encode this movie using a different codec please.

Is it encoded in a format I can watch instead of that windows only format.

maybe when I get home from vacation.

If thats all you got, I dont think AMD has anything to worry about.

do you have a non-wmv version so I can watch it as well on my mac?

Again, i will ask here. What codec do I need to watch this video on my mac.

SO, if AMD decides to go ahead with their plans to enable both cores to run games that dont take advantage of both cores, I think I will upgrade. But not before.

no big deal, just thought I should point it out, just incase something was up.

Right now I have an almost identical system to the one I am considering, but without AM2. I have an FX60, ATI X3200 Crossfire (without am2) and 2 X1900XTX's with 2 gigs of ram. The new X3200 mobo is supposed to have a better Southbridge that works better than the one on my board, plus it is AM2 compatible and DDR2 compatible.

Ok, lets put AM2 in the context of the new ATI X3200 Crossfire AM2 with its new Southbridge SB600. Will that make a difference? And of course these gaming benchmarks.

AH, I see.

A 30%-40% increase in performance in lomac would be one hell of a nice increase, dont you think? :thumbup:

Thank you.

Why is that bad, it is supposed to increase performance on games not optimized for dualcore.

As an update, I bought this system and so far it is working great. I could not be happier. Although the AM2 stuff has me curious, I may just buy a new mobo, chip, and DDR2 ram, and sell the current one. The new ATI X3200 mobo with AM2 is supposed to be fast.

yes I did, very first post. AND, I am not JUST learning this game, been playing it since the DAY it came out. :megalol:

You may want to check that link out... this is where it redirects me.

good thread, very informative. I hope ED is reading it as well.

:( Sorry, cant help you.

Cool, it has started...

Are there benefits to make it worth upgrading?

What codec do I need to watch teh first video? I can hear it, but I cant see it.

HAHAHA, nice.

Very Cool.

I have 2 X1900XTX's and do not have this problem. I seeem to remember this happening a while ago though long before the X1900XTX ever came out. I can not remember the fix though. If I think of it, I will let you know.
