ATI CrossFire
With support for ATI CrossFire, GIGABYTE pushes the envelope once again by delivering highly optimized performance and flexibility demanded by power users and extreme gaming enthusiasts. Designed to provide unmatched multi-GPU support with dual PCI Express connectivity, the GA-P35-DS4 allows users to take advantage of the ultra smooth 3D rendering, blazing-fast frame rates and enhanced visual quality possible with a dual graphics card solution.

takumi: recognize his mobo? see anywhere SLI Support.. ? see 2 nvidia cards..? umm, crossfire? hence the fail.
e:beat me to it.^

Have you even tried overclocking ?
- They say it`s faster clock per clock compared to Q6600, when both are overclocked, to 3.2ghz+.
- They also say you`re going to pay huge power bills because you chose Amd Phenom 9950 over Intel Q6600 (same price range)..

I owe an apology to rc10racer(if you read the mile long post..:P ), i was on the rush, and now that i re-read it.. it could sound patronising, but i didn`t mean it that way.
Sorry if I offended in any way.. and you know.. maybe one of these days we`ll see some dude`s topic, sharing photos with his LN2 setup..

ps: forgot the g15 keyboard, and i`m in no mood for edits, too tired.
it`s a weird combination orange keys and blue mouse.. can`t wait to see some rpm`s on it.

After one year and a half since i`m saying i`ll get a new rig(and working to save $), i finally made some time and did the research to update my "firmware" with hardware related news, dozens of articles/reviews for each component[..]
It`s not the best out there, but it`s not supposed to.. Here are my choices:

case: Antec 1200
psu: Corsair 750TX
mobo: Asus P5Q Deluxe
cpu: Intel Q9550 2.83 Ghz (@ 3.55Ghz & 1.22v, 58degrees usual 100% load, 71~73 degrees after 20 linpack passes, stable, measured with Realtemp - TJ Max 100), cooled with Coolermaster Z600 passive for now; 2x antec tricool coming tuesday (true120 is out of stock for weeks over here).
video: HIS Radeon 4870x2 (I only modified fan speed from 27% to 33, and idle/load temps got down from 56/92 to 33/68-71. Overcklocking later, if any).
ddr2: 2x 2gb Mushkin xp2 pc8800 (#996630) @1160mhz CL5 (1.9v).
sound: Some cheap Audigy SE, don`t want any overhead, maybe i`ll replace some condensators, opamp, for better sound quality.
hdds(SATA2): 2 x WD1001FALS (raid 0) + 1 x WD1001FALS (manual backup).
lcd: LG L227 WT (Never been a fan of LG in general but this monitor "pwns" a large percent of TNs).*
mice: Razer Lachesis (i have to say, i`m not an fps gamer, only corel "gamer" ;^) but it really is a nice piece of hardware).
ups: APC Back-ups 700 ES *
os: vista x64 ultimate(Which i had to download. My original dvd, failed install 7 times). It took me by surprise, kinda blown XP away (dual boot).. Maybe because of the 32 bit os memory addressing limitations.

Soon(i hope until december): G25+S2. Must get them together.. then i`ll slowly add Leo Bodnar`s pedal resolution gadget, the Nixim rubber, shifter mod..

Oh i forgot.. These days i have to get a sturdy desk or something.. i am thinking about the Obutto cockpit(review here, here) for over an year now, and considering the prices over here.. a good office chair ~120 euro + some piece of office furniture/desk&shelves/whatever ~150-200 euro. It could turn out the best option not only regarding comfort/realism for computing/sim racing, but also the cheaper option. Only if Chris would respond to e-mails..

PS: Not much "enjoyment" so far, as in using the rig to what`s supposed to do.. so far only testing, benching.. my free time goes on that. When i get back from work today, i`ll try sorting raid0 performance between those 1tb drives lol, with various stripe&cluster sizes.

Offtopic: Good oc`ers can`t live in Holland or what? What if i say i`ve got my quad to 4.1 ghz on air? (i`m certainly not classified as a good overclocker). Not that great, and not there for 24/7, but good enough for 32m pi, some 3d marks.. . I`m not taking any sides, he can always post a screen shot and cpuz validation links etc.. But i hate seeing flames instead of "Can you post some proof". You do realize this is a forum, and knowledgeable oc`ers are not excluded from browsing it, even playing lfs.. (or world class oc`er wannabes for that matter)..gtg, cheers.

This is one of the funniest i`ve seen in weeks.

edit: also funny Hitler's Crysis server gets hacked. (thx ovidiu :P)

click:ices_roflme

Quote from obsolum :

That exits the entire game, though, so it's not very useful if you just want to leave the server or something.

Aw.. In that case he could use " /leave ".. Shift + O for options..
What else is there, maybe spectate..
Easier to buy a new keyboard, or go to Options>Game and bind a button (like.. F1) to "/Press ESC".

or type in-game

C`mon guys, cut it off, this isn`t the place.
Psysim, maybe you`re reading too much into it. Bunder`s "idea" is an option, a realistic possibility.

One could find out his password(s) by stealing/reading them from
"%appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[profile name].default\signons(signons2).txt".

But not if he sets a Master Password. And by that i mean a decent 10+ characters pwd..
Thus ensuring a long time needed for cracking it brute force .

do you go back using the "back" button? if you do, a page refresh should do the trick.

Thank you, Senninha25, these videos made my day.

*does the earlier attached excel (zipped) file work?

hi michael, it`s pretty easy in fact, import the RSS into excel. use this.. let it aquire data, and select "As an xml list" option. (paste link into file name field.)
oh, or try, Data > import external data > Import data.. this way you can auto update the file anytime with a right click.
edit: here.. when you need to update it just right click > xml > refresh xml data.

I was told that Q33 NY is something to do with the flight or terminal numbers of the planes involved, this maybe totally wrong but thats what i heard.

late reply, but yea, someone got it loose on the net.. it was a frenzy back then, so everyone assumed it was true.
story said, that Q33 NY was the flight number from one of the planes. type that in winword and change font to Wingdings.. l33t h04x. simple things exagerated. try NYC with the same font..

whassuuuuuuuuuuup , i love the bob marley/Uplink/cigarette/cell phone interference/xrt`s license number & all the other little details

brilliant.

now.. what about THIS.

I don`t know, maybe for a fraction of a second at launch.. before it started spinning the wheels for a second.. Warmed tires, semi slicks, special compound high grip runway..
Too bad they didn`t mention G-Tech`s recorded max acceleration.

I had to share this, couldn`t find it on the forum..
A $13 piece of software vs $150 G-Tech.. provided you already have an iPhone.. meh

I find it very funny to watch.. some of you may know it already..
