Also, thes enew dets are for the FX series - so if you have an older card, you do not really have to use the newest - that is if you could not have gotten them to work.

well, just read that reviuew - it is nice, but it is a shame WD did not use SATA on their drive. but with my past maxtor drives dying on me,m i have yet to trust another one. Basically right now WD has me on their side - but if anyone of my 3 120g WD 1 with 8mb the other 2 with 2mmb just die, without some type of dieing down period or warning, then i may need to find another company!..lol

AHH yes - u got an AC3 encoded one - hope they work - there are a few AC3 codecs out there that fubar your system - as in any player crashes when you try to watch a media file like avi - i had that issue!

got to lvoe April fools - something people will do.

Yepper - Alec has it for bitmaps use C:\WINDOWS for Jpegs Use C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper

media player / powerdvd / winamp - will all use video overlay - make sure in your nvidia options you turn on video overlay (under advance options some where- would look, but benching out my rig right now) - i use that exact setup on my system 19" as main - watch a movie - it shows on the main display - but i can minimize it, and once the movie plays it comes out full screen on my tv.

haha i wish i had the patience to type as much as you..lol - since i got a high end rig with all the overclocking and such i am doing - once the SATA go i will use the one SATA i got on my BH7 for that, and not use any other drives!

mm, may just have to settle for 1280 x 1024 dualies

hey all. yeah well, brain fart! i got 4 computers on a network using a simple hub. 1 - server - using ICS to share inet out to hub where other comps connect. all the computer can connect to the internet fine. but i can not browse the network or see any comps. When i hit view network computers - i get the error that i don't got permission to use the resources on the workgroup MSHOME (using it as defualt) but - i can see the computer if i type in \\computer\ that works, but i can not browse?

^^^^ totally! i agree - i say thanks to everyone as everyone contributed in some way - but bggest to DS3Circuit! - which is always great as i learned new things - i had not clue about this master broweser stuff as this has never been a problem before in the 5 or more years i have been messin with comps.

very treu Alec, once again great response. i did not read in detail the review - i was more going by past reviews and price of drives SATA and ATA i have seen - as i just bought 2 120g WD for a server. I don't think many people do have 40g online of installed program - i know i hit close to 20g area and will likely go further with my overclocked gaming rig as i am installing most every game i love to play! but to use the 36g as your C drive - i am sure would reveal a great increase in over all system speed. i mentioned price as it is a concern for me and for good performance, you do not always need to empty your wallet - as for the "everyday" or somewhat more advance user even - i do not think the perfomance gain would be noticable to the point of shelling out a small fortune. To me i think SATA is still very infant and give it a few months, and it will be ALL that i will buy

if by unreal tournament 2 he means 2003 - then yes it is multiplayer unreal2 is like the one he is thinking about - the length is short - i finsihed it in about 8 hours on and off one night after first installation. Unreal tournament 2 - is full multiplayer and does have the regular levels that u go through for like deathmatch and such on oyur own., i would say get Tourney 2 - more to it and it is multuplayer Unreal2 -- is only single player.

thing is though he does have alot of copyright issue and such and warning on the pages, so perhaps better to just read it in pdf..lol

www.bootdisk.com had to do this recently for my self to do a bios update from cd i hate foppies..lol

it is ALWAYS less problematic to do a fresh install instead of upgrading which will essentially leave you with 2 O/S on your system. But, and upgrade maybe needed if you do not have all of your software on cd for installation. if you could, and are not sure - grab a second HD - put XP on it and see if all your hardware software works, if so, make the permanent switch over!

May have to settle for dual 18" then @ 1280. it seems u can not get a 1600 x 1200 LCD with out it being 20" or higher and cost a pretty penny.

LOL - ^^^^^ flame you, not worth it - since u really provide not backing or facts and simply spouted out what a "typical arrogant" american would, frankly to me it is people like your self that make so many people not like many americans. P.S - one of the greatest known civilizations would more be along the lines of the egyptians or romans - as they did more for this world and it's begining then the US or any other country could ever imagine. And no worries jwl812 - i did not take any offence to anything here, i like the reads and what has been said - it has all been good - upto that post above mine, i guess the children have found this thread now.

OUCH! $1k! - i was thinking dual 18" or something for about $1300, but at least i know they exist! thnx m8.

NUFF SAID!! :x and i assume you think we all live in igloo's as well?..lol this thread was started by me, whom is British / Canadian and i do not think this thread should be locked as it was intended as a joke - hence the show that made this "joke" up. and is stricking up some conversation that can be very insteresting. Also, as for the olmypic medals - as was said - look at the diff. between population ratio. but other wise nice points - this is one of those arguments that can go on and on and on with either side throwing in fact after fact. On a side note i agree with the above - i do not hate american people - it is the Government that is in office that i do not like and frankly i hate generalizations for anything.

if it is Xvid u just need the Xvid codecs, not some special QIX codec. it can then be played with media player, or powerdvd or radlight or what ever. http://www.xvid.org/ http://www.divx-digest.com/software/xvid.html http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=Xvid+codec

For over clocking - Rivatuner is better

are you over clocking your video card - sounds like "relics" if not - could be your card just does not suport hardware rendering or what ever it is.
