DAC speed in Hercules Prophet 8500 128 MB card

I just received the Hercules 3d Prophet 8500 128 Mb card from newegg. On the box, it says "RAMDAC: 400 Mhz" . However, when I look at the Adapter properties in Windows XP, it says: "Internal DAC(350 Mhz)". Can someone please explain the discrepancy? All the documentation I could find...

I want to loose about 1/2" of fat

it's actually better to have an offset workout schedule...that way, you can work out more, and not run the risk of overtraining, which causes injuries. such a schedule would include a 3-day rotation, followed by 1 day of resting. so it could look like M: back+triceps, T: chest+biceps, W...

I want to loose about 1/2" of fat

tweak, spring break is only one week, but you can do it by summertime, which is a lot more important if you want to look good on the beach. it's a good idea to run in the morning and the evening, but it's more effective when you run on an empty stomach, because your body goes straight to the...

I want to loose about 1/2" of fat

likewise, i'm losing weight naturally. tweakmm, i don't think that 1.5 months is realistic for 1/2" of fat. There are lots of resources out there for healthy weight loss. It includes a combination of aerobic exercise (running, etc) in the morning, on an empty stomach, and weight training...

Any runners here?

i have recently started training for a marathon, and having done a lot of research, would have to say that nutrition has a *lot* to do with your endurance. try to eat a meal high in carbohydrates 2 hours before you run, as well as drink water, or a Gatorade or PowerAde before/while running...

Are you scared to speak in the public?

actually i think i heard a variant of that in one of jerry seinfeld's skits...that fear of public speaking is #1, followed by fear of death. =). anyway, i had a fear of public speaking in high school, but noticed that a) if i really knew what i was talking about, things were easier, and b) it...

Speed of thought?

i can envision numerous comical scenarios where i would *not* want to be hooked up to a computer which read my mind =). how often do you think "i wish this computer would die." what if it did, to obey?

I did need your advice, that's why I posted in the first place. Originally I was going to buy the Sony, but decided to go with the DiamondTron. I don't care about the $$ as much as I do about the monitor's quality, and Mitsubishi is a good. So, call me impulsive. It's annoying to spend your...

What would be the (dis)advantages of either tube (Sony / DiamondTron)? Also, it seems that the word "flat screen" is marketed differently. Some manufacturers call their monitors perfectly flat, whereas others brand them as "virtually flat," and yet others call them simply...

Really common? I looked at Dell's forums and found nothing...anywhere. If you know where I can get the link, would be greatly appreciated. Is that why they charge you $600+ for 2 256MB sticks? But if it were so problematic, how would they be able to offer 512MB? They can't perform Voodoo on...
