Most AUP's prohibit the running of servers which, if you're a P2Per who uploads a lot, you are doing. Most ISPs don't care if you run a server as long as you don't use up a lot of bandwidth. C

I get 1.5Mbps/300kbps from Wideopenwest. I pay $79.00/month for my internet with digital cable TV (two cable boxes) and 5 channels of HBO. I locked in my rate at $79. THe package today would be $85 if you were to get the same package. Wow offers a number of internet only packages in my...

Blake- DId you try running that fan at 7v? Thanks for your input guys... C

I think I will get them one of these cases. I may just get one for myself while I'm at it. I like the option for 2 120mm fans and the $69 price is right too. http://www.mwave.com/mwave/doc2/A14403.html C

This Enlight case looks like a good option for the gift system I'm building. http://www.directron.com/en7255ab1.html At $59 with front USB and a 360W PS it sounds great. If I remember correctly, Enlight is pretty good quality. The price seems too good to be true, especially with a 360W P4...

Everything except the CPU will be passively cooled that is (notherboard & video). Thanks, C

I'm slowly building up a system as I find good deals on parts at techbargains.com etc. The system is a gift for my syster-in-law and her husband. He likes to play games so I want to get him a pretty good 3D card. Since I will be the tech support person for failures etc. I want to the...

The card it might be replacing is a Viper V770 TNT2 (non-vanta) 16MB AGP with SDR. It seems that the Siluro T200 might be an upgrade that isn't worth the time. MAybe I'll just keep it as a spare and let them stick with the TNT2....

But it should be a nice step-up form the 16MB TNT2, right? C

I guess the real question I need answered is..... Is the GF2 MX200 a lot crappier than just a standard GF2 MX? I think a standard GF2 MX would be a nice upgrade based on the reviews I've read but I don't know if the MX200 is really castrated or what.... C

Well, he'll be stuck at around 800x600 resolution. Maybe 1024/768 MAX on his 17" screen. THe games should get higher frame rates with the newer card, right? They are currently a little herky jerky with the TNT2 16MB. Deer Hunter 4 just totally is slow for some reason....maybe just a crappy...

Hey guys- How much do you think my soon to be brother-in-law will notice the difference in RtCW or Max Payne with subject upgrade? Think it will be huge? The new card is an Abit Siluro T200 with 32MB SDR onboard. I haven't seen much in the way of reviews for the MX200 so I'm not sure if it is...

You can get them here: ftp://download.nvidia.com/windows/nForce/2.41/ C

That's cool. Thanks for your participation! Sad to see you leave the team....although with the hot weather coming I may stop folding for a while too. :(

May I ask why? C

Anybody want to trade me a 36GB Cheetah 10K 36ES for my 18GB X15-36LP? C

This new basic service option that has no monthly fee just might get me going on TIVO....what do you guys think of it? http://news.com.com/2100-1041_3-1000591.html?tag=fd_top C

That is a great price for that drive. If I needed one I would surely buy it. I have owned two 18GB Atlas 10K IIIs in the past. I can confirm that they are indeed louder than the 36ES (two of which I own right now). Good luck selling...I'd try SR I sure you'll find a buyer there. Especially...

The game sounds like it will be fun but what I REALLY want is Counter Striker based on it! I'm finishing school (in 6 weeks) just it time to just dive into this game! C

Damn those pics DO look good. I can't wait to go buy it! Who knows, we may be upgrading video cards too. http://kevharper.dyndns.org/halflife.htm

Some pretty interesting videos with music here: http://www.grouchymedia.com/ C

A little off topic but....the gift you're going to get your best man is something that will eventually be outdated and worthless?

I never see any popups at compgeeks....and I'm using IE. Did you see some? C

I thought this was pretty interesting: http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=W-SE64&sourceid=00384104774967759786 C

Thanks blake! C

I was wondering if one of you guys could help me make sure I use the proper terminology when I make a request of our IT department. My company has a corporate intranet. The group I’m in has a website that I manage. I’m no webmaster, I just dictate what is on our group website, how it should...

Yet another reason to avoid HP in favor of Epson: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=9220 Self destructing ink cartridges. C

Would a 64mb Radeon 7000 be a nice step-up comparted to the tnt2? I wonder if there is a site that just compares graphics cards in a database or something... Thanks for your input guys.... C

How will Max Payne run on a system with these specs.: Motherboard: Intel BX Chipset CPU: Celeron II 950 Mhz GFx Card: TNT2 16MB AGP RAM: 384MB O/S: WinXP Any recommendations for how to get the most out of this game with this system? C

....and a good reason to buy one instead of an XP.... :wink:

Thanks guys. Maybe I'll just go over to his house and do it for him one of these days....He's running Win95 and the P-port transfer sounds like it sucks...big time. C

Thanks for your replies. Obviously, for people like us who are not afraid to open a box up, transferring the drive is the easiest and fastest way to acheive the goal. However, there are some people who are afraid to open the system just to look at it let along swap out components! :-)...

Guys- A friend at work has an old P90 machine. He just bought a new Dell and wants to transfer some of his files from the old machine to the new. He has too many files to use floppies and the P90 does not have a burner. Opening the machine(s) and transferring the hard drive of the old box...

Stereo- I haven't heard any numbers on the turbo Ion. Where are you getting yours? I agree, I would not want an Ion just because it doesn't fit my needs but I'm not sure what you're basing your Ecotec opinion on, either. I won't dispute your opinions...they are yours. I'd just like to see...

No pity for us. The Wings didn't show up....we deserved to lose. Maybe next year. The Ducks did a great job. Where is that Duckjob sound byte when you need it? C

Yeah...I know and it all comes down to gearing as well. I just like to poke fun at that stuff.... :wink: C

Yeah...I think most V8s available today are 300 CID or less. The Ford Mustang is a nice vehicle with a 4.6L V8 for under $30K. Of course, it doesn't get as good of gas mileage as the Corvette with 5.7L V8... :wink: That's interesting considering it has a 'more efficient' OHC V8. C

Howell- If I remember my limited transmission gearing knowledge correctly, given the same final drive ratio, your Acura should have actually felt slower than the BWM. However, you can't just go by the ratio numbers given for the individual gears. Each of the individual five 'speed' gears...

You're right about the increase in mass. I think it will be a wash though as the new all al. version of teh LS1 will undoubtedly be (at least incrementally) more efficient.....better than the Bimmer, anyway. If you're really concerned about the environment, you should buy a three cylinder pos...

Watch this local radio personality voluntarily get shocked by a tazer to help raise funds for non-lethal weapons for a local police department: http://971fm.com/dd_jefftaser040903.htm This is what a tazer looks like:

Yeah...I'd expect about that from a diesel....any diesel.

You guys should check your figures.....the old Corvette with a 5.7L V8 (which is similar to the newer, more efficient all aluminum 5.7 in the CTS-V) gets 19 city/ 28 highway. I would not expect the CTS to get any less that the 'Vette (if not more). This is better than the BMW...I might add...

Well, the major issue would be allowing the machine to access the net via an unsupported program which would be bad.

looks like it is back on track Looks like the problem is fixed, possibly. per Ars:

I can't wait to take one of THESE home for a test drive!! This baby will suck the doors off an M3 methinks! GM is letting people take cars home for the evening for 24 hour test drives too so this could be great fun....coming this fall.... C

No. Somehow, I don't think my employer would like it if I was running a program that accessed the net and did 'work' for a cause it does not officially support. :oops:

thanks!

Any idea where I can get an app that will max on both CPUs on my J6000 (HP-UX) workstation? We have a distributed computing system here at work and my machine seems to get assigned jobs when I don't want it to. Machine CPU usage is tracked so if I can keep it maxed out all the time, I am less...

Sold.
