Then the silence on other matters means you agree with them, because you’re clearly not disagreeing?
Nope it still stands what I think.. your full of shite and know all so theres no point discussing, its the same bollocks as the Bike thread, nowt changes, nuff said

Erm, I fear you have once again fallen off your bike and hit your head, Magiker replied to the point you contradicted him on, he wasn’t discussing memory allocation. What he says he CAN and HAS backed up with hard evidence from a trusted site, you once again post a load of bollocks.
Personally if I were you I’d take a hint, we all think you are full of shit, not because you are wrong, but because of your staunch belief that you can never be wrong and refuse to accept anyone elses side of the argument AND the fact that more often than not you are wrong.

yeah – you’re still not paying attention and posting fiction as fact!! Stick to posting jokes or google a timeline on those nvidia and ati cards… and look up the early days off crossfire and supply issues.. and the fact that if you use a different card it cripples half the memory of the mastercard (nice when you paid extra for more ram) oh and if 1 card is slower they both run slower, whilst with sli the slower card gets overclocked… crossfire ft…w? Nah 😛

Mmm neither was I… what I meant was, if they’re only arguing about a dual core > single core and vice versa and not the fact that Vista is a waste of time etc… then their lack of argument on that matter is an agreement?

What the reply consists of is a list of numbers from a series of tests done in a scientific matter which in the wild really arn’t worth shit; not only because of the randomness of reality but because with only a few % variation you really cannot tell the difference. Anything can bat the same test for hours on end and spit out a bunch of numbers at the end of it – but do they also consider random/dynamic environments? Not as much as you would think. Then also notice the dual core systems are 33% faster than the single core chip in those benchmarks – but is that really due to the extra core or DDR2 800 over DDR 400? Do the benchmarks automatically mean they would wtfpwn every application too? No…
Then you’ve got to factor in cost. Is it worth paying 100 – 200% more than a good single core for an extra 33% performance on 1 tsted application?? After blowing £500 on CPU’s myself not much better than a chip half the price is the best performer even what you want?

Maybe I am but it’s still half as much shit as yall full of.

LOL. I conceded on Vista 32 vs XP 32 RE: RAM, but maybe you only see what you want to see.

This from the people who don’t even consider my side before rejecting it, as if it goes into the junk folder by default? I’d have you know if I was to reject someone’s opinion, the least I would do is consider it and actually try to understand it before dismissing it.

LOL. 3 points 1 Mistake. 2/3 ratio – 66% correct. Correct me if I’m wrong (:lol: ) but wouldn’t that ratio have to be below 50% for that to be the case? 🙄

March 13, 2007 at 9:05 pm #48455xdc magickerParticipantIntel Core Duo T2600 Socket 479 2.16GHz £265.98
AMD Athlon 64 FX-72 SocketF 2.8GHz £258.7510 quid difference – the duo is more powerful and there is 2 of them for a poxy 10 quid!!!!
March 13, 2007 at 9:10 pm #48456AnonymousParticipantThat’s not fair though you’re supposed to use 2 of those 72’s… and it’s dual core 😥 On the other hand though the fact they’re on Socket F which is slated to support DDR3 could still give it an edge ❓

And when you had PC trouble who was right it was RAM and was everyone else wrong? @=XDC= wrote:
Ooh no it can’t be the Ballistix because it’s big and expensive and guaranteed and the problem is not one of it’s usual symptoms the problem lies with xXx 😛
But you atleast followed my advice and it was another instance where I was not wrong and you got your system back up and running at full steam (without a thanks :P)
I like to be right but tbh who likes to be wrong? Sure being right a lot can be boring and being wrong can be embarassing, but just because someone does not shed a tear does not mean they do not cry.

the advice you are giving here is miles off the mark and you cant see it

Once again ,sorry 🙁

That wouldn’t be too surprising… I’m not exactly getting any better… I’ve lost my ignition keys, garage keys, wallet, drivers licence, bank cards and house keys, mostly on searate occasions and on top of that when I’m going places I’m forgetting either where I’m going or why I’m going there… Old information still floats around here somewhere but new information is having trouble sinking in on the short-term… on top of existing problems such as temporary paralysis and muscle spasms… Brain Damage FTW. on the plus side I’m on the waiting list to see a Neurologist – by the time I’m seen to in x amount of years on the NHS I’ll probably be a vegetable 😆 But hey I’ll get free money and buy a nice single core pc on windows XP 😛

…ah yes ..the famous ‘Stone Road’ between Rugeley (where i live.. yes I know no-one’s heard of it!) and stafford.. happy days tanking along in my Mk2 Escort (with obligitory big bore exhaust and lowered to within an inch of its life!) trying to hit the magic 100mph… happy days indeed. 🙂
March 13, 2007 at 10:35 pm #48465XDCsPUNKerParticipantThe kitten Wins. Its game over:
oh Rugely eh? had a mate from there called Wayne Stanway. Used to work with him at Alton Towers. Did i say work? I meant loaf 😉
