  13. Re:How do these compare to the Go line? on NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GS For AGP Launched · · Score: 1

    As far as I know, a Geforce 7800 Go performs very similar to a 7800 GT desktop part on PCI-E, therefore, its the fastest mobile GPU at the moment (until X1900 Mobility releases next month)

    Even with the Athlon XP 2100+, you'll see benefits, although lower resolutions it wont look much difference, since its CPU tied, and the 6600GT would be already as well. Its when you turn on features like FSAA and Anisotopic filtering you will see a speed difference, whereas the 6600GT will drop to a lower FPS, the 7800 would stay the same.

    If youre planning on 4x FSAA at 1600x1200 or so, its definitely a big difference and quite noticeable on such a CPU. Games like FEAR or Call of Duty 2 will run a lot noticeably faster despite settings and resolution, as they are GPU killers. Results show a 7800 performs two to three times as fast as a 6600GT, and doesnt drop frames as bad with advanced features either. Then theres that lovely transparency FSAA..

    It'll be held back by the CPU from full potential of course, and so is the 6600GT. Its upto you though, if youre playing at 1600x1200 with FSAA etc, then its best to get the better card first. If youre a 1024x768 player, new CPU.

  19. Re:Danger? on Explosion on Moon Spreads Moondust · · Score: 4, Informative

    moon dust is heavily corrosive, its not fine grained smooth surfaced like the dust on earth, it hasnt been 'weathered' etc and so still has spikes etc on its surface. Apollo astronauts found it corroded a lot of their equipment and spacesuits due to the friction and the tearing properties of the dust.

    Nasa has reason to be concerned since it could tear open a spacesuit or corrode a bases walls over time.

  20. Wow... on It's "1984" in Europe, What About Your Country? · · Score: 1
