AMD to Open Up Graphics Processors' Streaming Floodgates http://www.technewsworld.com/story/AMD-to-...?wlc=1226785603 In December, AMD will release a software update that unlocks the ATI Stream acceleration capabilities already built into their ATI Radeon graphics cards. The result, according to the company, will be enhanced performance for applications optimized for the technology. AMD is already working with ISVs to develop versions of software applications that make full use of ATI streaming. ATI Stream makes use of the GPU outside of the traditional scenarios -- taking care of the desktop monitor and lighting up the pixels; rendering 3-D objects in applica…

http://www.instructables.com/id/Rework-a-U...ssive-Capacity/ Those UPS devices you buy for your computer usually have a gel-cell battery that lasts for a few years. Less if your power goes out a lot. When you replace them, you pay a bundle, even if it's a standard cell. This short Instructable will demonstrate how to rework an older UPS for more capacity with cheaper battery power. The picture shows some sample UPSs and an example of the gel cell from one of them. The UPSs come in various capacities and, although you can boost the capacity, the output power is fixed. When you start out, make sure that the UPS you're going to modify will provide the volt-amps an…

Measuring the Benefits of AGP: Is PCI-Express Necessary? "During Computex we saw photos of several Intel 925x boards equipped with both PCI Express and AGP slots. Since Intel’s new chipset doesn’t offer simultaneous support for PCI-E and AGP, there was a serious question as to how Gigabyte and ECS (the two manufacturers with boards on display) were accomplishing it." ... ... ... "For the gamer, however, PCI-Express is going to be a non-issue. Given that most games today barely stress the AGP 2x bus, moving to double AGP 8x isn’t going to do anything. It’s the equivalent of widening a highway no one drives on. Had AGP developed in the direction it was intended…

I have more money that I expected to have to spend on my next system (too bad, eh?). anyway, what's ppl's opinions on maybe dropping the extra $$$ to go with a amd64 x2 chip vs. amd64? both are socket 939 so I could upgrade down the line, or just drop the cash now. There are some pretty nice deals on pricewatch for mobo/cpu/ram combos. I just don't know if the price difference is worth it. I'll def. be picking up a nice pci-e video card, like I said, dunno if I should splurge on a chip, specifically an amd64 x2 3800. kevin

Well I desided to load up Farcry 2 tonight and let me say... it is nothing like the first one. It is a good game to chk out but I was thinking it was going to be more like Crysis but with more of an open world or even like the first Farcry. I like the game but at the same time it just seems to scream console to me. Not sure!

Intel Core 2 Gaming Performance Game Over? Core 2 Duo Knocks Out Athlon 64 Intel Core 2 Duo/Extreme processor review Intel's Core 2 Extreme & Core 2 Duo: The Empire Strikes Back "Intel's Core 2 Extreme X6800 didn't lose a single benchmark in our comparison; not a single one. In many cases, the $183 Core 2 Duo E6300 actually outperformed Intel's previous champ: the Pentium Extreme Edition 965. In one day, Intel has made its entire Pentium D lineup of processors obsolete. Intel's Core 2 processors offer the sort of next-generation micro-architecture performance leap that we honestly haven't seen from Intel since the introduction of the P6."
