    Revolution Dev Kit - The Return of the Garage Gamers

    That's just the preliminary versions. Trusted companies are sent the SDK (software developemen kit) for testing and compatability. One of the last lines: On a final note, most studios working on Revolution titles think the console could retail under $200 US, possibly as low as $150. That's...

    Dell XPS Renegade

    That's overkill :D. They'd really have to work on the bandwidth side to keep all of those cards running smoothly. There's no way you could push enough video to them all lol. It'd be great though you'll have at steady fps of what? 250.. 300? I really see that only as a help to video and cad...

    <a href ="http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sim/airfixdogfighter/">Airfix Dogfighter</a> - What's more fun than flying a remote controlled airplane? This one puts you in a little kids house where you must use the planes you either find the plans to or unlock. There's numerous WWII style aircraft, from...

    Problem With USB

    I doubt there would be a big enough power drain by the cords, if that's where you're headed. The cables nowadays don't provide enough resistance to keep transmissions from being dropped. It's definitely a driver assignment problem within windws. Considering the ipod is being recognized and the...

    BTX Form Factor

    Yeah that's the standard BTX style. It's an improvement over using a regular ATX board turned around. I was just saying that you can do it. I really don't know why BTX was even created. It really doesn't offer an improvement over ATX, as far as design goes. I'd rather have my cards "fan up", but...

    Add another 512?

    I should have looked at the specs myself. Sorry about that. Unless you're doing resourse hogging progams like data movement/creation, you won't notice any increase in speed. The main reason for upgrading the ram is to increase system performance. Knowing what I do now, I'd say upgrading would be...

    Hello, Welcome To The Forums. Have A Bit Of A Sit Down and Introduce Yourselves

    Hi, my name is Jared Graham, and I'm a techaholic. My first time was with a 386 when I was about 5. Here I am at 21 and I've built at least 5 computers from scratch. Updated and reconfigured countless others. Computers are an expensive hobby, and I've been quite lucky. I had a side job...

    Problem With USB

    You may want to try turning the pc on with the device plugged in. That will give it an irq through the bios and windows should detect a usb device on startup. Make sure to have the JBL On Stage "On", up and running and possibly playing a song as windows loads. This will create an active...

    Nvidia 7900GT and GTX

    That's the logical thing, in my opinion. Yeah so the newer cards will offer a faster core, well why spend the money now when you can save up for the next core release. Smart man.. smart man.

    Ultra Products X2 550W PSU

    I absolutely love mine. I didn't and haven't noticed anything out of place with my power supply, but glad you caught it. This thing is truely a beaut. It's Sli certified, offers plenty of cables at many different lengths, and as you've shown, is very powerful. I myself had to make sure the fan...

    Nvidia 7900GT and GTX

    <a href ="http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=907">7900 Specs</a> It looks like so far everyone is quoting these people on specs. If what they've got listed is true, then where's this huge clock speed we're talking about? 450Mhz core? Ram speeds aren't listed but I'm going to guess...

    BTX Form Factor

    From what I've seen BTX looks exactly like ATX just upside-down. That would put today's cards fan up giving you some eye candy if you have a window. I wouldn't say the motherboards aren't available, considering you can use your current one just swapped. No, that's not the standard form factor...

    Nvidia 7900GT and GTX

    That's what I was wondring. I'm not trying to be nosey or nothing but roughly how much I could order one for. I could probably get a decent resell for my card now on ebay. With the aftermarket cooler and possibly a mod, it might pay for the newer card.

    Asking for a PSP

    I really don't see spending almost $300 for a handheld gaming device. A console, yeah that's different. I'd rather get something that I can watch on a large tv than something I've got to squint to see. Nothing against you or Sony but I'll go PS3 before buying a PSP. I don't see why companies are...

    Slow Read Times?

    Programmed Input / Output. Basically working off of the generic commands through bios. Reduces read and write speed, as you've noticed, tremendously. Ultra Direct Memory Access or UDMA is newer but has been out for many years. UDMA-6 is the fastest at 133mb/s, where as the first mode or UDMA-0...

    BF2 or BF2 SF

    BF2 rite here. As well as Dod Source and FarCry, BF1942, and UT2k4, just to list a few. I was told about this great mod for DoD:S which gives you back the accuracy of DoD 1.3. If any of you have played DoD:S you know the accuracy is horrid. Well this new mod uses all of the original coding but...

    Nvidia 7900GT and GTX

    Yeah, how much would it be to order up a 7900gt through your wholesalers? Looking at ~400 for a GTX is the reason I didn't go for one to start with. If you've got any info you can link us to it'd be much appreciated. Anything on the cards and chips please.
