This new processor most likey not be able to go fanless. This new via c3 core has higher heat than the Nehemiah cores. 20 watts to 15 watts I believe. I have one of the first 1 gig Nehemiah cores and it is on the brink of the max temp without no fan.

1. 6800 is a tad faster than X800 cards. Both run it in full glory
2. The game has four render paths: NV10, NV20, R200, and ARB2. All paths look awesome, even down to a g4mx, but the ARB2 path is the "full package," and is used for the R300+ and Geforce FX+ cards. It does all it's fancy **** in one pass.
3. PCI Express enhances NOTHING.
4. The difference between a 128mb and 256mb card is that the former uses compressed textures whereas the latter only compresses diffuse and specualr maps. In another words, no big deal. However, a 500mb card is needed to run the game in Ultra Quality mode.
5. 512MB is the ideal system total memory. 384 is required, 1GB is nice, but the difference is negligible.
6. Nothing special is included for a 64-bit OS.
7. A 1.5 Ghz processor is the least recommended, but a 2Ghz and above will help since...
8...The sound engine is entirely CPU dependant. Therefore a crappy soundcard works flawlessly. Not to worry, the enfine only uses a "small percentage of cycles, much less than if the engine relied on a soundcard.
9. The only reccommendation regarding faster framerates is to disable to "advanced special effects option." In other words, upgrade if you have problems.
10. They tie it up by providing three levels of "Doom lovin' PC's"
Low-End:
1.5GhzP4 or equivalent
512MB Ram
Geforce4 Ti 4800 or Radeon 9500
Mid-Range:
2.4GhzP4 or equivalent
1GB RAM
Geforce5950 or Radeon 9800 Pro/XT
High_End: Aka Hardware that doesn't exist, but best guess anyway
3.4GhzP4 or AMD equivalent
2GB RAM
GeForce 6800 Ultra or Radeon X800 XT PE.
My school (Depaul www.depaul.edu) offers this. All class lectures are recorded and by midnight all recordings are available on course website. They even store whiteboard info and screenshots of the lecturer PC. It is a great reference for midterm and finals. You can always go back to a lecture and review the material of the lecture and notes. Maybe that is why we are happiest university in the country ( http://www.suntimes.com/output/education/cst-nws-c ampus19.html ). So far though all lectures need IE for proper viewing.
Some of the tech that bluetooth was designed for and is now being use by 802.11 . Wide adoption was bluetooth failure and the ridiculous amount you need to pay for a bluetooth hardware and software development kit from Ericsson.
Drivers have not implemented wmv9 decode and encode yet, so I doubt they have implemented the encoding and decoding into the drivers. I read somewhere, nvidia was pushing all the 3d aspects of the drivers first before the video aspsects.
You should have got a 5900XT for higher performace and few bucks more.
Drivers will be out for linux too. Native divx,mp2,mp3 decode and encode hopefully.
umm...check the settings for the game benchmarks, the 6800 card is on 4AA/8AF, while the other cards have no AA/AF.
learn to read before you make accusations.
You ever noticed ur limited amount of resources after 22 days? The system will start getting sluggish after that many days. Linux holds the fort for resource management.
Who cares if they said recommand for Windows XP professional?
Check out www.linux-on-laptops.com/ibm.html, many success stories.
I will also add my thinkpad t41 to another success story. The centrino drivers work wonders in linux than windows. Go figure. ACPI works fine in kernel 2.6.3, not stable, but works. echo 3 >/proc/acpi/sleep

It is as simple as avoiding the popups that say "You are infected, please scan" It is bs.

On several computers, I have noticed this worm starts as "Microsoft Personal Firewalls = bling.exe". How obvious is that?
MS is not unloading on Slate. They just trying to get into a partnership with another company to make more money.

dumbass. all i can do is laugh now.
can you benchmark it? pic pic pics needed.

what is coming next week. NV40 geforce 6800. time to own that company called ati.

My emerge of kde3.2 on Via C3 1gigahz cpu was about 1 day. The FPU on this cpu is lacking. This i686 cpu was also using i586 architecture flags.
