Why I now use a mac for email, running 9.21. I believe one virus was ever written for the mac old os, iirc . s

What dual boards, and what processors would you use, if you are trying to do it on a budget? I really like the idea of starting with one processor, on a dual board, and, if you are having problems with speed, or processing, adding another. Any economy Athlon MP solutions? s

Processors in the 2.8 ghz or better area was what I had in mind. Thanks s

Hi I'm looking for a motherboard and processor to run Windows 2000 on. It's a value deal, and I'm wondering if I would be better off using a motherboard with a xeon processor, so I could use hyperthreading, or the P4, without it. I guess I might also consider a dual capable motherboard, use...

Gamecube. s

Anybody used the cable and software they are selling for the P-650 into a thread head machine? By the way I went with your suggestions, and now the G-550 is in the other machine, where it's incredible, and the G-650 is working great in my machine. s

Don't have a cam corder. Just taking old vcr tapes, right now, and want to enhance, and move to DVD. s

Hi I'm looking for gamebox games that require reading as top priority, rather then FPS. Any suggestions? s

FOOT TAPPING.... Still waiting for the eval of the software and card, and if it would work on a dual Xeon, 2.8 ghz machine with a gig of ram... s

"VideoSoap isn't THAT impressive and only works with ATI's MMC." :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: What's ATI's MMC :?: s

Picked up an ATI TV wonder Pro. Before I open the box, is this a good buy, at 50 bucks, and how's the software? What do they mean 125 channels, on any cable hookup? s

Do they make PCI video cards, that are compatible with Matrox P 650 cards? s

Just guessing... s

WOW!!! Do they work in laptops... s

IIRC: It's the current install of 2000. I remember it was sluggish when I 98 on it with Maxtor 5120 boot drive. The LM seems to have helped, and, I suspect whoever did the bios did an outstanding job. Anyone know who does the bios for Dell, and it maybe it's just good Intel chipsets, with good...

Dell, p2 400 mhz, 440 BX chipset motherboard, quantum LM 30 gig, about 30% used, Matrox 550 with 21 inch monitor, zip, old sound card, ISA, that works, where more exotic Philips did not, old CD rom/DVD hardware, removed, and ide zip drive. Weird, how fast it seems, over our 1.2 almost T one...

Thanks, yes. s

Sorry to ask the same question twice, but where is the thread, or link to those cool CD holders that you put in binders, for storing CD's? I can't find it, and I've been searching for awhile... s

What do you have to do to enhance, or clear up, old videos? Which of the video capture cards is the best? Don't have one... I do have an extra VCR that I could easily use for this project, including cable. s

Hi Is there a cheap way to take VHS tapes, convert them to DVD format, and burn them to DVD? What's involved? I've got a bunch of old fight tapes it would be nice to save in a smaller format... s

Options are: New battery for APC Backups 1000 from APC 120 dollars. Cheaper company battery, 60 dollars, but they don't answer their phone. Fry's had 550-500's for about 45 dollars. Can't make up my mind. Down to the last two... s

Do you really need a UPS? I bought an APC BackUPS 1000 when I lived in Berkeley. Late at night the lights dimmed on a regular basis, and brown outs were frequent. Here, about twice a year, the power goes down, but otherwise, no noticeable brown outs. APC offers a new battery for 120, with...

Well, Quake 3 Arena, the ones I've played, always have a ton of players. I can do better if I turn all the stuff off, and go to 640 or something, but it's so ugly, it's no fun :cry: s

Been trying to play quake 3 Arena. Kind of wondering if the Matrox P650 is just to slow to play online.??? David, are you in the house?? Thanks gs

Thanks Buck. Great program for me, and I'll leave the spyware on the girls computer, and delete the junk it sends...like I'm going to do right now. s

Yes, we live in the desert. It's cold most of the year, nice about two weeks, and then too hot for the summer. It was in the high 90's today, and this hot streak is really lasting. I get off work, want to work out, and remember that I almost died running 22 miles, in 105 degree heat here...

Well thanks. I connected the strap, and wondered if I really needed to... :o :eekers: s

Weatherbug is a computer program.

We had/have a store in Berkeley that supported old macs on Shattuck, and still charged outrageous prices for them. S

I don't identify with either group, since I find both equally stifling, and conservative. Niether deserves to be considered liberal, in the true sense of the word, and conservatives always consider me some kind of turn coat greeny. I'm sick of labels,... If you want to use a label...

Well, the wind just went onshore, and it's going to cool down, but not for awhile... s

Pretty bad when it's already 75 at 5 in the morning. Weatherbug is fun, since it gives us a chance to track the weather here. We've dogged the heat bullet all summer, but we got it big time this weekend. s

Exactly, Sechs. What has happened is the desire, or willingness to listen to new ideas has been destroyed. As Mubs links point out, when people are unable to converse, the result is religious like zealotry, much like what we have now. I really can't get that worked up over the entire thing...

My point exactly. "liberals" have become as set in their ways as the very conservatives they despised, and for the same reasons, unwilling to try new ideas after thiers failed. s

I guess the real problem is age, and the hardening of the brains' areteries in liberals, making them much like their fathers... All those 'liberals' are now 45-60, and have become just as the prior generation, holding on to their failed ideas with a death grip... s

HMMMM Merc, you sound much too much like the intolerant, facist-liberals that run this state, and have controlled congress, for way too long. If you disagree, they have no tolerance for a differing position, or, are not willing to listen to your position. The later by the way, is what...

WOW! I DEFRAG MY DISKS EVERY SUNDAY... :eekers: Funny how raptors became the bomb, but I thought it wasn't seek times, but it's cache an algorithim design for using the cache, that allowed it to score wo well in iPeak? Wonder if you could design a test suite for IPeak that would favor ATA...

Not according to storagereview.com... :mrgrn:

I use it on my mac for some reason. Don't ask why... :eekers: :?:

Oh, and I think for most people, laptops are WAY too expensive, and way to easy to steal, or destroy. Spill test: dump a glass of wine on the keyboard, and see if you can get it fixed, and how much it will cost... s

Well, I just can't see putting that kind of money into laptops. I've got two, one a Panasonic Cf-37 toughbook, I use most of the time, and the other is a Lombard, Mac. I paid two grand for both, with a bunch of add on's for the mac jacking the price up. They still work, and with current hard...

ROFL :excl: :wink: My cat is WAY faster then any ATA drive... I agree with Merc, and thank God you guys have saved me the money, and hassle of finding out what I know already: Seagate Scsi/sca ROCKS :excl: s PS A BIG thanks to all of you for helping me put together R2 D2...Splash in...

The installer for palm pilot is idiotic, or doesn't like XP. I've tried it with SP 2, and had it installed without, but another program fuxored the settings, FirstClassless, and I can't return them to normal, even after deleting them. Appears FC deletes the originals, installing it's on path...

People don't respect, or listen, unless it costs them money. The more money they pay, the harder they listen. Fdisk/nuke the bitch, and let them do the reinstall. s

Having a bit of a fit. How do you reasign drive letters? I don't have a C drive, don't ask me why. My system is installed on I drive. Anyway to change drive letters to C, without screwing up my system, and or reinstalling everything? My favorite address book, etc. won't install on I drive...
