***** THE RANDOM HARDWARE IMAGE THREAD (NO IMAGE QUOTING!!!!)*****

[Frozennova]

Asus SPAX-M Socket 7 Mobo (384mb Ram)

AMD K6-2 333mhz

AMD K6-2 400mhz

The K6-2s together (Holy Vcore batman)

Turion 64 X2

The turion looks a little odd because its sat on top of one of the K6-2 chips

Found this in a client's PC the other day

10 points to the first who guesses what kind of RAM it is

Looks like a Samsung logo on the heatsink? The contact arrangement looks completely different to normal RAM though, no idea what configuration that is.

Correct

Never owned a RAMBUS system myself, don't think I missed out on anything though!

So it went:
- Buy
- Excitement
- Receive
- Install
- Disappointment
- Await release of next card
- Repeat

Then the 4870 broke the mould by actually being as good as I was hoping!!

The problem is Nvidia made quite a big step forward with G80 (8800GTX/GTS), this left ATi playing big time catch up.

The 29** series was a massive letdown, and while the 3850/70 made some way in clawing back some lost ground, they still weren't where they should have been.

Unfortunately they weren't able to compete until the release of the 4*** cards, and even then they were behind the Nvidia equivalent,
for example the 4870 was more on a par with the GTX 260 as oppose to the GTX 280 which is what it should have been competing with.
It wasn't until the 58** series was released had ATi/AMD finally caught up and superceeded Nvidias offerings.

Basically what I'm saying is you picked the wrong team for a few years

Chris, you opted not to cool your GPU?

Any particular reason? Cost?

OK, peeps ..
No images bigger than 1024x 768

The other rules I can understand but why no bigger than 1024 x 768?

 

[stulid]

The other rules I can understand but why no bigger than 1024 x 768?

Because some peeps have gay screens with rubbish maximum resolutions

FSP 88Plus 700W PSU. Shiny.

FSP Aurum 700W PSU modded with a Enermax Magma fan.
