you'll probably never hear me say fanboy. Im pretty open minded, and most importantly, everyone is entitled to their opinion. So long as they're not trying to ram it in my face LOL!

ROFL I was referring to the wee argument me and Sam got into with Shokz about something a while ago... WHICH IS NOW IN THE PAST!
Hey I just noticed this on Play:
Assassin's Creed II: Black Edition (Play.com UK Exclusive Collector's Edition)
They all want a piece of the Black Edition pie!
I could put something funny here but I cant be arsed. Now GO AWAY! |

Well if you know my PC build history you know I am no fanboy. I've used several products from ATi, Nvidia, AMD and Intel. I just buy what's best for the money(with a bias towards higher end hardware).
At this time AMD/ATi is playing hardball with the amazing price drops. Not only that they have had the better value for a while. I remember when I picked up my 4870s for $300 a piece, the GTX280 was over $600. I know I got a better value and I bought my cards at the original release price plus a rush order and shipping on each!
I know the Phenoms were terrible but the Phenom IIs have some phenomenal(pun not intended) deals. The 720BE is one of the fastest products for the price I have ever seen. Intel has dual cores at ~70% higher prices than the 720BE!

True, but some of those are actually just as fast with only two cores, and that has some big benefits for dual threaded applications.

I know that for sure. But for overall price/performance the 720BE is very hard to beat. It whoops the dual cores in multi-threaded apps. And as for single/dual threaded, come on it's a Phenom II. It's still gonna be really really fast :)

Lol well, that's relatively speaking isn't it. per-core it can be outperformed by something that costs only 55% as much (the E6300 II), so it's nothing to shout about. In multi-core apps it's fast, but it needs to be, because there are quad cores out there for little more (the Q8200 is only 12% more).

Estuansis,
You've ran Windows 7. Do you do any imagery authoring/re-authoring? Im noticing a slight bug, which would no doubt bother the common person. What happens is, (for example) i'll "Save As" a picture to another format, delete the old via Shift-Delete (permanent deletion), and it will APPEAR to stay there. If I close the folder and come back, its gone. This seems to happen indefinitely so far. LOL, now that ive said that, it won't do it anymore! Perhaps something is running in the background...

Nope, happens to me anywhere, as long as it's on my server. Currently wrestling with USB composite device errors.

ive dealt with a networked(shared pc) before, and dealt with a similar issue, REGARDING DELETING FILES.
But this new bug, on my pc seems to be localized to the "Pictures" folder. Very weird

And it doesn't seem to be a background process. Im at a loss here. The RC edition won't let me send feedback in the traditional beta sense. Guess i'll have to do it another way LOL!
At least windows photo viewer appears to be working correctly now. I couldn't preview 1200Dpi documents before. Now I can.
Actually, I think it had more to do with width, opposed to DPI

I'm actually experimenting with it in a dual boot. It's great but still a bit buggy. Compared to Windows Vista it's perfect, lol. VERY EXTREMELY excited for virtual Windows XP. Windows 7 seems like the answer to our prayers, lol. Looks to be the best OS to come out since all holy Windows XP! I WILL be BUYING it.
As previously stated, sorry for any apparently drunk posting :S

My version of the beta did this right before more and more problems started appearing e.g. new folders didn't didn't automatically go to rename, Scheduled tasks packed up etc.
And there WAS Send Feedback in control panel but I've jsut looked and its disappeared. Very strange!
I could put something funny here but I cant be arsed. Now GO AWAY!

HELP my 4850's died so only a very select few games work and on the others I get big old spikey things all over my screen. Assassins creed works but you can see lighting through walls and people.
I've tried uninstalling driver cleaning and then reinstalling but haven't achieved anything :-(
What a downer my year 11 proms this afternoon!
