    Riddle

    Not really. You can still split a pound into 3 equally, as long as you don't have to give it to anyone. At no point in the riddle did they get 33p each. Anyway, it's not really worth arguing about :|

    Yes but it's 1/3 which is not exactly the same as 0.33333. Anyway, synergy you are being silly :wub:
  3. That's OK, I didn't really expect you say yes (Y) Looks nicer now, at least aesthetically. And if it's stronger too then everyone's a winner. I might have to try and make that demo tomorrow...
  4. Until there is software available for the dual core machines, I wouldn't really worry about using it either way. Games especially are gonna take time to swap over to dual core. At the moment (as Spike said), there's really no point. It will be years before a game requires dual core. Saying "get the FX for games" is all well and good, but they're not cheap!
  5. No, I do mean that. Most people think omgz00rs AMD f0r t3h w1n or something, but really Intel aren't bad. A lot of really techy people run P4's because they are uber stable (not that my A64 isn't, mind), overclockable and just nice. And the hyperthreading is supposed to be a real plus. For games AMD are better, but that's not to say they are massively better. They have a slight edge, whereas Intel has the slight edge in media stuff. It really does balance out and depend on what you'll be using the PC for. Have a look at the SuperPi challenge on Bit-tech and you'll see that the top scorers are using Intels. That's not a coincidence... (link)
  6. :wub: Do I get some of the profits then? (Y) For riding or just for watching?
  7. You're getting a bit mixed up there - AMD run at slower speeds, but they do more per clock cycle. It's kind of like you need to transport 10 people from A to B. Use a Ferrari and 2 people could go really quickly, but the rest would have to wait for it to come back and do another trip. Get a minibus, and although it goes at half the speed, the people get to "B" quicker. But really, Intel and AMD are just about equal pound for pound. AMD tend to have a slightly better reputation for gaming, whereas Pentiums are generally faster for media encoding/video editing etc. Also you can get Hyperthreading on P4's and that's supposed to be good (Allows better multitasking and general Windows pootling). At the end of the day, either brand is good. But AMD if it's gonna be for games. That might be some of them, but different versions of the chips run at different speeds. For example, my 3200+ is 2.2GHz and 512k cache (Newcastle). Yeah, that sounds fine, as long as it's good value. If you are confident in your skills, it's always worth building PCs yourself, you should be able to save lots (Y) EDIT: And the 6600GT isn't bollocks at all. Better than a 9800XT. If you can stretch to an "8" series card (6800 or x800/850), then do. But the 6600GT will play everything around at the moment just fine. EDIT 2: Monkey you're talking shite. The only difference between the 3700 and the 3500 is the extra cache. The clock speed is exactly the same. So overall, the 3700 is slightly faster, hence it is given a better PR rating.
  8. Ok. I didn't really know but I thought it would be better to be safe than sorry (Y)
  9. Nope it's 10. Or maybe somthing like 12. I know I tried to recieve a 24mb attachment and it didn't work - had to split it into 3 (Y)

    It's nowt to do with muscles. Craig rides like that because he is 95% leg (Y)
  11. Hmm. BIU has gear rules too though (Y)
  12. 10 Mb isn't that big really...
  13. You might need to check if it's compact drive or not.

    Wow, that is weird (Y)
  15. It might just be that Premiere can't render the clip fast enough for the sound to work. But when you export it it might work. Worth a try I reckon. The other option is to load the clips into ulead, then export them as a raw avi (uncompressed) and then import the avi into Premiere.
  16. I'll probably be there (Not demoing mind (Y) )
  17. I don't think that's right though. Mods are different to stock and they always will be. Mods have smaller wheels and you ride a mod differently to how you ride a stock bike. I don't think that will ever change. The gear rule obviously is to try to keep stock trials as close to its roots as possible, but in my opinion, that is a stupid, backwards thing to do. If we were doing that, why not say that every trials bike has to have a seat, and at least 18 gears, and a BB that touches the ground? Obviously no one is gonna say that. Trials bikes are trials bikes now, they are no longer modified XC bikes. To be honest, these rules are only holding the sport back. I'm with Anal on this one. The revolution starts here (Y) Maybe, but most people entering comps for the first time will do YMSA or tykes or whatever, where no one cares about gears anyway...

    Help!

    Girls are stupid and can think weird things in their head without any due cause. In my experience though, they get over it. Give it a couple of days and she'll be right as rain. On the other hand, sounds like you screwed her over a little bit, maybe you're just getting what you deserve... But still, I would just give her time to come around. If she loves you and you love her, then nothing can come in te way for too long (Y)

    Would probably help to accomodate a lot of the people on this forum (Y) Nah I'm joking. I'll say it again - that was amazing :D
  20. Albums in the US are stupidly cheap compared to here. I think they're like £6-7 each, rather than the £14 or whatever you pay for new releases/chart albums here. If CDs were half the price, I would easily buy three times as many and there would be much less excuse to download... Me - I don't really download music. But I used to quite a lot - in the days of Napster (When we all thought it was legal (Y) ). I'm sure even the two people that voted "no" have downloaded the odd song/ used Winrar for longer than the 30-day trial period or something :D
  21. Hahaha :D It's funny 'cos it's true :D Nah I'm joking.

    I quite like it. But I prefer peanut butter (Y)

    Most Addictive

    It does for XBOX. I'm sure if either of us weren't so lazy we could google it in about a second (Y)

    Bloody hell. That was crazy. (Y) Nice one chief :D Oh yeah and nice one ben for hosting it - eengoedidee had just completely died for me.
