The P 650 plays Quake 3 at respectable frame rates, and at insane clarity and max settings. I wonder what their new card is going to be like? s

Clocker: It's really horrible when death hits home, and it's so close. I'm sorry. I've been posting about gang related stuff for a long time. Police and gangs are in a war no one wants to tell you about, and it's right here, in the United States, under your noses. The 18's have 4 million...

Seagate produces excellent products, backed them up, and helped when they didn't have too. I've always felt money on their drives was well spent, and an excellent value. Granite Digital is similiar. Please note I do not use Seagate ide drives, except for laptops. They are also based right...

How nice. These are the folks Clinton supported... :o

That's not good. s

Previously a P550 did not offer this feature, and while one of the better video cards for 2D I've ever used, it was truly sucktacular at 3d. s

Not with my prior video cards. Also, not nearly at this quality. s

Hi Splash has done a really good job of convincing me of the nature of Matrox cards. NO OTHER CARDS COME CLOSE. A feature he hasn't mentioned, is Matrox P650 and above have software that enables hardware support, for DVD playback. It's truly incredible. It plays DVD's at 1024 X, with hardware...

Since they are using everyone elses components, I wonder what motherboard they use? s

Amen. s

"Bang, bang, bang>" Mercuitio hitting nail on the head again. SR require money to function. No income, no storagereview.com I think I went down this road one time before. :evil: Adcadet: feel free to buy the WD drives. I'll stick with Seagate. They have never lied to me, they have never...

SATA is attractive. Granite Digital offers some very cheap controllers, I don't know if they are bootable, and the cables are much cheaper then SCSI. That said, wait until WD has competition from Seagate with SATA drives, and what the specs are going to be. Part of the brilliance of WD is...

This is the kind of crap that makes me go psycho... " Dear Friend: I recently met with local transit and rail officials in Oakland to discuss the measures we need to take to better protect public transportation travelers from terrorist attacks. The attacks in Madrid that killed almost 200...

Merc: Isn't Sony the only one out with a DL writer? Costco has a 400 dollar unit that takes a VCR tape, and converts it to DVD, probably single layer. I'll look at the ADS Pyro a bit more, but what I've found is kind of scary. What,and how, do you converte DV into MPEG2? Plextor I haven't...

ROFL! "Get a white friend" ROFL

Sigh is right. The intentions of the founders was to design a system of government that would not be overthrown by mob rule, like the Greeks. They designed the state system to allow the Federal Government very little control over the states. The irony is slavery pretty much forced the...

Still, it would be nice to be able to burn DVD's and have backups avaliable, one to one. Saw a Sony 8x ide at Costco for 130, but, I still would like to be able to do a flat out copy of our favorite used DVD's. Another idea I have is I wonder if you can take VCR tapes and copy onto DVD's? I...

Just figured out how to enable hardware on the P650 to help in video playback. Now plays DVD's at 1024 X 768 quality. Really much better then just software viewing. *.PSAT Found it. Backed it up, but how do you open it? Copy it back to the same path and replace it? Thanks gs

Forgot to add, as good as the Pioneer looks, Plextor has a 12X DVD writer on the market. So 8x should be yesterday, tomorrow. s

Granite Digital has come up with some really cost effective SATA solutions. www.granitedigital.com They also have some pretty good ide/firewire solutiont for backup. http://www.firewiredirect.com/firewire/products/dvdcenter.shtml has some really cost effective bundles for DVD drives, media...

This could also be the problem. s

Finally, the best example I can think of currently is the all so obvious silence addressing the valid issues brought up by Dr. Martin Fackler about gun control. The real saddness is that it's obvious the anit-gun people have no intrest in information or honest discussion, or they would...

To take it one step more, 'liberals' have become lemmings as well. Rather then looking at all data, history etc. they now look at 'conservatives' and bandy against someone, rather then for a position. Bush is a great example. He spends money like a drunken liberal, giving millions to peoples...

"Liberals" are currently the ultimate lie. I was, and am still accused, of being liberal. Liberal, since I'm old enough to have been around when the start of the movement really got going, was originally a term applied to socialists, etc. True liberalism, in the early 60's implied a tolerance...

Could you list which are 80 pin, and which 68 pin? Thanks gs

Briefly, the Constitution is designed to limit only the Federal government, not the state governments. Only through the 14th amendment was the Bill of Rights extended to the states, and then only selectively. The Founding Father's intentions are made pretty clear in The Federalist Papers...

Stalin killed about 20 million people. Hitler about 6 million Jews. 50 Million people died in WWII alone, IIRC. Funny no one wants to address Dr. Fackler on this point: I can understand the suicide stuff, in certain cases. My uncle was a competitive bicycle racer, and some disease cost him...

http://chezjacq.com/fackler.htm pretty funny.

So, only people like yourself are entitled to feel in anyway secure against personal attacks? God created man. Sam Colt made us equal. That cuts both ways. CT, you'll feel better about it when you get older, and loose that physical ability, or it's diminished by injury, or age. s

No. They do have the advantage of being able to strike first. It's not a good idea for a criminal to take their illegal gun to a firing range, and, it's very difficult to find places to legally use a firearm, at least in the crowded US. We are ready do this, with terrible consequences. It's...

That's what I'm currently using. s

I forgot to add that many European countries don't waste resources on the crap we try and stop. Prostitution, and drugs, in a couple Euro countries are legal. Why bother fighting that war, when bigger ones are around? Germany and other countries are on top of terrorism, since they don't waste...

I agree it's retarded, but, it's also true. The people with the guns get to write the rules. Ask the majority of the world, and I think you will find that true. First lesson you learn in International politics, 101. Feel free to show me how I'm wrong with the History of the USSR, China, Japan...

How about having this happen to your girlfriend? http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2003/06/06/state0148EDT0244.DTL

Hi Many people post IE and Outlook are inherently dangerous to use, since they are the targets of different virus, trojans, etc. What are the safest software to use, and why? Why is Firefox safer then IE, or Eudora safter then Outlook, for example? Thanks gs

Well, let's see. I'm in a bowling alley bathroom, and three guys, drunk and high, decide to beat me up for fun, or kill me, because they think I'm a friend of the guy at the desk, that just kicked them out, who I hate. Also being white had a lot to do with it. I've trained for a very long...

NO? You mean you aren't going to convince us there is, or is not a God?? S

Try this as a baby step. Can you believe that the group of the founders, putting their heads together, in disscussion, could come up with ideas better then anyone of them on their own, through the dialectic process? I realize that's a difficult concept, because that requires LISTENING TO what...

Some of us believe people are more then just people, and, in certain situations can mirror their Creator. I see why you have such a hard time with the concepts discussed by the founders. s

The history of mankind has been one people making war, and taking from another people, save sometimes, not, in this century. Industry standard is to conquer others, and take what they have. It's been going on from the start of time. It started with rocks and spears, now it's guns, bombs...

Yes. I see some one that appears to want to discuss a topic, but doesn't really want to look at evidence, or another point of view. Nor do they want to look at the 2nd amendment. It's ok. That's the nature of the country. If I believe in the First Amendment I have to put up with people who...

Thank you for distilling the anti-Constitution group into a nut shell. It's easy. Just reject everything the founding father's believed in, and tried to combat, and believe man is inherently evil, and you can justify your position. Just such people were why people came to the Americas to...

Oh Great. Was it Hobbes that has such a similar low view of the human basic being? s

Why are they so bad? Realplayer, don't bother telling me. QT? Why is is so bad? s

OH yes. Did I mention that if we catch these guys for drug, or gun violations we put them in Federal pens, or Pelican Bay. Pelican Bay was designed to try and stop one of the heads of a giant Mexican gang, from running his operations from inside the prisons. It didn't work. His death was the...
