Mr.Guvernment

format fixed it - i must have disabled - or added something @ some point.

2 slots for a video card! http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.html?i=1749&p=6

just from toms hardware: from http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.html?i=1749&p=3

your video card myabe can not go that high?? i know some det i had with my g4 and my 19' sony trintron - i could go 1600 x 1200 - 75mhz - but oher drives, i could only get 60mhz, or i could only do a 1360 x 768 max res with 60mhz. try the nvidia refresh rate fix? - get new dets?

U can change your IDE driver in your bios to "manual" this wil save the bios from looking for the drives and it knows they are there so it skips that part at least.

and MS beta is free =- i just got on myself and am using windows.net RC2. is free - so why not sign up - better then gettting some alter copy of kaazaa or something also - longhorn - is it even in beta stages yet?

never heard of the program "cheers" is it new?

Quote: The religious cant that will send American troops into battle is perhaps the most sickening aspect of this surreal war-to-be. Bush has an arm-lock on God. And God has very particular political opinions. God appointed America to save the world in any way that suits America. God appointed Israel to be the nexus of America’s Middle Eastern policy, and anyone who wants to mess with that idea is a) anti-Semitic, anti-American, c) with the enemy, and d) a terrorist. God also has pretty scary connections. In America, where all men are equal in His sight, if not in one another’s, the Bush family numbers one President, one ex-President, one ex-head of the CIA, the Governor of Florida and the ex-Governor of Texas. yeah. is all about god - god said this, god said that! blah blah blah! - i love how they bring religion into it to make all seem right! - dam politicians.

Quote: What are your guys opinions on XP vs 2000? I have used XP Pro for a couple months now. At first I was impressed, but I find myself wanting to go back to Windows 2000 Pro, where there is not as much overhead, like with the skinned GUI and other background services. Do you guys think this is a good idea? I do play lots of games, but XP doesn't seem to have a huge advantage in performance over 2000. Well anyway, thanks for the input. i did some Xp services tweaks. i use the old win2k interface and when Xp starts up, i am only suing 68.9mb of memory, as opposed to the 100mb it usually takes, so u can tweak it, but i would stick with Xp as it seems alot more stable then 2k. Quote: My vote goes towards the more stable Win2k Pro. As far as i'm concerned XP Pro is just a souped up Windows ME. that is the FARTHEST!!! from the truth my friend..lol So far! from it- were these older systems? perhaps some hardware not compatible? i was using since it came out - then one day i went bck to win 2k - within 1 hour i had 7 b.s.o.d's - from that day one i would never go back to win2k. Xp is Win2k - with a pretty interface and more stability.

Here is on, but i know there is a better one out there, i had it before! but can't find it now! http://www.extremely-sharp.com/es/es_cancer_slashers.html Or you can fight aids: http://www.fightaidsathome.com/ or a site with a few, well 3 of them. http://www.webtribe.net/~cyberpunk/dc.htm

I have had a Samsung 19' and 17' - CRT's - both great. i also have had the viewsonic 17" E70 - okay monitor - kind of "dull" get anything with a dpi of .27 or lower if you can - also check out what the max res / refresh rate is as well.

mmm i woudl think some where in the /temp folder and it also leaves a script or something so that when windows is booting up, it reads it and tells it to overrite files before they are put into use. but this is just an assumtion.

English?

try a 3*. detonator or a 28.*. What resolutions are yuo running the game @?

i don't think this would be just 1 file, or 1 folder, but multiple files pending on what program you install.

Samsung - GREAT monitors!

Not all of these sources may be reliable, - but hey - u never know! - but with a name like "THE INQUIRER" - hard to trust that as a source. ATI's R350, RV350 taped out already? Nvidia may have missed the boat http://www.inquirerinside.com/?article=6661 By Jansen Ng: Tuesday 10 December 2002, 16:08 THE INQUIRER has received several tips recently regarding ATI's R350 and RV350. The first reiterates that ATI's R350 is being built on a 0.15 micron process. ATI's RV350 mainstream part is however being built on a 0.13 micron process. What is new is that both the R350 and the RV350 have already taped out with their production partner TSMC, which did not do quite as good a job with their friend Nvidia. The Nvidia NV30 super graphics VPU was planned to be launched using TSMC's 130nm copper and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) low k dielectric process using Applied Materials' CVD low k Black Diamond product to wipe the floor with ATI. That would have been the first chip tape out for volume production using the most advanced foundry process currently available. ATI has been more conservative in its process selection by relying on TSMC's proven 0.15 micron copper process without a low k dielectric. Nvidia's GeForce FX using the NV30 chipis expected to be available to consumers in February, missing the Christmas boat. Many people have been snapping up Radeon 9700s and Radeon 9500s because they are widely available, and the best performing products to boot. ATI's taping out means that those people who were waiting until February for NV30 might as well give up and buy Radeons now for little Timmy, or else wait a little bit into February and buy a Radeon 9900 Pro.

GeForce FX Benchmarks Revealed! (FROM 3DRAGE) - 3:14 pm EST - MrB http://www.maximumpc.com/features/feature_2003-01-03.html Maximum PC has published one of the first benchmarks of the GF FX. The benchmarks were done on a prototype Alienware system on a beta board GF FX with unpolished drivers. Here are the results of the test that nvidia allowed them to take: GeForce FX Quake3 Demo001, 1600x1200 2xAA: 209fps UT 2003 Asbestos, 1600x1200 2xAA: 140fps 3DMark Game4, 1600x1200 2xAA: 41fps Radeon 9700 Pro Quake3 Demo001, 1600x1200 2xAA: 147fps UT 2003 Asbestos, 1600x1200 2xAA: 119fps 3DMark Game4, 1600x1200 2xAA: 45fps "It would be silly to extrapolate fine details about the card’s performance from such a small benchmark sample. It would also be unfair, considering the un-optimized condition of the drivers. But we can make some broad guesses about the strengths and weaknesses of nVidia’s new technology. In Quake III running at 1600x1200, 32-bit color and 2x anti-aliasing, the GeForce FX is about 40 percent faster than the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro at the same settings. The GeForce is almost 20 percent faster than the 9700 Pro in the Unreal Tournament 2003 Asbestos fly-by demo at these same settings. However, in the 3DMark 2001:SE Game 4 benchmark at these settings, the Radeon 9700 is about 10 percent faster than the GeForce FX. What does this suggest? That the GeForce FX is very fast -- particularly when memory bandwidth isn’t an issue. Remember that the GeForce FX’s 128-bit memory bus runs at 500MHz, but has a maximum bandwidth of just 16GB/sec. Meanwhile, the Radeon 9700’s 256-bit memory interface accommodates 19.8GB/sec, even though it runs at just 325MHz. "[/list:u]

my head hurts!!!

^^^^...lol some people just don't got the luxury of getting new O/S's (sign up for ms beta testing - i just got .net rc2 and love it!)

well, i use good old cd-r and now dvd-r's Outlook - takes seconds to export rules and mail - as it has an export wizard i have formated and such so often i never forget anything now. i don't know any good software, sorry.

Currently that is all we have , is everyone access on shares as so often we simple share a drive. What the other guy i work with decided was to give our landlord a line inot our cable so he can have internet - i did not approve of it, nor was i even asked so not happy about it. So, we got a ton of shares and i am thining security, since we work from home, but he obviously is not. Since we both know the passwords for main comps, on shares should i simply put in only admin access on folders?

Quote: Although I am not an AMD fan, I would take a look at the Nforce2 boards, Mr. Guvernment... I know Asus has some microatx boards with the Nforce2 chipset. thing is i don't want to buy a new cpu - be a waste of my 1.8 i already got. otherwise i likely would take a look.

I had the issue once i installed G6 ftp server and would copy files from one HD to another, or it would just do it if i tried to FXP to the ftp.

hey i did not install any of the exatra's yet, dhcp / dns/ nothing simply put in my domain - same as on my other computer, and set ti to dhcp. i set up the file server, that is it, but i shall go back and double chgeck. Also, shall check out the winbeta groups, forgot about them update - Yes i cna ping the other 6 computers on our network Also, under the network, it show the domain named - COSTA (as in costa rica) it is once i try to enter there i get the error
