Hmmm. The picture is pretty good. In fact it's brilliant and clear. Do you really think it would be noticeable to upgrade the video Card? It's a Dell version of a TNT with 16mb of ram. Is there anything wrong with running at 75% CPU? I'm using MGI Soft DVD Max by the way. I could install...

Hmmm. Mercutio, it's using 75% of the cpu, and I just finished watching Star Wars attack of the Clones. The graphics quality is pretty incredible. If you think the ISA is a bad idea, I could install a Creative Blaster pci based card. It's just that compatibility wise, I've found the older...

Yes. One of the winlots, PeterB, now a moderator, must be somewhere up there by now. I think they are somehow tied in, business wise, to ars. Never asked, but it seems to be a worldwide group, pretty much windows developers. Guy knows his stuff, but he whined his way into being a moderator...

Well, it seems I've been promised again. The only ide channel avaliable sucks. It crashes everytime I try and update the drivers. I'm going to see if it's something to do with the VIA updates for the motherboard, but I really just think it's a bad chip on the mobo. For some reason I thought...

I kind of thought so. At 100% constantly,that does seem stressful. Getting weird sound now on star wars on the other machine... Have to restart and check the mobo settings... s

OK: Went out and bought a cool little switch that allows you to change computers, but use the same mouse, keyboard and monitor, and there is little, or not noticeable, video distortion. Have had a DVD player laying around for about a year, and it blue screened the last time I used it with my...

Most of this came out of ARS. This guy, Jeremy Reimer, Lord Baldrick, did something like 6000 posts, arguing with Chris Cox. He knew just enough to create an argument, but really didn't know what the hell he was talking about. His goal was to see how long he could engage the guy, and perhaps...

Jake: Do you like your Raptors, and how's that new system? s

Something I put together after hanging around ARS for awhile: "First lesson in trolling: You didn't provide a link. 2nd: Prove it 3rd personal insult 4th attack spelling and grammar, 5th use above so you don't have to deal with any valid issues raised. 6th obscenity 7th Complain...

Current battle is the parks, like everything in africa, don't have any money, all stolen by their "governments". Elephants seem very productive, and they are eating Kruger Park up. Problem is they either need more park, or fewer elephants. Some would like to see hunting feeds for culling the...

Wow :excl: Great information. Thanks gs :wink:

I'll say. I'm not sure if it stuck, or the 200 pounds of cat on the window kept it from going up. So much for the dumb animal idea. Vindictive? You bet :excl: My little cat has cut me up, in about 1/4 second, twice. The first was when I turned on the blow dryer, to dry her off after she...

I got my first Teddy bear at 27. I get my first cat at 39 :wink: . I've had a deprived childhood... s

Yuck :excl: :excl: The cat just caught a large moth, and is playing with it like it was a live mouse. Letting it go, catching it again, etc. :puke-r: Now she ate it.... s

Yes. The electrical problem is called an onboard computer... s :jumpin: :tounge:

It's a weird time. I've always wanted to setup a 64bit/33/66/mhz bus board. Problem was at the time I wanted to do it, it was WAY too expensive. Other problem is the raid card I bought is 32 bit/33mhz, not the 64 bit, backwards compatible that I thought I had spent 700 bucks on. I'm really...

This may sound really weird, but I just put in an adaptec 2940, with 4 drives on it, external, and my system seems snappier at start up then before. Everytime I've connected the raid box, I've been amazed at how fast my first couple programs open, and function. That said, I do do regular mat...

I used their tests as a a mild indicator of a general performance for drives. My own experience showed many other factors lead to a persons ability to notice performance... GS

Splash: Did you get originate this technique? I think they stole it from you in the move Armeggedon, when the russian beats on the space shuttle to get it started... :wink: :wink: s

ROFL!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: s

With Eugene and David, any ide drive misinformation is inconsequential. Seriously, isn't the raptor a huge jump in seek time for ide? I don't care about no stinking sustained transfer rates... :wink: gs

SPLASH :excl: :excl: You rule! This time it formatted, and I'm verifying it now, which it would not do earlier. You saved a Cheetah!!! PETA loves you!! s :lol: :mrgrn:

:?: :?: How do you do this? I thought the utility did this on boot auto? Don't have an UW terminator. Always used the drives as the terminator. No problems in the past doing this... GD might have them on special at this point... s

OK: Pulled the case open, made it scsi 0, since it didn't work at 6, connected on the internal channel, with one of those nice, shiny, GD UW cables, jumped it to terminate on, and we are trying a reformat. It's taking a long time, but the good news is, it hasn't quit yet. Al Capone is pissed...

Gary: Heather farms is going east, out of town, sort of over a small hill, and near a large hospital, John Muir. gs

How did that happen?

I just posted about a few teenagers threatening me, and then going the other way, and destroying park property. I try and get along, more or less, with everybody, even at the ghetto school I was teaching at. Different groups have different means of survival, and, to tell the truth, at our...

Can't see the icons at 1200 have to go to 1154. gs

In other words, Xaero owns me :boom: :bibber: :monky:

You got me thinking. With reading glasses, 1280 x 1024 is pretty cool. In quake 3, it's real clear, and fast enough to enjoy, though I'm at the end of the game, and the 3d guy keeps kicking my ass... s Plenty of real estate to work with, too.

OK: Al Capone's servant will read more carefully. I'll give a try formatting it on it's own, terminated, in this case, LVD cable, and see what happens. Or, just terminate the drive, and see if it works on a GD UW cable. I've got a bunch of cables around, I'll hang one off the internal...

NO. I tried formatting about 4 times, using different scsi id's,and the bios in the card wouldn't find the drive in one utility, and, gave warning signs. I still tried to reformat, as you indicated, but everytime I had an error, can't complete sort of message. With the indicator light, that...

We've saved a goose or two, along with my mama mallard. What happens is guys go fishing, either with snags, for the large fish in the pond, or for catching geese. The hooks get caught on em, and tie up their wings. We've grabbed a couple, and took the lines off, one person holding the...

Pretty close. Heather Farms Park. s

No, it doesn't respond to formatting, and, it doesn't show up as a disk in 2000, unlike the 3 other cheetahs, and a Barracuda. gs

Walnut Creek local park. gs

You didn't goof. I tried to resize them last night, and I was falling a sleep as I did it. NOT YOUR MISTAKE. Sorry, and thanks for the help. s

Picture A has White Goose with hurt wing, and two canadian geese. They are very nice, and, as a general rule, are always very round and large. Picture B features MotherGoose, in grey, and one of the 3 white geese. MotherGoose is very nice, and usually has her tummy just about dragging on the...

800 to 1024, or even 1154 once in awhile. Are the flat panels stuck at one resolution? s

Someone once told me that you really should pick one or the other. I'm sort of stuck in between. I like the mac g3, and, I really like the Lombard. It's by far the better laptop. The other is a Panasonic running 98 the best, and 2000 if you want to be frustrated(driver for touch pad is...

Clocker: One, I don't really know how. Two, I meant a server, and backup storage for the home network we have here. My girlfriend NEVER backs anything up, except to floppies. I don't know if I want a box running 24/7 to add to my already hefty electric bill... But, thanks, it's an excellent...

Thanks 500 bucks is to much for me right now, at least for this project. Maybe a better switching box is the answer. Noticeable difference after taking the box out, and going direct to the monitor. I so hate having good quality 2d cards, and having the box muck up the video quality. gs

Yes, then move production offshore. I like the new attempt at legislation to require US workers, and US, or state factories. Massachusetts, or something like that, is trying to pass a law like that. gs

How do I influence Congress to let in about 400,000 workers from other countries, to take away jobs from Tea? s :evil:

Thanks Bill. Check email, soon. gs

I kind of was afraid that's still the case from looking at Costco. I've been looking at 21 inch Hitachis, and with ebay prices, that maybe the way to go. Only problem is I can't find any bay area sellers... s

Hi I'm looking for a cheap monitor or something like a cheap LCD really, that still uses the standard output from video cards, for a pc. Any ideas? gs
