supposed nerds and 'techies'? How is Buffy a tech-friendly show anyway?
Ever see the episode where this demon is infecting their computer network as some satanic "virus" and they have to get the help of a (I swear this is true, I couldn't make this up even if I tried) "cyber-pagan" to exorcise their network?
It's the only Buffy episode i've seen and i've never watched another episode since then.
Debian is open source, it's cheaper than Microsofts solution (for the licenses at least.) Oh yeah, and Debian has apt-get. What makes Redhat so special?
I see freedom a bit differently: You are free to do as you wish as long as you do not infringe upon the freedom of others. This, I believe, is freedom which applies to everyone. The latter concept is just as important as for the former or else freedom cannot really exist for everyone.
I'm not sure if I am correct in my convictions or not, but that is the philosophy that I abide by.
If I do make the switch permanently I would use winex and the other available tools (vmware) to make the transition a little easier! I think however they are a bad thing in the long term, as they are PRODUCT and PRODUCT is not designed to wean you of itself, it would be contrdictive.
Well I would LIKE to just use vanilla Wine to run my favourite games, but unfortunately they can't handle copy-protected CD's because of the DMCA (thanks a lot, Corporate America) and Wine is just not there yet anyway.
I ran Windows for the longest time (I also had a dual-boot Windows/Linux and ran Linux exclusively a long time ago) but Microsoft has pissed me off one too many times.
Windows 2000 is pretty stable, as far as i'm concerned. I don't have any serious complaints about it so it has nothing to do with the software itself. It has everything to do with its creator.
So for me, a hardcore gamer, WineX makes the transition to Linux that much easier. I run Linux almost exclusively (it now takes up the lions share of my hard drive) with a very small Windows partition for some applications, and even though only a few games that I like actually work under it I hope to one day get rid of Microsoft products once and for all.
I do not want Linux to act just like Windows... WineX doesn't do that anyway.
They've already done something about it - they're pushing motherboard manufacturers into implementing overheating protection (see the Asus A7V333, for example)
There have been benchmarks conducted already with an OC'd Athlon XP CPU running with 333 MHz FSB - the performance difference was barely noticeable - like a fraction of a percent.
Chip Shipping Now. You read article, then you post.
I read the Anandtech review which says that the chip is NOT shipping to retailers. Don't EVER assume that I haven't done my research. I have read at least 3 reviews long before I posted in this thread.
The reviews I saw indicated that they definitely delivered subpar cooling performance as well.
But was that in relation to other higher-end heatsinks or your run-of-the-mill no-name HSF?
The only thing they really had going for them was appearance, and unless you're one of those idiots who adds windows (this kind [case-mod.com], not this kind [microsoft.com]...though some would say the same for the latter) and neon lights to a computer, you're never going to see it when the computer is closed up and shoved under your desk anyway.
Hey, i'm thinking of getting one of those windows!!!
yea i noticed the jedi scores were opposite even tho its still basically q3. guess i'm sorta screwed tho since i dont care much for rambus or amd's tactics.
Fair enough, just remember that Intel is guilty of many of the things that AMD is doing right now. The paper launch was used by Intel (very effectively, I might add) when AMD was able to release a 1 GHz part. Is the PR rating any worse than Intels' fostering of the "MHz is the only reliable indication of processor speed" mindset?
If you're looking for heroes or sqeaky-clean, ethical practices you'll need to look somewhere other than the business world.
Give me a break. AMD doesn't have integrity - i'll be the first to admit that and I consider myself pro-AMD. They are using the same tactic that Intel used with the release of the P3 1 GHz - announcing its release without delivering it to the market. Granted it's not going to take 4+ months to get the product to market but there is no doubt that AMD is playing dirty here.
The PR rating, which I can understand AMD using, should probably be scrapped right now since it isn't as accurate as it used to be. I'm not sure what other solution exists that would put AMD in a better light in the minds of the average user. A non-descriptive model number maybe?

I think Bush, Blair and Chretien probably like each other in that "special" way.

Yeah, go after them real hard, all right.... like with a rifle.

Fallout 2 was not an obscure gaming title...
Just listen to the soundtrack of "The Sound of Music." That'll put you to sleep in no time!
It's not a HUGE name game, but coming from a serious gamer -- Kohan is a pretty well-known title and not that old either.
The KT400 chipset doesn't officially support 400 MHz DDR.
