Thread: Stanley Kubrick, where are you? | Forum: Fractals
Hi Damien,
Thanks for pointing that out, the only thing I'd want to add to your story, is lots of RAM with a maximum of 4 GB for Windows 32-bit.

Mindy: you're very welcome, glad I could help :)Rick: the 64's you're referring to is indeed the new Windows Vista which has been delayed. However there's a 64 bit Windows XP version available, from which you can download a trial version at MS, but as I've said before, there aren't many (good) 64 bit drivers available yet and I'm not sure if UF will benefit from the 64 bits, or fall back to the good old 32 bits in which case you won't have much adavantage from the 64 bits. If you're bold enough to try it out, I'd advice you to make a dual boot, ie your 32 bit version and the new 64 bit version of XP.
(I just read this on the UltraFractal home page: A 64-bit version of Ultra Fractal is not currently planned.)

Hi Mindy,According to the latest news I've read the first Intel Conroe's (Core 2 Duo will be the official name) will be launched around June/July 2006 and it will be a perfect match for your Windows-based PC. From what I've read about them, they will be cheaper than present Pentium systems with the same speed.

Hi Mindy,
it's NOT true 64's are twice as fast as 32's, there are some advantages to 64 bit above 32 bit, but definately not the double speed, 64's are able to address more memory and some applications might run a little faster, but that's all to it, not to mention the fact that a lot of manufacturers still haven't written decent 64 bit drivers, I guess most of them are waiting for the next generation of MS Windows, named Vista. If you're planning to buy a faster PC, I'd advice you to wait a few months (and wear a wig or something to keep you from pulling your hair lol) and go for the next generation of the Pentium processors named Conroe. I've read sensational reports about that one, like dual core (which is more likely to make your applications run a LOT faster), 64 bit, lower heat dissipation, uses less power, and according to the first tests they've done with it, speedwise it runs circles around everything available at the moment, and not in the last place (hey, I'm dutch :) they're going to be really cheap... The same goes for you Rick, wait for the Conroe, as far as I know UF is capable of using both processor cores, as does Photoshop, but whatever you do, apart from the fact dual core Celeron's don't exist AFAIK, leave the Celeron's alone, they're definately NOT what you want!

This is a very fine collection! Wouldn't it be possible to replace the weekly with the so called hot 20? :)

Thread: To Comment..or Not To Comment | Forum: Fractals
I'm sorry Yvonne, but I think that's exactly what Linda means, you comment and get comments from friends, not because you like their artwork so much but because as you said yourself "But it's hard to not comment on images of friends, simply because you like them as a person". I personally think you should only comment on pieces you really like, friends or not or give helpful advices to help others improve their work, isn't that what commenting is meant for? Pieter
Thread: New personal galleries | Forum: Fractals
Awesome gallery Keith, I'd already seen it before I started making my own fractals or knew about the existance of Rendo, and after watching it I decided I wanted to try my hand on making fractals, so thanks for the inspiration you gave me with your beautiful images... Pieter
