Repeat after me: "Seagate, Seagate, Seagate,etc." :wink: GS

Splash!!!! Good luck, and God Bless you and yours. Down to 140 miles per hour, last time I looked. This is REALLY NOT good news: http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=42038 http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=42001 Good thing about this is the waves could be going...

Gary: What refresh rate do you use? gs

Hi I am wondering about getting a sound card to work with my Klipsch pro media speakers. NOT my Klipsch in the living room, the other computer speakers. http://www.klipsch.com/product/product.aspx?cid=102 Mercutio does that wild card of yours work for something as regular as head phones, those...

Happens in our prison system all the time... :erm: :eek4: Gs

I have the LSI Megaraid1 320-1. It runs the same drives between 90-120mb a sec, and, is noticeably faster then the adaptec card. I may have to resurect this thread, since I'm going to try and figure out what is feasible, with the Gigabyte GAK8NSC-939. Hmmmm. gs

I paid 170 bucks for my last copy of XP Pro, for the Athlon 3000+, and, I think I should have paid 140, if I had been a bit smarter, and bought from eWiz.com. I use XP Pro, with almost all the XP stuff, visuals, off. I LIKE classic, and I like the darker blue of XP. I use XP for one major...

Every once in awhile, usually doing a photoshop project, I run out of screen real estate, and, these monitors and cards do 1600 X 1200 in that obscene, off the screen type deal, where if you want to see the other parts, you have to mouse up or down to see that part of the screen. That sucks...

I'm right on the warranty return time, so, I'll have a reply soon. If they give me the money back, I'm going to do what I should have done in the first place, and build her a new box, or, give her my Athlon 3000+ that I use for email, and trade. :cry: :errr: :arge: :cursin: :excl...

This Hitachi monitor looks pretty good at 85 mhz and 1280, and, the other at 1152 is back to stunning. Also redid the Adobe Gamma Profiles, and that may have helped. What did you think of the Mitsubishi 22, and, are they dropping in price? Thanks Tannin and all Greg

Well, not to mention driving reactions aren't exaclty real time, either. I agree with the shooting stuff. Shot placement is what it's all about, and I think, IIRC, it's head shots count, body doesn't. But that could be Unreal Tournament with the sniper rifle... I don't play often enough to...

Her leaving was my giving her the chance. I was furious at, of all things, fish tank pumps. I had 3 400 gal an hour pumps, about 80 bucks each, and they all got REALLY noisy, at once. So noisy you couldn't sleep in the same room with just ONE of them, and, with the three going, it was REALLY...

First, when all else fails, read the manual. :wink: Second the 19 inch monitors are all used, between 59 and 85 dollars each. Can't remember what the Hitachi's recommended, since they were bought new, but the one in the other room 7 years ago from Dell, and this one, just prior to that...

Yes, it's time for a glass of wine, I think. Costco here I come... :mrgrn: GS

HMMMM. By dumb luck, I think I found out what brings out the colors so well. I got rid of one of our fish tanks, and I'm using the flourescent light in my room, since it's kind of dark. With that light on, it's a combination blue and white flourescent designed to grow plants, I'm getting the...

It's been running fine. Turn the machine off over night, and, no screen booting. Pull out the Powerleap, and back to the P2 400 and it's fine. Must be the ram, and, I am NOT going to buy new ram for a 7 year old machine. Think it's too late to return... Oh well, it was worth a try. GS

1280 X 1024 on almost all of them. Should check at work, but that's what I use at home. gs

Running both at 75 mhz, the Sony CPD 400 and Hitachi Elit 802 plus. Tried higher, but it sort of washes out. GS

ambiguous reference. I meant the scentists.... gs

I have a hard time with driving in Far Cry, but, I suck in general, at games... GS :cry:

"bugger all" is not a term I'm up on. From the rest of your comment, I gather that means "not much?" :mrgrn: :?: :wink: CPU temp is not possible, but, since jacking to 1.6 volts, it's been stable... GS

I guess. I've got 4 Sony 19 inch, and two Hitachi 21 inch, and the pattern appears the same... g

Mercutio: I've NEVER heard he was diabetic. Where did you get that little tidbit? GS

I wonder if they have lived in San Francisco??>?? :wink: GS

This is my fear, as well. We live on a golf course, and, our cat did love looking out the window. I'm thinking at this point that having a half wild animal, and keeping it inside, maybe what we wanted, but not what the cat wanted. She's good at hunting, and, squirrels and mice are all over...

I had to post something on this. I've got both XL700 and XL800 at home, in two different boxes, and, the P650 at work. I'm using the same Sony monitors with each, and, everytime I turn on the box at work, with the Matrox P650 at work, I'm amazed at the difference in clarity, and, the relative...

The Dell shipped with a 200 watt power supply, and, with the extra cheetah, and scsi card, I think I might have had both powersupply and heat problems. Pulled it. If and when the hard drive dies, I'll install the Cheetah. Also had to order a DVD ATA burner to load windows, since I can't load...

Thanks. I needed to hear that right now. Pretty crushed... GS :cry:

She's nuetred, but, she's about 2, so, I'm thinking the feral part seriously took over, and, she was going to go, period. It's tearing both of us up, big time. I'm sitting here, thinking about her cute face, as she digs her claws into my knee, to get my attention, then runs before I can pet...

Suspected as much, but wasn't sure. It's certainly WAY faster then the pos adaptec 2010S... GS

No One Lives Forever Xfiles Call of Duty No one lives forever 2 But, my favorite game was Tex Murphy, and I'd almost like to build a 98 machine just to play it... Max Payne 1 and 2. Lord of the Rings? Quake 3? gs

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: While I was screwing around with the fish tanks, my cat took off, onto the golf course. Looks like she's really gone, this time. Before, she would run out, and then come in. This time, looks like she isn't coming back. Trying to...

After posting this, I checked with Dell, and didn't find the info, but, did find the computer is now 7 years old. Since I've got another motherboard in the other room, I may just build her another machine, now that she has a job. GS

Well, the upgrade just froze the computer. Maybe being on too long, too much heat, don't know. Anyway, pulled a scsi drive out, jacked the voltage up to 1.6 V, per the instructions, and we'll see how it works. Still keeping the old processor around. Anyone know the max cpu I could run on...

Farcry????? gs

Nailed that one... :cry: gs

Faster scanner might help. I found dual xeons work very well for Photoshop scanning, combined with USB 2.0 Epson 3170 scanner. FAST. I had problems with an old scanner, scsi and usb, maxing out a 1.4 gig Athlon. Switching to the dual Xeon 2.8's really did the trick. Even if your software is...

The funny part about the big 5, cape buffalo, lions, elephant, leopard, rhino, both black and white, is they are fairly smart, if unperdictible. African elephants have a low frequency language, and can communicate complex ideas. Tava, that Tannin used to have on his website, with myself and my...

Sorry Merc, but, I believe it's the part of the city, then the county, then the state agencies involved to anticipate, and ask for possible help. Bush WAS ready to go, but, he respected states rights, and waited until asked, which in this case, looks like partisian politics affecting the gov of...

WOW :excl: :excl: Despite your other posts, you just really nailed it. The problem with democracy is it destroys the middle class, and this leads to an oligarchy suppressing a poor minority, and, when given the chance, they create a 'mini-revolution' like Rodney King, or NO. As I'm sure...

A fellow furball to keep Tannin's other half engaged... GS :wink:

Certainly intresting that to you, FDR was a great president, and, to me, he was one of the most long lasting, and distructive. A brief view of his accomplishments: He destroyed the 10th amendment. He threatened the Supreme Court, saying if they didn't stop vetoing his illegal, and contrary...

Oh, the guy Christer, is a bit of a rhino himself, at 6'7" tall, and over 275 pounds.

This is a darted rhino. Another guy used to have a ranch, 22,000 acres, in South Africa, before he was forced out of the ranch. New government, and he was white. He had 23 white rhinos, and while you couldn't exactly pet them once they grew up, you could when they were babies, like 1000...

It's really funny, at least to me, that people blame presidents for domestic events. The presidents PRMIARY RESPONSIBILITY, under the Constitution, is foreign affairs. Try pulling up the first couple articles, and read what the president is SUPPOSED TO DO. I think the founders really intended...
