I tried to google that, but I didnt find anything relating to warzone2100. As that game was released in '99, I think it would just run fine on windows :)

Yes the original version was made for windows.. but after it became open sourse.. it progressed rapidly..It lives in the spirt of the original.. cutting edge and beautiful...

I assume this would be very easy to compile and run on a windows box. The information I found said that it runs on a large number of different platforms.

I bet there are too. 500 different versions of snake, 2,000 different versions of space invaders, and 5,000 different versions of tetris. :woot:

But yeah I saw that inq article finally, and things certainly don't look good. A 100MHz clock increase and only 8-10% faster than 512MB in the best of cases, that aint purty. But the results I am really interested in seeing is how it does in HDR+AA in comparison to the x1900xt seeing how all the next gen games will have HDR implemented in some way or another.

And if they are cold bugged... that would really shaft nvidia. If not, they might appeal to xtreem ocers.

Yes the basic version does.. but the Eye candy edition is linux/BSD only..:D
Can't wait to see what the 7900GTX can do..

I have about a 600$ budget for video, so I think that 2x 7900GTs would just be the best buy :(

Afireinside is still trying to get me to sell my CABNE 146 and buy a dual core, so I could do that and afford a single x1900xt.

I do not really know which option would be more effective.

if the 7900GT is 450mhz core and the 7900GTX is 650 considering that they are similar (like 78GTX and 78GT) will the 7900GT clock like a beast?

Maybe, not good to know really considering it's all about yields and bins... but it certainly is plausible. Will probably require a vmod (such as 68GT vs 68U), there may also be differences in power and pcb layout... but still it isn't too far-fetched. Don't get your hopes up TOO high though, since it 68GTvs68U only was a 50 Mhz difference (at start) and then 75 Mhz ... we're talking 200 Mhz here and it may be that 79GTX cores are very cherry-picked (just as with 78GTX 512) and 79GT are the average cores...

Just a reminder...
CeBit is coming soon :woot:
This means that the 7900 serie's release is verry close and CeBit will probably be our first glance on these cards and other nice technoligies :)

I hope the Dell 2407fpw and 2007fpw shows up, since there are rumors that Dell is planning on releasing a full xxx7 series of LCDs. They already have a xxx7 series of their 3007fpw 30" LCD (which was shown in CES), and a new 19" LCD

As you can see on the pic below, CeBit begins March 7th, and ends March 15th :fact:

Small numbers..
because honestly SLi isn't that common.. So I doubt Quad SLi will be normal..

Well everytime I look at Tiger Direct for stuff they overprice their items, so I'll be waiting to see Newegg's pricing.

What is the difference between the 7900 gtx 512 and the 7900 gtx XXX 512?

Brand name suffix. XFX uses XXX, BFG uses OC, ASUS uses TOP etc. to emphasize their factory overclocked or otherwise more expensive cards. Just simple marketing ploy, nothing coming directly from nVidia. ;)
