i will post some pix :) i've been snooping around and it looks like the XFX Geforce 6800GS would be the card i buy for it. two of these and i'd have 24 pixel pipes and 512mb of ram. now to try and figure out how to afford a $200 card and a $100 psu... that'll take time. http://www.newegg.com/Product...

Hows this? At that price you could prolly get two. :drinkers: i was thinking maybe one 6800GT, then later get another 6800GT. i'd love to step up to the 7800GT or the 7600GT but i'm pretty sure i can't afford that. i'm looking around at newegg right now. i don't have much money to spend and i need ...

ok, i went and got a drink of water, lol so whats a decent mid range PCIe vid card? 6800GT? 7600GT? 7800GT? hmmm dual 6600GT's? i'm going to have to do some research on this now. should i run 1 fast card? no i don't think i can afford that. i should get one mid range card and then a bit later get an...

wonder if it's a fake pic. there's been fakes done before. remember the Vodoo 6000 with 4 gpu's on one card anyone? The Vodoo 5 6000 really does have 4 gpu's on it.... There are only a few undered made and only about half that actually work. You might want to do some google searching... -Alex- yah,...

there's even better setups than that and it only takes one screen. granted that is an awesome setup, barring the bezel distractions. but this single screen is about 8 feet around and it is concave so as you are sitting into it. it sets you so the edges pass your peripherial vision and costs around 8...

hmm, sounds interresting but i can't find any info on their site or pix.

i'd really like to see pix of it inside and out.

damn, too bad it's not a 478 socket match up, i've got my lovely 1600 to 2900mhz 478 P4 in an old i845E chipset mobo. AGP4X, DDR366 mem bus, but there's ways around that with the low chipset strap. hehe onlything i could go up to is the i875P and it's not really worth it as it's my third rig. i use ...

1mb stripe? hmmm, i don't think the onboard stuff actually goes any higher than 128k stripe. but yah, i'm going to play around with stripe and cluster sizing. but thats once i resolve the install HAL issue and then the sp2 4K cluster lock. those are the two pressing issues that i have not found enou...

That's exactly what should happen....it does in Linux! If you have say 2GB the OS should use as much ram as it can and then the remaining should go to disk cache!!! I'm certain that's what Vista will do too.....*nix has been doing this since day one...... Does it drive you nuts like it does me when...

i'm betting the resource cut back from earlier reports are all due to the fact that they gave up on a new filing system and went back to the old NTFS with all it's lovely limitations and the wonderous registy that takes forever to load and gets confused at the drop of a hat.

glad to help :) the program you have stuck in the add/remove and can't uninstall ro have it work; it can't be manually removed. there's a free program called regclean that will allow you to manually remove the entry in the add/remove panel and then you can scan for the program name and delete what y...

ah, well the smaller the cluster size, the less slack in the filing system and the less slack in the filing system the quicker the heads can read the data. think of it as taking out the spaces inbetween the data cluster writes. say i'm saving a 6K file, that would take two 4K cluster writes, this wo...

with a maglev pump, when you can tell it's running dry and if you should shut down, is a bit harder. the maglev will neveer squeal or really make any noise at all. the only way to tell if something's wrong or gone dry is if you feel it. you'll feel a tubmling bumping feeling, liken to tennis shoes i...

only thing i can think of, is something a forum friend told me off another forum.it didn't have anything related to the problem i'm having, but he said to slipstrem in the nv sata raid drivers b/c people were having problems trying to get the instal to read off the floppy. but my floppy was queued u...

all i see is indexes mis matched which could cause problems and your type of problems at their worst. but i don't see anything about scanning for bad sectors, i believe. did you set your chkdsk to this http://www.twistedchick.net/dfi_forum/chkdsk.gif the sector scan should take at least an hour or m...
