That's what ebay is for. :D

I have two LG HD-DVD/Blu-Ray drives.

Now that's not too hard (I think). I've used a manual HDR process using layer masks based on the image itself for all my HDR efforts.

Ddrueding likes his RAW files the same way he likes his cars... Well abused. :D

How about a max post length limit to keep Udaman in check? :evil:

But that's not really saying much. :p

Leave it to udaman to find a way to plug Apple in a post about the new sever. :rolleyes: BTW, it's much faster Handy!

And the answer is NO.

:eek: I've never messed with it to that extreme. Usually I just do +/-1, but I'm also not usually trying for heavy HDR.

You got banned from CPF? I couldn't imagine why... :D

Try it and see. :p That's what I've done before.

That's why you shoot RAW and then make the 3 exposures from the one RAW file. ;)

I'm OK with reduce power consumption and noise in my netbook, so I'll stick to 2008.

Damage to the battery's Li-Ion cells occurs at the ends of the spectrum. If you over charge or undercharge them you can damage the cells. All modern devices have charge controllers to prevent that from happening. Still limiting the max charge will prolong the life of the cells in the battery...

I know for sure that ddrueding would have HDR'd the first shot. They look good except for the 3rd one which looks underexposed.

You want to avoid complete cycles on Li-Ion batteries. It's worse to let it get to 0% and then recharge it than to recharge it at 50%. Practically speaking Li-Ion batteries should be charged as often as possible. Some new computers have a "battery saver" option to stop charging them at 80%...

What software are you using on the PC to play it back?

Considering most of the people here have you on ignore it's probably best not to agitate one of the few who doesn't unless you're hoping for no one to read your posts. ;) Just because my post was short and to the point doesn't meant I didn't spend any time on it. Philosopher Blaise Pascal once...

Your CPU usage should be about 5-10% when playing a DVD if it's using the hardware acceleration of your video card.

You guys must be really impatient. :D

Installs and updates are horrible. Other than that it's not so bad. Still some times it gets slow at the oddest times for no apparent reason. It's all irrelevant now, as I have given up on it and have a 320GB 2.5" IDE drive on the way to replace it.

You should be targeting 6500K there chief.

If it's anything like the MLC IDE SSD I have they're going to drive you nuts. You'll see.

We'll check back with you in a few years and see if you still have that opinion. ;)

On the 3rd day?

I'm trusting Obama to take care of me, not MS. :p

Nah, it should be don't install IE8.

I'm going to put a 2.5" 500GB 5400 RPM SATA drive in my netbook. :p

Why does the ghost look like the Easter bunny? :confused: :p

What do you mean? That is a 2 platter WD 500 gig 5400RPM drive.

They're in stock now at the egg. link

Surely this is a joke. :confused:

It would for high resolution gaming where you've got anti aliasing cranked and anisotropic filtering juiced.

That was on the box, or is that from a software measurement? If correct Sparkle totally screwed their buyers on the memory BW. A normal 9600GT has ~57GB/sec. That one only has 25.6GB/sec.

On the 2GB 9600GT. You could use RivaTuner, nTune, or nVidia System Tools.

There's only one solution. Faster Cores!

Here's an idea... Lets ask Santilli what speed his RAM runs at. Can you check it for us?

:( Did you at least get reduced to 4 day work weeks?

Keep in mind it could be as simple as the fact that the TV is expecting 16-235 levels and your PC is delivering 0-255.

So Newegg has the 80GB Intel for $315 with free shipping today with the coupon code in their e-mail. Do I buy one? I'm pretty sure the answer is yes. :p

Microcenter has been selling the I7-920 in store for a lot less than $284. They're $229. link

That must explain all the outraged reviewers at Newegg who complained about the poor performance of their 9600GT. Oh wait... there aren't any of those. ;)

Well, my 2GB DDR stick arrived and seems to be working fine in my N120.

Yes, but DDR2 if run at 800MHz would have the same BW as DDR3 @ 800Mhz.

I'm just going by the specs. It says it has 800MHz memory. The other 9600GT's have >51.2GB/sec of memory BW (they run DDR3 @900MHz). Your argument apparently is that they're lying it's really 400Mhz and they made a 9600GT that has less than 1/2 the memory BW of other 9600GT's. Right...

Please explain to me why it has half the BW? What's different between DDR2 and DDR3?

Are you sure about that? There are several video card makers who claim to be using it. Asus

No it's not. The card has an 800MHz memory clock (not effective speed).

You really just don't get this do you? DDR, DDR2, DDR3, GDDR2, GDDR3, & GDDR4 all at 800MHz will all have the same max theoretical bandwidth. They all send out data twice per clock. GDDR5 sends out data 4 times per clock. 256bit DDR2 @ 800Mhz is the same speed as 128-bit GDDR5 @ 800MHz.

Nope... ;)
