An Update

I've been working feverishly on this HL2 CPU Scaling article, I was hoping to have it done by the end of this week but it will be done (for sure) for publication next week. I've done CPU scaling charts for about half of the cards now, I've only got 1 more PCI Express card and then I move onto the AGP cards. Depending on how much time I have (and/or how sick of Half Life 2 benchmarking I am), I may do some GPU/memory bandwidth scaling on a card per card basis as well to find out where the limitations with the various GPUs lie.

It looks like there finally may be some resolution to the NVIDIA's Video Processor fiasco, I'm hoping for a public release of the driver by the end of this year but that's pure speculation on my part.

Next week I'll be making a trip up to ATI's Mac offices in Massachusetts, which will mark the first Mac related AT trip I will have ever made. Let me know if there are any questions the Mac community would like to have answered by ATI and I'll do my best to get them answered for you all. I do have two Mac articles in the works, I'm just at a loss for time right now but one of them will be published this month.

That's about all for now, for some reason it feels like a Friday but it's only a Wednesday. If I were still in school I would've hated that feeling and even now I still long for the weekends, it's just a different type of longing. Very difficult to explain, I'll try to do so later.

Take care...

    wow, talk about service, thanks for that video card overclocking article

    now, about those stress-coping benchmarks... I think the exchange above is a pretty good place to start

    personally, I had to take about 12 ounces of gin to get over it

    #25: Ohhhh, so you did you pass your high school, but still doesn't change the fact that you are a low life.

    Ok Dee, if you want to get technical you have a number of fragments, use of passive voice, use of first person and, multiple there grammar and spelling errors.

    #22: My previous comments were directed towards you. And no, I did not fail kindergarten, but it looks like you did.

    It's Kindergarten, not Kindergarden.

    Are you plain stupid or retarded? Wait...don't answer that. I think we all know the answer to that.

    Asshole...

    #15: I guess the questions should be: are you 15 or 30? Are you smart or dumb? Are you ignorant or do you lack knowledge? Are you making any sense or not? Did you wife divorce you yet or not?

    BTW, these are all rhetorical questions. Rhetorical questions are questions that don't require an answer (just saving you some time looking up the definition on dictionary.com).

    I just made fun of you, did you liked that or not?

    Haha, what a loser!

    Hey, can you play demanding games like doom 3 or half-life 2 w/ a 25m/s response monitor time or will they be laggy?
