Wow. I'm impressed..that's a long way from the old Matrox setups...lol,

Just upgraded my K100D to the K200D, better all the way around, plus I love the water/dust seals. It's unbelievable in rain! K200D Sigma 70-300mm Macro Tamron 18-250mm On my wishlist is the 10-17mm Fisheye lens and the 50mm FA 1.4 lens. The reason I buy Pentax is because my dad had...

"Most nerds are absolute pussys" That's true at my work also. They remind me of the nerds in the Alltel commercial.

1. I would take my old computer(XP2400 oc'ed to 2.2ghz) and give it to my 3 kids so they can share it for school use and gaming. Then I would build a new computer around this processor for photo post-processing and get back into gaming with up to date games that I've been wanting to play for...

For an entry level camera, it's hard to beat the price and quality of the K100D with the kit lens which is better than most kit lenses. The only downfall I have is the Auto - White balance tends to be off on indoor and night lighting. But if you're a real photographer, you'll set it manually...

I agree. I like the Canon S3 IS and it can be found for around $250 -$300 if you look around. I saw it at Fry's Electronics last week for $250. Great all around camera that can double as a video camera also with a decent 2-4GB SD card. My main camera is a Pentax K100D but the Canon is...

I'd go with the D40X, the D40 doesn't have AF for some lenses, but that doesn't bother you then go with the D40.

That's just sexy. Stop it!

This was taken with my Canon A520. I really got interested with the S3 IS, then I decided to go with a DSLR and I just ordered this today. I was really deciding between the Rebel XTi and the Pentax K10D. So I went to Ritz and held both and the Pentax just felt so much more comfortable and...

WOW! What a change 5 years makes! I used to be a regular customer for PCClub back then when I built systems and they used to treat everyone with great care and respect. Tech support was always helpful to me, I used to call up the B&M store(Mesa, AZ) and they'd walk me through any problems...

Daikatana Doom 3

Bump,

You'd be muuuch better off just taking the long route and backing everything to disc and doing a fresh format with fresh drivers, then deleting the old Windows installation and installing a new one. Trust me on this, you'll end up doing it anyway.

I remember running ME and thinking, at first, that it was better than 98SE but not as good as Win2k, but more user friendly. MAN, WAS I WRONG!! It would crash after 2months consistently, if you used system restore, then you were guaranteed a reformat within 2 weeks. I used to disable system...

Well, you can copy your XP disc to your harddrive, then slipstream SP2, then burn a new copy to use for the install. It only takes about 20minutes for the whole process if you have a recent cd burner. Click the link above for details.

You guys are arguing about the reality of the game??? Then how the hell is a marine supposed to be able to carry a pistol, shotgun, machine gun, chaingun, BFG, rocket launcher, plasma gun,soul gun and a flashlight all at once? Not to mention the ammo for the chaingun and grenades? Yeah...

oops nevermind my reply

Assuming your running XP, Did you try running MSCONFIG and unchecking a few of the apps running in the background? Also check your services under Administrative Tools and see what's running in the background. If you do a search on google there's a few good sites about which services to...

I have to agree with you, I think Nero 6 doesn't like the NForce2 IDE driver. It either takes forever to start burning, and/or occasionally it locks up while burning. I have a friend with the A7N8X board, a Lite-on burner also, and he has the same probs. Maybe I'll try the Microsoft drivers...

By the time D3 comes out we will be speculating on the NV80/R500 with 1 TB of QDRam and whether it 's faster than a donut hole disappearing act in a room full of cops. :D From what I remember reading here, even my old AIW9700PRO will run Doom3 more than acceptably at 2x/8x AA/AF. I...

It looks like your refresh rate is locked. Are you using Reforce or someother 3rd party utility to lock refresh rates?

Since he's not into gaming, this should give excellent 2D quality for light photo work: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-125-120&catalog=48&depa=0

Depends on the brand, most just come with Demos. I'm not sure if any still have the Half-Life 2 coupon anymore. Btw, I run a 9700PRO AIW, not overclocked, (won't overclock well with AIW for some reason?) but it runs everything beautifully at 1024X768 with 4xAA and 16x AF, I love it and...

My first oc was a pci TNT card 16mb, that went from 90mhz(I think) to 107mhz. Then the following month, I bought a 300a for $200 and oc'ed it to 475mhz. Remember the sandwich coolers!

I had a GF3 with terrible 2d image quality and there was a mod to remove the RF filters on them. I removed 5 out of the 6, then tried to remove the sixth and cut a trace to resistor, so everything was pink next time I booted. So, I used a conductive pen fix that, which worked. Then I did a...

It sounds like your PSU can't quite handle it.

Ahh dammit. the pics are down, I've exceeded my daily limit. Sorry. :mad:

If you actually read my post, you'd see that I said I clean it weekly, but this is the dust between the fan and the hs. Who the hell checks that weekly?? You figure that the fan would blow the dust through and not build up, especially a 7k rpm fan.

This is what happens when you live in Az. My 2400 was running at 11x200, then I kept getting BSOD's, but couldn't figure out why?? I bought this hs about 10 months ago, had it apart once, so this is about 5-6months of dust!! I dust inside my case every week and try to keep it as...

There's a couple of ways: Go into your registry to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and delete whatever isn't necessary, but first export those lines in case you delete something...

I'd go with a Pioneer 16x drive instead of the the Lite-on. The Lite-on DVD drives are noisy and it's only about 6-8 dollars more.

Just pay the 30 bux for the DVD addon and watch your damn DVD's on a regular TV. I'm sure you could find it cheaper if you google it.

LOL! that was funny!

A nice Pentium 4 2.4c oc'ed to 3.4ghz with a 9800Pro/XT, 1gb of PC4000 Corsair/Crucial, an Abit IC-7G, pair of 160gb SATA drives, an Audigy 2 platinum, DVD burner and a nice 21" monitor ought to be about right.

http://www.frys-electronics-ads.com/ - look at the Multimedia PC, but it only comes with ThizLinux. It's a Compaq and no software or OS, but it's under $300 - http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=CA1440-4 There's more but they don't have OS'es either, look towards the bottom --...

I loved this game, and I just finished it also. I also like the theme song at the end (but what do I know, I'm old!) I usually don't play a game right through, but this time I couldn't stop playing it.

Honestly, eventhough they don't play games, you might get a MX2 400 from Newegg for about $39 or so. It'll save system resources. And if you're putting in 2000/XP, then you don't have to worry about drivers, like you would for the Banshee. Photshop should only be affected by how much ram you...
