OK Kris. Anyway, my Core 2 Duo is running happily at 3.6GHZ paired with a HD4850. It's not the best system to run Arma 3 but i'm not gonna upgrade until next year.

And finally I want to talk about reliability and compatibility. With Intel everything "just works". You mentioned BIOS updates and "issues with a certain CPU" in your first post. Without being specific, you will run into more issues more often with AMD than with Intel. Dude i respect you and i …

GAME CHANGER I just found some more intriguing performance benchmarks that show that while the FX-8350 has a lot more raw power than similarly priced Intel CPUs, its gaming performance is indeed worse. Not BAD, but not as good. In order to close the gap with Intel, I only need to spend $25 more to …

Also, I'm aware it's 8 "logical" cores, and that the processor itself actually only has 4 "physical" cores. This is a very common misconception. Kris, i don't know exactly where you read that but that's just simply not true. Actually what you say reflects an Intel Quad Core processor with HT but …

The situation might be look alike but it is quite different. First of all Intel spends more in R&D than AMD gets in profit. AMD does not need to double its power draw to increase performance. The greatest problem AMD has and never solved is the lack of proper compiler and software support. They 've …

I never thought that this would be possible here at VOGONS, some members spitting nonsense about how FX CPU's aren't a good choice or even worse, FX's don't have REAL cores... Gemini you'll be fine with FX 8350.

Let's see, i don't know how will using different GAL's can affect the experience. I just wish the damn programmer comes fast! EDIT: I just ordered some National Semiconductor GAL's to make the experience as complete as possible. I ignored Lattice because we already know these will make FM synthesis …

Great i order National Semiconductor GAL16V8-25LNC and i end up receiving SGS Thomson GAL16V8S-25QB1. Until i receive the programmer i can't test them.

OK i'm gonna contribute to this too. I just ordered an USB G540 programmer and a couple of NS GAL's. Can someone provide me links to the new and old code so i don't lose any time looking for them?

Has anyone confirmed that a National Semiconductor GAL works with the Rev. 0 cards?

Thats the truth.. i miss those times. I would not trade my fdd for an usb emulator, there is nothing like the real deal., is the sound and slowness also emulated?? :-D Oh it's slow allright. Remember it still uses FDD controller. Makes no sound though... Well i still have a normal floppy drive as …

Congrats Pingaloka, it looks very good. If you need help with that floppy emulator let me know.
Re: SD / CF cards as hard drives?

I'm actually using Industrial Grade SD Cards which use more reliable SLC instead of more common MLC. My 1GB card scores something like 0.60ms average access time on speedsys. Reads are very fast too, writes are not very impressive but i would say at first hand SMARTDRV is not needed too. It might be …
