I don't really get the attraction of a single slot cooler for medium to high-end cards. They run hot and are very noisy, and aren't capable of moving the hot air out the case. Besides, if the 9xxx is any indication, it's still on the old architecture, and won't give any surprises. It better be aggressively priced to be worth buying.

As if this is weird, or anything out of the ordinary. Vulnerabilities are found all the time, and it's very likely for one to to be known by hackers, but not by Mozilla themselves, so it's not fixed as fast.

Without seeing the numbers on how much it cost to make Vista, you can't know that. What I do know is that most of the vista sales came from pre-installed versions. That does say something, doesn't it?

It needs all that, and just for an operating system? Dual core is becoming standard, dx10 being the standard that no one really takes advantage of. Your nano has a completely different kind of memory, which is far cheaper to manufacture. Is there a point in having an operating system require that much resources while not offering anything fundamentally new?

Tell that to the OCers with LN2, they'll shove in as much voltage as they want to reach a world record 45nm has shorter distances within the chip, thus is theoretically capable of clocking faster.

Actually, that's Alienware. In other words, the OC is nothing special. Unless you get a real poor sample, any CPU with that kinda multi (extreme ones have an unlocked multi even) can reach 4 Ghz without increasing the FSB too much. The only thing holding 45nm C2D and C2Q back is FSB really.

Though, those were just the P4s. (Did I mention one ran at 8.2 Ghz, using liquid nitrogen?) Increasing CPU speed results in a linear increase in wattage required. Increasing voltage increases it exponentially. And I'm afraid your faith in not setting them at higher speeds if they are capable of it... is wrong. In the case of core 2 Duo and Athlons to some extent too, the yields are good enough that too many CPUs end up at the high bin, leaving too few for the cheaper lower bins, which are in fact sold the most. Phenom I'm not too sure about, it's a really really complex CPU, and yields can't be good for it. If you can put the OCed CPU to good use, then why not?

while I agree the stock cooling of any P4 is horrible, as long as it runs below 60-70c at full load it'll be fine. Besides, he'll notice when the CPU starts throttling, and even that happens before the heat does permanent damage. You seem to put a lot of faith in the specs given by a manufacturer, while they really aren't absolute. The Pentium D (two P4s stuck on one PCB) could run at 3.5 - 4 Ghz comfortably. Though I should add that if you didn't have a golden sample it'd be using like 200W at 4 Ghz, especially with increased voltage. As long as he runs at stock voltage, the increased speed won't add much to the heat output and required amperage. Free speed. Free speed. As long as you keep it within margins you'll upgrade before it deteriorates anyway. Not to mention that you can put it back to stock when it starts to fail at OCed speeds. Totally agreed.

No need to crosspost.

Actually, you were demoted If you have the brandname of the laptop, and which type it is, both of which should always be visible somewhere on the laptop, then you can hop over to the website of that brand, and get the drivers from there.

Nope, they're invalid where I live anyway, because you can't see them until you've bought/downloaded the software.

Blank page, save for the fact that it's black instead of white.

The irony is that Phenom does fine clock for clock, and certainly has the advantage in bandwidth-limited programs. But the clock speed defiency is just too much, 2.4 Ghz or whereabouts, where Intel does 3 at stock, and 4 OCed.

I think I need to subtly start rumors of testmy.net benefits if one were to add machines working under my nick.

I don't see how that ends up at 2g...

There's no way a single computer can do 1500 ppd... cheater!

In maths, answers are worthless without how you ended up with that answer. This looks interesting, I'm probably seeing this next semester. Can't wait.

Nah, they ran it on a 20 Mhz P1. Don't expect to have fast response time with that kinda CPU though

I'm not seeing the difference.

Yeah. I love this connection.

Speed is always relative. Tis a physics thing.

I can imagine it will take some (upside down) effort to fix it.

I might note that 100 dollars is a lot for a student.
