For Da Sick Ninja

[JonnyDough]

AND HOW THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS GETTING +4.0s?! do you really get THAT MUCH bonus?! my mind has been boggled. damn. i thought my 4.0 was somethign to be proud of....

Bonus? LOL, what kind of easy schools do you kids go to? We didn't have BONUS when I was in H.S. and we certainly don't in college! You either get an A+ or you don't. A+'s are RARE. You have to pretty much be a complete kiss ass.

I'm pulling a 3.0+ in college, halfway to my associates, part time. Everything we learn is strictly business. We don't do labs, we give presentations and write 10 page papers about corporate America, globalization, and management practices. Everything we learn is pretty much self taught, 3 hour class periods are just for lecturing about whatever the profs want, or learning about specific companies and how they run their business.

BTW, I keep narking on Taco because he's too well liked. He always jacks threads with personal crap. This was my thread, I didn't mean for it to turn into 10 pages about HS sports. It was to see if anyone else could come up with original ideas, and what you thought about mine...there's been a recent hardware "boom" in the computer industry, but we just got out of 5 years of very small hardware jumps. So to keep it real... Read Hergie's post above mine. 😛

Yes but keep in mind that this entire thread is aimed at me, and he represents me as a carrier of the DaClan banner. Therefore, on a bad day I could construe that as you aiming at me.

Today though, is not a bad day...

For Surge and UPS's, APC is pretty much still the best. My dad used to be partnered with a guy that had a better circuit design than APC like 15-20 years ago. At the time, they were APCs main competitor in corporate environments. Could of been a millionaire, but the guy was an asshole and refused to make stackable battery packs, or any other improvements to his design. Lost out on some HUGE corporate contracts that way.

I have some small experience with recovery software, and there is a software package I usually recommend for it, but I can't remember what its called. EZRecovery or something like that.

I would have been kinda interested in a cooling fan review (I'm kind of a noise nut), but I just put in a 140mm high-blade-count case fan and a Scythe Ninja to go with my AeroCool2 VGA cooler. Now my Opteron maxes around 45C and is pretty much as close to completely silent as possible.

 

[Lionhardt]

Yeah, Tacos does hijack a lot. But its constructive hijacking. 😉

 

[JonnyDough]

I'm SO pissed! Shouldn't an X1950GT be scoring higher in 3Dmark (05 AND 06) than my X1900 AIW card? Does it take into account the tv tuner and give it pts for that or something?

 

[hergieburbur]

The TV Tuner doesn't have anything to do with it. Are you looking at the total score, or the graphics subsection score? And isn't GT the indicator ATI uses for their lower end products?

 

[gloppppp]

a review on computer chairs would be nice...seriously

:arrow: Hey,I,m lookin for one,I keep breaking the kitchen units(2 now)which are subbing until I find one(in the $20.00 range),my old lady is freaking.

that is really a personal opinion. =(comfort)

but on the build quality and looks and durability, sure.

if i was gonna spend 100 or more on a chair i would spend sometime
(in-store) and sit in it look it over, all that shstuff.

then make my own decision.

 

[JonnyDough]

hmm, well, they both use the same gfx processor, so it's up to how well clocked the two cards are
well looking at the all in wonder, the x1950gt has slightly higher clocks (550/1200 vs 500/960), so I would assume the gt would have better scores considering they both use the same r570 core, but I could be wrong on that

No, you're right. The mem clock is higher. Even with the variations in cards (The AIW was pretty much on target, with rounding to get the 500mhz, like they always do). Technically, the GT SHOULD be getting better benchies.

 

[tool_462]

Yeah, hes a kool kat but I am sure he has better things to do than to test mouse pads. As far as tech info, Where's Wusy, Jumpingjack, 4Ryan6, thegreatgrapeape, verndewd, 1tanker, sirheck, ilovetacos, jakebarnes, prozac26, 3lfk1ng, turpit, anoobis, dasickninja, mpjessie, randomizer, dereck2006, crashman, & yes i will say it, baronmatrix.


Sorry for the guys i missed, but i have chops on the grill

*Goes to wipe the brown off his nose*

Bastard.

 

[everett]

Fixed it 😳

 

[JonnyDough]

Hehe. 🙂 Yeah Taco, might be it. Although I wouldn't imagine they differ much from those of the X1950Pro... :-( They all kind of use the same Catalyst...

 

[tool_462]

Tacos is just a noob. End of story.

 

[dasickninja]

And you figured this out only now??? 😛

They all went out to join the real world. And I followed suit.

Pish. Sucker. The real world is overrated. 😛

Since we're off topic...😛

Hey! That's the case I have! That same exact case can also be found under nMedia, AND MinMaw. WTF, THREE companies selling the same case? What's going on here? :-D

 

[tool_462]

damn tool....

Yes?

 

[hergieburbur]

Thats a fairly common practice. Its probably even odds that none of those companies actually makes it either.

Fo' shizzle' shiznit.

If your reppin west side, who are you supporting now that there aren't any good west coast rappers? And PLEASE don't say The Game (his name dropping and the MTV dating show appearance just kill his street cred).

 

[JonnyDough]

I'm running an FX-60 socket 939 full tower powerhouse, an FX-55 socket 939 mATX LAN party system, and a Pentium 4 HTPC. So the answer is yes, and I agree. 🙂

 

[hergieburbur]

2Pac....

Goes without saying. Thankfully, he has enough great songs that it doesn't get old.

Plus, listen to some of Game's mixtapes....

I can tolerate him sometimes, but I hate that he drops names of people he probably never even met (like EZ-E, he acts like they were tight).

Of course, out here they play Dipset to death, which gets old real fast.

Though Hot 97 did play a 4 hour BIG marathon the other day (anniversary of his death) that was pretty good.

I could pretty much listen to Pac, BIG, and Jay all day (if you mix in a few other good CDs).

 

[everett]

I agree, why buy a fx60 when you could just oc a 4400, 4600, or even an opty for that matter and have the same clock speed of the 60. :?

 

[JonnyDough]

IMO, I think the fx's are too much (especially considering you can get the 5200 for $220 where as the fx-62 is almost $500 just because of the unlocked mults), but if you got the dough (no pun intended), then they're worth the unlocked mults. Anyways, thats cool how you have two fx machines, I can't even afford one

Socket 939 man...the FX-60 is dual core @ 2.6ghz, but the FX-55 is a single core, same frequency. Don't NEED dual core for a gaming machine. I spent about $300 on the FX-60 and $130 on the FX-55 I think. I had a 4200+ X2 I sold for $220? I think (bought for $350), and an Athlon64 3000+ that was temporary (bought for $85?) which I still have if anyone cares to solder a pin back on it. I bent it when I took off a heatsink that was stuck to it a little too well (no I didn't use adhesive), and couldn't bend it back, it snapped. Which is why I'm glad they're doing away with these damn pins on processors. Motherboards are cheaper to replace, and with all the cheapo parts they have mobo's give out first usually anyway.

 

[lordaardvark2]

For what its worth to those of you looking at colleges, I got wait-listed at Carnegie Mellon (though I think that had a lot to do with a certain incident involving a suspension in HS, and the fact that I was applying for financial aid as a middle-class white male. More the suspension.) I ended up at PSU which has a pretty good computer science and engineering school. They have one of the top women in computer engineering as a professor. She specializes in lowering power consumption usage in processors and did a lot of work with Intel. She probably was at least a consultant for Pentium M and Conroe.

I decided I was sick of school and eschewed the whole Graduate School thing. Plus, someones got to earn the money. My wife's a PHD student at the moment. I may go back for one or more Grad degrees (Comp Sci or Comp Eng and possibly an MBA) eventually.

damn man all you guys have inspired me... [imaging finding inspiration on a tech forum... ]... i need to get off the computer and quit being average. i don't think i can RAISE my 4.0 but i really need to learn more on my own. wow you guys really are amazing, though.

here's to reaching for goals
