This is a pretty good deal, provided you combine it with a few things...
For instance, Ericsson and AT&T have a mail-in cash rebate for $50 on the R280LX, A1228LX, and T18LX digital phones. You can go to Amazon.com and get one of these phones with AT&T service, get a couple of...
It's all survival of the fittest...3dfx in the end had the worse product and was unable to pull through. nVidia wins.
What I see in the future: new cards put out that are the bleeding edge of tech, midrange cards that are slightly older but just as affordable as the midrange cards of today...
That's what the search function is for.
I don't think people should go flaming left and right about things, but there IS the search engine readily available to someone who wants to post a hot deal...making sure someone else hasn't posted it yet is being courteous to the original finder. Plus...
TheBeast,
Screw you.
There's certainly no need to be rude about it, but since you're intent on having it so...
As for the info itself, I gleaned it from rivazone. Sorry if their interpretation was incorrect at all.
In any event, it seems 3dfx is REALLY on the ropes...they're shutting down their own card manufacturing and halting production of the V5000 altogether: http://cnnfn.cnn.com/2000/11/14/technology/3dfx/
And their shares are down to $4 a share. That's really bad.
Currently I've got a PII 400. I'm quickly learning that that was probably a poor choice, but at the time I was heading off to school and needed a computer then and there.
So my question is, without having to change the mobo and getting an Athlon or Duron (which I WOULD like to do, but I don't...
If you have two hard drives on the same IDE channel, the performance hit is there, but barely noticeable. ESPECIALLY with UDMA. Just make sure that you use the faster drive as the master and put the OS and any swap files on that drive, to minimize the performance hits.
<< Plextor IDE drives do kick ass. But that means their SCSI drive would kick that much MORE ass! SCSI is just a better performer than IDE at any speed/make. >>
Ah, but current IDE CD-RW drives are so fast and reliable that the difference is pretty much unnoticeable :D
For A-L-L-ADVANTAGE?
They're going down the tubes, doncha know! I heard that they're not even paying out money anymore, instead giving you "chances" to win prizes, LOL.
It can burn 80min CD-Rs...you just have to use a program other than the one that's packaged with the drive. The programs, in a word, suck.
I suggest you download Nero. Awesome burning program that copies just about anything and ensures buffer underruns never happen. http://www.ahead.de makes...
I bought the Spressa 8x/4x/32x from buy.com using the $30 off a while ago. It works great, as long as you use decent media.
As for wearing out the RW part of the drive by using the read abilities of the drive, well, that doesn't make much sense, does it.
Personally I like the Imations and the TDKs...better compatibility and better burning in general.
I bought the 50pk Kingston spindle when this deal first came out and I've had nothing but trouble from them.
I just recently did a format and clean install of Win98SE on my comp. After doing a few tweaks with hard drive and vid card settings, I installed Tweak UI to fix a couple of things...
Things seemed to be fine, until I noticed that whenever I tried to shutdown from the Start->shutdown menu, my...
Is anyone having trouble with the 8x 700mb blanks? I've been burning them on my Sony 8x/4x/32x and the burn goes throuhg, but for some reason I can't read the data afterwards using the same drive...
I could be wrong, but when I went ot look at outpost today, the Kingston 12x spindles (the 50pc and the 100pc) both say they use Cyanine Dye, NOT Phtalocyanine Dye...
Hmm, not the BEST deal, but the CDs are still high quality and burn nice...I haven't had any coasters with em.

That's why you bring a copy of the URL, you idiot.
