Well, Recently I've been looking at another ISP, quite good deals actually but when I was generally browsing their site I noticed a few... minor details.
Well have a look at this quote, I've bolded the area of stupidity for convenience
[quote=tpg]What is ADSL2+?
ADSL2+ is the next generation of ADSL broadband with download speeds typically much faster than regular ADSL. Regular ADSL broadband has download speeds between 256kbps and a maximum theoretical speed of 8Mbps. [b]ADSL2+ will allow you to enjoy large file downloads, graphic intensive online gaming,[/b] online streaming TV and radio, VoIP phone service as well as new applications and services currently being developed for super speed connections. [/quote]
Huh... so the greater the graphics the greater the bandwidth being used. Wow that's totally what happens because graphics are totally serverside aren't they... If they were serverside games like crysis would have to download around 700mb a second... Don't think ADSL2+ isn't that great.
This site also offers 500mb webhosting... For $3000 a year. No fucking joke

16:37 - Spoonecods: is.
16:37 - Spoonecods: it.
16:37 - Spoonecods: it's crucial
16:37 - Spoonecods: if it gets as hot as i PRAY it doesn't.
16:37 - Spoonecods: then you might have permanent damage

16:38 - Spoonecods: you've probably caused permanent damage to the CPU by overheating it and now you're ruining the airflow to bits
16:39 - Suttles(game comp broke): nope, i turn it off when it goes in spazz out mode. 16:39 - Suttles(game comp broke): this happened before.
16:39 - Spoonecods: stop being a retard
16:39 - Spoonecods: GET. SPEEDFAN.

16:40 - Spoonecods: if it's 140+ C then you're fucked.
16:40 - Spoonecods: because the CPU would have probably been damaged by that point
16:40 - Suttles(game comp broke): its not.
16:40 - Spoonecods facepalms
16:40 - Spoonecods: ok so youre not measuring the exact temps but DONT WORRY I KNOW IS NOT

16:41 - Spoonecods: and there's no reason for you not to run it aside from the annoying fan
16:41 - Spoonecods: yet you're also saying
16:41 - Spoonecods: it spazzes out
16:41 - Spoonecods: and crashes

16:41 - Suttles(game comp broke): the fan belt is just broke.
16:41 - Suttles(game comp broke): no
16:42 - Suttles(game comp broke): it only spazzes out if i launch a game with good graphics.
16:42 - Spoonecods: jesus fucking...
16:42 - Spoonecods: that's...
16:42 - Spoonecods: my god.
16:42 - Spoonecods: you...

16:42 - Spoonecods: let me guess. you opened it up?
16:42 - Suttles(game comp broke): no dude.
16:42 - Suttles(game comp broke): i had this happen before
16:42 - Suttles(game comp broke): it
16:42 - Suttles(game comp broke): is just a loud fan

16:42 - Spoonecods: you opened it up and fiddled with it
16:43 - Spoonecods: didn't you?
16:43 - Suttles(game comp broke): nope.avi
16:43 - Spoonecods: yep. you did.
16:43 - Spoonecods: you fiddled with the CPU fan
16:43 - Suttles(game comp broke): nope.

16:43 - Spoonecods: you opened it up.
16:43 - Suttles(game comp broke): my
16:43 - Spoonecods: you had to have.
16:43 - Suttles(game comp broke): no dude.
16:43 - Spoonecods: you even said you "have a desk fan pointing inside it"
16:43 - Suttles(game comp broke): im not that dumb
16:43 - Spoonecods: WHICH IS WHAT BROKET HE FUCKING FAN IN THE FIRST PLACE YOU DUMBSHIT.
16:43 - Suttles(game comp broke): there are slits on the computer
16:44 - Suttles(game comp broke): to keep it cool.

16:44 - Suttles(game comp broke): k
16:44 - Spoonecods: you've probably caused irrepairible damage to your CPU by this point anyway
16:44 - Suttles(game comp broke): it was doing this before the fan thing.
16:45 - Spoonecods: due to the heat now the fan's broken
16:45 - Suttles(game comp broke): no, i was playing tf2 fine with it.
16:45 - Spoonecods: that and you probably just had dusti n your fan
16:45 - Spoonecods: you fucking idiot.
16:45 - Suttles(game comp broke): the heat?
16:45 - Spoonecods: you've probably literally burnt your CPU and probably have less than a few months left of use
16:45 - Suttles(game comp broke): so cool air breaks computerS?
16:46 - Suttles(game comp broke): computers*
16:46 - Spoonecods facepalms
16:46 - Spoonecods: by running things while your fan is broken
16:46 - Spoonecods: you've probably overheated your cpu
16:46 - Spoonecods: probably more than 100c.
16:46 - Spoonecods: don't
16:46 - Spoonecods: even

You forgot to multiply it with the 256kb L2 cache, so therefore it's 4300 THz

But wait, there's more. If you include your graphic card's 512MB of ram, 8GB of woppie-de-flop RAM, and 40GB of storage, it's almost enough to run vista. :eng101:

So yeah, I decided to buy 3 of these to do 3 way SLI on my X58 mobo...worst mistake of my LIFE! These don't even support SLI! That's right, $3000 for a card that doesn't do 1% of what a GTX 285 will do! I've got a Biostar mobo with onboard graphics better than this junk! I don't know what the hell PNY was thinking, or the other fools that rate this so high are thinking. This card SUCKS! Not a professional card or gaming card, just plain old CRAP! DON'T BE A FOOL!

Have this card in one of our office set ups and my new VisionTek 5870 would destroy this card for the value. Same performance and direct x11.. A fool would buy

[QUOTE=Acesarge;23452854]Just wondering what is the difference between workstation cards like that idiot bought and a normal video card?[/QUOTE]

I think a workstation card is more for rendering things other than video games. I would say you would get one if you're working with something like Autodesk Maya where you don't need the processing power until the final render.

Also he could have not researched his way into a few of these: [url]http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4259469&CatId=4044[/url] which would have ended badly.

[hexpunK]

Yup workstation cards can handle rendering large textures, extremely high polygon counts, a lot of lighting effects, etc in offline renderers (where the scene will never change) Better than a normal GPU, but don't really do well in a online renderers like games use, where the scene is always changing.
