    AGP replacement card advice

    I've been planning for a while to build myself a new machine around the vista launch so I could take advantage of cheaper Conroes, DX10 vido cards, and the like. However, my Radeon 9800 decided to die on me this week, and so I'm in the market for a AGP card to hold me over until my big upgrade...

    DX10 prices

    Eve-Online will have a DX10 engine as well, looks like they'll be trying to take advantage of just about everything the first version of DX10 cards have to offer.

    Scared to Borg 340 ghz? Should I do it? Worth losing my job?

    I have experience borging 500ghz+ at my old High school (where I also worked in IT over the summers) and I'll add to the refrain saying do not ever borg without permission. That being said, I have found most people I've worked with very sympathetic to folding, in my experience, bandwidth is what...

    Anyone else remember when we hit the 1 million mark?

    I remember it well :) Back then my only DC machine was a 366mhz laptop. Ahh days gone by.

    Getting refurbished 15k.4 to work with Seatools

    I recently got a refurbished Seagate 15k.4 SCSI drive, which I am really enjoying. My problem is that I know I can get more single user performace by tweaking the cache settings with Seatools enterprise. The drive, however, shows up as a "CSC 73GB 15k Refurbished" in Seatools and it doesn't...

    Win2k low memory optimization

    My GF uses a old HP Omnibook (P2 366, 64mb) for word processing and basic web tasks, and plans to use it for some time, (at least a few years). She recently needed her OS re-installed and I out 2k on the machine because I couldn't stand having her use 98. The problem is that with her...

    CPU TEMP: how hot is too hot? (newbie needs help)

    Most of the time temps like that are caused by a heatsink not sitting flat on the cpu, or from re-using the stock thermal pad after removing the heatsink. Since you have re-installed the heatsink we'll assume that it's sitting flat, although if nothing else works re-installing it again might be...

    AMD Tech Tour 2006

    Bundle quality aside, those Tech Tour events are usually a lot of fun and quite informative. AMD puts on a bit of a show, free stuff is given out, and dinner is provided free. I really enjoy the chance to talk to some AMD engineers and marketing people. You can often find out info that is not...

    JTV, 6.6 Days 'Till Roadkill

    SETI@Home might be dying???

    Some of the oldies already know my position towards SETI. It's interesting scientific research, but there are projects out there with much more pressing goals. F@H and UD are both projects with great potential to save lives. So although it's kinda sad to see the project that made DC famous fall...

    Calling Mr. Moose...and Mary if he wants to join in...

    Nice to see you're still at this James, How many times have you tried to quit DC now? :) I see you're producing nicely, almost caught up to me in UD points. Only took you two years to catch up since I switched to F@H full time. Ahh, I miss these forums, got to spend more time reading them.
