About Me
Hi. I'm James, and I live in Sydney and I play video games and read comic books. I really like gangsta stuff cos I'm asian. I think Biggie is gangsta enough, and so is Lone Wolf and Cub. But I do also listen to Pavement, cos Stephen Malkmus is sort of tough in a kinda brittle way.

Please visit my BLOG and subscribe to my weekly podcast about two young Aussie lads living in the great city of Sydney. Oh and they talk tech and games too.



This is what I live on when I starve myself for days on end:

Intel Vs Nvidia.
Mr Jamie | 8:39 AM on 06.07.2008 7 comments


So i read that intel's not gonna allow Nvidia to make any of its Nforce chipsets to be compatible with the new Nehalem architecture.
Apparently it's a tactic that Intel's using as an offensive against Nvidia's tight grip on its SLI license. Great. now, we as consumers are gonna be the losers again. It's a lose-lose situation.
If Nvidia keeps being stubborn, and they probably will, and keeps the SLI exclusivity on its Nforce chipset mobos, then we can say good bye to multi-gpu awesomeness in conjunction with the next line of awesome intel cpus. While if Nvidia gives up the license to intel and allows intel chipsets to feature SLI, then we're probably gonna stop seeing awesome nvidia mobos because they just wont have the incentive to make them awesome anymore.

I say for the good of the masses, Nvidia loosens its grip on the SLI license and the universe will be in harmony again. in awesome CPU+ multi-GPU harmony, that is.

That sucks. Not that I have the money to put together an SLI capable machine, but it'd be nice if everyone could cooperate. The more the big companies fight over licenses the more we have to pay for components and the gap between PC and console cost just continues to grow.

Also, that's one more generation of machines that still won't be able to max out Crysis.

SLI is worthless. Absolutely, 100% worthless.
Also Nvidia will roll over in a heartbeat if they think Intel's thread is serious/sustainable. CPUs are the centerpiece of a computer in most builders' minds, it leads the technology decisions.

juicy couture tracksuits Starting only selling clothes and other miscellaneous items in your sports section but today is a huge player in the fashion market that sell items such as the dreamer coach outlet that there is a massive demand for women among the fashionistas. juicy handbags has become one of the major labels that are in fashion today. I like juicy couture handbags, and Juicy Couture Perfume!
