OK: Here's part of the video theory. Quartz Extreme is supposed to be a 3D os. Isn't it possible that the lack of video ram really cripples the OS impressions, and games on the mac? Native for those giant LCD's is 1900X or something like that. I was going to try lower resolutions, since in...

Thanks Buck. I've gone through my services and turned off all the stuff I don't use. With my mobo only having two slots, 512 is pretty much what I'm stuck with, unless I want to replace both. Greg

Kind of wondering if 2000 gets much faster if it goes from 512 mb to 1 gig, 2 gig, 4 gig? What's the best bang for the buck level? GS

A real Apple deal. Take a really fast gpu, and cripple it by using 64 mb of slow ram :roll: Oh well, that's life, and Apple. gs

Loading Safari, and other programs took a long time. They had a really slow internet connection as well. I watched some movie trailers, and the included speaker is terrible, video quality very good, at certain resolutions. I noticed at 1024X the picture was poor, lettering fuzzy. It likes...

It's kind of funny. They seem to work ok. Still, no blinding OS speed, it just doesn't feel like that much of a jump in speed. I wonder if the OS uses VM too much, slowing it down. I also wonder if with 8 gig of RAM the machine would be really fast. It could also be GPU limited, since both...

Clausthiser is my favorite non A beer. Virgin Planters Punch is also quite tasty. s

Congrats :excl:

Yep. Got that from the poll. Gs

Should we vote for ourselves? s

Well, I bought a switch that allows me to use the same keyboard and monitor for both computers, at a double tap of one key. I've connected the raid box to it, and back up files to that box, through intranet. gs

Thank you for the nomination. I accept. gs

Good doesn't do them justice. They are incredible. Courses they play are narrow, long, and really hard, as a general rule. You would need a commando team to get most players out of the ruff on some of the courses they play. The shortest hitter on the tour is long by regular standards, since...

A good attorney can win this one. The USGA, like the NCAA, have their collective heads so far up they can't see light. Guys make millions for their schools, and the athletes have to beg to eat a proper diet. I have no problem with a Mike Jordan being paid what he's worth in college, while...

THAT WAS REALLY COOL :excl: THANKS GS

Couple quick notes. Entrapment is what police do to criminals. It's when they give someone a chance to do a crime they are inclined to do anyway. Giving a non-drug user, or dealer, a chance to make 100 million dollars on a cocaine deal, when he was never previously involved is pretty much...

Yes, we have had a couple stereo "deinstallers" nailed doing the same thing in this area. gs

Just look at my icon for my view of how such things should be handled... :evil:

CAN WE SPELL: "ALARM" :?: Hello :excl: I've found that my alarm has deterred 100% of attacks on my car. In Hawaii, I'd always have to leave the car, with either surfboard inside, or at the break. The local scum would always be trying to screw with your car, just to screw with you, and or...

E_dawg: That turn the other bun stuff is mis-represented, and mis-quoted. It's very easy to do that kind of stuff when you are the son of God. However, he wasn't very tolerant of Pharisees invading His temples. If you look at Christ's actions on earth, they are a bunch of "do as I say, not as...

Clocker: Why are you selling it/ gs

e dawg: That's normal :lol: As for the story: :jumpin: :council: :rofl:

This guy is VERY lucky Lowell is such a nice Orangutan. A 300 pound Tea, is quite capable of ripping your arms off, and twisting you into unGodly shapes. Sounds like he just wanted out to play a little. :eekers: gs

Between the increase in resolution, and the new ability to play DVD's while working, I've been thinking about another monitor. I have an SBS box that I used with my mac, sitting in storage. Anyone have a decent PCI video card, for DVD stuff, quality only, they would recommend? Don't want to...

shudder... :roll: :evil: s

Hmm. Good question. Metal detectors at public places. Usually you know they are there, like a court building. All I can think of in these situations is that any robber knows that anyone coming out of the building, not LEO, does not have a gun. Good place to rob. Checking at leaving the...

Yes, I'm one of those truly strange people that takes all his original CD's, and if possible, copies them for his own use, so the original doesn't get scratched. I'd like to do the same with our movies. What programs have people used to do this with, and what should I know about the process...

Poor question. What ratios don't distort for the entire screen, not DVD. DVD plays in a window. Sorry. gs

Which handles SMP better, 2000 or XP? gs

Finally got another DVD player,and the scsi DVD player installed. Now I'm running at 1600X1200 with DVD on one side, and the other stuff on the left hand side. Seems 1024 and 1152 don't distort. But what's tru in aspect ration for 1600? Thanks gs

Diamond COMPANY: DE BEERS. They have a monopoly on world diamond production, and, you can only buy what they will sell you, in a sealed envelope, IIRC, in England. Everytime a new source, or a new way to make stuff comes up, they, just like the oil companies, protect their monopoly by buying it...

I thought that would be ok, because the link does not have any nudity on the page I linked too. However, if I violated a guideline my mistake, and thanks for deleting the link. Any of us can find it: just do a search for the Ponderosa whatever. Bill: If you have time, please email me the...

[Mod: Sorry Greg, but if I thought it was a good idea to post that direct-link URL, I would've. We have to follow the same rules as everyone else. -- Merc] Go here, and then navagate to the events. Got the general Idea. gs

Can't post to Pub& Brewery, but no problem with Computer forum. Weird.. :evil:

Perhaps, being Italian, and having like 8 different words to describe fart, and God only knows how for dump, my girlfriend has been rolling on the floor laughing about this subject. I wish you guys could see my cat. I throw this fake mouse 25 feet into the bathroom. She runs, faster then the...

Merc: Can't send you a private message, and email won't work either. Weird. Working fine on this end. Email me at santilli@pacbell.net What's going on? gs

Stupid Question. It's 3&4, and I've got it. Thanks gs

Now, the DVD player arrived. How do I figure out what SCSI id's are taken by the plextor stuff? I think I left the burner, and the reader on default. 4 and 6? Can't remember... gs

I wait with baited breath... Funnier then you know. If Bill gets around to posting them, I've been trying to get the cat to play fetch, and she does, when she wants too. She's actually very good at it. However, at some point she decides fetch should be hide the mouse, and have Dad look for...

PC running 2000. Canon 1220U USB scanner, scanning at 300 to 1200 dpi. Have not updated. Thanks Off we go to Adobe. gs

I'm using 6.0, and it' eats the processor when scanning in new items, and then converting the items to jpeg, or whatever format I'm using. Thing is, I'm trying to do other work while this is going on, and there are NO CPU cycles avaliable, so nothing else really moves. I'm sorry if my post...

I've got a 1.4 ghz athlon, with 512 mb of ram, and Photoshop uses the processor 100%, and most of the ram. What sort of processor and ram usage do others get using the program, and at what point does it stop using the entire processor? I'm not really into changing the processing priorities. s

Hmm. Another issue about Supermicro is they are one of the few US made boards. Another one is they are designed to work with multiple scsi cards, and, my Asus is blue screening every once and awhile, after I put the Adaptec UW card in it. That's 3 scsi cards in the same machine, at 3...

By the way, how do Tyan and Supermico compare with updating their boards for new processors? In other words, if I buy a Supermicro board, dual for two Xeon 3.06, and, next week, they come out with 3.5ghz models, will supermicro support those with a bios update? What are the probabilities of a...

OK: I see the point. Do the Xeon's have to be matched to work together, like the AMD processors :?: :cursin:

Splash: So what's the point in getting a dual processor board? s :bigeek: :crap:

Pradeep: response on the lighter side of the thread: First off, I don't like recoil. I use 22's to make sure I'm not developing a flinch. On rifles, if it recoils too much, put a brake on it(currently doing that to 375 H&H, if I can't find a 458 Win mag barrel for it). I have shot a 45...
