Well, I enjoy Quake 4, but, I can't run it at ultra high quality, even with the 800XL, and dual 2.8 ghz zeons, and get decent frame rates. Weird. Anyway, Farcry is nice, but the controls aren't real good, and niether am I at doing it. The saving thing is a pain. I've actually got a bunch of...

I've tried this a bunch with a variety of Mac cards, and driver conflicts were always a problem. Matrox was easiest solution. S

Matrox P650 or Parahelia. P650 requires special software from Matrox to enable the three head feature, comes with a cable, and is a 100 dollar add on if you don't get it with the card, at first. GS

Hi I was wondering what the differences in the two are, and why they appear so similar? Thanks gs

ATTO shows about 13 mb/sec with my Maxtor 250 gig external. USB 2. Good enough for backups... S

Time, Fair enough. Only guy I saw go that fast was Roberts. Only saw a couple races. Any idea what his record was? S

Bitch!!!! I want my motherboard back if this is what I get/ :wink: :excl: :excl: :excl: :excl: :excl:

Thanks. It's one of those things where someone here said buy them, because they're going out of production, or reducing in quality, and, damn, I'm getting old, but I couldn't remember why the hell I bought them? Good price on newegg, and source drying up? Again, Thanks gs

Hi Is there much difference? I picked up a couple of the later, since I heard from most that the later were going bad, or something. Can't remember... Anyway, they have been sitting in a box, waiting for a new machine, and I'm wondering if I should take the time to swap the 3540s for the...

It's REALLY a moving target. Waited for the new release X800XL and X700 ati's, with 256 mb vram, and look where they are now, in what seems like a week...... gs

I had a very fast, IMSA race car street mustang, built by Spectre racing in Belmont. Before they built my car, they took me out in Cobras, Panteras, Ferraris, etc. That said, brakes become real important, and weight. If you want to go really fast, and stop, the car should be really light...

Sensation of speed is relative. Formula Vee, sitting two inches off the ground, is like doing 150 mph on a skateboard. Plus, they handle like a formula one car. Lotus Super Seven is what the Atom looks like it was stolen from. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Seven...

Why not just buy a formula Vee? Aren't they nearly as fast, and cheaper? S

For 70 bucks, plus cable, these aren't all that expensive, and GD is a great company to work with. http://www.granitedigital.com/catalog/pg51_hot-swapinternalsystem.htm Hope this helps. They look VERY solid. Greg

As I have posted in other threads, I wonder if Apple is capable of writing decent x86 hardware software. So far, they TOTALLY SUCK. Why would anyone buy a mac, until they convert over. Frankly, as a former mac lover, from the MacPlus era, since the 9600, thanks to Jobs, they should be...

Hi Just bought 3 of these: http://www.granitedigital.com/catalog/pg51_hot-swapinternalsystem.htm Look great, but need a SATA cable. gs

If Mercutio thinks it's that good, I'll give it a try: Gigabyte GA-K8VM800M AMD Sempron 64 3300+ BUFFALO 1GB PC 3200 Seagate 7200.7 80GB SATA Antec SLK1650B w/350W PS LITE-ON SHW-160P6S DVD-RW Right now $399.42 at Newegg. David is nice enough to pick it up, and, I can swap parts, and move...

Our cat, the mother took off, she was feral. The cat below I think, is either abandoned, or a seriously outdoor cat. She's very strong, and getting into any kind of corrective behavior would require thick clothing, and strength, niether of which we had when she bit us. Her claws are real...

Here's a couple of nice shots of the neighbors cat. She's really sweet, and affectionate, but, when she has had enough petting, she bites hard to let you know. Had to take my girlfriend to the hospital, since she nailed a vein when she bit her. I've got to get a couple more shots of the...

Caught Jumpster doing her thing with the Nikon D50. She does a nice, four foot, easy takeoff lands easily, and walks around, with the goal to be knocking my hair conditioner, and soap to the floor. This is a minor, easy jump for her. GS

Thanks for the heads up on the 939's going away. I have noticed the processor price has actually gone UP for the 939 3000+, and the 3200+ can be cheaper. GS

No, it's a Sparkle or something like that. It was REPLACED by a 600watt seasonic in the server, and, the Seasonic is very quiet. gs

Well, make sure your seasonic comes with the 24 pin, since I made that assumption, and, I was wrong. I still have a 600 watt sitting in storage, that is noisy as hell, but, it is 24 pin. I ordered from Newegg, and assumed it would come with both. I was wrong. I'm out to lunch on this. What...

CT: The scanning speed was running in Photoshop 7, importing from a cannon 1220 scanner, through USB one, on my Asus266 1.4 ghz Athlon, excuse me. Doing the import, the software would take 100% of the processor. With the duals it was something like 10%, or less. What I have noticed with the...

Is there a 20 to 24 pin adapter? gs

Links? Prices? Not an abstract project. gs

IIRC: that'w whats in the other room, with a 3000, and two gigs of ram, and, an Antec 180 that girlfriend thinks is really cool, since the blue lights tell her it's on. For me, it does some functions, scanning in particular, half as fast as Dual xeon 2.8, with 2 gigs of ram, and scsi dual...

Hi guys, here we go again. Existing components are Seasonic 500 watt power supply, with 20 pin connector, not 24, Matrox P650, two sony 19's, Adaptec 29160N scsi card, connected to a variety of 15.3 or 4, Cheetahs, from 18 to 36 gig. All this is connected to a dying Asus A7M266, with 1.4 ghz...

DD No, it's not. Motherboard connections to monitors are a major physical problem, and, when the connection goes south, end motherboard, and major expense. Motherboard plus video card is a better solution... GS

I bought a Tripplite at Costco, and, I'm kicking myself for not picking up an extra APC 1050 when they had them. Still, I should have another one on the other No capacitators fried that I can see. Curses... gs

I've already googled it, and gone over it. Looks like an intresting setup. I kind of wonder about getting nailed for copyright violations, however, and, what really worries me, is, since this is interstate, it would be in FEDERAL court. GS

Mercutio I'm in a weird spot. Cable here is about twice what it is 20 miles away, and, as far as I'm concerned, forget it. The reason is, We can't get any stations around here. It would be wonderful to be able to get TV over the net. Bitteroot? GS

http://www.inklineglobal.com/adsales/edvertising/tvo_tvo_email.html?AFFID=CD367 Anyone know anything about this? gs

And how would I do that, and, are they replaceable? I've checked the ram, and, the machine fails to boot, or boots, and shuts down, with either module, when turned up to 1.4 ghz. Looks like I have a 1 ghz computer. I'm hoping for a little love, so I can build a new, cheap box, for school, and...

Went with Alcohol 120, but, so far, no success. Only played with it a little. gs

It sort of reminds me of when I tried overclocking, and, the machines been moved around a bit. Never know. Still, if it runs well at 1 ghz, it does seem unlikely. It does have a swiftech heatsink, and, they are heavy. The board is mounted sideways... gs

Also, the Seasonic had a blue wire, with connector, that plugged into the motherboard power out put, for a fan. Anyone know what it's for? Thanks GS

No. Examples? gs

Great. I'll give them a try tomorrow... Wonder if the heatsink coming loose could cause this? GS

Love polar bears. Amazing animals. The concept of being able to swim 40-50 miles, at 4 miles an hour, in 30 degree, or lower water, to get out and enjoy a tropical 50 below wind storm, and, have cubs that can handle it...Well, as a wannabe norcal surfer, I'd love to be that immune to the cold...

I guess I can pull each of the ram sticks, and test them, one at a time. Woe is me... :cry: GS

Hi I had the power go out about 6 times at work, and, finally my power supply gave up the ghost. I replaced it with a Seasonic, and now the computer works fine if I boot it at 100 mhz=1ghz, but, 133 mhz/= 1.4 ghz. Machine blue screens, and gives me something about NTkernal problems. What...

How can you tell if it has Starforce protection? Thanks GS

Anyone figured out how to copy the play disks, so you don't have to use the original? Both Kong and Tiger Woods require it, and, I would much rather be playing from my hard drive, or doing something else with the DVD player at the time... gs

OK: Found out the job I took puts me on the hot seat. The group that is causing us to be 'examined' is due to mexican students failing to maintain english and math goals, and, the group I teach are responsible. So, I came home, after refing a VARSITY basketball game, girls, and, I'm sitting...

That brings back memories... When I first moved back over here from Hawaii, in 1994-5, my mother had a 10 bedroom house in the Kensington area, Berkeley hills. Fantastic, huge yard. A stream ran out of the hills two properties over, and, we had a 8 foot high chain link fence, on both sides of...

Hi B WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU AROUND. :excl: :mrgrn: :wink: Feel free to message me... or email.. Greg

Well, Santa had a good year, since he got double paid this year, in December. So far, the good: Combo SATA/firewire/usb 2 card is working well. 7 Port USB with flashing lights is fun, too. Maxtor backup usb2 250 gig, while only 13 mb/sec, still is enough to backup, and play video. Memory...

Thanks My favorite game, and the only one I really played for any length of time, other then The Tex Murphy series, was Quake2, and mainly, Quake 3. I'll pick up Quake 4. Anyone played Peter Jacksons King Kong, 007 Nightfire, Tiger woods 2004, or MSFT Combat flight Simulater3, Battle for...

Well, between Novell, and the anti-virus stuff on my box at work, my 1.4 ghz athlon is running a bit long in the tooth. The saving grace has been the 36 gig 15.3 I boot off, but, I just don't have enough ram, 512 MB, for many of the tasks I ask it to do. This thread got me wondering if Tyan...
