    Quick: what is a suitable video card for AutoCAD?

    ATI FireGL or Nvidia Quadro's would be perfectly suited to the job but I doubt they would be within the budget contraints you have. so, I'd recommend a GF4 Ti. they do a surprisingly admirable job rendering objects in Autocad and 3DSMax. in fact a GF4 Ti can be hacked so that it's turned into a...

    aw, that's a shame. that snake is a young red-bellied black snake.

    excellent explanation Buck :) now that variable cam timing isn't so cost prohibitive, you can see why it's become so popular. NRG, I can't see how a modern engine can meet the current emission standards of any European country without it's exhaust gasses passing through a cat.

    phpbb2.2 alpha info

    looks good. I'm in the process of setting up a phpBB forum (2.0.3) to replace the ezboard forum I run now. ezboard used to be good but the way they run their business now is shocking. they don't reply to support requests and they've actually managed to reduce the feature set they offer whilst...

    hmm. whilst there's some good facts in there there's also quite some discrepancies in that article too. it certainly doesn’t seem to be written by an expert in the field. most car exhaust systems that come out of the factory are surprisingly restrictive. they are basic in design and usually...

    I'm not sure how but my weekly total has jumped into the 600's. the only change is that I added Linux boxes but they only replaced two Windows boxes that my dev team needed.

    OCZ, GEIL and Crucial all do PC3500 CAS2 memory (otherwise know as DDR433 ). personally I'd go with Crucial but I've read good reviews on the other CAS2 DDR433 products. afaik, each of the thee makers handpick their ram modules and test each DIMM before it goes out the door.
