This is a tread to attempt to keep the rest on track. Stop from being Hijacked. Or generally derailed. It needs to be computer oriented so please keep that in mind. It seems that "we the techies" seem to solve others issue and just have fun at the end of the tread, talking about what we are interested in. So here is an official spot to discuss computer related random topics that we can just let it roll. Please no flaming (we are pretty good about not doing that).

Your treads need more h, in my opinion

I have no idea what you are talking about ^^

"We the techies" consist of like four people I respect here. What you are doing right now is undermining a good thing as is. I haven't experienced any problems for a long time in this section of the forum.

In short, I do as I please. *wink wink*

Same as The Way Out. Doesn't seem like any of the threads here are hijacked with ill intent. Same goes for the general discussion following a solution.

This isn't a flame, so please don't take it as me trying to. Just noting my observations.

I hope I'm one of the ones The Way Out respects. Please oh please, let it be me.

Lol.

Indubitably. The rest of the forum is nublets like me, trying to learn from the wise ones, and a succession of fly-by-nights looking for a quick fix.

What I like about you if that you are active here, you are open to help, and you listen. There are way too many people here that don't know anything other than what they own and a couple things they have learned. It is the nature of some people to act as though they are experts with systems, even though they don't really know anything.

I am a firm believer in the general nature of forums and how it allows a community to grow together and share information. We naturally attempt to weed out the negative losers and fake know-it-alls. The people that don't quite fit in attempt to flame and barrage others to gain their 2 seconds of fame here, not realizing that they never will.

In the meantime, I tend to stick around this section because we don't have UB arguments and PvP vs PvE arguments here. Plus, Rahja and Quaker both hide out here and they are both knowledgeable.

I'm not hiding

EDIT: maybe "lurking" would be more accurate.

Good one quaker and the way out once more i got to agree with ya

And while i know alot of hardware and software i still think i can learn from others, which i doubt is never wrong

moriz · May 27, 2008, 04:14 PM // 16:14

post tech stuff? ok.

radeon HD4800 series. SPECULATE NOW!!!

You can't know everything. You can know a lot though

Kattar · May 27, 2008, 04:28 PM // 16:28

And if you know a lot, don't rub it other people's faces.

Especially since someone else will more than likely show up and pwn you and your "knowledge."

Pentium Pro with MMX Technology!!! Screaming 16MB or Single Inline Memory Modules!!!

don't laugh, i have a PC in my basement (or at least used to) that had those things.

i know there's one "review" out there that claims these cards run faster than a geforce 9800GX2. personally, i don't believe that's true. it might perform on par with the geforce though.

Snograt · May 27, 2008, 04:46 PM // 16:46

Let's wait 'til June 18th and see, eh?

Kattar · May 27, 2008, 04:52 PM // 16:52

Yeah, but the next iPhone will be out by then (that's the rumor anyway), so I won't care so much.

Cyb3r · May 27, 2008, 05:12 PM // 17:12

meh wait and see if nvidia finally decides to make a graphicscard that isn't more mhz = better graphicscard

Maybe then we'll see some neat things like happened when the R9700pro fully supported Dx9 for the first and did it good aswell oh well i can keep on dreaming -sigh-

moriz · May 27, 2008, 05:28 PM // 17:28

i've always had the opinion that the technology that went into the 8800GT was actually meant for the 9800 series. however, nvidia purposely released a stripped-down version prior to the launch of the HD3800 series, just to spoil the launch. after all, why would nvidia base so many of their current cards on the same technology?

in hindsight, it's easy to see that had nvidia not introduced the 8800GT, the HD3800 series would've been extremely competitive. nvidia essentially morgaged part of the future to remain competitive. they are kinda paying the price right now, but no really.

Aye, I like the tech forum because it is the only part of Guru that interests me, and I've learned a butt load of computer information from other people here the past few months. And lots of neat tricks and tips that I'd otherwise never know.

Rahja has some pretty neat information too - I just can't always absorb the bigger picture of it, gets pretty complicated.

Another reason I like this section is because it barely needs any moderating - since everyone usually keeps themselves under control, aside from our opinions now and then

doesn't hurt anyone though. And the people who post in here seem pretty nice and decent as well.

Marketing. Nvidia like to stay fresh in gamers minds.
