Yes, but we're not talking about DDR2 PC2-6400 memory. We're talking about 800MHz DDR2 that's 256bit wide on a 2GB 9600GT card made by Sparkle. link My math is correct for the card in question.

No it's not! First of all the 2GB 9600GT has DDR2 running at 800MHz. It's not running at 400MHz. Second DDR2 memory send out data twice per clock, just like DDR, just like GDDR2, just like GDDR3, & just like GDDR4 which you conveniently left out. It's still 800MHz * 2 * 256 / 8 = 51.2GB/sec

The ATI adapters are for component video, not composite.

OK, but there's no black magic. DDR2 on 2GB 9600GT 800MHz * 2 * 256 / 8 = 51.2GB/sec GDDR5 on ATI 4770 800MHz * 4 * 128 / 8 = 51.2GB/sec

Yes, because your understanding of Double Data Rate memory is all wrong. The 4770 has 128bit GDDR5 running at 800MHz. The 2GB 9600GT Greg owns has 256bit GDDR2 at 800MHz. They both have the same theoretical memory bandwidth of 51.2GB/sec.

I'm not sure exactly why you're having problems. I'd use MPC-HC instead. You should probably also use VMR9 for the output. The rest of your programs are quite out of date, though I'm not sure if that's causing your problem or not. My last HTPC had a less capable AMD CPU (2800+) with an AGP...

No it's not! It's only 2x faster per clock cycle than DDR2 of the same bit width.

No it's not. GDDR3 is not any faster per MHz than DDR2 SDRAM. GDDR4 is not any faster per MHz than GDDR3. GDDR5 (which should probably really be called GQDR) has 2x higher bandwidth per clock than DDR, DDR2, DDR3, GDDR3, & GDDR4 memory. The main difference between DDR, DDR2, DDR3, GDDR3, and...

What software are you using, and what's the OS?

It's no different in terms of BW vs. MHz though. Sure they never sold it 1gHz speeds, but it's not too different. My point still stands. He had already ordered it when I pointed it out. :p

I am hoping the Intel price cuts will push down the price of the Indilinx powered drives. This G.skill one is tempting since it's cheaper than it's two cousins and is basically the same price as the now cheaper Intel 80GB SSD.

At best the theoretical max BW of the two is the same. A 256bit DDR to GDDR4 wide interface at 800MHz is the same as a 128bit GDDR5 interface at 800MHz. You list it as being 4x faster when it's the same speed. GDDR5 is only 2x the effective speed of DDR to GDDR4 at the same MHz, and in your...

Blah, Blah, Blah... There are exactly TWO non TIVO dual tuner HDTV DVR solutions on the market. The DTVpal DVR and the Moxi. The only single device that's going to do what he wants it a PC with a dual ATSC / QAM tuner, DVD burner, and a capture card.

I believe what you're looking for is called a PC. :p

New Intel price drops link

Can you elaborate on your math? Because I'm pretty sure there's an error or two in there.

My only one (45GB) failed. I haven't bought an IBM or Hitachi drive since though it's been mostly because I haven't been impressed with their products.

You trust the people who brought you the Deathstar?

I basically don't use 'em, so no.

After consolidating the various toolbars in Firefox this is what I get in the normal view And this is the full screen view (with the top bar shown)

Yeah, I have that same iss Whoops, gotta go. ;)

You can also consolidate the menu bar and the nav bar. link

Been following the news about the crazy flu in Mexico?

I should point out that Autohide is not like the normal full screen mode in Firefox because it does not reduce the rendering area of the page. The bars are overlaid on top of the full screen rendering. The default Firefox full screen mode reduces the rendering area when the navigation and tab...

Are you in California?

Does anyone actually go there? :p If a mod wants to move it there it's fine with me, but I can't move it myself.

After I got my netbook I wasn't super thrilled with browsing the web on it's 1024x600 resolution screen. I ended up finding two very useful plug-ins that greatly improved the experience. The first is Autohide. With if you can turn this small screen disaster into move your mouse to the...

Kite Aerial Photography is fairly popular and likely safer for your camera and others.

I can see this will become the new spindle speed war. Next someone else will go to 6000RPM higher for their lower level drives.

Yeah, what he said Uda... :D

Well they don't have an equivalent to that one, or the 17-40L F4.

They couldn't figure out how to get them to spin at 7200RPM? :D

The grass is always greener on the other side. My Dad was a big Canon FD (manual focus film) guy. He never went autofocus for film. He decided to go Nikon for digital, and it seems like he's always talking about how much nicer Canon's lens line-up is compared to Nikon's. His usual complaint...

Look at one of the smaller versions. You can see quite large darker areas in the grass.

Those are probably where the various frames are overlapped.

The problem is that you didn't format it. :p

Says the guy who was born in 1980.

Is that even possible?

The OCZ Vertex SSD's have a 64MB cache.

Is there any reason to get a DDR2 PC6400 SO-DIMM over a DDR2 PC5300 SO-DIMM for a netbook. They'll be the same price after rebate. I know they won't run at the faster speed. And, in case you were curious, no I'm not an idiot. I know a netbook generally only has 1 SO-DIMM in it. A buddy is...

Well my N120 came today. :D It's pretty sweet! :cool:

I bought a WD5000BEVT not too long ago from Newegg.

Someone else reported that a 2GB stick works fine in the N120. :cool:

That and they don't have F4 "Pro" glass like Canon does.

So what happens when you put a 2GB stick of RAM in one of these WinXP netbooks? I know MS won't let them sell a 2GB model, but does it refuse to see it, or does it work fine?

Uh... No! I draw the line at the pink RAZR.

Somehow I suspect my wife will try to co-opt my netbook to use for her work since it will be smaller and light than her work provided one.

Well, I can't see how the N120 would be much better than the Aspire One in terms of being a full featured machine. It's still a netbook with an Atom + 945 chipset.

Well I gave in and bought a N120. :eek:

The new Samsung N120 and N110 are now both in stock at various e-tailers. I'll admit the N120 is very tempting to me despite lacking a 1366x768 screen.
