I'm sure many gamers who cut their teeth on isometric games from the 80s and 90s are not terribly satisfied with all the 1st-person viewpoint games. Is it too much to ask for some camera options?
There's also a different voltage regulator for the GPU on the 6800, 6800GT, and 6800 Ultra. I saw an article once comparing power consumption between the three cards, and the 6800 consistantly used less power than the other, more expensive cards, even when running the GPU and RAM at the same speeds(by way of OCing the 6800).
I sort of disagree with your assessment of the quality of "created" corundum gemstones(rubies, etc). They don't look very good, or at least, not to me anyway.
The difference in quality between a natural, mined corundum gemstone and a created one is significantly greater than the difference between a natural, mined diamond and a created one. The created diamonds are truly impressive.
Sadly, AMD just won't release space-heaters like the Thunderbird anymore. My old Thunderbird would routinely hit 66-74C depending on ambient temperature, and that was with the case off and a noisy-ass HSF. I'm sure those things really could cook breakfast.
My new Sempron 2800+, even when OCed to 2.32 ghz(720 mhz OC), only hits 49-50C at load. It also manages to make less noise. And, I can even leave the case on. Yay! Sadly, there's no cooking eggs & bacon with this rig.
It's a shame we don't have more trolls around here. They usually post something that's kinda funny, or they make me laugh by being utter fools. Sometimes both.
By the way, your karma rocks. You are now on my friends list, and believe you me, it's some fine company in there!
Nvidia has been making good chipsets for AMD processors since the Nforce2 days. Yeah, sure, the entire Super7 platform had bad chipsets, and VIA's lovely offerings in slot/socketA had crappy southbridges until the KT266 and KT266A. That's all history.
In fact, SiS makes chipsets too, at least in terms of stability. The boards that use them aren't always built to the best standards, but the chipsets themselves are fine.
Sounds like they're afraid of people using rest-stop connections for drive-by kiddie-porn downloads/uploads. That's the only real use for this filtering that I could see.
Their quotes are not "awarded any gravitas in articles". It's a well-known fact that Al Gore secured a monopoly on gravitas all the way back in 2000. He probably won't be giving it up anytime soon, either. Greedy bastard.

The AMD 386dx40s were also good processors. I had one, and it never failed me or otherwise caused incompatibilities, random crashes, or lockups.
I don't know which x86 processor AMD cloned first(they were a cloner company in the x86 market up until the k6, really), but according to their own history they were cloning x86 processors as far back as 1980 or 1981.
Limiting campaign spending is limiting free speech, period. If anyone feels that large political machines gain too much power from having too much money, then the only logical response is to provide more free forums in which smaller political groups can be heard.

I unlocked my eVGA 6800 and overclocked it a bit(up to 350 mhz GPU speed and 800 mhz RAM speed). No artifacts.
As with most overclocking and other mods of this nature, it's "hit or miss".

Yes, it does.

Da, comrade. I love this country.
It's "Shoulder of Pork and Ham". It's not an acronym. It's just S from Shoulder, P from Pork, and AM from Ham.
I thought it was "Shoulder of Pork and Ham", not "Spiced Pork and Ham"
Hey, #2 is the same explanation for government waste that they gave in ID4, so it must be true. (sadly, it probably is true)

Either that, or find a woman with good enough taste in gemstones to admire something with more character than diamonds.
Paraiba tourmaline is where it's at, baby.
No, the whole point to metamoderating is to rate every moderation Unfair or Unfunny in order to cast doubt upon the entire moderation process itself.
Hopefully, we'll all be forced to browse at -1 someday.
No, but Iapetus might.

How many other applications will these nanotubes have in large-scale construction? Could they replace materials such as steel?
More like human Internet Chairs.
Woooeee.
Er SiS makes good chipsets. That's what I meant to say. Really. Feh.

More speech is good, less speech is bad.
That's the best post I've seen in a long time. A winnar is you! You technical monkey.
