Is this app still alive? Is it newer? The author seems to be G.W. van der Vegt. Just wondering. Have reported 'ghosts' that will not delete. Thanks, Duncan

What is the difference between 660 TI and the plain 660 besides a hundred bucks in the price? Is there any Nvidia card manufactures to stay away from? At 12:03 PM 3/16/2013, you wrote: 660ti? On Sat, Mar 16, 2013 at 9:53 PM, Winterlight wrote: > I am currently running two Sapphire ATI

Unfortunately, I think this just happens sometimes. I've had it happen with multiple models of Dell, Auria and Asus monitors, with multiple generations of AMD and nvidia GPUs, on multiple motherboards/platforms, across multiple OS versions, and over multiple interfaces (DP and DVI). In my case, pow

You'll likely see a bigger advantage moving from the i5 to the i7 than moving from 2nd to 3rd gen. At least some of the applications you list should be able to make good use of the i7's HyperThreading technology. HT is no longer a joke like it was in the P4 days--some highly threaded workloads can

[H] Core 2nd vs 3nd Gen

2013-03-16 Thread Anthony Q. Martin
It seems as if the only real benefit, of dubious value it seems, is PCI 3.0. If my applications are start number crunching (like in Matlab), video editing and encoding, what is the payoff of a 3rd gen over a 2nd gen Core processor, assuming one is using a discrete GPU and not the internal inte
