How can you hook up a real amp amd speakers to your computer? Please explain. gs

Splash: You were right. Even though it doesn't have the 128 or 256 mb of vram I was after, the P650 sure is one heck of a video card. It's so clear, it's scary, and, it's fast enough to run most anything I can throw at it. Been watching DVD's and it's a definite step up from the G550, speed...

OK: If I hook up two computers by firewire cable, and cards, can one see the other? If so, does it just see the disks? Thanks gs

I like the Klipsch 4 speakers plus a sub. They were 250 new. Now you might be able to find a cheaper set some where, if you look. s

I just did a fast install of 2000, thanks to a legal program, Dissomaster, requiring an old version disk that we didn't have. We had the newer version, but that wouldn't work to stop the loop. Anyway, the point is, I ended up with Real Player and some other crappy programs I never...

Hi I've had good luck with a couple tweaks in XP that I used in 2000. With sufficent ram, DisablePagingExecutive, value 1, and LargeSystemCache value 1, along with clear pagefileAtShutdown at 1, seem to noticeably improve preformance on my XP machine. The same settings, with 384 mb of ram on...

Well, so far things are going pretty well. The Epson is about 4-5 times faster then the Canon scanner. It doesn't give me much time to type stuff. I just got done burning two CDS, scanning papers as fast as I can, Trying to watch the net, and do email. The highest the processors went was...

Well, I just looked at two empty PCI-x slots when installing my last cheetah. I guess I could move my G550 to Travel Whore's machine, and put the PCI-X card in place. I'm sold on the Matrox multi screen gaming, and abilities. I'm must wondering if 700 bucks is a bit much for a card, that in...

Thank you. s

Well, glad to hear that's your recommendation, Splash. I decided on this one: http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/consumer/consDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid=35836301 Costco carried it for about 170 bucks, and with tax, and shipping, it's 200 dollars. Anandtech did a test on the 3200, and...

The only problem with the database stuff is it's missing the 650 and 750, so comparing them to the PWHATEVER :wink: is king of hard. PARHELIA, PARHELIAPARHELIAPARHELIAPARHELIAPARHELIAPARHELIAPARHELIAPAR HELIAPARHELIAPARHELIAPARHELIAPARHELIAPARHELIAPARHELIAPARHELI...

Splash: If they are doing pro-editing, will their new cards be targeted at that market, and how would that differ from the current cards? I just got done reading a real good review of the card, http://www.nvnews.net/reviews/matrox_parhelia/index.shtml The guy did a great job of really going...

Mercutio: I just got the X15 with the click replaced by Seagate. The reinstall wasn't due to the java stuff, it was due to installing the last of 4 drives, so I have my boot raid back in place. The other computer I decided to install 98se on, and, I did manage to delete the MBR ftom the disk...

Why don't the Matrox Parahelia or the 750 go down in price? s

Gary suggested that video cards may become a thing of the past. Get around this power, and bandwidth problem by using 64 bit data paths, straight to and from the cpu. Or, better yet, integrate the GPU with the cpu. Hook your gpu to your processor like ram is currently linked using the G5...

I'm real intrested :roll: I've got a bunch of Jazz and zips I can't give away. s

Actually, I have an external pci box I could give it 7 slots, and it's own power supply. :mrgrn:

Well, it's nice to know that I can now use that extra 550Watt powersupply for my video card :roll: :roll: :excl: s

All I've got avaliable are two PCI-X slots. Not enough bandwidth?? :wink:

JoJo: It sure does make it easier. My Cannon scanner is going out. The connection on the back of the scanner is really flimsy. Think Jumpster(our cat) jumping off it, or hitting the wires has done it in. NOT a happy camper about that part. I've been looking at scanners this morning, and the...

Well, I'm doing the same Photoshop work, with the same scanner and software that used to eat my processor, use it 100%, freezing 2000 from doing anything else, on my Xeon Dual 2.8. It's doing it way faster, with rarely over 10% processor usage, but it is hitting the pagefile big time, like 400...

Hmmm. To be accurate, I think it's 2700 pounds of HE with a range of 20 miles. I guess they have a little spotter plane they use. In the middle east, they would see the spotter plane, and start waving white flags. Guess going to Allah via 16" high explosive rounds wasn't what they have in...

oH, MY GOD! It just dawned on me that about:blank is a pos msft website. I want the Missouri targeted at MSFT, asap... s

The only reason I can type this is another computer on the network is not requiring reinstalling XP to get rid of a f....g adware bug. The funny part is both Spybot and adware see this one, delete it,and it still steals my default homepage... s

NOT FUNNY :excl: The only solution I've found is reinstalling XP, and, I'm currently comparing the merits of a 450 Nitro Express, No 2 2150 with 480 grains, and 375 H&H, while contemplating reinstalling windows. I'll let you connect the dots... s

Help? s

Well, I got the 4th Cheetah back from Seagate, and it's a Rev 3, same as the others. Time to Raid 0 all four, but, I think I'll wait until Monday, and throw the IDE/sca into the box, at the same time. I've been crippled with only a 90 mb/sec raid. Hope to get back to the 110 or better range. s

Boy, after reading that press release, I'm ready to dump Supermicro, get rid of Xeons, and go Nvidia. :stpd: :roll: s

Very nice!!

Please don't take this to email. I'm really enjoying this, and I love the information you are all presenting. s

That guys review certainly appears to make it a great item. I've always liked Nikons, and ease of use is a major part of it, something I don't find in the Canon Rebel I own. s

You guys are great. Learned quite a bit from that article on the evolution of digital cameras, and the same things that have been Nikon's strength still are. Pentax has NEVER, at least to my way of thinking, been a second level company. My experience was they made smaller, usually, and just...

Are you doing this in Monterey, or SF? s

Ahh, the power of the t...(deleted due to family content forum). :mrgrn: s Women speak 7000 words a day average. Men 2000. The above illustrates the effectiveness of the mouth in these situations. It would have taken a man at least 3 times as long to convince the girl to move in...

Pradeep: I was using the 1200 dpi to test the rig. I like the idea of the auto feeder. Any suggestions, that don't cost a fortune? I use 150-300 dpi, and I'm scanning in my kids work, to keep digital record of my progress with them. GS

What I remember of Leica is they were in the Zeiss, Hasselblad, range, and cost, well above anything Nikon put out, and, the quality was far above Nikon, as well. Still the case? s

Leica? Poor optics, right? :wink: s

blakewry: My concern is more the paricular machine, with the Parahelia. The card has had some driver problems, and I had a no go install on 2000 on my Athlon box. I suspect it was PEBCAKE, but I'm not THAT bad at part installations. Worked fine on my Xeon machine, but that was from a clean...

LM: Only thing about canon stuff is it seems cheaply constructed, or designed to fail, sort of. I have a Canon Rebel, and it's fine, but it was about 300 dollars, WITH a very nice zoom lense. Currently I'm working on a Canon N1220U scanner. The connector on the back is pretty weak, and all...

update on Photoshop on this rig I'm a bit baffled on this. On my asus 266-7m mobo with Athlon 1.4 ghz processor, Photoshop, and Cannon ScanGear CS-U would take my entire processor, freezing my machine. On this dual 2.8 ghz, I can scan at 1200 dpi, and never go over 15% processor usage, and...

LM: When did the D70 come out, and between the D70 and D 100 which would you take, and why? Value is a big deal to me. I was also the founder and president of my high school photography club, so I know a bit about cameras, albeit not very much about current high end digitals. s

"HALF" Lawyers love this idea. Gay marriages. That means I get half their income, in fees...Doubles the market. On the otherhand, I go nuts when the subject comes up. s

I don't buy that shit. I've had fish with swim bladder problems live for better then a year. I've had deformed fish live a long, and healthy life, upside down. I NEVER put a fish down. They may recover, they may not. Let nature run it's course. I deal with kids on a daily basis that some...

No, but they would have been in San Francisco... :wink: gs

WHY did I think this thread was about gay marriages in San Francisco? :roll: :mrgrn: s

Storage solution? sca/ide or sca/scsi? Mirror? Hi Well, I'm at the point where the amount of data in pics and scans is getting rather large. I scanned a bit of school work, and it was 708 mb. That's in one day of scanning. I'm thinking that two Diamond Max Plus 9's, at 160 gig, in a mirror...

I thought this thread was about another Starwars movie :cry: gs

Really the best way to go is get an SCA/scsi hotswap setup for around 200 dollars. 80 pin scsi drives are all over the place, fast and cheap. s

Problem is the initial startup, isn't it? s
