Duke4ever delayed cause of Physics selloff AGEIA Acquires Meqon Research AB "We're just now hearing about this, too. On the surface I'm not too happy about it as we were getting to a very very stable point with our physics and nearing a point of being tech complete, and just working on polish. We'll see what happens, but we're certainly not interested in the prospects of moving to a new SDK - again."

X800pro To XT Mod guide "The devices displayed in this picture are the ones that I used for modding the X800Pro into an X800XT. The items are as follows: a conductive pen, a toothpick, acetone, and manicure. If you are serious about hard modding the X800Pro, use this guide for doing so. It is very reliable and you can be sure your chances of success are high if you follow our instructions closely.

With all the processing power available, there is no excuse for not supporting this feature, yet we have seen no mention of it from Creative. Dolby Digital Live may not be as hot a topic as it was back when NVIDIA supported the feature in their onboard SoundStorm audio solution, but we would still like to see it added for completeness (especially when even Intel's onboard solution can handle it)."
