because it is so unpopular it's harder to hack and I am not kidding !

it so happens I have 17" Eizo it's MVA and I can already tell it's way nicer than this TN W-LED cra...

new Via Nano are decent CPUs with OoO execution. Much better design than Intel Atom. it was C3-C7 series that was slow (very weak FPU). Via Nano are made from scratch and have nothing to do with C3 IPC wise Via Nano is not so bad. If this quad core were made in normal form and clocked 4GHz...

It will be very nice gaming monitor

900MHz? are they mad? :banghead:

Hardware acceleration have ugly font rendering and a lot of other issues related to fonts and other things. WebGL basically don't work at all. and it crashes like crazy on me...

I used most Opera 12 builds and some were quite good (those more similar to 11.6x) and some (new ones) horrendous with a lot of issues (like bad favicons scaling - very annoying), instabilities, html5 video was screwed up and some builds had problems with loading pages (sometimes very slow and...

4 core is performance/price (manufacturing costs) sweet-spot and with HT it can take advantage of >4 thread support if someone needs or think he/she needs more processing power then there are 6 and 8 core CPUs in the market... (and I'm not talking AMD here :shadedshu)

you are probably right. In case of GPU it's better to add more cheaper memory

Me too :toast: Vista is not only not worse than Win7 but it's actually faster :eek: Some tweaking is needed (disabling services that trash hard disk all the time) but after that it's obvious that GUI speed of Vista is much better :rockout: Also what I find strange: audio quality in Win7 is...

+25% performance in Skyrim? Can't skip this one :D ps. hope they didn't disabled dragons ;)

my crappy i3 (from beginning of 2010) is 15x faster than processors the had in 2000 (~PIII 1GHz) and more than 6x faster in single core perfrormance. Intels 10GHz figure is because they had high hopes for NetBurst and it is understandable because they were able to double clock speed with this arch.

my motherboard wasn't HP branded (there were no HP logo) but where from it was I don't realy know cause I bought it used. It was probably generic thing on AMI BIOSes of that time... as for web browser in bios asus boards with linux inside could write on flash drives :rockout:

I had such thing too for my Pentium 166. It looked somewhat similar to GEM (and with that to Win3.1x too) but you really couldn't move any windows around :) I was pretty disappointed that later computers had normal ugly bioses but eventually got used to them :)

what a ugly board :wtf:
