Are 2 nVidia 7600GTs faster or slower than a single 8600GT?

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:00:10 -0700

I have two nVidia 7600GTs and I am running Vista. I am running them in SLi (simultaneously). I am wondering if a single nVidia 8600GT would perfom better than the 2 7600GTs...the fact that you can also use DirectX10 with an 8600 and NOT the 7600s is also considerable....

Dialog Boxes

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 08:11:58 -0700

Hi,

I've been trying to get a Dialog box working all day now, and I've had it. I'm working with dev c++ on Windows Vista. Throughout my search on the net I've encountered my problem here and there, but nothing they suggested even came close to solving the problem. The code I'm about to copy is not my own, it's largely taken from one of the sites I stumbled across today. I've tried every source I found, and NONE (that's right, NONE) of them compiled.

My project is linked with libcommctrl32.a.
main.cpp

#include <windows.h>
#include "resource.h" 
#include <commctrl.h>

HWND hwnd;
BOOL CALLBACK AboutDlgProc(HWND hwnd, UINT Message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);

int main()
{
    InitCommonControls();
    int about = DialogBox(GetModuleHandle(NULL), MAKEINTRESOURCE(ID_ABOUT), hwnd, AboutDlgProc); //Call Our Dialog
    
    if(about == IDOK) //If Out Dialog Returns With Our 'IDOK' Value
    {
           MessageBox(hwnd, "Dialog exited with IDOK.", "Notice", MB_OK | MB_ICONINFORMATION);
    }
    else if(about == IDCANCEL) //Else If Our Dialog Returns With Our 'IDCANCEL' Value
    {
         MessageBox(hwnd, "Dialog exited with IDCANCEL.", "Notice", MB_OK | MB_ICONINFORMATION);
    }
    else if(about == -1) //Else If Our Dialog Returns '-1', It Means It Didnt Work
    {
         MessageBox(hwnd, "Dialog failed!", "Error", MB_OK | MB_ICONINFORMATION);
    }
}

//The Dialogs Window Control
BOOL CALLBACK AboutDlgProc(HWND hwnd, UINT Message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    switch(Message)
    {
        case WM_INITDIALOG:

        return TRUE;
        case WM_COMMAND:
            switch(LOWORD(wParam))
            {
                case IDOK:                       //If our dialog returns IDOK
                    EndDialog(hwnd, IDOK);       //Close The Dialog
                break;              
                case IDCANCEL:                   //If our dialog returns IDCANCEL
                    EndDialog(hwnd, IDCANCEL);   //Close The Dialog
                break;
            }
        break;
        default:
            return FALSE;
    }
    return TRUE;
}

resource.h

//Define Our Dialogs Name
#define ID_ABOUT   101

resource.rc

#include <windows.h>
#include "resource.h"  //Include our file

DLG_About DIALOG 20, 20, 400, 400
STYLE WS_POPUP | WS_DLGFRAME
CAPTION "Just an ordinary dialogbox"
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
{

	CTEXT	"Some text lines", -1, 0, 0, 300, 8
	CTEXT	"Some more text lines", -1, 0, 8, 300, 8
	CTEXT	"And even more text lines.", -1, 0, 16, 300, 8

	DEFPUSHBUTTON "OK", IDOK, 130, 152, 32, 14, 
WS_GROUP
}

I ALWAYS get following errors :
Line 5 in file resource.rc : syntax error

Any help? Please?

EFI booting

I resent the fact that microsoft are scraping BIOS for EFI booting.
does this mean that we will need to scrap our old system for new hardware to obtain the OS?
