It was not drivers, but a hardware issue with certain Taiwanese clone mobos (particular SiS or ALI chipsets would go into a tizzy when you installed a Matrox Millennium II, or was it a G-200). If I recall correctly, there was some errant way that these certain models of SiS and ALI chipsets...

You'll need STUFFIT EXPANDER to unpack it first! http://www.stuffit.com/expander/index.html

> 640 x 480 res It sounds like you uninstalled the Matrox software, which is what you don't need to do because you uninstall drivers, too. All you need to do is disable QuickDesk. Are you running Windows or is this OS/2? I'm running Windows 2000 and Windows XP and the method described...

Once Serial ATA finally gets here, it seems like we can expect to see a class of 5400 RPM S-ATA hard drives emerge around the year 2004 that have amazing storage capacities, drives with 100 GB or 120 GB platters.

You can disable the QuickDesk thingee (I never use it nor have a need for it) by first right-clicking the QuickDesk thingee itself there in the toolbar, then followed up by right-clicking the desktop and un-check "Start Matrox QuickDesk When Windows Starts" selection. I actually have used it...

The "21-inch" Cornerstone monitors use the Hitachi CRT. The "22-inch" use the Mitsubishi CRT. http://shop.monitorsdirect.com/searchresults.asp?dept_id=3 The monitors that I use at work for imagery and documentation work are the Mitsubishi Spectraview series, which are the DP-2060U with a...

What on bloody earth are you running as a computer? At this point I would have to suspect something based on a Via, SiS, or ALI chipset and/or a box with a chancy BIOS. Matrox has produced excellent Windows drivers longer than most graphics adaptor manufacturers have existed. I'm sure...

Dear Ms. Tea and others: Mag Innovation and Viewsonic make nice consumer monitors, monitors which have features that the average consumer will like and made available at a price point that will sell shiploads. But, to get the price down, these manufacturers will cut corners in places that...

Howabout a game called: "Where In The World Is Osama Bin Laden?" ...except, just insert Osama Bin Hidin's face on package. Should make a buck or two for a while until he meets up with a mortar round somewhere.

ewwwww.... Just in time to experience the height of the local (Boca Raton, Florida) "dude" season! Well, at least those will be "real" dudes out there -- the ones shooting the curls and dodging the sharks that is. Should be some dudettes around as well. ...be thankful FOR the great...

Re: Do you think 40 bucks is a fair price for this card, wit If you're just running a simple RAID-0 or RAID-1 array, all you need is a 2MB or at most 4 MB DIMM. RAID-3 and RAID-5 operates more efficiently during heavy workloads with more RAM; 16MB, 32MB, 64MB and the most common DIMMs...

It's generally not worth trying to make into an "appliance" mainly because of electricity consumption.

Well, all I can say is that it's time for you to once again be thankful the great expanses of ocean between your island/continent/territory and the USA. Unfortunately, Canada is probably being bombarded with "Dude."

QNX is one of the fastest task-switching OSes available (i.e. -- an important aspect of multi-tasking pewrformance). But, that doesn't mean QNX is the best OS available. http://www.qnx.com/ As for me, I always though the Amiga's GUI was a bit spartan, but effective. Multi-tasking...

Well, neither did I until recently. Other than the tiny bits here and there as I walk by a powered-up television set, I might watch 30 minutes up to 2 hours maximum per week these days.

Dude, You're Scaring Us By John Morris & Josh Taylor News last week that Dell had introduced a new merchandise line designed to capitalize on the popularity of their slacker pitchman (actual quote from a Dell official: "Consumers can't get enough of "Dude" so we've given them some stylish ways...

It's without any doubt an American-English word, though I'm not sure of its etymology (ha! a Greek word) -- its origin. I suspect the word "dude" is rooted in the American west, meaning "cowboy" culture. Since its probable usage was in the American west for some considerable amount of time...

I've barely used Quark Xpress on a PC, just a Macintosh. This was due to the fact that (back then) the Postscript printer driver for Windows 9x and NT 4.0 had problems generating error-free Postscript output. When Quark Xpress 4.0 was introduced (and *long* awaited at the time, I might add)...

..·· Bartender, what have you been drinking? Quirk Xpress was a fave??? Well, if it was version 3 maybe, but definitely not any of the many many MANY 4.x.x revisions. Quirk Xpress 4 has to go down in history as one of the most bug-ridden application programs ever. ..··

..·· Well, well, my fine feathered friend. It's not like I used to take the occasional dummkopf over at the old SR about this very topic; during the 1999~2000 period -- I gave up after this period. The arguments were always centered around CD-R/W drives' write buffers, though. "Oh no...

Re: Intel i960 single channel, AMI, Perc/2, raid cards? Any . . · . Aren't the PERC/2 RAID host adaptors for use in mobos that have dedicated slots for these cards? I've never used or even seen these RAID host adaptors, but I believe these have a single Ultra2 SCSI channel. The AMI RAID...

. . · . Channel bandwidth is not just about data, there is also command overhead not to mention the small bits of time where nothing happens during command and data transmissions -- all of this figures into the total bandwidth of the channel. On the outer tracks, platter media rates can now...

. . · . I'll agree with "plenty of it," however I disagree with the preceding "lickity-split" part. Primary memory is now lagging WAY behind in the speed department as far as integration goes and it continues to trail ever further as new faster processors come out monthly. Processor speed...

. . · . Solid State: Don't expect a lot anytime soon in this department (i.e. -- something affordable for the masses). There simply isn't anything on the horizon to push these technologies beyond just periodic refinement of small low-power storage devices for portable use. Exotic solid-state...

. . Well, I may go back for a peek at the SR discussion forum in maybe... oh... 6 months. I recall visiting a couple of other discussion fora "out there" a couple of years ago -- one being Anand's (I believe it's called) and another that I can't recall the name of at the moment -- and...

. . SATA will *start off* as a faster channel than any existing Parallel ATA technology. SATA's speed will initially be 150 MB/s over a thin, easy-to-manage, easy-to-deal-with cable. Speeds will ramp up significantly over the medium term. Except for Maxtor's proprietary dead-end ATA...

. . SATA will notch up channel bandwidth AND real-world performance significantly, not to mention reduce overall equipement cost slightly once fully deployed by industry. SSCSI will do the same in a couple of years when it shows up. . .
