    Mini-review: Sapphire Radeon 9000 VIVO

    Merc, does this translate into any worries for the two cards I just purchased? They will only be used for nice business systems - you know, AMD XP 2100+ and up.

    By the way, the non-Sapphire one is the cheaper card.

    Mini-review: Sapphire Radeon 9000 VIVO

    blakerboy, I usually sell MSI GeForce cards. I haven't had a failure yet, and they work well with the KT266A and KT400 boards that I use (usually those are Soltek and Gigabyte). But, I would like to try something from ATI. I've used a couple Radeon 7000 cards, but they're not very special (as...

    What would be better for a business system (maybe a minor game like AOE) in the ATI arena: Radeon 9000 64MB DDR Sapphire Radeon 9100 64MB DDR How would either of these two cards compare with a GeForce4 MX440-T 64MB DDR Memory? The pricing structure for me is very similar between the two...

    F@H: Moving Cliptin Up the Ranks

    Alas, in the Northern hemisphere, summer will be coming soon, and the Bartenders crunching power will slow down. But cheerfully, there are still a few months left of reasonable weather. I think Tea and the Bartender should just trade off crunching for the same ID.

    Biggest nVidia scam yet

    I find it amazing at the different stories we report on this forum, I suppose that is the beauty of this place. The problem that Tannin explained with ATI I just had with nVidia. It was a Ti4600 and Windows XP installation. I removed the nVidia card, put in a ATI Rage Pro temporarily, went...

    WD400JB Just Died

    I just had a customer come in with a dead WD800JB - no spin. His first response was, I don't want another Western Digital. Indeed. He was also concerned with hard disk drives in general, so I sold him two SP8004H and a Promise FastTrak TX2 card; I created a RAID 1, and away he went. (Well, it...

    Yes, SJC is a nice place to live, and thank you for the compliments about my website. Ortega Hwy. has seen plenty of automobile accidents and more then its fair share of weird happenings.

    Any thoughts on this server?

    It's a good deal, but low on the memory side. Hook that machine up to your network, somewhere in a cool, dark corner, and just VNC to the machine. It would make a nice little dev server (after more memory is installed).

    From what I can see here, this toothbrush is powered by a USB connection. If anyone can read the site, it would be funny to see what it says about this device.

    What is a good Basic Video Card

    My mistake gentlemen. The ATI Xpert 2000 uses the Rage 128-bit engine and is thus not a Pro. However, the Xpert 98 uses the Rage XL engine (even though it is only 64-bit) which puts it in the Pro family. Here is a quick list from ATI: RAGE 128 PRO: ALL IN WONDER128 PRO RAGE 128: ALL IN...

    What is a good Basic Video Card

    In order to get below 50.00 AUD, I'd have to go with the ATI Xpert 98 with 8MB of memory. In the 50.00 AUD to 60.00 AUD range, I could sell the ATI Xpert 2000 with 32MB of memory and a 128-bit data width. The ATI 7000 with 32MB of memory and TV Out would be a few dollars more.

    What seems to be the problem with statsman.org? They've been down for a while. Are they going behind the scenes and changing everybody's scores around?

    How many of these things can you remember?

    Twenty is certainly young, as is 30 and maybe even 40. Well, okay, maybe 40 isn't exactly young-young, but it sure isn't old by any means. Don't forget we have Tea, she is only 3 (if my memory is working properly).
