Venice 3800+ vs. Newcastle 3800+

Um..bunk. About 6 years ago AMD was less stable, they are equal now for all purposes. Where did you hear S939 was getting cancelled? I search websites all the time and have heard no such thing. DDR2 isn't that much of an improvement, and AMD has said so, so that shouldn't be an issue...

HAHAHAHA, Lexmark gets owned!! :)

Good news for me, since my black cartrige just decided to die. Nope, it's full of ink, it just stopped outputting any. There aren't any clogs or anything. I just got this piece of crap this past Christmas, didn't print very much, (though sometimes I'd print a single page in black and white...

A clean computer is a happy computer

Hmm..I tend to use my step-dad's really huge air compressor. You can blow out some dust pretty well with about 80PSI at your disposal. Not to mention, you don't have to worry about that little freezing problem you would with the cans of air. ;)

2400+ heat output

Getting a SK-7 isn't an option, niether is getting anything above the price of 20 bucks, or anything louder than what I have. If my orb won't cool it well enough, I've played with it long enough to trust it NOT breaking my CPU, I'll just pay the extra cash and get the stock fan that comes with...

2400+ heat output

How much heat does a 2400+ XP put out? How much is it compared to say a 1.2ghz Athlon? I went to AMD's website to look up exact numbers to compare, but I couldn't find anything at all helpfull on the matter. Mostly, I want to know if I can get a 2400+ OEM for 20 bucks cheaper that doesn't...

Original Networking Support thread for the unemployed

Hey guys and gals. Just wondering, how good is having gone to a vocational school and getting diplomas for Microcomputer Specialist and Netwoking Specialist, plus my A+ and Net+ certifications? At least good enough for me to get my foot in the door, assuming I ever find a door that is? Right...

Flashing Video BIOS question

Hey guys, this is probably a stupid question, and I don't plan to do it anytime soon, but I gotta know for curiosity's sake. Here's the hypothecial situation. I have a PCI video card, say a Voodoo3 PCI, and an AGP card of some sort, and want to flash the agp card's bios. IF something goes...

1900+ Heatsink Question

Actually, it's currently working on a 1ght Athlon. Pretty well too. Only time it gets above 47C is when it gets really dirty....and that's for what my old toothbrush is.

1900+ Heatsink Question

Hey guys, I might end up getting a 1900+ Athlon this Christmas, (it's good to know your family knows how much you like computers), and I was wondering if you think that my Mini Super Orb should be able to keep it mildly cool. From what I hear, the old 1.4 Tbirds are still the hotest Athlons to...

Why does everyone diss the Kyro2?

Nemesis, dude, jsut give it up. Obviously some people like playing either old games, games in 16bit color, or 3dmark. Me? I like playing new games at decent resolutions in 32bit color. Granted, not all do great, (Morrowind again, but I already talked about that.), but it looks like my...

Why does everyone diss the Kyro2?

My Kyro is still chugging along quite nicely. Never really had any glitches with it, other than if you enable FSAA with it, you see lens flares through walls. Big deal, I'd rather play at 1024x768 and get 50-80fps than play at 800x600 with 4XAA and get 40 anyway. (Just a rough estimate folks...

What version of Direct X is best for the newest Kyro II drivers?

MAke sure you're using DX 8.1 drivers/the newest drivers. Could you specify "Messing up?"

Budget upgrade from 3DFX? Older system.

Nothing wrong with going with a ti4200. About 150 bucks give or take and solid performance. For about 100 bucks you can pick up a Radeon 8500LE. Little cheaper, little slower, you pay for what you get. Of course you will be a bit CPU bound with either, but once you turn on some...

RAID 0 vs. WD SE drives

RAID will actually make loading games slower from what I have heard. It makes sense that it would too. Instead of getting to read everything straight from one drive, now your PC has to switch back and forth between them to look for bits of a file/files to load a program. The only RAID I would...
