  1. :D thanks for the link, but the damn customs won't share my enthusiasm.

     

     

    This will reveal a problem - some will wan't news in Russian, but as they appear, there will be a mess when you've read some in Russian (for example) and you want to read all of them in the international but don't want to reread the ones that were translated.

     

    At least it's my opinion. So there should be a way to manage the translated news not to mess with the unique ones and not to double the original ones. A good solution is not to translate news :D but some may not agree with me.

  2. The links in the top right corner are domains which in the short future will be maintained by regional partners, not ourself. With maintained we mean they provide news, competitions, moderation, advertisement, etc.
    That's interesting news! I hope you mean that they will have additional news etc. or we will have to switch from local to global to see the whole picture?
    If you want to gain control over a region or nation, drop us a mail @ info@hwbot.org :)
    A-ha-ha! Frederick, your sense of humor is great. "Gain control over the region or a nation" - now that sounds! :D LOL

     

    If only I knew what that means (assuming I got you meaned the region local website, not the region itself).

  3. Today I've opened the main page and was surprised by three link - the international, romanian and USSR one. What I don't get is what about the ru.hwbot.org - it is working though no link is published. So the question is - will there be a separation by nationalities or by regions or by languages? I don't see any use of the Russian one when there is the USSR local version.

     

    What I mean is that the current number and implementation confuses me and I want to clear out the question.

     

     

     

    And yes, how about making MXS belonging to the USSR ranking? Like some members (TiN for example) who has a custom flag, but belongs to Ukraine rating. MXS didn't select a country because they have members both from Russia and Ukraine (and two captains for the same reason) but USSR - is what can unite both their member's countries.

     

    Of course, if they don't mind :)

     

    And yes, the idea of USSR ranking and region is a great one (did I say that before?). Nostalgia, you know.

  4. It's not the only one. T've met this bug earlier. Wish I could remeber the categories. Can look through again if it's vital.

     

     

    http://hwbot.org/rankings/worldrecords - another bug. The 3DMark Vantage places - the #3 score has 54641 points and #4 - 55478. But the global ranking shows everything correct including HWboints received. The problem is only with the record page.

  5. because my epic good d9gkx cant compete with bad bbse, let alone hyper's.

    It's always a "convenience vs how much complicated it is" issue.

    Why not making a motherboard division - obviously the X48 board will rip an epic 975X? The answer is - this will make the rankings too complicated without need.

     

    The same for I-rams and videocards in PCMark.

     

    And yes, try to take a E5200 with a wall around 300-320 and find out how much is DDR3 better :)

  6. There is a local mirror here: http://ru.hwbot.org

    The headline under the logo is awful, but that's not the point now. Can you please make an flag icon linking to that mirror and disable the language detection on the main site version? I want my almost native English language back :D

     

    I've found a couple of mistakes in English, but accidently. I can't browse all HWBot via Google Translator in order to fiddle with the detection - it's a bit inconvinient work around.

  7. I mean similar article about the family or model introduction, pre-production facts and capabilities. For example, I don't see such a thing here: http://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/geforce4_ti_4200_8x

    http://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/rage_128_pro

    Just got these two first, don't think there's much besides them. The CPUs can be described too.

     

    And I don't understand the thing about checking the hardware specs or reorganizing some subfamilies to require a budget if I could make a full list what has to be fixed. Just click all pages and check for mistakes.

     

    For a small example - what is a Celeron doing here: http://hwbot.org/browseHardwareProcessors.do?cpuSubFamilyId=128

    Or why is the 486 family showing a "crap" error? :D

     

    Or I missed something and these mistaked require manufacturer support in some indirect way?

  8. Em, I'm not sure my e-mail wasn't added by RB to the black list :D

    So I'll repeat some

     

    Make a hardware database with a more full info, like this one: http://hwbot.org/article/news/gpu_1088 but make it for else categories (can make a community work - don't need to write by yourself). By this you will have maybe the biggest database about hardware specs, not only the performance.

     

    Yet again, the hardware specs that are presented should be cleaned - some have wrong description (core name, CPU names etc.).

    And I suggest some categories or I think better to call them "subfamilies" should be sorted - quite a mess in some of them.

     

    Do you need a list or

    you reply to every suggestion "not possible", "bad idea" or "no time"
    ? :D
  9. I guess there's no Thuban microcode inserted into that bios yet. 31.5x is, by the way, the maximum useable multiplier for Phenom-II. I've seen some manufacturers add higher multipliers in the bios, but that's just wasting space.
    You were a bit inattentive ;)
    enable or disable Core Performance Boost
    this means Thuban support, I'm sure you know, just have missed that line.
  10. I've checked in Biostar TA890GXE BIOS - http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/bios.php?S_ID=474

    It shows the ability to

    enable or disable Core Performance Boost

    Disable CPU cores

    Activate disabled cores (BIO-unlocKING) - which for now, seems, only is able to unlock third and forth cores only - not for Thuban.

    The max multiplier in Biostar is 31.5x. More than enough, though :D

     

     

    Massman, as for the ECC - AMD had this one for ages - since the presentation of AMD Hammer family :) it's just hidden in BIOS until you plug in a ECC memory stick ;)

    I wanted to clear this as the are newsmakers beginning to reprint your words :D

  11. Yes, I've seen the info on Asus - I just wanted to check another headline manufacturer.

    The idea on eight cores is unification - for the quad core we had to make a two bit machineID (haven't read the BIOS developers guide for ages so I quote as I remember it). When we go to six cores, we have to change the routine. So if we implement a three-bit, why not make an eight core? Anyway it will come out, so no double job. That's my idea.

     

    What can be said - this is obviously nothing to deal with server CPUs - already 12 cores there. Think it's for future desktop, lower tech. process for sure.
