Re: Virtualization and Ivy Bridge

Generally speaking for VM software that requires any hardware support at all you only need what Intel calls VT-x, you do not also need VT-d. The -K processors don't support the latter, but that doesn't matter for the most part (there are cases that require VT-d of course but not for basic VM suppor...

Re: Unbelievable.

From all the reviews that i have seen, Bulldozer once OCed to 4.4GHZ is actually faster than 2600K. Now i know that even 2600K can also be oced too, but after looking at OC results of TR itself, do you see the difference big enough ? http://techreport.com/articles.x/21813/18 It is only faster in mu...

help me in solving this minimum spanning tree problem (java)

Consider a undirected graph, G(N,A), where N and A are the set of nodes and arcs (edges), respectively. Associated with each arc (i,j) in A is a cost c(i,j). Let |N| = n and |A|=m. The problem is to find a rooted undirected spanning tree, G(N,S) where S is a subset of A such that the sum of c(i,j) f...

Re: 8800GTS 320MB to HD4850, a good upgrade ?

Comparing photos from the TR reviews ( here and here ), I'd say the 4870 is a touch longer than the 8800GTS, but not much more than the inch that Morphine guestimated.: Here is a picture for my case (sorry for the poor quality) http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/8997/07082008003jp2fb5.jpg Do you th...

The triple channel controller comes with the highest end Nehalem ..approx $999 Dual channel will be for the under $500 range parts.
