Looking for time is using it
Looking for time is using it
When somebody loves you
It's no good unless he loves you all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you all the way
[Chorus:]
Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue sea is
That's how deep it goes if it's real
When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in-between years come what may
[Bridge:]
Who knows where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you all the way all the way
Song by Frank Sinatra
I was browsing the Net for oldies songs such as from Cliff Richards, Elvis and Frank Sinatra for a video presentation project for 09.09.09. Found this song :) . A-a-aaaa it is a beautiful song, at this very stressful times ... giving me hope ...
If it's real ...
If you have ATI Radeon 4870 1 GB video card, you can soft-mod it into ATI FirePro v8700. The princip is simple, it is just forcing the drivers to recognise the card as the V8700. The GPU is identical on V8700 and the 4870. I ordered one 4870, but with 512 MB, It will arrive in 3-4 days, and I will try to soft-mod too
It is a soft-mod, so if you take your card to another PC, reinstall the OS etc. it will be recognized as a 4870, so nothing to worry about if something goes wrong
The results are impressive, here is a benchmark test:
Modded ATI 4870 1 GB into V8700 - 3dsmax - 34.10
Standard ATI 4870 1 GB - 3dsmax- 16.92
It is 100%+ performance boost

1. Learn how to softmod from this site http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=227800 (the info might seems to be outdated but what we do are basically the same.
2. download rivaturner from http://www.guru3d.com/index.php?page=rivatuner
3. if you want to get more info / guides / tutorials on how to use the rivaturner then go to this site: http://www.vaguetech.com/?pageid=rt207 (note this was taken from http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=195029 original post by boogieman)
4. Get a patchscript from http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=275174 , theres more floating around in this forums though. keep in mind theres different patchscripts, like one for winxp 32 bits / 64s / or vista 32bits / vista 64bits.
5. Download the FireGl/FirePro driver that you want your gaming videocard to be softmoded to. http://support.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDSupportHub.aspx click on workstation cards. Select v8700 then you will get a latest driver
6. Don't feel too overwhelmed .. just get rivatruner, patchscript, and firegl/firepro driver - for me its basically
a. find a patchscript for my os (winxp32bits) and my videocard, edit it if you need to (like I did , see my original post and others)
b. go to folder path : C:\Program Files\RivaTuner v2.23\PatchScripts\ATI\SoftFireGL\Unified
c. open the file : SoftFireGL w2k.rts with notepad or other text editing software.
d. copy and paste the patchscript code into it. Save.
c. this time double click the same file. rivaturner dialog will appear, click the dropmenu and select force v8700 then another dialog will ask you where is the driver file, you just help navigate it to where you extracted the firegl/firepro driver, to driver folder, the cx_ thing then .. click ok and pray that it work.
d. if it work, then go to mycomputer rightclick it and select manage, select device manager, click display adapter, click on your videocard then right click again, select update river then you know the rest. after that reboot and make another prayer.

And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted, all the times
That I though would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' CrAzY
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' cRaZy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
By Richard Marx
