ENTERPRISE

Best Holiday wishes to you and all. Im glad you are pulling through bud and fingers crossed the rest of year will give you the R&R you need

Noice!

Nice. I saw that advertised the other day, was tempted to pull the trigger.

I sort of understand this, meaning you can buy the CPU at a base price and pay more for features IF you need them. However this is aimed at Data Centres and Servers and I wonder what market research showed this sort of initiative would be welcomed. While I understand the premise, I just wonder if there is a point to it.

That's a solid point, I stand corrected.

Thanks Pook, even though it is old, I would imagine it still applies...or at least we can use it as reference:)

Hello all. It is my intention to create a HWBOT Stats widget. Before I look into this, I wanted to see if anyone knew how to scrape the stats data from HWBOT, or another source to make this happen. Thanks, E

This will be resolved when we move review comments to the forums

Maybe im out of touch, but I thought the AMD 7950X was well priced at launch.

Hey guys. Just as an FYI, Thanks to @axipher and his continued work on the stats site, we will soon be able to create the Folding@Home widget for the homepage Thanks, E

It would be my aim that Reviewers would moderate their own threads :).

I will have to look into it. Ultimately I would only allow guests the ability to post in threads within a specific section of the forums. They would not be able to create threads in that section, only comment in existing ones. Goes without saying that a guest would not have access to any other part of the site and would need to sign up to do so

It is an idea that was toyed with a while ago. It is a great suggestion and looking at it, there is no reason why a thread cannot be manually created that the review links to in order to foster the further conversation about the review. There are some things to think about however. 1. If we go the the forums route for anything review conversation related, would we want to disable comments on Wordpress altogether, to make sure we funnel all traffic to the forums ? 2. There is the question whether or not a review thread should be open to public of sign ups only. There are some advantages and disadvantages to both. A. You allow guests to post Advantage - You increase the likelihood of discussion and the possibility to convert a guest to a member Disadvantage - You open the doors to spam. B. You do not allow guests to post Advantage - Unlikely to get spam Disadvantage - Possibly deter viewers from commenting, as they do not want to sign up just to post one comment and there is no chance to turn a lurker into a member. Personally, I am up for guest posting if it can be managed correctly as I think it is a great way to interact with the wider public and to convert lurkers into members after they see what is on offer at EHW. Happy to hear comments. @iamjancoare you saying your hands are tied with respects to looking into the Table styles ? I can get you the access you need for delving into what you need to find out etc if that is what is holding you back. Thanks, E

Hey bud, good to see you swinging by No Arc here, admittedly I haven't intended in getting one due to a lack of needing another GPU. Plus I'm wasn't hugely impressed by what I was seeing, BUT this is early outings for Intel on this product range. I did see some articles stating their have been driver improvements that have yielded better results. At the moment its harder to tell the true "Performance Wall" of these GPU's as no doubt the driver infancy is leaving performance locked away, but in time that will change. Just look AMD. Their drivers left much to be desired and were holding them back for a long while. Fortunately they are in a much better position now. But those poor performing drivers helped hand Nvidia the crown every year. Fingers crossed once they have the drivers down we get a clearer picture. However im under no illusions that Intel GPU hardware is any match for high end GPU's as of right now.

Firstly, check out if it can be done Secondly, I think coming up with some styles first and create some visual concepts to look at. If I am happy with the concepts then perhaps we can put out some of the styles for a vote here on the forums and choose the preferred style/s. If our reviewers would like to pitch in some ideas and thoughts that would be beneficial. @Avacado could you round people up ? Thanks, E

Nice! If you have issues with the driver mixing, you might have more luck with Linux.

Everyone is assigned the Author role as standard. The only site Admins are myself and any elected developer. I think for the sake of continuity and platform security, any changes/additions made to the site would have to be done at a theme/admin level, allowing users with lower permission roles such as Authors to have access to the new tables. Im not a fan of having it as a free for all as it invites trouble. I can look at giving you an administrative access so you can see what is possible so far as improving the tables? I would imagine that would be the sensible first step

Put it this way, im happy to put in prizing for a Bi-Annual event. If you chaps want to get together and put together what an internal EHW HWBOT comp could look like, im game for reviewing it with a view to making it happen:)

Oh for sure bud. Im not complaining at all for the help :). Im happy for us to design a better "Standard" that both looks better and performs better regarding different screens. Happy to see some concepts ? Who here would like to have their say suggestion wise ? Happy to hear thoughts

Im sure the guys here will have some ideas on a competition framework. Could run it Bi- yearly perhaps.

Doesn't mean we cannot have our own internal comps

Just so I have this clear. Is the question that has been bought up related to the Style of the table or how it interacts with different screen types ? If its style, the pro/con table for example is a "Standard" and will look the same across articles. We need to be wary of certain changes as some would be undesirable.

@bonami2... Lets get this promotes on our socials

That's a sweet load of retro. I myself no longer have anything retro, well I have a PS3 and that is about it. However the consoles I have owned are..... PlayStation - Main games were Metal Gear Solid and the Resident Evil series. PlayStation 2 - Again I was only really an avid Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil follower. PlayStation 3 - Meta Gear Solid 4 DreamCast - Sonic Adventures & Resident Evil remakes. Game Cube - Metroid Prime, Resident Evil Zero & Metal Gear Solid remake. XBOX - Halo's & Midtown Madness XBOX 360 - Only got this to continue Halo series. As you can see, I only got consoles to follow specific games series. All the while I was playing other games on PC.
