ECU Professor Dr. Greenstreet Participates on Two Panels at National Communication Association ConventionPosted on: 30 November, 2012
East Central University Professor of Communication Studies Dr. Robert Greenstreet served on two panels at the annual National Communication Association Convention in Orlando, Fla. In his first panel, Greenstreet joined select representatives from other colleges and universities in discussing efforts to encourage highly apprehensive students in the basic communication courses at ECU. "Since highly apprehensive people avoid communication, it is very difficult for these students to complete the general education speech course required by their major area of study," Greenstreet said.

3 arrested in robbery, burglary of bakery
Published: Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 9:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 9:53 p.m.
Two people were arrested by the Alachua County Sheriff's Office Friday in connection with the May robbery of the Flour Pot bakery in the Tioga Town Center shopping plaza that was set up by an employee, the Sheriff's Office reported.
Charged with robbery with a firearm was Jasper Edward Neats, 30, of 8932 SW 46th Ave., Gainesville; and Mary Elizabeth Arnold, 31, of Jacksonville.
The arrest of Arnold on charges of criminal mischief, burglary and grand theft involving a separate burglary of a business led to the robbery charges against her and Neats, according to arrest reports.
The robbery occurred May 8 just after the bakery had closed. A man came in with a rifle, ordered the employees to put their phones down, demanded money and fled with about $300.
On Wednesday, authorities arrested Flour Pot employee Victoria Coggins, 29, of Newberry in connection with a July 3 burglary of the business.
On Thursday, Arnold was arrested on the burglary charge and she told investigators about the robbery case. The report states she told authorities that Neats, her boyfriend, robbed the employees and she drove the getaway car.
The report also states that Arnold said Coggins was at the bakery at the time of the robbery and helped set it up by leaving the back door open.
Additional charges may be forthcoming, the Sheriff's Office reported.

Meatless Monday is a global movement, a way of life. It's not a campaign to turn everyone in the world vegetarian or vegan; in fact, many involved are meat-lovers. Eating less meat has been proven to reduce the risk of disease, curb obesity and has important environmental impacts, too. Will you join us in giving up meat, just for one day a week?
If you want risotto for dinner you either have to go to an Italian restaurant or commit to spending at least a half hour standing at the stove, stirring and stirring the rice with broth until the starches in the rice break down and become creamy. But Aida Mollenkamp came up with a technique that replaces the stand-and-stir method with a time-freeing bake-and-walk-away recipe. You just bake arborio rice with canned pumpkin puree and diced butternut squash and finish it with Parmesan and mascarpone cheeses. The result is a rich, creamy risotto that you don't have to slave over.
No one would guess that this is a low-maintenance dish; serve it in individual bowls and stash the pan away before anyone sees it. Your family will think you spent the entire evening stirring their dinner.
5 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth (use vegetable broth to make it truly meatless)
2 cups arborio rice
2 cups pumpkin or butternut squash, small dice
1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/2 medium yellow onion, minced
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
Heat oven to 400 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
Combine broth, rice, squash, puree, and onion in a 3-quart baking dish, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and stir to evenly combine. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake, stirring occasionally, until most the water has been absorbed and rice granules are puffed, about 35 to 30 minutes.
Remove from oven, stir in remaining ingredients, season to taste and serve.

sciwizam - Thursday, May 31, 2012 - linkAny idea on what the die sizes are for the S4, T3 or the Exynos 4? Reply
dagamer34 - Thursday, May 31, 2012 - linkHere's a comparison with a few other SoCs: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5688/apple-ipad-2012...
What's surprising is that if Intel is selling chips at $100+ with this die size on a new process whereas a 160mm^2 die can be had for $20-25, then I think die size and cost aren't as tightly coupled as I previously thought (or Intel is charging a ton for its chips) Reply
name99 - Thursday, May 31, 2012 - linkOr the upfront costs for
(a) designing the chip
(b) designing the process
are phenomenal, and, even amortized over tens of millions of chips, add substantially to the cost of each chip...
it's also possible that the A5X was specifically designed to be fault tolerant ---- not in the most general sense, but in the sense that the large arrays (L2 cache and the GPU arrays) are wired up to allow for some fraction of defects.
Obviously Intel do the same thing, but if you're striving for maximal performance, you may be rather more constrained in how you can do this than at lower performance goals. Anyone have any real info on this? Reply
iwod - Thursday, May 31, 2012 - linkDesigning the Process doesn't count. Or you mean Designing "for" the process?
Designing the Process count as a cost towards TSMC / Samsung, or the Fab Players.
I think dagamer34 is correct, the Cost of $30 in the case of Apple A5X ( it is actually estimated to be $25 range, but just bump it up for example ) already includes the cost of Fabbing it. Which means the Foundry Profits.
That also includes ARM and PowerVR Licenses Cost.
What we dont know is the R&D Apple put into their SoC, At 100Million Apple SoC per year that additional $5 would have pretty much cover that already.
If you consider that, Intel is making an additional MINIMUM of $70 per Chip profits Intel Gains.
Although Intel properly make a discount somewhere to gain Apple's order. Reply
CeriseCogburn - Friday, June 01, 2012 - linkJust wanted to say good job getting that die size and good job posting it in proper form. Reply
JKflipflop98 - Saturday, June 02, 2012 - linkUh, designing the process certainly does count. It's a very, very expensive procedure retooling and recalibrating process tools for a new product. Maybe ARM doesn't have to worry about that, but Intel certainly does. Reply
ShieTar - Friday, June 01, 2012 - linkThe coupling between die size and cost is not really based on the price of the silicium. A 300 mm wafer will cost you a few hundred $, and will probably yield about 300 to 400 chips of 160 mm² size.
What you have to take into consideration is the fact that your expensive lithography machine will illuminate one wafer in a certain amount of time, and the salaries and power cost that run up in that time need to be divided by the number of chips included in that wafer. Also the machine will not operate forever, so its buying cost needs to be divided by the number of chips produced in its expected operating time. Smaller chips means the machine-cost per chip goes down.
That means of course that the link between size and cost is only specific to one certain fab and process. It is clear that TSMC can offer 160 mm² in a 45nm-process significantly cheaper than INTEL can offer 160 mm² in the new 22 nm-process. Reply
gplnpsb - Thursday, May 31, 2012 - linkIntel may not have watned to release the exact die sizes to the press, but the exact die dimensions are listed in the Volume 1 Datasheet for the Mobile 3rd Generation Intel Core Processor family. It is available here: http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/...
There are four desktop Ivy Bridge dies:
4C GT2 8MB L3 "Ivy Bridge-HE-4" 19.631x8.141mm = 159.816 mm2 (E-1 Stepping)
4C GT1 6MB L3"Ivy Bridge-HM-4" 17.349x7.656mm = 132.824 mm2 (N-0 Stepping)
2C GT2 4MB L3 "Ivy Bridge-H-2" 14.505x8.141mm = 118.085 mm2 (L-1 Stepping)
2C GT1 3MB L3 "Ivy Bridge-M-2" 12.223x7.656mm = 93.579 mm2 (P-0 Stepping)
I derived those figures from the Mechanical Package drawings on page 161 to 165 of the document I linked. The 4C GT1 die isn't listed in the database, but I derived it's dimensions by subtracting the difference in length between the GT1 and GT2 dual core dies and subtracting it from the 4C die. Logically the height would be the same as the GT1 dual core die. Its worth mentioning that if you check Intels MDDS database for the S-Spec codes of the desktop quad cores launched today (ie the i5 3470 SR0T8/QCBU) you will see they are mostly based on the 133 mm2 Ivy Bridge-HM-4 die.
If you check pages 14 and 15 of the Desktop specification update: http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/... you will see that they are based on the N-0 stepping, not E1. It's worth mentioning that the GT2 dual core die is the L-1 stepping, and the GT1 dual core die is the P-0 stepping. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, May 31, 2012 - link+5 to you! ;-)
What I find odd is that Intel *does* release this information, just not always in a clear, concise format. It's like certain sects as Anand calls them have decided people aren't going to figure it out if marketing doesn't tell us, but the Internet doesn't work like that.
Even with the above estimates, it's not like we really have a lot more to discuss. 4C GT2 is bigger than 4C GT1, which in turn is bigger than 2C GT2 and the smallest is 2C GT1. Shocking, right? Reply
gplnpsb - Thursday, May 31, 2012 - linkHaha, quite right, its not exactly shocking. One interesting thing however is that Intel felt it worthwhile to spend a few million dollars creating separate masks for a 4C GT1 die. They never bothered to do that with Sandy Bridge. All quad core Sandy Bridge chips were based on the same 216 mm2 die.
I guess the reasoning is that a hypothetical 4C GT1 Sandy Bridge would have been 193 mm2, reducing die size by only 11%. The 2C GT1 Sandy Bridge die was 14% smaller than the 2C GT2 die.
With Ivy Bridge, the 4C GT1 die is 17% smaller than the 4C GT2 die, and the 2C GT1 die is 20% smaller than the 2C GT2 die.
Presumably the HD 2500 Core i5 Ivy Bridge chips are going to be extremely popular with OEMs. If so, volumes will be high enough to ensure that a separate die significant improves Intel's profit margins. Reply
thunderising - Friday, June 01, 2012 - linkAmazing job on that. It's amazing to even think INTEL is selling 132 mm^2 quad cores at the 300$ price range (non "k" parts I believe).
Just in 2007, Core 2 Quad Q6600 had become popular, at 65nm, 4 cores, quite a die size too, it cost the same or lesser I believe (after price cuts).
I was really hoping INTEL bring on more to people. We've been stuck with over-priced quadcores for far too long.
And as we can see, the GT2 Dual Cores are barely much smaller than the GT1 Quad Cores, making the GT2 Duals more and more irrelevant and the Quad's more and more relevant. Reply
Shadowmaster625 - Thursday, May 31, 2012 - linkIt costs roughly 2 square mm in die space to add each EU. So why did they stop at 16? Why not release one model with 32 EU? It would still be around the same size its predecessor. Reply
stadisticado - Thursday, May 31, 2012 - linkBecause no OEMs were willing to pay more for it?
Because investors like it when Intel hits GM targets?
Because the vast majority of corporate and even personal users have no need for all those EUs?
Because this might have cause thermal and/or memory bandwidth issues?
Really, take your pick, but my money is with the fact that adding more EUs would not have added revenue in line with the cost of adding them. In which case, they made the correct business decision. Reply
fic2 - Thursday, May 31, 2012 - linkWhat I don't get is why they didn't add 2 EUs to the 2500 and make it faster than the HD3000. At least then it could have 1/2 the EUs of the HD4000. But to truly "earn" the 2500 name vs the 4000 it should have 10 EUs (2500/4000 = 0.625 * 16 EU = 10).
But I guess that Intel has figured out that 6 EUs is good enough for any cpu based graphics and if you need more than that you are going to get a discrete card anyway.
Based on that I don't know why they bother with the HD3000/4000 since they truly just waste die space and energy for no gain. Reply
IntelUser2000 - Friday, June 01, 2012 - linkThat's not true. HD 2500 is equal in performance to the HD 3000, but the 2600K tested has higher GPU clocks. It performs the same when compared to the 2500K's HD 3000, which features similar clocks.
Although HD 2500 has only 6 EUs, the throughput per EUs are doubled, making it equivalent to a 12 EU HD 3000. Reply
fic2 - Friday, June 01, 2012 - linkI didn't realize that the 2500 was equal to the 3000. Thanks for the info. Reply
dagamer34 - Thursday, May 31, 2012 - linkIntel didn't think enough OEMs besides Apple would be interested. They don't want to build custom parts. Reply
jjj - Thursday, May 31, 2012 - link"I included the two Apple SoCs to put Intel's 2C/GT2 die size in perspective. It's entirely possible to build very high performance smartphone/tablet class silicon given a modern enough manufacturing process."
Extreme simplification there or flawed logic. that sounds like Otellini.
You got to factor in clocks,temps,power, how much of the chip is active at any one time and cost. Reply

.hack//Link Getting Substantial Improvement From Demo
This is why we have been getting demo of upcoming Japanese PSP games way early than their actual release date. Like Senjou no Valkyria 2 (aka Valkyria Chronicles 2) and God Eater before, CyberConnect2 is making a of improvements for .hack//Link, the final game based on the long running series.
The enhancements are minor stuff to make the game user friendlier and also battle system fine-tuning but is long so this should make the final game a much better experience when it comes out next week in Japan.

Approximately one year after publication of the first Discussion Draft on the Revision of Chapter VI of the OECD Guidelines on Intangibles (Intangibles) (see also our PKN of June 6, 2012), the OECD released on 30 July 2013 its Revised Discussion Draft on the Transfer Pricing Aspects of Intangibles. This comes shortly after the release of the OECD's Action Plan on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) on July 19 where work on intangibles is listed as one of the actions (Action 8). Interested parties are invited to comment on the Revised Discussion Draft by 1 October 2013.
The Revised Discussion Draft has been prepared on the basis of the numerous comments the OECD received on the prior Discussion Draft and contains several important changes.

Dartmouth Formula Racing Wins for Best Electric Car
Dartmouth Now
May 9, 2013
The Dartmouth Formula Racing (DFR) team overcame battery problems to run away with first prize for the top electric car at last week's Formula Hybrid Competition.
Dartmouth placed first in the "electric drive class" of the Competition which took place April 29 to May 2 at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, N.H. The teams were evaluated on design, acceleration, presentation, and on their endurance and autocross runs.
"We set out to win the event and had no idea the challenges we were up against," says Darren Reis '13, a Dartmouth engineering student who drove in the competition. "This year was a great result for us."
Finishing with 860.89 points, Dartmouth had nearly twice the score of the second place finisher, the University of Vermont, in the electric car category. Twenty institutions registered for the competition, which has electric car and hybrid car divisions. Only 11 colleges and universities brought cars to the seventh annual event, though, which speaks to the difficult nature of constructing such a car. This was the first time Dartmouth competed with an all-electric car.
Dartmouth's car, nicknamed "Paula," weighed in at 832 pounds. In the acceleration run, Paula covered 75 meters in 6.181 seconds with engineering graduate student Christen Bilger '11 behind the wheel.
"I had the time of my life," says Bilger. "It was extremely rewarding to summarize all the hard work our team had put into the car and do so incredibly in the Competition."

NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT: Rounding Out The High Endby Derek Wilson & Josh Venning on 8/11/2005 12:15 PM EST
- Posted in

77 Comments
Back to Article
IdBuRnS - Tuesday, November 29, 2005 - linkI just placed an order for a eVGA 7800GT with their free SLI motherboard.
This will be replacing my ATI X800 Pro and MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum. Reply
A554SS1N - Tuesday, September 06, 2005 - linkOk, now for my views on the 7600GT...
The 6600GT had exactly half the pixel-pipelines and memory bus of the 6800GT/Ultra, and this makes me think the 7600GT will be the same in relation to the 7800GTX. To add weight to this theory, a 128-bit would be much cheaper to produce, and with a smaller die size, be more economical and cooler. By being cooler, smaller fans can be used, saving more money. Also, NVidia would probably want to keep the PCB smaller for mainstream components (something that I would like myself).
So basically, my suggestion is that the 7600GT would be a 12-pipe, 128-bit card probably with those 12 pipes matched to 8 ROP's (like the 6600GT was 8-pipe matched to 4 ROP's). Around 5/6 Vertex pipelines would sound about right too. If teh core were at 450Mhz or even 500Mhz with 12-pipes, and paired with 1100Mhz memory, it would likely turn out somewhere inbetween a 6800 and 6800GT in performance, but importantly, would be:
- Cooler
- Potentially Quieter
- More energy efficient
- Smaller PCB
- Potentially cheaper
- More easy to produce, therefore able to provide lots of cores to the mass market
Just my opinions, but I can believe in a 12 pipe card more than 16 pipe mainstream card which I consider to be a "pipe dream". Reply

Evan Lieb - Friday, August 12, 2005 - linkI think maybe some of you are taking the article a little too seriously. Most hardware articles nowadays are geared toward high end tech for good reason; it's interesting technology and a lot of people want to read about it. It's useful information to a lot of people, and a lot of people are willing to pay for it. You want entry level and mid range video reviewed too? That's fine, but you'll have to wait like everyone else, AT can't force NVIDIA to push out their 7xxx entry level/mid range tech any faster. When it's ready you'll probably see some type of review or roundup. Reply
Regs - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkWell there is still no AGP for 939 AGP owners and the performance difference between the Ultra and GT this year is a lot more significant from last years. I would hate to spend 500 dollars on a "crippled" 7800 GTX. Not to mention ATI is still a bench warmer in this competition. Just seems like upgrading this year is not even worth it to a 939 AGP owner no matter how much of a gamer you are. I'm disappointed in the selection this year. Performance is there, but the price/value and inconvenience is above and beyond. Last year was a great time to upgrade, while this year seems more like a money pit with no games to fill it over.

bob661 - Friday, August 12, 2005 - linkNext year is probably a better time to upgrade for the AGP owners, I agree. For me, I want a 7600GT. If there will be no such animal then maybe a 7800GT at Xmas. Reply
dwalton - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkI intially agreed with that statement until I thought about 90nm parts. Correct me if I am wrong but Nvidia has no 90nm parts.
While nvidia current line of 7xxx and 6xxx provide a broad range of performance. I'm sure nvidia can increase profit margins by producing 90nm parts.
Nvidia can simply take the 6800 GT and Ultra 90nm chips and rebadge them the 7600 vanilla and GT. Since this involves a simple process shrink and no tweaking, these new 90nm can possibly be clocked higher and draw less power while increasing profit margins, without the cost of designing new 7600 chips based off the G70 design. Making everyone happy.
coldpower27 - Friday, August 12, 2005 - linkI would like G70 technology on 90nm ASAP, I have a feeling Nvidia didn't do a shift to 90nm for NV40 for a reason, as that core is still based on AGP technology, and Nvidia currently doesn't have a native PCI-E part for 6800 Line, they are all using HSI on the GPU substrate from the NV45 design.
NV40 on 0.13 micron is 287mm2 as pointed out by a previous poster, a full optical node shrink from 0.13 micron to 0.09 micron without any changes whatsoever, would bring NV40 287mm2 die size to ~ 172mm2 as full node optical shrink generally gives a die size of around 60%. This die size may not be enough to maintain a 256Bit Memory Interface,
Hence why Nvidia is rumored to do only a 0.11 micron process shrink (NV48) on the NV40 as that would bring a core down to about 230mm2 which is 80% of the size. Still large enuogh to maintain the 256Bit Memory Interface with little problem.
Making a 90nm G7x part for the mainstream segement directly would be very nice.
Let's say it has 16 Pipelines, and 8 ROP's to help save transistor space, plus the enhanced HDR buffers, and Transparency AA. It would be fairly close to the range I believe of 170mm2, it would probably still be limited at 128Bit Memory Interface, but the use of GDDR3 1.6ns @ 600MHZ could help alleviate the bandwidth problems some. Remember large amounts of memory bandiwdth combined with high fillrate is reserved for the higher segements, very hard to have your cake and eat it too in the mianstream.
Let's faice it for the time being, were not going to be getting fully fucntional high end cores at the 199US price point with 256Bit Memory Interface, so far we have gotten things like Radeon X800, Geforce 6800, 6800 LE, X800 SE, X800 GT. Etc etc. It just doesn't seem profitable to do so.
From what we have seen mianstream parts based on the tweaked technology are usually seen, RV410 Radeon X700, NV36 Geforce FX 5700 are mainstream cores based on the third and second generation of R300 and NV30 technology.
The 6800 @ 199US, 6800 GT @ 299US, 6800 U @ 399US is a temporay measure and production should slow on these cards as Nvidia ramps up the 90nm G7x based parts.
dwalton - Friday, August 12, 2005 - link"I would like G70 technology on 90nm ASAP, I have a feeling Nvidia didn't do a shift to 90nm for NV40 for a reason, as that core is still based on AGP technology, and Nvidia currently doesn't have a native PCI-E part for 6800 Line, they are all using HSI on the GPU substrate from the NV45 design."
I believe Nvidia didn't want another 5800 fiasco. They probably determine a long time ago that 110 nm was a safer bet and used the 6600 as a guinea pig. Having a sucessful launch of the 6600 gave them confidence that manufacturing a 110nm g70 would be painless process.
Futhermore, the 7600 will be a midrange card and will target a market segment that is more than likely dominated by AGP boards. So NV40 based 7600 would make perfect sense since the majority of the 7600 sold wouldn't require a HSI chip.

The X800 GT is a 256Bit Memory Interface Card and targets the 6600 GT segment.
coldpower27 - Friday, August 12, 2005 - link"The X800 GT is a 256Bit Memory Interface Card and targets the 6600 GT segment."
I guess you missed reading the fully functional part, as the X800 GT does not comply with this statement.
I guess I didn't get my meaning right, when I said G70 technology, I was talking about the mainstream cards going to 90nm not the 7800 GTX/GT.
For a mid range part the risk would be reduced for going to 90nm as the core is not quite as complex, Nvidia did make safe bet to go to 110nm for their high end cards, I am asking for a G7x technology based performace (199US) card on 90nm technology. Not on the high end.
Targeting PCI-E now would be a good idea as there are now boards on both sides that have PCI-E support for a decent amount of time, and it's the more forward thinking marchitecture, not to mention the possibility of power conusmption reduced enough on the 7600 GT to put it solely on the PCI-E bus if the Bridge Chip didn't exist. There isn't much point in designing a native AGP chip now, unless your talking about the value segment where margins are extremely thin per card.
For the AGP users, I believe they can continue to use 110nm NV48, but I would like for PCI-E users to benefit from a 7600 GT 90nm PCI-E native card, with possible bridging to AGP if demand calls for it. There isn't much point of calling the mianstream card a 7600 GT if it's not based on G7x technology. We don't want Nvidia to follow ATI's lead on that kinda front. :) Reply
neogodless - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkI mainly agree with you, and who knows, such things could be in the work. But "simple process shrink"? I get the feeling that's a contradiction!
Let us not forget the mistakes of the past... like the FX5800 and its "simple process shrink". Reply
dwalton - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkThe FX5800 was Nvidia attempt to introduce a new high end architecture on a new process (130nm) it had never used before. Just like ATI is doing now. The 6xxx lines (130nm) is not new tech so producing a mature NV40 architecture on 90nm or 110nm should go alot smoother. Even at 130nm the NV40 is smaller than the G70 at 110nm (287mm² vs. 334mm²). Moving the NV40 to 90nm would reduce die size to ~200mm². Look at the 6600Gt: 110nm, 150mm², 8 pipes(?) vs. a 90nm NV40 ~200mm², 16 pipes.
JarredWalton - Friday, August 12, 2005 - linkUnless they can make a 90nm "7600GT" part backwards compatible (via SLI) with the 6800GT, NVIDIA is in a position of "damned if you do, damned if you don't." As a 6800GT owner, I'd be rather sad to suddenly have the promise of upgrading to SLI yanked away. Reply

Thats first page smacks of elitism. Why can't we average people with a 5900XT (or even 5200) upgrade to say a 7600 that uses less power and thus is less noisy and easier to cool to than a 6600 or 6800?
I wonder which of the 2 authors wrote that paragraph?
I guess this could be a symptom of Anand and his Apple usage, cause Apple people are often very elitist. Or it could be that they want to be the upmarket tech website for people with lots of money and think Toms Hardware is better suited to us unwashed (FX 5200 weilding) masses.
Actually, this whole new colourscheme smacks of cold sauve elitism! Not the warm yellowish homey feel of old....

Shinei - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkAs has been pointed out in this very comments section, a 7600 release would be redundant because there already is a 16-pipe, 350MHz part with 6 vertex pipelines: The 6800GT. There is no elitism, it's the raw fact that a 7600GT would be identical to a 6800GT in specifications and (most likely) performance, rendering it pointless to spend time fabricating when the 6800GT serves just as well.
As for the article, I noticed that the 7800GT was outperformed by the 6800U in some SLI applications (like UT2004). Is that related to memory bandwidth, or is that a driver issue because of the 77.77 beta drivers you tested with? Reply

And anyway its about price point, will the 6800GT cost as much as the 6600GT then?
I want 6800GT (aka 7600) performance at the $200 to $250 pricepoint and I want it now!
I'd settle for a 7200 that performs like a 6600 too. Reply
DerekWilson - Friday, August 12, 2005 - linkYes, the 6800 GT will come down to $250 and likely even more over the next few months. You can already buy a 6800 GT for $270 (from our realtime price engine).
The 6800 GT is not a noisy part. The HSF solution for the 7800 GT is strikingly similar. A lower performance G70 part may run cooler and draw less power, but, again, the 6800 GT is not a power hog.
There really is not a reason for us to want a lower performing G70 part -- prices on 6 Series cards are falling and this is all we need. Even if NVIDIA came out with something like a "7200 that performs like a 6600", the 6600 would probably be cheaper because people would the 7 means more performance -- meaning the 6600 would be a better buy.

pio!pio! - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkCan the sample card you obtained be overclocked to anywhere near GTX speed? (cpu and memory)
Also I know it's early, but any thoughts on softmodding it to enable more pipelines? Reply
JNo - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkGood question. xbitlabs.com state in their review that, "The GeForce 7800 GT reference graphics card we had in our lab proved quite overclockable. We managed to increase its working frequencies from 400MHz for the chip and 1000MHz for the memory to 470MHz for the chip and 1200MHz for the memory, which should ensure a significant performance increase during our tests." Unfortunately they did not include overclocked results in their graphs.
Also, xbitlabs noted that the PCB is shorter than for the GTX, that the cooler is shorter and also commented on noise levels, given that unlike the GTX, the GT is apparently unable to regulate its fan speed. It is a shame that anandtech missed out on such details. Reply

"Until performance is increased beyond the 7800 GTX, it will be hard for us to see a reason for a new desktop 7 series part."
So you rich boys got your flashy new toys and now you see no need for a new desktop 7 part, because you're too busy thinking about how you're gonna be playing games on the go (i.e. your new laptop GPU).
What about us stuck at 6600 GT level. Don't we deserve an upgrade??? Like a 12-16 pipe/ 256-bit 7600 GT? I guess that we are just fine, since we're stuck with 1280x1024 res monitors anyway, right? WRONG! We've been cheated out of a significant upgrade long enough. Until 6600 GT there was only BS in the mainstream for about 2,5 years (R9500/9600/PRO/XT/GF5600/Ultra,...) and we're not going back there, no sir!
Same sh!t when people with broadband post large uncompressed images on the web and forget about all those with dial-up, even though they themselves left that sorry bunch not too long ago. The world is weee bit bigger than your own back yard and someone writing for a site as big as AT should really know that.
DerekWilson - Friday, August 12, 2005 - linkI just want to add my two cents as well ...
I will agree with you that the 6600 GT was the first real solid mainstream option in a while. It's a good card.
I'll argue that the next mainstream card you'll want to look at is the 6800 GT. There are 128MB parts and 256MB parts all with 256-bit busses and 16 pixel pipes at good clock speeds.
As other's have said, releasing a G70 part with the same specs as the 6800 GT will have the same performance as well.
We tried to explain in the article that the 6 Series comprises the rest of the lineup going forward. There are no performance gaps that the G70 needs to fill in. The only reason NVIDIA would want to release slower G70 parts would be to phase out the 6 Series part at that same speed grade.
It also doesn't make sense for NVIDIA to immediately release a slower G70 part. The lower transistor count and more mature process used on NV4x chips will likely make it easier for NVIDIA to sell the parts at a lower price and higher profit than equivalently performing G70 parts. The economics of this are very complicated and depend quite a bit on NVIDIA and TSMC and the cost per IC for NV4x and G70 chips.
It would almost make sense for NVIDIA to take less functional G70 chips and sell them as 6 Series parts. But maybe I'm wrong. Perhaps NVIDIA will think it can trick people into thinking a part with the same performance as a 6800 or 6800 GT and a 7 Series name is worth more money.
It really shouldn't matter to anyone whether 6 Series parts keep falling in price or other 7 Series parts come out. I stand behind my statement. We'll see lower performing G70 parts come out if and when it becomes more financially viable for NVIDIA to sell those parts than NV4x parts. There really isn't any other factor that matters.
Transparency AA may be an interesting thing, but moving towards the budget end of the spectrum will tend to make the performance impact of Transparency AA too high to matter. Other little tweaks and features have already been covered and aren't that compelling over the 6 Series, and seeing a G70 perform the same as an NV4x for the same price really wouldn't be that exciting no matter what my budget looks like.
Derek Wilson Reply
coldpower27 - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkIt would be interesting to see if the 90nm based 7600 part has a 256Bit Memory Interface, as it seems 256Bit Memory Interface cards usually have a minimum die size of around 200mm2 just out of range of a high volume mianstream level card.
I would certainly want a 7600 GT if it had a similar pipeline configuration in comparison to the 6800 or 6800 GT because G7x does have some improvements I like, most notable the improvement in HDR performance levels, and Transparency AA, also what about WGF 1.0 support? It usually for the most part better to have a new mainstream card based on newer tech then just shifting older technology into the lower price points, as those cards aren't meant for those price points and are usually more expensive to produce.
Not all of us can even afford the current 399US price point of 7800 GT. Reply

jkostans - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkThe 9800 pro had to be the best budget investment in all of video card history (as far as I can remember anyways). The price for the 128MB version quickly dropped to below $200 and it was pretty much the top performing card on the market for that price. Now its impossible to find a sub $200 offering that will last for more than 6 months. Reply

Until performance is increased beyond the 7800 GTX
Same here, sort of. I would LOVE to have a mid range card based on this tech. Running cooler and performing MUCH better than my current setup. Reply
neogodless - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkI think what the two of you are missing is that the Geforce 6 series is basically the same technology. This pushes the 6800GT a little closer to mainstream, as it can currently be had for around $250-300, and it will probably drop in the next few months to the $200 level, which is about where it could be considered mainstream (and probably about what you paid for your 6600GT. Any new "mainstream" 7xxx releases would simply overlap current 6xxx parts. If the 7xxx series showed more of a technological difference, then this sort of thing would make more sense. If you go to Nvidia's home page, you'll see their "power of 3" marketing push, and see the list of products that all share this same technology. Reply
Lonyo - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkYup.
The original request was for "Like a 12-16 pipe/ 256-bit 7600 GT"
Err, the 6800, 6800GT are 12 and 16 pipe, 256bit SM3 cards.
How would a 7600GT type part be ANY different than what we already have, except for being cooler/cheaper to make?
In terms of performance, it's just a case of the 6800 dropping down to cheaper prices.
And as I said in the forums:
"Lower end redesigned parts to replace the 6xxx series would probably use 11nm tech, which would lead to smaller dies, and lower power consumption, reducing heat in the end, and reducing cost to make the die in the first place, making it a better deal for both consumers and nVidia, although transitioning the NV40 to 0.11 might not be worth the hassle."
ie: there's already a current part fitting the niche you want a brand new part for, and the probable only changes would be a transition to a smaller process, and a dropping of the price. Reply
bob661 - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkLike I said, I find the cooler/faster combination VERY attractive. I don't care about the 6800GT as it will be warmer/slower than a "7600GT". Reply
PrinceGaz - Friday, August 12, 2005 - linkWhile the 6800GT would be warmer than a hypothetical 16-pipe 7600GT, it would not be slower. On the contrary, the 6800GT would probably be faster. Why? Because it has a 256-bit memory-bus, and in all probability the 7600 series would have a 128-bit bus.
The 6800 and 7800 series are designed as high-end parts and for that they need the 256-bit bus to allow satisfactory performance at the extreme resolutions with AA that high-end users demand. The 6600 and possible 7600 are designed as mid-range parts and they do not need to be able to run at such high resolutions with AA, therefore they can make do with a 128-bit bus as memory-bandwidth is not so important at medium resolutions. The 128-bit bus lowers the cost of manufacturing the core, and also the card's circuit board as it is much simplified, and provides a clear distinction between the mid-range and high-end parts.
Do you really think they'd release a 16-pipe 256-bit 7600GT, when the 7800GT is "only" a 20-pipe card? The performance gap would be too narrow. A 12-pipe 256-bit 6600GT would be a possibility, but it would make a lot less sense than a 16-pipe 128-bit 6600GT.
If you want a 16-pipe 256-bit card, just go out and buy a 6800GT. It's every bit as good as the 16-pipe 256-bit 7600GT you want but which will never be released. Reply

neogodless - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkLikewise your 6600GT won't perform like a 6800GT... which would perform the same as a 7600GT... the 6800GT will be sold in the $200-$220 price point within six months, and probably sooner.
What I might find exciting... would be if ATI actually gets their new card out... and has new mainstream parts (available to buy) that drive down the prices of the X800/X850 and Geforce 6800GT even more, and maybe introduce some new technology, too.
Has anyone heard anything about naming of the new ATI cards? Are they finally ready to give up the Radeon name... or their new X naming? If they went with X900 for the new flagship, would they be able to release new mainstream parts, since there would be nothing to name them?! Reply
Quiksel - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkLike I mentioned in one of the other articles:
"(1) I understand that taking new tech and reviewing it on launch day, etc., is important. (2) Then comes the mass production of the tech by different manufacturers, so there's a need for the readers to be informed on the differences between the different products. (3) Then there's the difference between the interim releases after the initial launch of the new tech that also need reviewing and explanation. From those three different times of a piece of new tech, I would typically expect 3 articles or so for each piece of said new tech. From my initial post, I have just been surprised that what seems to be happening are lots of reviews centered around the second phase of your review cycle, and so that's why I was asking whether this is really what readers want to see on AT all the time (i.e., $500 graphic cards to oggle and wish a relative would die so that we could afford it)."
"Can't tell you how weird I felt last night to read the new article about the $3000 desk. I guess it helps to have some off-the-wall review about such a nice piece of desk. But is that really what the readers want to see? More hardware that they can't afford? One poster above me here mentioned that you've lost touch with your readers, and sometimes, I wonder whether you're really just trying to fill a niche that no one else is really pursuing in an effort to either drive the industry in that direction or just cater to a crowd that may or may not even visit here. Who knows. I sure got confused with such an article. These 7800GTX articles have done the same for me."

JarredWalton - Friday, August 12, 2005 - linkI have my doubts as to whether a 7600 type card will even *BE* launched in the next six months. Think about it: why piss off all the owners of 6800GT cards by releasing a new card that isn't SLI compatible? From the customer support standpoint, it's better to keep the older SLI-capable cards in production and simply move them to the mid-range and value segments. Which is exactly what NVIDIA did with 6800 and 6800GT with this launch. Now if the 6800U would just drop to $350, everything would be about right. Reply
jkostans - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkThe 7800GT is slightly slower than a 6800 Ultra SLI setup and the GTX is on par or faster. The GT AND GTX cost less than the additional 6800 ultra upgrade to SLI, so SLI is rather useless. Why opt for an extra power hungry 6800 ultra when you can just swap for a lower power 7800 GT or better performing and lower power GTX for less money? This will happen with the 7800 GTX SLI setup too. SLI should only be a considerationas an initial buy (for rich gamers who want the absolute best), not as an upgrade path for later.

Most of us stick to 1024x768 so that we can get high framerates and enable all the features and play the game on the highest settings. In addition you did not show how the GT and GTX stacked up against the previous generation suchs as the 6800 ultra, GT and the 5950 ultra. And Where is the AGP version?

ATI is really lagging this time around. Hopefully we will get some AGP love. AGP still got a good 2 years of life left in it. Reply
DerekWilson - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkI play games at 1920x1080 and 1920x1200 depending on what room I'm in ... and I like to have at least 8xAF on and 4xAA if I can.
When I'm not playing at those resolutions, I'm playing at 1600x1200 with 4xAA 8xAF period. Any lower than that and I feel like I'm back in 1996.
But that may just be me :-)
If I ran benchmarks at 1024x768, no matter the settings, all these cards would give me the same number (barring everquest 2 on extreme quality which would probably still be slow).
I also play with vsync on so I don't get tearing ... but we test with it off so we can remove the limits and see the cards potential. Reply
neogodless - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkHey, that's good to know about the vsync... back when I played Doom III, I noticed some of that, but didn't know much about it. I just felt "robbed" because my Geforce 6800GT was giving me tearing... thought maybe it couldn't keep up with the game. But everywhere I went I saw people saying "Vsync off! Two legs good!" Reply

Locut0s - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkSpeak for yourself but as an owner of a 21" CRT, and I know I'm not the only one, I can see using resolutions above 1600x1200 quiet easily. Reply
JNo - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - link"no gamer plays videogames at resolutions above 1600x1200!"
Er, I have a Dell 2405 monitor running at 1920x1200 and I always run it native where possible (even with my 6600GT, many modern games are *playable* including CS Source, Far Cry) so this statement is complete balls. Obviously I would like a faster card to run games as smooth as possible so the tested resolutions are extremely pertinent to me. Reply
DrZoidberg - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkThe high resolutions are needed cause at 1024x768 there will hardly be any difference between 6800GT, 7800GT, x850xt, 7800GTX cause all these cards handle this resolution easily and they will give similar fps cause they will all be CPU limited. Reply
vijay333 - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkI believe the higher resolutions are used because at the lower ones there really isn't much differentiation between the various cards. The article title is "Rounding Out The High End" so hopefully there'll be another comparing the performance against mid-range cards (high-end from previous generation). AGP is missing, but is there really that much difference between the AGP and PCIe versions of the same card?
vijay333 - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkCool. very recently bought an eVGA 6800GT. given their step-up program, plan on paying the difference and getting the 7800 GT in 2-3 months when the price is bound to be lower. Reply

GoatMonkey - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkThey at least have ATI 850 benchmarks on there. You can approximate where the 6800 series cards are going to be from that. It would be nice to see them on there also though if possible.

Staples - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkFirst off, lots of graphs are not loading.
Second, use some common sense. I am upgrading, not downgrading. I want to see what performance I will get over my 6800GT, not how much less I will get than the $600 GTX. Reply
Anton74 - Thursday, August 11, 2005 - linkAnd now, for some common sense. :]
If you're a 6800GT owner, *and* looking to upgrade that still not-so-cheap and capable beast, you're not so much worried about the money as most people are, but you'll be very interested in performance.
So, wouldn't you want to know if you should spend ~$450 for a more modest upgrade (compared to that 6800GT), or ~$550 for the most performance you could get without going SLI?? If the ~$100 difference is a very big deal to you, you wouldn't be looking to upgrade your 6800GT. (And yes, I know these prices fluctuate, and may each be more or less, but the point is still valid.)
Not including its direct sibbling in the benchmarks, the GTX, now that would have been lack of common sense. Honestly. Reply

text: Conoktra 144 Report post Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) Hi [img]http://public.gamedev.net//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/img] I need to make payments to a freelancer who lives in Sweden. He has requested that we not use PayPal (eg "paypal is stealing my money!"). Ive looked into doing an International Wire Transfer but it would add a 15% overhead to my costs. I looked into Western Union and it didn't work out for many reasons (very poor customer support being one of them). Money Gram only supports physically going to an agent and picking it up but that's not an option because I would prefer to just do it electronically (minimal hassle on the client). The US post office doesn't do money orders to Sweden. I have no clue if I could send him a check (or a prepaid visa) and if it would work over there. Does anyone know what the best way would be to pay someone in Sweden? Maybe I will pay him in fruit-baskets from an online gift shop xD.

Dear Pharmacist, I am very afraid of getting cancer because it runs in my family. The stress makes me vigilant about eating right: I'm a vegan and I take medicinal mushrooms and vitamin C every day. Am I on the right track?--V.D., Salt Lake City, Utah
Answer: Yes, and your fear is understandable. About 1.5 million people heard the word "cancer" as a diagnosis in 2008.
With cancer, you have to be mindful of the "free radicals" in your body. You want as few as possible. Free radicals are molecules that damage innocent cells. They are normally neutralized in a healthy body.
But if you smoke, expose yourself to pesticides, sun damage, pollution, maintain a poor diet or eat artificial sweeteners and preservatives, you severely reduce your body's defenses against those free radicals, which cause "oxidative" damage.
Guess what neutralizes it? The "anti" oxidant, of course, such as vitamins A, C, E, D, selenium and ubiquinol.
Free radicals trigger the release of bad chemicals in your body such as IGF-1, IL6, C-reactive protein, homocysteine and TNF-a. These chemicals increase pain, inflammation and the growth of cancer.
Foods that increase inflammatory chemicals include processed meats (like hot dogs), red meat and eggs, which are high in arachidonic acid, dairy protein (casein) and wheat protein (gluten). Recently, a study in the Annals of Internal Medicine concluded that meat and dairy increase levels of IGF-1 by 15% and IGF-1 fuels prostate cancer.
If you cut down on foods that trigger immune reactions and eat more organic fruits and vegetables, you can improve immune function.
There are also natural supplements and foods that increase vitality, energy and immune function. These include rosemary, broccoli, olives, ground flaxseed, probiotics, cat's claw, curcumin, omega 3 fatty acids, ginger, N-acetylcysteine, spirulina and finally, clinically tested brands of modified citrus pectin (MCP). Anecdotal evidence suggests some ingredients in Essiac supplements can strengthen the immune system too.
I've also grown fond of "organic germanium" because this dietary supplement is a strong immune booster that sweeps away free radicals and floods your cells with oxygen.
That's important because cancer growth is interrupted by oxygen. A number of clinical trials support the role of organic germanium (Ge-132) for cancer prevention because it increases T-cells, B-lymphocytes and natural killer cells -think "sheriff" kind of killer cell. Germanium may help with depression, fatigue and heavy metal poisoning. Always talk with your oncologist about introducing new supplements.
At home, I make "anti-everything tea." I heat 2 cups of water with some sprigs of fresh parsley, dandelion, cilantro, rosemary, cinnamon spice and a teaspoonful of fresh grated ginger; add half a teaspoonful of matcha or dried blueberry loose leaf tea. Steep for 3 minutes and sweeten with stevia or agave syrup.

AFC Wimbledon manager Neal Ardley wants more than a "bit of momentum" after another display of individual rather than team spirit.
The Dons took the lead against League Two play-off hopefuls Burton Albion through new boy Gary Alexander.
However, Albion drew level through their own new signing when Michael Symes made the most of some slack defending.
Albion's Zander Diamond was sent off with 15 minutes remaining for an off-the-ball incident with Pim Balkestein - however, the Dons could not make the most of their numerical advantage.
The draw extends the Dons unbeaten run to five games, but it also saw them drop to the foot of the table.
Ardley said: "We didn't do enough, but they battled well and limited us to few chances.
"I've told some players that they have to stop playing their own game and start playing the game as a team and stick to the script.
"We can't afford to keep dropping points. It becomes a problem when people stop doing their jobs, there is a bit of momentum there - but it's still not good enough."
Ardley's men face a tough trip to the League Two leaders Port Vale tomorrow night.

Veras blows save as Astros fall to Tigers
Closer unable to hold lead after Houston rallies in seventh
HOUSTON -- Everything was in place, or so it seemed.
Astros starter Bud Norris turned in his second consecutive quality start at a time when the bullpen found itself depleted from Thursday's 14-inning loss. Houston's ace threw seven solid innings, holding the Tigers to two runs on five hits while striking out a season-high seven batters.
The Astros rallied from a 2-0 deficit with a three-run seventh to take a 3-2 lead to the ninth inning for closer Jose Veras.
But Tigers catcher Alex Avila had other plans. His two-run homer with one out in the ninth inning snapped a personal 0-for-8 streak at the plate and gave the Tigers a 4-3 win over the Astros in front of 16,719 at Minute Maid Park.
"Bud Norris did what a No. 1 starter does," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "When his team is light in the bullpen after a 14-inning game, he goes seven innings and held one of the best offensive teams in our league to two runs."
Tigers manager Jim Leyland recognized the efforts of not only Norris, but of the entire Astros staff, which for the most part has held down Detroit's potent offense in two games.
"Norris pitched really good," Leyland said. I was impressed. We don't see these guys much. They throw good pitchers at you."
"I went out and executed some pitches and the guys played defense behind me and had a great ballgame," Norris said. "We came out on the short end of the stick, but these guys fought for nine innings. It was a tough one to lose, for sure, but I know we played hard and that's a positive for us."
Third baseman Matt Dominguez started Houston's seventh-inning rally with a leadoff double. Rick Ankiel singled and Marwin Gonzalez sent a grounder off the glove of Tigers second baseman Omar Infante. It was ruled an error, but Gonzalez received the RBI when Dominguez crossed the plate with Houston's first run.
"It kept us in the game," Dominguez said of Houston's productive inning.
Robbie Grossman tied the game at 2-2 with an RBI single, scoring Ankiel and extending his hitting streak to five games, and Jose Altuve's infield single chased home Gonzalez with the go-ahead run.
"It was impressive because it wasn't home runs, it was quality at-bats," Porter said. "We kept the line moving. The balls were hit back up the middle to drive runs in. I thought the guys did a tremendous job of locking in during those at-bats with men in scoring position and getting the job done."
Altuve went 3-for-5 on the night, the fifth time this season the Astros' second baseman has tallied at least three hits in a game.
But in what has become an all-too-familiar outcome, the Astros couldn't hold the lead.
"Losing is tough, any time," Porter said. "But from last night's game to tonight's game, you take away that this is the defending American League champion, and one play here, one play there, and both of these nights we're going home victorious. Unfortunately, that didn't happen.
"We've played good baseball. We've had some misfortune along the way. But the tide is going to change and a lot of these plays are going to go our way and we're going to hit our stretch of winning these type of ballgames."
What the Astros did manage to do Friday was to break Detroit's consecutive game streak of 10-or-more strikeouts. Tigers pitching recorded just six strikeouts, and the seven-game streak -- an AL record -- came up one shy of the Major League mark set last year by the Milwaukee Brewers.
First baseman Carlos Pena also extended his season-long hitting streak to six games with a bunt single in the sixth inning. He is one of just three active players with at least 25 bunt hits and 250 homers, joining Derek Jeter and Carlos Beltran.
However, Jason Castro went 0-for-5 as Houston's designated hitter, which snapped his career-high nine-game hitting streak.

19 Feb 1990 — Provo, UT
104 YEARS DOESN'T FEEL `THAT OLD' TO FATHER OF 9, EX-RAILROAD WORKER By Brooke Adams Published: Monday, Feb. 19, 1990
James Rodeback celebrated his birthday Friday, but he says he doesn't feel "that old" at all.
Rodeback is 104."I couldn't say just what (age I feel like)," Rodeback said. "I get around to do things just dandy. I get up and walk just like a young person."
Rodeback lived on his own until he turned 103; for the past year, he has lived at East Lake Care Center in Provo. He has no health problems and does not take any medication. His diagnosis, according to an aide at the center, is old age.
Rodeback was originally from Hoytsville but lived most of his life in Lindon. He attributes his longevity to hard work. "I worked on the railroad (for Union Pacific) I don't know how many years," he said. "I've done hard work." Rodeback also worked as a sheepherder and a farmer.
Rodeback and his wife, Pearl Geneva Cobbley, now deceased, had nine children. Their oldest daughter, Geneva Peterson, of Lehi, is 76.
"I have never in my life seen someone have better health," Peterson said.
She said her dad never learned to drive a car.
"He used to have a horse and buggy and used to ride a bike to work,"
Peterson said. "One day he was walking to work, and somebody stopped to give him a ride. He said no, he wanted to get there."
Story continues below
When Provo Mayor Joe Jenkins came to wish him a happy birthday on Friday, Rodeback wanted to know "who told ya" it was his birthday. It may have been one of Rodeback's great-grandchildren: He has 98 of them.

Sutton United boss Paul Doswell insists that Tuesday night's 2-1 win over promotion-chasing Welling United sent a message to his own dressing room, rather than other teams in the Blue Square South.
Craig Dundas, with his 50th for the club, and Harry Ottaway got the goals that meant Jamie Stuart's header that hit the post and Sam Rents' penalty miss would not return to haunt United.
A late Wings consolation made for a nervous finale, but Doswell was left describing a "stellar" performance and a leap up the table of seven places to 13th.
"It is not about sending a message to the League, is about sending a message to the boys in the dressing room," Doswell said.
"I've just told them that it was a stellar performance, they were superb and need to believe that we are good enough to play like that,
"That is the standard we want to set ourselves now."
He added: "There has been a change of tactics over the past couple of weeks, and the players have had to take it on board and tonight you saw a team that pressed for nearly 90 minutes, and at this level that is unusual, and when we pressed high up the pitch we created four or five really good chances."
Earlier in the season United would rue the missed chances and Doswell has talked at length at not getting what they deserve from games.
However, even after Rents's penalty was saved and the first half chances had gone begging, Doswell continued to convince his players their new approach would pay dividends.
He said: "I tried to stay calm about the penalty save. We had hit the post, the penalty was deserved and their keeper has made two good saves - at that point, as a manager, you jusy have to tell the lads to keep believing.
"At half-time we asked the players to carry on believing in what we were trying to do.
"When we pressed, Welling were not getting the chances. I could have been stood here talking about a 1-0 defeat and that would have been harsh, but it was not the case."
United host Eastbourne Borough this weekend, and welcome Basingstoke to Gander Green Lane on Tuesday.

A significant drop in gas prices in the past week caused cars to line up onto the street waiting to fill up at some Grant County stations.
While fuel prices have recently dipped well below $2 — a sight that has not been seen in months — the marquees at several stations displayed a per-gallon cost as low $1.75.
The AAA Fuel Price Finder on Tuesday, Nov. 4, listed an area average for a gallon of gas in Dry Ridge and Williamstown at $1.99 compared to $2.33 and $3.40 last week and six months ago, respectively.

The Atletico Madrid man is subject of strong interest from Stamford Bridge, but insists that he remains focused on playing for his current club after 13 goals in 11 games this term
The Colombian forward has been in scintillating form this season, scoring 13 goals in 11 appearances for Los Rojiblancos, including a hat-trick against the Blues.
"The last thing I'm thinking about right now is a transfer," he told reporters.
"I have a contract with Atletico Madrid and I'm focused on my team."
Falcao has made no secret of his desire to move abroad, telling Radio Caracol: "The chance of playing in another league and for another club will come. I keep dreaming."
Goal.com exclusively revealed Chelsea and Atletico have opened up talks over a potential £48.1million January move for the sought-after striker, who hit 25 goals in the Spanish league last season.
The forward featured in Colombia's 1-1 draw with Brazil in New Jersey on Wednesday night, and stated his international side can learn a lot by playing against a side of the Selecao's ability.
He added: "It was a very good game. We expected a great Brazilian team and we found it like that. They made it difficult for us to have possession of the ball the way we like it. We learned a lot from today.
"I expected a strong game from the defence and I had to fight to touch the ball because they are very strong defenders."

A PECULIAR animal called The Hoobee will be let loose at a Tring museum next Thursday.
The Hoobee is an animal invented by nine-year-old Alexander Coombs from London.
He is the winner of the Imaginary Animal Competition which ran during spring at The Natural History Museum at Tring.
The imaginary animal, described by Alexander as covered in feathers with spikes on top, beat off competition from more than 30 entries to be brought to life by creative costume designer, Georgina Davey.
