03:44:48 <stefan> hmm, so much did that blackout knock out?
03:45:03 <stefan> seemingly not sid, but Carson?
04:24:35 <Timegrinder> apparently
04:24:44 <Timegrinder> it was two brownouts for me
04:24:54 <Timegrinder> or did you have a full on blackout for a while?
04:24:59 <Timegrinder> I just got two brownouts about an hour ago
04:25:03 <Timegrinder> nothing before that
04:25:19 <stefan> 1:24 had it dropped for a second, came back for a second, and went out for 1h30m
04:25:31 <Timegrinder> ah okay
04:26:08 <Timegrinder> DSDC is out :)
04:26:15 <stefan> 1h20 probably, but either way, not enough for any sane ups to handle
04:26:51 <stefan> DSDC?
04:27:25 <Timegrinder> dsdc or dcds or something
04:27:30 <Timegrinder> AMD '4x4' thing
04:27:34 <stefan> oh nice
04:27:40 <Timegrinder> Dual CPU Dual Core FX7?'s
04:27:52 <Timegrinder> dual shared something or other from memory
04:28:01 <stefan> hah, just got to wait for them to come out in a viable series
04:28:18 <Timegrinder> according to cnet you can get 2x FX72'r or 74's (either way the top one) for $1000USD
04:30:38 <Timegrinder> http://news.com.com/AMD+blasts+off+Quad+for+PC+DIYers/2100-1042_3-6139465.html
04:31:43 <stefan> nice, 4 graphics capable slots, affordable oct head
04:32:03 <stefan> well, they imply that
04:32:08 <Timegrinder> haha
04:32:12 <Timegrinder> implication is nothing really
04:32:21 <Timegrinder> FX74 = 3ghz*2 apparently
04:32:31 <Timegrinder> even though the amd website fails to have '*2' or 'x2' anywhere
04:32:40 <Timegrinder> so that could give you 1.2thz
04:33:08 <Timegrinder> Dual Socket Direct Connect
04:33:10 <Timegrinder> DSDC
04:33:21 <Timegrinder> I get the impression that it's pretty much serial cpu's really
04:33:30 <stefan> likewise
04:33:32 <Timegrinder> there was a picture diagram but it was tiny and I couldn't enlarge
04:33:59 <Timegrinder> oh and they've coined the term 'megatasking' now
04:34:05 <stefan> hah
04:34:07 <Timegrinder> apparently AMD's better at multitasking with less CPU's than intel is
04:34:12 <stefan> hopefully better performance than simply dual dual cores
04:34:25 <Timegrinder> pretty sure it's just dual dual cores, dual chipsets...
04:34:30 <Timegrinder> its like they just merged two mobo's together really
04:34:33 <Timegrinder> and connected it all together
04:34:55 <stefan> got the impression it was dual on a higher level though, not quite on the die, but closer, possibly it's not really though
04:35:09 <Timegrinder> http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_9485_9488%5E14602,00.html
04:35:26 <Timegrinder> well I suspect DSDC gives it better connectivity
04:35:33 <Timegrinder> so for starters, it should run better than a standard dual cpu board
04:35:56 <Timegrinder> I love the way when you talk about computing, you use the word 'enthusiast' for anyone who's got too much money
04:36:01 <Timegrinder> Or is relatively an idiot
04:36:19 <Timegrinder> bahaha, it got released yesterday apparently, er, thursday
04:36:21 <stefan> would be interesting to see how DSDC would compare to dual dc opterons
04:36:21 <Timegrinder> birthday present for meeeee
04:36:33 <Timegrinder> go buy some and benchmark them :P
04:36:54 <stefan> I figure one of our amd suppliers owes us a favour ;P
04:37:13 <Timegrinder> damn fucking right they do
04:37:16 <Timegrinder> but like hell they'll discount something like that :P
04:37:28 <Timegrinder> It's funny
04:37:34 <Timegrinder> AMD have dual dual cores, intel have singular quad cores.
04:37:42 <Timegrinder> Which one of them's going to get the other half first?
04:38:07 <Timegrinder> all it should take is for either intel to dual quad core, or for amd to get to mid 07 and launch their quad core cpus
04:38:35 <stefan> more importantly, when are they going to start getting a decent amount of things multi core processing capable
04:38:56 <stefan> multicores are still nice, but for them to become that useful mainstream will take a bit of work on software still :\
04:39:34 <Timegrinder> well they're still extremely useful currently
04:40:06 <stefan> hah
04:40:06 <stefan> http://bash.org/?706299
04:40:22 <Timegrinder> rofl
04:40:35 <Timegrinder> Nope, there's no nudity
04:40:45 <Timegrinder> Just FULL FRONTAL MUTILATION
04:41:09 <Timegrinder> but fuck, seriously, if they were $1000AUD I'd be tempted to buy them
04:41:26 <Timegrinder> the pair of FX72's are about the same cost as a core2Extreme
04:41:36 <Timegrinder> so you'd spend about the same amount of money on them
04:41:47 <Timegrinder> except I'd have to buy a pci-e video card too... and a new psu
04:41:53 <Timegrinder> since the fx72's are 120w or some shit
04:42:15 <Timegrinder> It's probably cost at least 2k
04:43:06 <stefan> yeah, nfi what I'll be doing next, next upgrade will be for the new UT I hope
04:43:19 <Timegrinder> ah yeah
04:43:24 <Timegrinder> apparently amd are dumping the budget line(s)
04:43:32 <Timegrinder> so no more of this sempron bullshit
04:43:37 <stefan> ah good
04:43:55 <stefan> well my 939 board/cpu is pretty good, wouldn't be too hard to get rid of
04:44:09 <stefan> + x600
04:44:13 <stefan> XT
04:44:49 <Timegrinder> yeah
04:44:55 <Timegrinder> and amd cheated on the website
04:45:03 <Timegrinder> the architecture pictures are the same for 1207 and AM2
04:45:10 <Timegrinder> oh sorry
04:45:13 <Timegrinder> 'F' and 'AM2'
04:46:04 <Timegrinder> I wonder if amd are doing the SIMD thing
04:48:06 <Timegrinder> they obviously won't hit here for a while
04:48:30 <Timegrinder> oh yeah
04:48:35 <Timegrinder> core2extreme is RRP2000AUD
04:48:43 <stefan> just hope by the time I'm ready AMD will be on top again for the affordable ranges
04:48:46 <stefan> anyway, bbl, sleep
04:48:55 <stefan> night

14:51:46 <aSH^> eyas
14:53:28 <aSH^> this new comp has made me want to get more stuff now :P
14:53:44 <aSH^> i want some nice 5.1 sound or maybe just a big stereo pair
14:55:09 <aSH^> do i need an amp if i wanna power some big speakers, or can you get sound cards that have a lot of power?
15:00:31 Quit: Dylan2 ([email protected]) Exit:
15:02:58 <Simulacrum> Depends on how big, but if it's a 'computer' set of speakers they all pretty much come powered now
15:03:17 Nick: Simulacrum is now known as Timegrinder
15:05:20 <aSH^> so they have an amp built in then?
15:05:43 <aSH^> must be a fairly average amp considering the prices of those desktop sets
15:05:57 <aSH^> eg. $100-300
15:06:11 <Timegrinder> Yeah, well it's not going to power mega home stereo style speakers I don't think
15:13:15 <Timegrinder> The desktop speaker sets that are that price can put out some pretty damn good sound too
15:13:36 <Timegrinder> but you'll probably never find them in large speakers
