Again.

Who did you kill the first time?

Erhm... I mean, what did you do the first time?

In all fairness, I am only a first year law student, so I really cannot represent him yet. However, I can write some of the legal documentation to advance the claim!

*Starts scribbling madly*

Just kidding. Seriously though, you should see what I did here with this letter. Dude to incompetence by my landlord, my car was damaged. My mom wrote a letter asking for recovery. I rewrote the whole thing. MUCH better now,

Welcome TheCh3F to the thread

We hope your stay is enjoyable.

Joe, love the youtube clip LOL

Blitz, did you write up a nice letter for nvidia in regards to the nForce 3 Vista support?

blitz6804 · 04-01-08

No, I have not. I have been sending messages back and forth with tech support. The newest: I quoted a press release from the head of nVidia PR department stating that the know of the issue with ATI video cards and dual core processors in Vista and a patch is forthcoming. Tech support replied that "the misinformed employee misspoke." It is interesting to note that nVidia keeps having press releases recognizing the problem and saying it will be fixed shortly. They have been for the past 18 months. Any time anyone contacts tech support, they are told that nVidia has no plans to ever release a new driver. I love duplicitous companies; fun times.

Their current story is that the nForce3 chipset predates dual core processors and cannot run them. They further that the nForce3 chipset is not Vista certified because it too postdates the chipset.

I replied that I wonder how the dual core works fine in XP. Or is it that it is only using one core, but I think it is using two? I pointed out that the VIA KT800 predated both dual core and Vista, but after an MCP update can handle both. The same is true of the SiS counterpart. If VIA and SiS can update their drivers, why does not nVidia?

I further pointed out that if I had an nVidia video card, there would be no issue. Only users with ATI video cards cannot use dual core. I swear, it must be a thing in the driver that they did release for Vista (integrated) that bars all non-nVidia cards.

Dudes and dudette of S939 Club (and all AMDers in these here parts), the time has come.

I cannot stand all the pressure any longer.

I'm afraid that I've succumbed to temptation; my ego has taken a tremendous battering.

I want a faster rig than what is possible with S939, so I've put in my first order for a C2Q system.

I'm so sad right now, to be honest. But I need more...

thlnk3r, I hope you can shepherd this flock better than I have. You are a good man for the job...

Sayonara.

LIES!

You are, and forever shall be, and AMD head.

Keep both Computers, use Intel for word processing, and the AMD for everything else! (^_^)

my old build was amd
4400+ on asus a8n32-sli deluxe
for some reason it doesn't even work anymore. i didn't use it for like 3 months due to now having a monitor..and then i got a monitor and the computer worked for like 3 days...and then my monitor wouldn't respond..or any other monitor.

so i gave up. and when i read about how awesome the e8400 was...i couldn't resist.

haha

Might it have been your video card dieing? What did you do with it upon becoming a traitor?

**catmmm** · 04-01-08

nah wasn't my video card. i had two video cards and swapped them to see if it was that. still did the same thing.
and the computer just sits now...until i can come up with a solution as to why it did that and then fix it...then i'll probably use it again for whatever. i'd really hate to trash it. it's my first build

haha
