Creative Labs- return to videocards, next in sound blaster line

Wow! Cool! Here are some of my questions...

Logitech...
People who bought the Logitech Quickcam 3000 Pro were left without any sort of LCD mounting system. I have an SGI 1600SW monitor and the previously mentioned camera. Does Logitech have any mounting solutions for LCDs coming out in the near future?

I purchased the Logitech Cordless Mouseman Optical. Soon after, a combo with a wireless keyboard was released. I would love to buy a Logitech Cordless Freedom keyboard, but it is only sold with the mouse. Will it ever be possible to buy this alone?

Creative Labs
More info on the Nomad 3...

For those who currently own Nomad Jukboxes, will there be an easy way to transfer all 5 - 6 gigs of data on one to the new Nomad 3? Also, is there a possible trade-in deal in the works?

Via
When can we expect C3s of higher speeds than 933 mhz to be available in the retail channel?

Is the next version of the processor going to still use the S370 interface (I hope so!)? Will it still be cool enough to not need a fan?

nVidia
For whatever reason, the nForce was a very poor overclocker. Is there a technical reason why?

Those are my questions

. Hope you can ask them. I'd be stoked to find out all these answers!

AMD - Microsoft - MSI - Creative Labs - Seagate - Intel - VIA - Viewsonic - nVidia - Logitech

AMD - with the IHS, will there be any bridges under it on the hammer? will .13u TBred have bridges like the current XP? will 166mhz fsb become standard on TBred?

M$ - win2k rules, winxp sucks, can you do win2k (2)?

Creative - can you spell the word driver?

Seagate - 10k rpm ide. please.......

Intel - unlocked processors?

Via - dual channel ddr for P4 - when?

Viewsonic - your monitors rock!

nVidia - do you like gainward overclocking cards

logitech - just make mice

Heres my question:

How come the pastry setting on my toaster oven hardly thaws the Toaster Strudels all the way????

Brad · 03-28-2002, 10:58 PM

cause you need to plug it in

WebMasta33 · 03-29-2002, 10:34 AM

AMD -- When do expect to manufacture processors with a higher FSB than 266mhz DDR stock setting?

That'd be the only question I'd ask.

time to overclock that toaster

Bose-Einstien Condensate · 03-29-2002, 04:18 PM

well.. I talked briefly with reps from AMD, creative, Microsoft, and Nvidia.

from creative... no news on nomad3 yet, but soon, as to thier videocards, expect some interesting developments soon.

Amd... clawhammer is going to be MAJORLY expensive when it comes out, but the current athlon at that time will still be very awesome.

microsoft... expect new service packs for win2000 and xp in early june. The Whistler/.NET OS will soon be replacing xp as thier flagship

Nvidia... The NV25 Anti-Alising was designed by ex-3DFX engineers and uses alot of 3DFX technology.. The upcoming GPU will not be Geforce but a new name has not been decided on yet.

Also, I picked up alot of freebies so Joe, if you are willing, how about a giveaway? I have an AMD pen, some Nvidia posters and stickers, an MSI squeeze ball, a Seagate "how are you feeling today" magnet, a seagate photon light, a seagate tape backup measuring tape keachain and a VIA C3 processor maganet(sorry for bad spelling, I hurt my hand).

For those of you interested in HD's with windows, seagate had a few HD's with clear covers on them, they might be for demonstration only, but someone might be able to get ahold of a few.

Kevin · 03-29-2002, 04:28 PM

I have two computers running the C3 processor! For quiet systems, it is my favorite! Can I pay you shipping on that one and get the magnet?

Joe · 03-29-2002, 07:33 PM

so no info on the toaster oven... Damnit they wouldnt talk to me on the phone about it either.. I think there is some conspiracy here!

Bose, email me with what you got and what you want to give away, and we can get stuff going.

Brad · 03-29-2002, 11:06 PM

did you find out the answers to any of my questions

Bose-Einstien Condensate · 03-30-2002, 03:52 PM

Kevin- sure, just send your address to madmaxclone@email.com

Joe- E-mail is on the way

Brad- Sorry, all I got were "No Comments"

Brad · 03-30-2002, 03:56 PM
