Well you would hardly find anything wrong with it as you are a total idiot in the first place. however, did you feel a two page article with such pathetic information and findings is worth publishing? that is one of the worst tech articles ive ever read, its more like something you would create at home before writing the actual article.

Anyway its all old news, nvidia and ati no longer run application detection in this manner via exe re/naming. They have more sophisicated methods now, but of course im wasting my time talking to people like you, dont you run that site anyway? wouldnt surprise me.

actually it had quite good information if the writer would have explained alittle.

He found evidence that there isn't any cheating going on.

I'd say thats pretty substantial.

But hey...you can be a "total idiot in the first place."

Billy...you definately take home the gold when it comes to idiocy.

So he's the idiot for realising that the "author" couldn't pass a Kindergarten composition class, rather then you being the fucktard for defending such works of "literary mastery"?


Suck a fat one, pretty boy.

and i explained to you that renaming the EXE is NOT a valid test anymore. Anyone with half a tech head is aware that ATI and NVIDIA have LONG since gone past those days. they work on more complex patterns of detecting via an opengl or D3D window, not simple EXE names.

The article was utter rubbish, and was something you would see a 10 year old child posting in the cartoon network forums.

2 pages (paragraphs?) of pure shit, outdated tests full of typos, grammar errors and nonsensical text from someone TRYING to make out he understands what he is talking about.

Only person that would be "substantial" to, would be a retard with the IQ of a cabbage, hey what you know ...........

I love being called an idiot with low IQ by someone that does not have a proper grasp of the english language.

What exactly did he come across? The "create new chart" button in Excel? For fucks sake, you're acting like there's an intelligent sentence somewhere in that "article".

Some of their articles suck the fatone. But with [color=#5f5f5f]Nathan Glentworth[/color] (Owner, Head Editor & Hardware Reviewer) --- didnt he forget to add "fucking asswipe" to that list of ego blowing descriptions?

What the fuck kind of text is this? on page 7 of that "review"

"I'll tell you one thing, at these speeds, everything snaps open. No pause, no sputter. Even the shutdown happens in a flash in under 2 seconds. Gotta love it!"

so he overclocks a P4 and all of a sudden his fucking shutdown time increases to under 2 seconds? maybe he put in a few raptors in raid 0 as well and forgot to mention that. What the fuck does "sputter" mean? Has Nathan rewrote the english dictionary to suit his reviewing style?

Another shit article to grace tweaknews, but ill tell you this, NOTHING is a fucking patch on that NGO exe renaming article. What a retard that guy is. Always amazes me how dumb people can be classed as "reviewers".

wow quite a bit of anger in this forum section, guess thats why its called the flame zone !

erm anyway, yeah I read the article and I think it really is quite terrible, it is outdated and the methodology of testing is very amateur. Some tech sites are run by people who really know very little about hardware/software or running tests.

I looked around today, and I find this is even worse than the optimizations article.

http://www.ngohq.com/articles.php?go=read&arc_id=13

without sounding bitchy here, did the guy run a spellchecker or get someone to run a grammar proof read over it? I understand some people dont have great control of the english language nor are they natively english speaking, but that is really quite bad, I mean read it.

It would be more acceptable if the content was accurate but its just "state the obvious" with a mixture of what I can tell is inexperienced OS skills.

doh, off to a good start arent you retard?

as for your post, yeah thats another fucking classic "article" from the tech experts at NGO.

some classic quotes:


"Currently, this O/S is useless to me. Is it because I don’t have the miracle 64Bit CPU? NO."

Erm, well DOH, how could you even "test" it in the first place if you didnt have one asshole? I was actually thinking ahead as I was reading that expecting him to say "YES!", because the bulk of the text is regurgitated bollocks he has read from other sites.


"Will I install it again on my system? Hmmm, well, only time will tell. Currently you will see no real improvements with this new technology over the actual 32Bit one, performance wise. The majority of today’s software’s are written to take full advantage of the current 32Bit technology, witch means that even if you have a 64Bit CPU, using a 64Bit O/S you wont see any “out of this world difference”.

Christ, please dont man, or if you do, just dont write about it, I mean my fucking grandmother knows this and she could more than likely detail it a little more than you.

"The Manufacturers had two years to work on their device drivers. And the current status is pathetic. Hundreds of products don’t have support for the upcoming Windows XP x64 Edition. Only a small amount of manufacturers provided a suitable x64 driver. Don’t even try to use the normal Windows 2000/XP driver because it will not work! "

Yes of course ! im just imagining im sitting here on X64 with my USB mouse and keyboard and wireless card, along with an Audigy 2ZS, and NONE of it is working . get a grip man !

"This situation is unacceptable. With all the resources and time available to Microsoft during the development period you would have thought they would have delivered a better finished product. “What do you mean?” – You may ask. Well, launching a “new” operation system without any sufficient driver base support was a really bad move on their part."

Yes I "may ask" indeed what the FUCK an "operation system" is ! is that like your USB bus "overclocked driver?" do you guys even know USB stands for "Universal serial bus" in the first place? so you are offering a Universal serial bus bus driver.

If it wasnt so fucking insulting it would be funny.

Well seeing as I had never heard this before, do you have some evidence to back it up?

Hey, I quoted myself! OK, here is the hilarious thing. . .this guy is saying he is O/C Master because he (and few others) understands the role of timing in overclocking. . .but, isn't he running the memory BELOW SPEC, and saying that his experitse tells him timings must be relaxed due to the massive 5% UNDERCLOCK?

GET IT?

HAAAAAAAAAAAhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

rasta

p.s. If you still don't get it, look at the memory divider. . .3/2. . .then multiply the FSB by 2 and divide by 3 to get memory frequency. . .you will find it is UNDER 200. DOH!

as I asked earlier. Do you have any evidence to back up your claims? If I see some concrete evidence, I will concede that you are right and I am wrong. Otherwise, I sit here and laugh(well even if I'm wrong I'll probably laugh at you anyway, but hey thats cool)

according to the first few selections on google, they DO use EXEs for that...and there isnt any NEW and RECENT news to show otherwise...therefore your evidence is faulty and Reg may have come across some nice news.
