Review of AMD / ATI Radeon HD3850

Nvidia brought some with the new G92 chip that AMD was certainly surprised and a little sweat. As the performance suggests that they have a R600 without notice. AMD today announced the counterattack and how the new cards and finally whether the current rate of R600 resolve the question that remains unanswered. After all the many speculations about the successor of the place affected negatively chips, AMD was the beginning of the year, now we hope that the red / green camp.

What are we going to fight, which is classified, perhaps even created a new middle class with high-end Nvidia? In all of these questions, but we want to try to find answers and to remain open for any surprise.


If re-think some of the R670 was against competitors such as 8800 or even 8800 GTX Ultra addressed, then we want to start speculating this review times that never was planned by AMD and also will not happen. A comparison would be our view, the maximum possible operation Crossfire. But we're still curious what changes the new chip has been made. We know, except that now is integrated UVD, AMD accelerated multimedia and now the chips are manufactured in 55nm, very little. We want to prove it.


ATI Radeon graphics cards optimized for Photoshop

Now it's official, the ATI graphics card manufacturer provides to users of Adobe Photoshop a better representation. Video cards, which offer this optimization, are models of HD 3000 and HD 4000-series. Who owns one of these graphics cards can now with Photoshop CS4 accelerated the process of enjoying computing. ATI explained that the cards in this series estimate of the effects with programs like Adobe Photoshop and Premiere verschnellern now and therefore the CPU support.

Premiere ATI is a big advantage on the eternal rival nVidia. ATI provides its profitable HD 3000-series a clear advantage, because with the Quadro nVida only a very intense cost alternative. When the transcoding movies and features such as 3D effects, transitions and 3D Applizierungen manipulation of photographs, the subsidiary of AMD-ATI card lie ahead.

Inyoka in 7 days, Part 2: The Wiki

nerdWith the new portal software Inyoka ubuntuusers begins again for a further period. Many changes and some long-awaited changes in portal have been seized. This series will provide users the most important innovations contribute. After the forum was already lit, this part deals with the wiki Inyoka.


Currently, there are still some errors arising from the acquisition of the pages after MoinMoin Inyoka result. The team asks that those Wiki pages for discussion, so that mistakes can be corrected.

Syntax

One of the most important things a wiki is a simple and catchy as the syntax of giving. For this reason, in this area is also not much has changed. But here an overview of the most common commands before. To try to game is for lovers of all sandbox ready.


However, a brief review of major commands of the wiki:
Format
  • Grease'' 'text''' Underline __Text__
  • Text''''Strikeout italics - (text) --
  • Monotype 'Text'

The links are one of the strengths of a wiki, so here is a simple yet versatile uses syntax. In addition to the opportunities in the last part describes are still interwiki links to other pages.

[Interwiki: concept: Link Text]

[Wikipedia: Ubuntu: Ubuntu in Wikipedia] will link to Wikipedia as Ubuntu to create the text link is optional. An overview of the interwiki links available on the InterwikiMap: to find.

Pictures will continue to have its own macro in question. [[Image (URL of the image, BreitexHöhe, guidance)]] whereby the URL of the image just the file name is specified when the image of the current page as an annex was added. Otherwise, here also links in the wiki or other portal areas, as well as the use of external links (for example: [[Image (http://media.ubuntuusers.de/wiki/attachments/08/ 28/monkey.png,,)]] For http://media.ubuntuusers.de/wiki/attachments/08/28/monkey.png). Width, height and direction are optional and give the desired width and height of the image in pixels, or orientation (right, center or left) to.

Very good and very prominent, the blocks of text, the inclusion of this article has been for the following versions of Ubuntu and proven in operation just two examples. The complete list is in wiki / blocks of text to find.

Tables are basically very easy to apply:
| | Foo | | 1 | | 10 | |
| | Bar | | 2 | | 20 | |

This performance of the simple table below:
foo 1 10
2 20 bar

Welch possibilities to offer more design are very diverse, so to the table to continue working with wiki / syntax / table.

Tags Wiki pages can also be granted. Prefers hours late as it is with a label #: tag1, TAG2, created with the TAG3 labels each of the CON separated by commas. The page then, between the labels for listings. An overview of tags available today can be found here.

The categories were expelled by the labels do not, but should also not specified, but it can still be used. These are the labels of ALS are terms used to classify. The list of categories can be found here.

Determined to play roles in the wiki showed signs show, you'll need an escape. This is the reverse \ used. For example, as part of a `` source Monotype train is necessary to show is \ `` to write, because this is another way:

`` That means two Monotype \ `` `` beaten senseless


Results: The IS WITH Monotype two strokes `` senseless

Talk

Talk Wiki articles can be comfortable article of the discussion on drops riders and also consulted.

Behind the scenes

For the user has more invisible in the technology, the effort behind the wiki is. MoinMoin known of the articles stored in a database file that. In particular, in times of the application of many of improving performance, in which access to files from many accounts, especially in the past for new publications congested Ubuntu for servers, users and administrators always annoying wailing.

In addition, the wiki for a team of easy scripting language available to help Simple Macro Creates can be. An example of this is the best-known macro-proof, which created the Fund of the iceberg, which contains versions, which was piloted an article.

The ACL (access control lists / ACLs) accounted for Inyoka, is now at a central location for the database. They are currently used to determine the processing sites (for example: Home) by other wiki-AS team to stop.

Another point is the URL of the Wiki pages, which now requires large and are no longer sensitive must be taken into account. Even the sides, however Taking into account capital and lowercase letters saved.

Inyoka in 7 days, Part 1: The Forum

nerd With the new portal software Inyoka ubuntuusers.de begins again for a further period. Many changes and some long-awaited changes in portal have been seized. This series will provide users the most important innovations contribute. We began a major component of ubuntuusers the Forum.

Forum structure

First is the user forums, the new structure visible. The subjects were redistributed to the operators specifically for easy access. Sunday can be found in assets are now the subjects who will participate in the community of Ubuntu, such as turning the Wiki forum or location. The administration of the system, installation, upgrade, you can find help if you have problems installing or upgrading, but even if the questions before the installation, for example, "What is the difference between Ubuntu and Kubuntu?" Appears. The designation graphical user interface is pretty self-explanatory and the use of Ubuntu aimed primarily at the use of desktop computers. Server and advanced topics, for example, DNS or Web servers, but also questions of a general nature or security of the network at the point in Ubuntu. Under the community are around GNU / Linux, the graphics and design of desktop and the usual successor lounge room and return to find. Using small, more or less the symbol on the right edge of the bar in each of these areas can be attributed to develop o. This is the overview for helping those areas not used can be easily folded.

Syntax

A drastic change is the new syntax, which now portalübergreifend uniform. Contributions to the creation of a button bar is available, the most common format offers.






However, a brief overview of the most important commands to the forum:
Formatting
Grease ''text'' Underline __Text__
Strikeout "text'' italics -- (text) --

Quotes from past with a greater symbol (>) at the start of the lines marked. For the author of the quoted text to mention, is a [username] added. Example:

[User: MFM:]
> Quoted text

> Second row


Bullets follow the simple rule: A sub asterisk indicates a point. Sangria will form sub-points.

* Point 1
* Point 2
* Item 2.1
* Item 2.2
* Point 3

Links
Wiki link [Page:] externer Link [http://www.ubuntu.com]
Wiki link to the bar [# anchor page] External link with the designation [http://www.ubuntu.com Ubuntu Homepage]

Code of blocks of three curves in brackets:

(((
Code
)))

Code


A highlight of the syntax can be applied by introducing clips of the kind of code is followed by:
{{{#! Html php

)))

1 PHP
2  phpinfo ();
3 ?>

A new block of code is that large blocks and now can be folded to the clarity of discussions on the rise. Default is only about 12 lines of code, and we need to widen the button used to set the code that you can see.

In addition, there are also the vielgenutzen Smilies:

Smilies
:):): (: (;)): D: D: P: P:? :? 8) 8) 8-O 8-O
: O: o §) section): []: []: -> ->: --

A complete collection are found on the wiki wiki under / syntax.

After the presentation of information raises the question in the processing of the list of presenters. This will be the team of moderators for the rapid transformation with a small workflow support.

Notifications

Ubuntu NETBOOK Remix in the Acer Aspire One install

Some time ago I had a very Acer Aspire One purchased. Now I'm times to finally reach the NETBOOK Remix Ubuntu install (formerly Linpus Linux on it).

After several attempts, Ubuntu Hardy Heron in an external USB CD-ROM, I have to install (after the announcement by Sebastian), with the installation Netboot tries to PXE. The ubuntuusers.de there is a good How. On the contrary it DHCP server, I used udhcpd (I have on the server to Gentoo). In the settings you must write:



siaddr 192.168.0.150
Neptune SName
BOOT_FILE / pxelinux.0

The siaddr is the address of the TFTP server. When booting over the network (F12 express at boot time!) Gets the Aspire One NETBOOK then the installation files only from a TFTP server, and then from the Internet. The issue Prima!

In order after the successful installation of Ubuntu NETBOOK remix to install, you can also follow the instructions on ubuntuusers.de. Sound and wireless work with me more now I'm not yet. I am rich in fact, most of a terminal and Firefox
