[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	The Windows 8 Preview is able to use AMD Bulldozer's multi-threaded execution scheduler engine, but Windows 7 has not. Microsoft now has a hot fix to enable this in Windows 7 as well. PC Per estimates you could see up to 10% performance improvement in some multi-threaded applications. http://www.pcper.com/news/Processors/Microsoft-Releases-Update-Improve-Bulldozer-Performance -----signature----- (none)

	Opps, Microsoft screwed up. Apparently there are suppose to be two patches required to improve Bulldozer's Windows 7 performance. And they are scheduled to launch together Q1 2012. This one patch coming out now was an accident and Microsoft has now removed it. Seems some users had negative performance after the patch. http://www.legitreviews.com/news/12045/ -----signature----- (none)
