    POLL: do you actually believe it this time?

    The Dell XPS 400 came with a pos, but silent, 200 Watt power supply. That quickly quelled all my upgrade plans for it. I've had a compaq donated to me, and, it came with a stoneage hard drive, and never ran reliably. Time to hit the sack. gs

    Time for an Upgrade

    Typo: Should have been Nvidia 3, not 4. Even though it was supposed to be XP64 compatible, I had problems, and, I think, the ATI 700XL driver wasn't very good, either. I wonder if XP has 64 bit drivers for my HP 4000N? GS

    Help w/ high-end PSU

    If you look at the reviews, the Seasonics are in a league of their own as far as consistent energy supply. They are also very quiet, and very expensive, if not bought on fire sale. Somewhere around here, I did a real indepth research on these things, and found out the others aren't even close. GS

    Older Video card?

    Well, I can say on CRT's that the matrox P550, and P650 are simply stunning. Running at Billions of colors, even on three screens, the P650 is simply incredible. What it doesn't do well is High definition video becomes a slide show. Games, at least my overall Quake 3, play favorably, but, to...

    Kind of curious: On the Athlon 3000+ 5.03 F@H runs the processor at 100%, all the time according to task manager. On the 2.8 dual machine, it takes one, complete, virtual processor, for about 25% of the machine. Niether seems to be affected much, if at all, by having it run int the...
