I don't see who to contact. None of these seems to be appropriate. Two or three years ago, there was an e-mail provided with each press release at AMD, but it seems that it's no longer the case.

Woooo! Great work guys, we managed to build a small gap (252 units) between us and Team Pfeffer. It the first day in maybe a week that we process more units than they do. The war isn't over, we might be able to resist!

That was supposed to be a joke, but apparently, you guys really want me to try? How the hell does an editor is supposed to sound? (browsing old e-mails from Eugene and Davin) I'll try, but don't expect anything. I'll send the message tomorow morning. It wouldn't be serious to send a formal...

I dunno what it means HD. Maybe I should think about buying a crystal ball someday for cases like this one. Do you think their PR bullshitters...Errr, marketing people, would answer if I would send them an e-mail and present myself as a hardware site editor (actually, just semi-co-webmaster of...

Revolting. I have to learn how to use Linux more than I currently do. Bunch of bastards. This should be a lesson to all the clueless pro-capitalist ignorants out there. Capitalism is NOT a good economical system and yes, there are alternative. Only thing lacking is will to change for the...

The only definition in which a Radeon 7000 (which is, I repeat, none other than a Radeon VE) can reach 90FPS in Quake III is at 640x480. I admit the review at Anandtech is dating a bit, but ATI hasn't produced drivers able to double the frame rates at 800x600 or above since then for that card...

Ahhh, the Virge. First and only 3D graphic decelerator ever produced... The Trio was a decent card though. And it is compatible with everything AFAIK. I never crossed an OS than didn't have drivers for the Trio. The S3 Trio is like the Toyota Tercel of the graphic card world. Not...

You are talking about the Radeon 7000 (sometimes called Radeon VE). Among ATI's lineup, it's the card with the worst 2D quality. Its RAMDAC is 300MHz instead of 350MHz and the filtering circuit isn't as elaborate as on the other Radeon, resulting in 2D quality better than the pre-Titanium...

Quand est-ce que j'ai dit que je ne parlais pas bien français? It's not because I don't speak French with an European accent that I don't speak it properly.

I've been paying 52% tax on my earnings for quite a while. But then again, Québec is probably the most taxed territory in North America. Here, you have to take RRSP if you don't want to work mostly for the government. Lucky Americans, only 37% tax maximum. If you would only learn to speak...

But since you insist : Office box :1)Matrox 2)ATI 3)NVIDIA Titanium serie and later 4)Trident Blade 3D integrated into the north bridge of VIA PLE133 cheapset . . . . 5)NVIDIA before Titanium. Gaming rig :1)NVIDIA Titanium serie and later 2)ATI 3)NVIDIA before Titanium. General purpose home...

Dunno for Tony, but I don't really keep a list of the graphic cards that worked well for me. When I have to build a system for my customers, I go with what I feel would be the best for them at the moment. And since I'm almost the only one person I know who upgrades/installs drivers (unless I...

Shamefully, there are still (or until very recently) a few major OEMs as well as a lot of Mom&Pop shops that put TNT2 (often M64!) in their current system configurations. Totally shameful, but nonetheless true.

That's probably because of the impressive amount of juice these cards draw from the AGP slot. I remember it caused many issues with several motherboards at the time. 2D was also sub par. I have very few complains about NVIDIA cards since they rose the reference design for their Titanium line...

Do you still have the off-centered image problem now after the clean WinXP install (clean WinXP???) and new drivers installed?

Please don't post a BMP on this forum, it's too huge. Change it to a gif or png, but not a bmp. People on dial-up will hate you. Ahh women! I suppose you also buy cars because of their color?

I just thought about something. Maybe TH made a mistake in the graph the first time you saw the review. They have now corrected it but you don't see the corrected graph since the graph loads from your browser's cache. Clear your browser's cache and revisit the page.

We apparently don't see the same graph. I see 5.9 for the MAM and 12.6 for the 60GXP. Maybe it's my eyes, but I would swear...

Don't forget, we are talking access times, not seek times.

SR measured 12.3ms average read access time for that same drive so I guess the answer is : yes. Check in the database.

I only saw access times, not seek times (this page) and they aren't that different from those at SR. The access times measured at TH for the MAM are similar to the read access times at SR and most others are slightly lower (WD1200JB/Bar. ATA IV) or slightly higher (MAN). This isn't the biggest...

Used HDTach. Proclaim the Fujitsu "the fastest drive available" but only tested it against another 10K SCSI and a bunch of ATA drives. No signs of the X15-36LP in the graphs. Made mistakes like : While any half-ass knows a half-heigh drive is 1.6" high and not 1.5". Showed that they don't...

Do you think you'll have to download it often? -> Do you want me to link it in the download section?

Yes, the K7T Pro2A uses the KT133A chipset, but that's not the cause of the problem. Actually, the K7T Pro2A wasn't a bad motherboard at all. Anandech ran a few servers on it. The KT266A from MSI is a POS however, but not their KT133A. BTW Doug, using 3 unbuffered sticks of RAM is nothing to...

I'm pretty sure he is still in Estonia ;-) Doug, Since it can be related to ressource sharing, do you set your BIOS to let the OS take care of the ressource assigment or do you ask the BIOS to set them - ie, Do you set "Plug n'pray OS installed" to yes or no?

I had a few problems running the Genome client on Win9x OS. The safest way to close it when I had to shut the system down was to use ctrl+C. But I presume you use it on Win2K or Os/2.

Wow, I never realized upgrading the latest ATI Radeon driver could be so problematic for some people. I don't know what to tell you, it's hard to figure a solution to a problem I never had. I never had to mess in the registry in order to install any ATI Radeon driver, maybe this is where you...

Coug needs more than the usual 3-4 hours of sleep/day of hairy Aussie. Doug saw it before me though, so you didn't have to wait till I get off my ass. Good thing for us. Welcome in the team, monkey.

:o Thanks for your work on the Genome team page, I completly forgot to work on it this week :oops: Regarding Team Pfeffer, I have a little project of my own to keep them at distance. More on this later if I my plan works. JoJo, see how badly we need your support.

No Tannin, Colombia. They love the rich (compared to them) gringos down there.

Sorry for the small mistakes (I screwed a "if") in the above post. My mouse didn't listen to me when I told it to click on "Preview" and it clicked on "Submit" instead. I'm sure it did that just to piss me off, but it will pay!

I saw the news you linked (X-bit Laboratories is one of my daily visits) and I have a theory about the delayed Thoroughbred and presumably cancelled Barton : AMD combined both. Thoroughbred will only come in June (the 5th IIRC), so maybe AMD is tweaking its core with a few improvements that...

I haven't installed them yet because my sole computer with a Radeon card is used by someone else (I passed it to a relative who needed it). But if the 7.68 is like the 7.60 (last version I installed on my foreign system), everything should be seemless. That's how I usually upgrade drivers (in...

Hilarious Bill, I have stomach cramps because of you!

And with the new driver (v7.68 ) I linked on the front page, they are now even better :mrgrn:

I would probably do it if asked. Not because I would like the guy but simply to do some exercice and see how much I improved since last moving (self challenge : carry alone the damn fridge up to the third floor!). But I know you aren't very fond of physical efforts so if you don't care for...

Well Cliptin, you better tweak your computer running the Genome because we will need all the support we can get. Team Pfeffer added two new players to their team and they are coming back on us frighteningly fast! JoJo, please don't follow NRG=MC² and don't stop to help us. We won't resist...

Err...Actually, it was Cliptin and not me.

Looking at the number of posts since this morning, it must have been down for everyone.

Hi, I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed it, but the site has been down for a long period late this morning up to a few hours ago (at least for me). Guess Burst still has improvements to do :(

Come on HellDiver, this was the first thread I read where you participated and that you had not been an ass (up to the post I quoted) in a loooonng time. Please don't stop your medication and don't let your testosterone level rise too much. Calling you HellTroll was uncalled (I think), but...

Although I don't plan to ever live in the States, it's nice to know. Thanks.

Statsman is always a little late. The most accurate place to see the total number of units done by the team is there. It's generally updated once every three hours, usually about half an hour before this page, which is the second most accurate place to see how far we are. Statsman is actually...

SF team has now designed 1000 genes! Congratulations everyone!! I don't know any GUI else than the command line window and I don't know how to send the usual window to the system tray. However, I expect great improvements in the soon-to-be-released client 2.0 and I hope it will be good enough...

Hmmm.... Despite his name, our NRG seems to be a bit apathetic these days. Too bad, he was crunching at a good pace for us during the short period he did contribute.

Forget it, no more to sell! I remember why I thought it was a narrow SCSI drive, there was an adapter on the Ultra2Wide connector. I never remarked it before, I thought the drive was made like that. I'll retest the 'Cuda latter to see if it will work this time (I shouldn't have any problem to...

Upon verification, the drive doesn't have a narrow SCSI but an Ultra2 SCSI interface. It's a Barracuda 18LP (model # ST39175LW). It's more recent than I thought, but since I have no use for it, I would let it go anyway.

Mercutio, It would have been simpler if you would have just writen that you were looking for 75GXP ;-) I have a non functional old Barracuda 9GB SCSI hard drive. My controller cannot access it (no format possible), although it detects it. Maybe it's just because they aren't compatible with...

Hey, YOU are the illiterate (when busy elsewhere) and I'm the one who doesn't know how to count (when I'm dead tired). Don't put everything on my back! Mark's listing of memory latency doesn't include the fact that DRAM needs several clock cycles from the moment they are asked to provide data...

Yes, I was and I still am. Spliting my night in two because of the funerals of the Queen Mother isn't good I guess. I'll try to fix that ASAP, but it's hard to sleep when you woke up at 1pm. BTW Time, HellDiver is big enough to defend himself alone, you don't need to step in at his rescue...
