I got a tat of "Eddie" on my right forearm hehe. Iron Maiden Rules

I know lol. Was playing along

kinda sucks too. Means I can't rag on AMD no more. Since I'd be insulting my own video card maker

Try setting the jumper to clear the cmos first then see what happens

do scsi drives give actual specs?

odb - got your money shaggy - wasn't me seems to be a recurring theme in my life

yep kinda messed up but they all do it

Installing Via drivers, adding any USB patches, or Raid Pci latency patches. That might not be 20 , but If I install something like a raid card on an Intel system it's gonna work 99% of the time. On an AMD system, you cant be quite sure if its gonna work at all. Intel's are cheaper then AMD. IF you take the PR rating vs clockspeed and the AMD fan into consideration intels are cheaper. I use mine for gaming and video editing

I agree, and I can make any AMD machine work great. It's thef act that there are 20 more steps to do so and AMD systems have issues that Intel just doesn't. I was the Domain Admin in Korea, we had 650 users. Not one AMD machine. At Encompass we had 300 users and not one AMD machine. Now 2 of the guys on our team were running AMD at home. They both said they didn't want to buy AMD machines for the office. The reason.....they wanted to plug in the machines and have them work.

never been to one. I hear the seattle playhouse has a good one coming up tho. Maybe I'll check it out. Brush up on my latin in the meantime

Seeing a bunch of teenage girls jumping up and down is tragic? So it cost him his soul Seems like a fair deal to me

One question. Do either of you support users in an Enterprise solution? That's where the AMD vs INtel thing come into play. I went back to INtel one day while working on a DELL and realizing that I have never had a problem with an Intel based System. It simply works or it doesn't. No patches, tweaks , bioses, artic silver needed. I'm a good tech, and most of my fellow workers, and network guys won't touch an AMD system at work or at home. Work 60 hours a week on machines to come home to have to install a USB filter patch to get your stinking mouse working doesn't fly with me. Course those of you not in computer field may have the patience , considering your not doing it all day

poetic justice

Same here. I was my last companys' "AMD" guy too. THe only one that would fix AMD systems. Just got tired of it.

I used to make the same argument. Via does not make the same quality chipset as Intel. They just don't. Sure you can get it to work......eventually with srivers, patches, bios updates, more patches. Get tired of that after a while

yeah he was short and stout. Not your typical slim guitarist. I got to see them twice after that tho, and they kicked ***. Phil is a phreaking nut. One of the few people in the world that scare me hehe

Just got a fat raise at Ecompass NW, then quit to be a stay at home dad. Wife Is in the Army

Finally got DSL installed, 6 months isnt bad eh? And Kazaa lite works really well .

Speking of worst chipsets ever. Anyone ever Seen A PCCCHIPS board. What a POS. I quit a job cause we cause we sold them , and Cyrix chips, lol.

Intels are much easier to install. Especially the heatsinks, tho I will concede AMD makes a good chip. SIS or NVIDIA might be AMD's savior

Not to mention the AMD platform sucks. Get rid Of VIA for starts

NAV corporate is very unobtrusive. Tho the desktop version is a bit overbearing at times, me thinks its still the best

I actually know certain users from thier IP's, cause they are constantly getting viruses. THe same ones over and over. We had to ban web based emails on some machines. I had one department almost completely down with Sircam cause someone decided to share a funny email. We took care of that tho. With NAV we set it to delete any files infected instead of repairing them. If it infects a Windows system file, or let me say the right one, then the OS won't boot. Then they cannot do any more damgage. It's kinda funny actually

I have a tat on my right shoulder with the "Far beyond Driven" cover on it. I saw Kiss, with Alice IN chains. White zombie and Pantera had played the night before and were at the show. I met Dimebag and was like "DUDE" and almost ripped my shirt off trying to show off my tat. He shook my hand and I was in awe.

weird question. anyone got the first game? i have never played it
