I think the HD DVD format is going to win myself

That's funny, pretty much all the movie distributors think otherwise.

HAHA, yeah. At this point, I think the smartest move would be to get one of those hybrid HD-DVD/Blu-Ray/DVD drives.

I have heard exactly the oppisite. It seems Sony want's to control the content of the movies put on the BlueRay format. No Adult movies. As you can imagine this isn't going over big with Holywierd.

I have no desire to get a :banana::banana::banana::banana: collection going myself, but when the big Betamax vs VHS format battle was raging, it was the :banana::banana::banana::banana: industry that made the deciding factor that VHS was the winner....

Many feel it will happen again.

There are still lots of members in both camps, and I expect the war to rage on for a while yet befor one clear winner immerges.

The difference between the betamax and vhs war and this one is that the :banana::banana::banana::banana: industry was involved in that war compared to not being involved in this one. They really don't have a sway. During the previous war, the :banana::banana::banana::banana: industry went with the inexpensive way of distributing their flicks. Not only are you not going to really find the :banana::banana::banana::banana: industry jumping on using HD discs for their flicks because of the cost, but HD means you see every little detail on someone's body. The people watching these things aren't going want to see the wrinkles or small freckles on their favorite Ms. Betty's body that they use to think was smooth and perfect from the VHS/DVD quality smoothing

Needless to say, at this point HD DVD has a slim hope at making a comeback. There have been various speculations of Microsoft releasing v2 of the xbox 360 w/ an integrated HD-DVD player among the other things they have planned for it (ie IPTV support). But, Microsoft went to claim that when the development goes underway, they'll go with whichever format has a stronghold in the market. Given that it's BluRay, obviously putting a BluRay player in the xbox 360 will further help push BluRay tremendously.

Sony has realised in its bid to win the format war, it had to relinquish control over what would be released:
First :banana::banana::banana::banana: film released on Jan 4th.
Hustler and Playboy following suit.

Your links are basically a year old and more, this is what the current situation looks like:

And it looks like things are only going to get worse, with Paramount looking to use an opt out clause and joining the Blu-Ray camp.

Basically you can go out and buy a Blu-Ray player now and feel pretty safe.

[Talonman]

Wow, I didn't know Sony caved on that...

I wonder if HP will start putting Blue Ray players in their Media PC's then?

I wonder if HP will start putting Blue Ray players in their Media PC's then?

More than likely all the companies will follow suit. Players are reasonably cheap now, the burners however are still ridiculously expensive.

Go to their site and download the manual. That'll give you a better clue about their gear.
Think the GX Typhoon is the new deal.

EDIT: You probably have a bad mount, your temp are sky high for a G0 @ 3600Mhz. What's your room temp?

My older Q6600 need 1.43 to be stable at 3600Mhz...but away on the 55-60ºC

Look at my 3900Mhz run on older Q6600:

[disruptfam]

room temp was about 26c when i took that screen shot...

Do you think i really have a bad mount???

idling @ 50c atm its very high maybe i do have a bad mount... damn

its 31c ambient though hmmmm

[step]

Do you think i really have a bad mount???

Have to agree with the fella, while some G0 batches aren't the greatest, temps for 1.6v are exceptionally high.

How much are you pumping through the NB?

[disruptfam]

1.5v
