Game News Oblivion sysreqs revealed

What? It's a naming gimmick. Why no?


And yes, you should've used e.g. not i.e.

 

[Chefe]

Actually, both mean the same thing.

You would have known that had you spent more time in English class and less time puffing the magic dragon.

 

[kingcomrade]

No, they don't.
i.e. means something like "in this case"
e.g. means something like "a generic example that illustrates my point"

If you'd used real cards, then i.e. would've been appropriate.

The Dell rumor is still a rumor. The Apple deal is a drop in the ocean compared to the bigger computer market. Intel is just riding them for the cool PR image of Apple.

Google search. It works. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/31/dell_amd_march/

As for apple, the reason for Intel getting on Apple (for their point of view) is to get out of the shadow of Microsoft. Gates does not like Intel remember?

And lastly, I'm an AMD user, I haven't burned any chips. The latest AMD chips have been cool and have thermal protection. Intel's later P4's and derived CPUs have been friggin hot however.

Intels are hot, but even the P3 could handle over heating better then AMD's before Tom's Hardware got on the case. I'm glad AMD fixed it faster then Intel and their floating point error problem a few years ago.


Chefe: I agree, I wished they just stuck with the MHz/GHz.

You idiot. It means the same thing.

If it would please your soul, then I was renaming ATI's current lineup.

Look, it's not a complicated concept.

Q. What is the difference between i.e. and e.g.?
A. I.e. means "that is" (to say). E.g. means "for example."
I.e. is an abbreviation for Latin id est, "that is." E.g. is for exempli gratia, "for the sake of example." So you can say, "I like citrus fruits, e.g., oranges and lemons"; or, "I like citrus fruits, i.e. the juicy, edible fruits with leathery, aromatic rinds of any of numerous tropical, usually thorny shrubs or trees of the genus Citrus." In the first sentence you are simply giving an instance of a citrus fruit; in the second you are giving an explanation. E.g. simply indicates an example; i.e. specifies, explains. Compare: She loves to read non-fiction, e.g., reference books and how-to books vs. He had one obvious flaw, i.e. his laziness.

 

[Chefe]

Anyways, about the whole overheating thing...

You're all idiots.

P4's run hotter because they can handle running hotter. They were built to withstand running hotter. They can take it. Intel designed them to. ATI's run cooler, thus they don't need to be designed for extreme temperatures.

Intels run hotter. Intels can handle it.

i.e. = id est = that is

e.g. = exempli gratia = for example

latine colloquamur!! :D

 

[Rat Keeng]

Get a brain morans! Ech, e.g. means "for example", i.e. means "in other words".

EDIT: Yeah whatever you one-minute timing bastard latin smartasses!

Okay.

Incorrect.

 

[Chefe]

I think the word you were searching for is "correct".

 

[aweigh]

or how about the Radeon 6701 B+ Negative vs. the GeForce GX 672 BEP AT&T XTRA.
It would be so much nicer if they called them the-
Radeon 1 Cheap Version
Radeon 1 Medium Version
Radeon 1 Expensive Version
etc.

That's too simple. The trick is to make it look good without being too complicated.

i.e.
Radeon 1000 "Lite" Version
Radeon 1000 "Professional" Version
Radeon 1000 "Advanced" Version
etc.

And CPUs should be measured in GHz. None of this 2800+XP-M-Pro bullshit. Is your CPU 2.8 GHz? Then fucking label it 2.8 GHz.

Then people wouldn't know that the A64 1.8GHz is better than the P4 2.8GHz. It's a necessary evil, because Intel chose to stick with long pipes for the Northwood and Prescott revisions.

 

[aweigh]

I think the word you were searching for is "correct".

Prescott's overheating is a big a problem as it was on some Athlon's back in the day. Intel had to implement thermal throttling on their P4's because they kept overheating and dying. If you'd bothered to do a simple google on the subject you'd have found many people complaining about this very thing, and the fact that the thermal throtlling borders on criminal fraud. (You're playing a game, your P4 overheats, it scales down to 2.8GHz from its spec'd 3.2GHz. You just paid for a 3.2GHz processor that runs at 2.8GHz, have fun!)

I think the phrase you were searching for is "You're right, Chefe."

Are you being witty with me? Have I fallen under your Trap Card of ironic comedy? Just tell me you're just bringing teh funny and I'll drop it.

yo dont sass mama wurd

Ruthie from 7th heaven is very bangable.

Nothing like being alone in the office at 5:30, waiting for a stupid fucking text file to import and finding a NSFW link on the Codex. Cheers! :D

 

[aweigh]

Indeed I was.

Edited.

 

[Thrawn05]

edit: After some inner reflections, I have decided to retract my statement.


peace :D

I tried finding direct links to the images of Chiaki Kuriyama (Go-Go Yubari) naked at 11 years old. She used to pose nude for a children's photographer back in the day. Anyway, all of the sites that had the pics only had thumbnails, and asked for a SEX KEY PASS whatever when I tried viewing them.

 

[Micmu]

Now that's sick and something new to (forcibly) see here, creeps.

 

[Chefe]

Okay, that's taking it a bit to far.

You see, I was only joking...
