Some things that could use improvement in the Dutch FAQ:

Quote:

'beantwoorden' means answer in Dutch so that doesn't make sense. 'beantwoorden' should be left out of the sentence (this will still leave a correct Dutch sentence).

Quote:

'instaat' must be written as: 'in staat' (with a space).
'diende' is single but you need plural so it should be 'dienden'.
Also, there's a dot missing at the end of the sentence.

Quote:

'spraken' is past tense. I assume the documents still exist so it should be 'spreken' (this also gives more 'power' to the sentence).

Quote:

The comma makes the structure of the sentence a bit hazy. A better way of writing this sentence is:
Quote:


Quote:

Nowhere in the Dutch language is 'echte' written with a ' above the e (échte > echte).

Quote:

'De Comdex '99 kaarten' (English: 'The Comdex '99 cards') is general and could also include the V4 and 5, yes, it is the V5 6K FAQ but still.
'zo kon niemand zien dat er 3500 chips op zaten.' This can be read two ways:
1. the boards were equipped with chips used on the V3 3500.
2. the boards were equipped with 3500 chips
A better structure for this sentence is:

@ Thandor

Exactly, If I were still in Australia as an Australian Citizen and I had a site like Gary  would answered in the same way, Dutch would sound like Japanese for most english people

I totally agree there lad  8)

Gary; you say that at full load the V5 6000 pulls 50 or 60 Watts at full load.

I've read somewhere that the VSA-100 chip uses 17 Watts, which means that the V5 6000 uses at least 68 Watts.

The thing is: the last article you linked is a preview-article so the power consumption is only assumed, the first two articles relate to one basic article (which says vague "up to 15 watt per VSA-100") and the third article states that the whole V5 5500 uses up to 40 watts.

There are not only the VSA-100-chips which consume power but RAM, voltage converters etc. so the overall consumption of the card isn't simply the added up consumption of four VSA-100-chips but this magnitude plus something more.

Furthermore these wattages are "worst-case-wattages" like at today's CPUs which have a TDP (thermal design power) of X watts but use in reality only X-Y watts. This is really blatant at the Athlon 64-CPUs: TDP of an A64 3500+ Venice is 67 watts but "real-life"-measurements of the german website hardtecs4u showed that this CPU only consume 32 watts at full load.

Thanx TM30

well it's a 7.2 Mega Pixel camera from Sony that is what I do know, the name I'm not sure, I will have a look for ya though norries there

and yes the Voodoo5 6000 is a great design. anyways here the V6K topic of mine :
