Well I think one thing we have all learnt is that when it comes to claims of HDMI multichannel lossless/bitstreaming, until it's actually reviewed and tested to work it's all a bunch of empty promises.

So what's the final config? Make sure you run folding@home (team 10047), that way all the cycles you paid for will be working all the time ;)

It would seem wise to wait for the new 880/890 solutions.

Windows 7 mobile in time for Christmas 2010: http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=17684 Might as well switch to Android or Symbian now.

AMD integrates their Unified Video Decoder 2.0 (UVD 2.0) capabilities into the 780G. UVD 2.0 offers hardware acceleration for decoding VC-1, H.264 (AVC), WMV, and MPEG-2 sources up to 1080p resolutions. Advanced de-interlacing is available when using a Phenom processor. We generally found CPU...

Pretty sure only the AMD based boards provide multi-channel lossless audio through the HDMI port. If you can switch to AM3 then something like this with the 4200 video should outperform the i3 video, I believe it supports the AMD UVD1 spec (which covers AVC blu-ray decoding etc), the current...

How do you find the Power and Cooling in terms of noise level? Greg: expect a video card like the GTX295 to pull 200W+ from your PSU. http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-295-review-bfg/5

GTX295? That's a very hot running, end of life type of card. You will note Newegg has no stock of it. Basically nvidia had to make something ultra powerful so they put together the 295. Unfortunately it's rare as hen's teeth because it wasn't a volume production card, they basically released it...

Son of a bitch. Look at your numbers. Now I basically have to get a quad core system to compete. Damn you peer pressure!

PCI-Express says *Santilli, I am your father.* Santilli says *NOOOOOOOOoooooooooo!"

Sorry I wasn't clear. The 5770 is an ATI video card. I'm not up to date on the current state of the art when it comes to Xeon processors anymore. However on the topic of CPUs, with the i7 you are getting four cores. With a dual board, you could get 8. The mobo pricing is already high anyway...

It's optional to support a chipset feature. What is your monitor situation? I would recommend a 5770 (make sure it supports Eyefinity). If you find that not enough (and I haven't had the need yet), you can add a second 5770, to basically get the equivalent of a 5870. BTW you may need a new...

Not a bad price for the latter (with the PCI-X as well as the PCI-E). I would hold off for a few weeks, the 6 core Opterons coming on to the market should cause the Xeons to drop in price.

BTW you will find many tasks such as ripping/burning dvds etc take almost no CPU time, as it is a DMA operation. With video, again most of the heavy lifting is off loaded to the GPU. Now re-encoding video, that does take some CPU cycles.

The Xeon mobo that seems to be acceptable is the X7DWA, about $400 from Newegg. http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon1333/5400/X7DWA-N.cfm 2 * PCI-E 16x (2.0) plus PCI-X 133. Support dual socket 771 Xeons. You would need to check if both slots can operate independently (often a...

*blubbers* my E6600 doesn't even make the list!

BTW I wouldn't consider the i7 range to be any kind of value for money stakes, overpriced for what you get. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.342425 Quad core (albeit at a "measly" 2.9GHz) plus a mobo for less than $200.

I would recommend keeping the PCI-X cards in your current system, use it as a file server/second system. Start afresh with PCI-e v2 and a modern mobo. It's impossible to define a cpu by just a single number.

Finally installed 7 64bit and got the gpu client running on the 5770.

Bonus requires: 1. Run the latest SMP client (v6.29 or above). 2. Configure that client with a passkey. 3. Complete 10 a2 and/or a3 work units... a. within their preferred deadlines b. using the same passkey and fah user name combination c. on one or more of your systems. 4...

Well if effortless loudness on a couple of Watts is what you are after a quintet of Klipshorns would do the job.

Didn't realize they are introducing an in-wall line (wifey approved!). http://www.svsound.com/products/2_SVS_Artisan&800RCES10Web.pdf

Greg, as MaxBurn previously mentioned, the "good" version has TrueHD audio as an option, the original only had uncompressed 5.1 PCM. Regarding encoding: "In addition to striking a brand new master, the studio has doubled its pleasure from a BD-25 single-layer disc to a BD-50 dual-layer disc...

Does your card support Eyefinity? My understanding is that to do this you need two monitors connected via DVI and/or HDMI and the third via displayport. The 5000 series currently having two timing sources for displays, DP provides the third. Not all cards can do the three monitor Eyefinity.

Truly a thing of beauty (though you may want to link to the "Large" version instead). Need to borrow one to carve out an ATV track in the back acres. Love the dug up floor showing it's devastating trail of destruction.

"I got my 2010 Prius this Summer via the Clunker program. It has this glitch. If you hit a bump while braking, the brakes release and you have to reapply pressure. Hasn't been much of a problem, but it could definitely cause an accident in an emergency stop."...

There are two versions of The Fifth Element on Blu-ray. The initial release uses MPEG2, and upon release was generally marked down for a poor quality image. It was then later re-released encoded in AVC with peaks in the mid 30 mbit/sec range (I believe from a better original source), the picture...

Which os drivers did you use on 2008 r2 Merc? Can't get the CCC to work on 2003 x64 SP2.

I'm looking forward to the forthcoming 6 and 12 core Magny-Cours AMD chips, looks like the chipsets will be all set to go with USB 3 and SATA 600.

Just started running 6.29 beta, with -SMP on a Q6600. http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadWinOther I believe there was a FAH forum post that mentioned that 8 cores at 2.8GHz could finish a unit in about 3 days.

Congrats Chewy!

If your speakers have an optical input, plug that into the TV, it should output the optical audio from the blu-ray player (with a best case of dolby digital 5.1). Of course the blu-ray player also has an optical audio output...

Virtual Clone drive and AnyDVD? How does it work when you have the Blu-ray disk in the drive and play directly from Power DVD 9, with the rest of that stuff disabled?

The problem is any investment in a PCI-X controller will be redundant in terms of moving that to your next build. Becasue PCI-X is basically dead going forward, unless you are going to continue on with an enterprise grade board which may have a mic of PCI-E and PCI-X. I understand where you are...

My comment was regarding receivers. 3D, 2K and 4K rez support seem to be the biggies, along with ethernet over hdmi (which requires new cables). For a TV as a computer screen now, 1.3 is fine and dandy, and certainly delivers TrueHD and DTS Master Audio with no problems.

At this point if considering buying a receiver it may be worth waiting for the versions supporting HDMI 1.4 to be released. I look at a receiver as a multi year purchase and this will be big in coming years. Re: plasma, latest plasmas from Panny etc don't seem to have any burn in issues, having...

What are the connection options for the speakers? Any toslink input?

Mobo supports usb2?

Greg, the poor performance would be due to the sata pci controller card. IIRC this is on 32 bit pci at 33 MHz, 100 MB/sec is the best one could expect from it.

Actually some of their products already have both memory stick and SD slots (my wife's Reader Touch is an example). All I know is the PSP I bought in 2005 that came with 32MB, now works fine with 8 and 16GB memory sticks. So in terms of lifecycle I haven't had problems.
