Question Last motherboard with AGP and ISA?

There's always examples of insane pricing on eBay*, but quickly perusing some eBay search results, prices generally don't seem out of line from what I paid many years ago. I've found the more challenging part to be getting ones with the case shield included. The other challenge is figuring out...

Question Last motherboard with AGP and ISA?

Something using the 440BX chipset is usually the right answer if you want to use an ISA sound card. I use an ASUS P2B for my Win98 build.

Bought a Corvette

I don't think its in the interest of GM to purposely underproduce the car. It doesn't get the benefits of selling cars over MSRP.

They might go up a little more now that GM has canceled the rest of MY21 orders.

Bought a Corvette

It's definitely a seller's market for Corvettes. A local dealer just listed a 2019 Z06 optioned like mine (with 1500 more miles) for about what I paid new.

Honda lawn mowers?

I got a HRX217HYA last year to replace a Toro. I use http://www.homedepot.com/p/Leaf-Easy-Plastic-Leaf-and-Lawn-Chute-LELLCP/202491987 to aid dumping grass into bags. It makes it much easier. I also back the mower throttle down while doing so. I'm able to hold the controls one handed while...

Why PC has never had a racing game even close to Gran Turismo or Forza?

Sim-racers do.

Why PC has never had a racing game even close to Gran Turismo or Forza?

There's lots of people like you. They don't want accurate physics, laser-scanned tracks, multiplayer matchmaking or very good AI. That doesn't mean that PC racing sims aren't better or worse than the console games and it doesn't make the business models nasty. Anyone who has made more than a...

120Hz problem

Because the output rate is 120Hz. This allows it to display various, common input rates without requiring any sort of 3:2 pulldown methods that introduce judder. Its most important for film content that is usually filmed at 24 fps but displayed on 60 Hz TVs. 24 doesn't divide 60 evenly, but...

Is this battery charger overkill for my uses?

I bought this one a couple weeks ago to tend the battery in my Altima (that I don't drive much during winter). There's also a lower-amp version that's also a little less expensive.

DIY Detailing- Pics Included!

When I bought my prior car new (the below Sentra), I started using Zaino Z-2 and Z-5 specifically because it would last six months between applications. I lived in an apartment and had no way to clean it up during the winter. This was my then-10 year old Sentra, after 120k miles and a decade...

Zaino. A bit pricey, but a little goes a long way, it lasts six months between applications and has an incredible shine.

Offered a 2009 BMW 335i sedan, good deal?

Is it a good deal? I suppose that it depends on your financial priorities. Personally, I think all personal auto leases are bad ideas. I also think buying new cars every 3-5 years is a bad idea. The difference: do you want to eat the depreciation twice in three years or have the option to eat...

how to deal with bird droppings

The best recommendation I can provide is to park somewhere else. Tree sap isn't good for car paint. Of course, the sun isn't, either. The best protection is a garage. Understanding that might not be possible: 1. Ensure that the car is always waxed or polished. 2. Use a good quality...

All Season/Snow Combo Tires - Who makes them?

This is wrong. The WS60 (and the predecessor WS50) are for dedicated winter-use only. In actuality, the outer layer of tread is designed for providing excellent ice traction, while the base layer is a traditional winter compound. At temperatures above 40°F, the compounds become very soft...
