New In Game Billboards
Below is a new one I just noticed tonight on Cerbere. Has anyone else noticed new billboards?

If at first you don't succeed, you need more firepower.
There is nothing wrong with feeling something when you shoot your enemies... as long as that something is recoil.

Yeah its so irronical to have a game that doesnt support dual core technology to advertise dual cores!

There's another one that says Stay cool in the heat of battle or something, but I didn't catch much of it.
Tearing structurally-superfluous new behinds with high caliber weapons since 2006.

Re: New In Game Billboards

Re: New In Game Billboards
Phew, I thought it was really wierd that I was suddenly seeing all of these billboards. I was thinking it might have been because I created a new copy of my profile - guess not.
Only problems I have with these billboards are that they look so out of place. Almost ruins the 'mood'

Re: New In Game Billboards

Re: New In Game Billboards
The core duo has a streamlined SSE engine... each core dispatches SSE instructions at twice the rate of the P4, which means a significant performance boost in games and other stuff optimized for it. However, it's still only using one of your cores.

Re: New In Game Billboards
Those Core Duo ads seem like they are on every board. Also the NS maps seem to be littered with boards. Much more noticeable.

Re: New In Game Billboards
Has anyone seen a billboard that is not an Intel ad?
As for the dual-core versus P4 thing, even without SSE or any of that crap, even a single core2 core is quite a bit faster than a P4 (HT or no HT).

Re: New In Game Billboards
Not to mention the potential in increase if the dam BF engine supported the full dual core tech .)

Re: New In Game Billboards
the engine came before dual cores though so i don't think theres anything they can do to include it now.

Well windows is up for multicore so the drain on resourses caused by background tasks is limited due to dual or quadcore technology.
So maybe the game uses only one...the pc is useing them all which will result in great performance increase.

Zid, the P4 was a monumental screw up on Intel's part. A P3 at the same clock speed is faster than a P4. *shrug*. Originally Posted by Zid
