    Self encrypting drives and security

    Not sure if this is the right subforum but anyway. A few months ago I bought a SSD harddrive. It as most of them have the function to encrypt itself (or from what i understand always do but the "access" key is blank so you can always get into it). My question is that the only place I can...

    Nokia and Microsoft announce partnership

    And Symbian still has what 40% of the market and is by most considered both dated and "dead". Market share isn't everything.

    Which CPU for Ansys Finite Element Analysis

    I'm helping my brother put together a computer which he will use to run finite element analysis on, Ansys at the moment. He is more or less hardware illiterate which is why I'm helping. I was at first thinking about the 2600K given the splendid reviews is has gotten but after reading it seems...

    Best CPU's of all time?

    MOS6510 would be my best cpu of all time, but then I still have the old 64 in the attic (and I think it works just haven't tried in a long time) Apart from that the MC68K series is very good. But then, what is the "best cpu of all time?" It's almost always going to be the latest one going...

    Nvidia's Imminent Demise?

    The money isn't in the high-end. Would estimate that probably at most 10% of the revenue comes from the high-end parts. Highly doubtful that a change in sli availability will affect the sales even slightly. As for nvidia buying AMD, doubt that the competition authorities in either the US or EU...

    Geforce8 cards to get PHYSX support shortly

    Just to comment on openGL and doom. OpenGl ran on everything, it was a programing API, You didn't have to have a special accelerator for it to work. 3dfx started dedicated openGL accelerator production and managed to sell quite well. Remember that openGL is "similar" to directX nothing more...

    Geforce8 cards to get PHYSX support shortly

    The problem is added cost for the player. Which is more common right now, a fast cpu and slow gpu or the opposite. Most store-bought computers seem to focus on cpu power over anything else (nice marketing I guess). Also the fact that the majority of gamers (kids) can't afford to get anything...

    Geforce8 cards to get PHYSX support shortly

    Seem to remember that ATis approach was to run it on older cards that you had in a for example 4xpcie bus (or something like that). Giving some more life to the old card you switched out. So it wouldn't be SLi/crossfire but rather using the card for something entirely different. But we will...

    Sapphire wants to replace my X1900XT with a X1950Pro

    Sapphire doesn't even acknowledge that my card is broken. Not getting my money again thats for sure.

    2 psus to much for house breaker

    What amp rating is on the breaker? Just calculate the max power you can draw from it. IIRC it is something like P=V*C*sqrt(3) (don't remember the exact factor but it depends on the frequency of the AC and I have no idea what that is in California).

    Need help building a pro workstation for an architect

    Don't know about thoose programs but I do know there are openGL based professional software that doesn't work well at all with consumer type cards. Not because of speed really but the programing API.

    X1900XT or 8800GT?

    Have the opposite experience with my x1900xt so I'm waiting for my 8800gt. Never buying anything from ATi again after the treatment they gave me.

    NVIDIA Purchased AGEIA Technologies

    The question whether of not this is a good purchase or not lies very little with ageia and the ppu tech but rather with how much processing overhead there are in modern multi core cpu's. How many games take advantage of more than one core? Better let one of the non used cores take the overhead...
