That’s why you get upgrades on daily basis.

Conroe runs @2.66Ghz (maybe copy from AMD’s architecture) Apparently conroe prototype has hit the FX-60 benchmarks (Or maybe it was only PR noise). Let’s hope that AMD finally gets some competition in the top segment and that prices finally will drop. But the thing is the FX-62 @2.8Ghz AM2 DDR2 (with the famous integrated memory controller inside the CPU) is already in the stores (princely about 1000$+) but maybe by the time that we see a Conroe in the stores we can already look at FX-64/66 @3.0/3.2Ghz stock?

That should be good enough but I just want to warn you that AMD is moving to new dual-core AM2 chips: At this moment the FX-62 and Athlon 64 X2 5000+ is out! http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1966027,00.asp AMD moves to DDR2 while bumping up the clock rates of its top tier CPUs. The new dual-core Socket AM2 chips put one more nail in the coffin of single-core desktop processors.

Too old and too expensive The rip-off, however, goes even further. Critics of the programme maintain that the JSF suffers from illdefined design goals; that it has insufficient range to make a capable replacement for dedicated bombing aircraft; that its inability to ’supercruise’ limits it as an air defence platform; and that it is almost certain to suffer lengthy development delays and cost over-runs - meaning that interim types will have to be purchased to fill the gap between the end of useful life of existing fleets and the introduction of the JSF. Further criticisms include the fact that next-generation strike fighters are expected to change radically, not needing a human pilot to fly and strike, while the JSF, if ever built, will have to carry a human commander. The ability of the JSF to lift off and land vertically and to hover above the ground, moreover, is something only US and British air forces need - and these are precisely the countries cutting down on their purchases. The US air force and navy have cut their planned purchases from 3,006 units to 2,240, thus boosting each plane’s estimated price tag by between $5 million and $10 million, analysts say, and rendering it almost noncompetitive. ’If it costs too much, it does not go,’ said Rear Admiral Steven Enewold, the US navy’s JSF program executive officer in September 2005. The predicted development delays and cost over-runs are already a reality, and the initial $33 billion budget rose to $41.5 billion in October 2005 ’primarily due to the [Defense Department’s] annual revision of inflation assumptions’, JSF programme officials said. All this has led some countries to reconsider their participation in the JSF project. Huge investments have already been made, though, and pulling out would result in the loss of enormous amounts of public money. Where has all the money gone? Five years into the development phase of the JSF, it is revealing that the only country still enthusiastic about the whole endeavour is the US. You can’t blame them. They got the Europeans to pay a considerable part of the development costs and at the same time retained complete control over the process and kept the relevant software even from its main ally, the UK. The juiciest research and development contracts have gone to Lockheed and a host of secondary US defence contractors. A transfer of state-of-the-art technology did take place, but not in the direction expected, because it is European contractors who are transferring their technology to the US via the development of parts of the plane for which they won the contract. Meanwhile, the US has been able to boost its weak exports with the help of all those friendly European heads of state. And the ultimate bonus: the JSF undermined the independent European fighter project - the Eurofighter - thus averting an embarrassing situation whereby the European technological base for fighter planes would have out-manoeuvered that of the US. The only clear winners in this game are the Bush administration and Lockheed Martin. For Europeans it’s been a doomed scenario from the start. Little return on investment; doubts about the eventual product; a lingering debate within the EU about loyalty... At the end of the day, the British, the Italians, Dutch, Norwegians and Danish have been betting on the wrong horse. But it’s not as if they were not forewarned. In all of those countries, strong opposition to the project pointed out all the dangers both before and during the political decision-making processes. Maybe it’s time to face our governments, and ask them where our tax money has gone. The answer they are not likely to give easily is that it went to the US military economy, and more specifically, into balancing the books of the world’s biggest arms producer: Lockheed Martin. :megalol:

I would say 80% of the online players are poorer than the AI-expert but the other 20% of the online players scores about 100/0 kill ratio versus expert AI.

JSF export version has no chance against the super bug and will be massacred by the Su-30mkk/mki. Even the F-16F or F-16A MLU would be a better choice. Even the US-NAVY does not believe in this slow piece of crap and the US is trying to make export money from it. BTW, the JSF export versions will NOT include the classified stealth technology futures which will make it completely useless (read F-22 stealth technology).

Or why we don’t need a dynamic campaign? Because we do need a private life! :D

Will this rig lope lomac/FC/BS? Falcon Northwest Mach V FX-62 Quad: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1965699,00.asp Anyway Falcon 5 is a funny name:)

Not only the USA but also Europe and your country (Brazil) which is still a young country (with young population) kind of a raising economy like China who needs a lot of oil too.

If I recall it correctly these improvements were already used on the 120B and 120C models.

Or worse Venezuela can refuse to sell to the US and sell everything to China. BTW, Iran is selling almost exclusively to China (in dollars).

Ok; I can agree with 9% :D

AIM-120A Even if you would replace the electronics compartment with fuel you would never get 50% extra fuel which is needed to increase the range with 50%. You have a point: 5% extra space would be possible :thumbup: .

Are you kidding me? It is a 12ft missile. You can easily add an FX-60 system inside the missile without noticing anything. BTW, you don’t need that many chips to let to do that missile his job (Even in the early 90’s).

My guess is that the exhaust is closed with a cover (kind of modification for use inside the 22 bay system)

Limitations of 32-bit x86 Architecture: User processes limited to flat 4 GB virtual address space ( power(2,32)) - Windows typically occupies the first 2 GB of memory Applications must use complex workarounds to map to additional memory (e.g., Address Windowing Extensions [AWE]) Translating between virtual and physical memory impacts performance - 64-bit Systems eliminate the 4 GB memory barrier (Runs 64-bit applications 8 TB Virtual Address Space)

This is related not to Vista but to 32 or 64bit (including your driver support) WinXp 32 bit -> can not benefit more than 2Gb WinXp 64 bit version and Vista 64 bit version will benefit from a lot more (theoretically power(2,64)) WinVista will come also in 32bit version thus the WinXp64 bit version would be technically better than the Vista32 bit version.

Send me your biggest mission and I will show you how much ram you will need! Simulation is about a lot of calculations thus CPU/GPU related.

Except for better loadtimes: totally useless, worthless…

Ok, The Pentium D 802 was running @225 Watt full load for @ 4.1Ghz! Do you realize that this will produce an absurd amount of heat and would be melting your CPU on stock cooling! I challenge you that you can find an extra power supply and (water)-cooling system under $800. Ok, maybe a little overkill but anyway: Example: Total $848 ($399+$449) - CoolIT Freezone: $399 (complete water cooling system) - Pc Power and Cooling (T85SSI) 850-Watt Power Supply: $449 (Introducing the Turbo-Cool® 850 SSI, the biggest, baddest power supply available for next-gen computers! With a form factor that fits standard ATX cases, the Turbo-Cool® 850 SSI power supply produces 950W of peak power, handles brownouts down to 80VA)

Why the 22 was not yet tested in any air-combat exercise against the ef2k? Are the Americans afraid or something? BTW GG, Meteor ramjet owns all other air forces! :pilotfly: PS. It is not wrong to be a patriot.:D

It is just a choice! 1) We use a $133 CPU together with $900 for cooling and power supply (running CPU@200Watt)! 2) Or we use a $1000 CPU (running CPU@105Watt)! And with stock cooling. 3) Or we use a $1000 CPU together with $900 for cooling and power supply and we will always outperform solution (1).

Just save your stuff in 1.12a and release it! It will turn out that some mission scenario’s/behaviors would be not like 100% balanced behavior with 1.12a, but so is RL war too (the perfect campaign does not exist) Just release it before summer! You can patch it later! (Nobody would blame you not being 100% balanced and having not tested the whole new campaign)

ACE settings have no external views on :beer: (Mostly custom ACE with recovery on!)
