Double Or Nothing!
The latest in the world of computer graphics technology is multi-GPUs. So how do two—or more—graphics cores work together?

Digital Tools

Driving Data

Old Way Tech Way
With tutorials all over the Web for almost anything, is it no longer necessary to go to a coach for guitar lessons?

Order, Order!

rajas700 · 28-10-2005, 10:23 PM

Get's bored with DVD and CD content's(often repeated content).magazine are ok...

kato · 29-10-2005, 10:03 AM

i always like the mag content looking forward to the fast track book of this time

abhinav · 31-10-2005, 12:37 PM

Well loooks great and lets see what is in it

Aries · 01-11-2005, 01:30 AM

The Fast Forward book has two different paper qualities..

The first half is good and the second half is too bad.....

The packing is too huge, there are a lot of problems with it, cant travel with it unless we open it and throw it...cant put it in the bag unless you have a really huge bag, the packing also damages the Fast Forward book by the time it reaches the reader because too many people handle it

nithinks · 01-11-2005, 06:18 AM

Looks like mag is loaded with good stuff

bkpeerless · 03-11-2005, 02:38 PM

more game prevew man

SWEET SNEHA · 03-11-2005, 04:06 PM

and guess what...................they haven't updated their website still

its 3rd of nov

they are lazy 4 sure

05-11-2005, 02:38 PM

The Topic Headers sure did tempt me. A quick glance through the articles and all ye Digit guys & gals got me turned on. Talk about "Tech Feed".

Dual GPU Graphics cards comparison, AMD vs. Intel, Motherboards, Hard Drives, Sony PSP....
Yet to read the articles fully, got tied up with work.
Digit rox again!!!

Thanx a lot to Team Digit for delivering my nutrition on time and that too a heavy dose.

ycr007 · 05-11-2005, 04:33 PM

Just Glanced thru the Issue. One thing i found extremely revolting was the Horrible quality of the Images

Almost all the images,(Illustrations & screenshots ) were grainy and of utmost low-quality.
Ditto about the paper quality.
The Digit Forum Screenshot was so bad that it is almost unrecognizable.
so were the MoBo images in the Test Drive.

When readers pay 125 bucks ,they expect something of a decent quality mag. If its only the CD's and DVD that runs your business then i suggest you scrap the mag & only provide the cd's & dvd's instead.

I always endeavour to read the mag first and then try out the cd but the absolute lack of quality made me checkout the cd first for the first time!!!
This is not what I Expected from Digit.

kato · 06-11-2005, 09:42 PM

i got the digit today noon and saw something that made me think i had problems with my eye. The article "Vanilla is boring" written by raabo and mithun kidambi(great write up) had our very own member mod raven aka kak in action with his pc mod which he had been doing for quite a long. I think i m right to say it was him.

Also my post in the feedback section of forum was also seen with all others in forum section.

THe mag is totaly awesome and the work has been great

sid_ashok · 07-11-2005, 08:32 PM

I have been doing such mods with my PC. I was happy to see some one doing it so well.

sonuchandrakar · 08-11-2005, 07:55 AM

I havent got my copy yet.

08-11-2005, 04:21 PM

Yeah nigga,its wasn't a gr8 issue

ranju_neel · 09-11-2005, 07:25 PM

Just happened to be switched to the game max from the gamers tv on the AXN and was blown over the mod those guys do. I am about to buy a new PC and certainly gonna put the saw to the metal.

@Digit, great issue guys, anyway i am subscribing this month and i have been hooked to the mag after buying the mag for the last four month.

well actually i am kind of going nuts without my pc.
so eager to get the new one and try all the softwares on the dvd and cd on that day.

well it will be kinda heaven

@digit, guyz i am presently doing my masters in computer application and i am very happy to see subjects like dna computing and all other stuff homely and enlightnening

Chirag · 09-11-2005, 08:10 PM

I haven't got my issue yet. It is 9th today. Usually i get around 5 but this time very late. I think bcoz of Diwali and all other festivals.I hope to receive it by tomorrow.
