** @#$#@%@ lost an XP1600 tonight...

[Engineer]

Was replaced by a shiney new 2.4GHz P4 533MHz (256 PC2700 ram) Dell!

The XP1600 was on a crappy board (K7AMA with Ali Magik chipset) and averaged 5 hour WU's...the Dell (as compared to the other one here) should be under 3 hours a WU!

more...more...more! :Q

Sounds like you are doin' fine Did you get a second LCD monitor? Have you got a report for us on how those LCD's do for fast-paced gaming?

Actually, the LCD looks better than my CRT (older Panasonic CRT 17")...but there must be a problem with the Dell/Nvidia (or WinXP) drivers as there were a few strange blocks appearing in the game...may update drivers or get WinXP SP1 to see if it goes away!

Yes...got 2nd LCD and love it. Thinking about selling last XP1600 system with the 17" Panasonic monitor and getting new 17" LCD for X-mas...but I hear new technology is coming out (forgot name) that would make LCD response 10ms or better....

more..more..more! :Q

 

[ViRGE]

I'm envious Engy, very envious. Send one of those LCD's my way.


PS Woot! My first thread hijack. Sorry Engy

 

[ElFenix]

what the? is this related to daylight savings time changever? good job virge!

I think it's plasma drives you're thinking about that will replace the fairly new LCD surge. Japan is leading the charge of plasma since Taiwan dominates in LCD production. The thing I don't like about plasma though is that it has a short life cycle. For example they say after 4 years they lose 25% of their brightness and sharpness. The 60" monsters cost as much as a decent car but go down in value and usefulness before a car, doesn't sound too good to me.

No, actually Mitsubuishi has developed a quicker pixel controller...the LCD portion stays the same, but the controller is different. It takes an image of each screen, and as each pixel changes, it compares it to the previous state and then either OVERvolts or UNDERvolts it to get the pixel to quickly change...and then the controller interrupts the pixel before it goes to the applied voltage (color) and changes the voltage to what it should have been....in essence, giving it a surge effect to get the pixel to change quickly. The first monitors on this technology are supposed to be out in November and cost $699 for an 18" model.......the results are said to be spectacular!


Thread on the New LCD controller technology...

dang, thats cheap for an 18!

 

[RaySun2Be]

Very funny Engineer.

Dude, you got a Dell!

 

[networkman]

How did ViRGE get to be the first poster if the thread was "authored" by Engineer and why does the current thread title "** @#$#@%@ lost an XP2800+ tonight..." have absolutely nothing to do with the thread??

 

[mechBgon]

Daylight Savings Time glitch, networkman. And an intriguing one, I must say Engineer "lost" a 1600+ from his fleet because it's been displaced by a new Dell P4, and I suspect ViRGE has editing privs as a result of the glitch, because it originally said "1600+" in the title.

 

[dmcowen674]

Virge got editing priviledges by a Time glitch? :Q ?

 

[networkman]

I understand now.. I didn't realize it at first, but this is PROOF that time travel really IS possible!

Either that or ViRGE=MOD

:Q

No, you're Lynx, Confused hasn't posted yet.

What happened is that I was posting a reply at 11:13pm my time(PDT), which would have been 2:13 EDT. However, the switch away from DST took the East Coast back to 1:13, and as a result, it thought I was posting an hour earlier than I actually was; this is what's being called the AT Time Warp. Since my fake time was earlier than the first real post, I became the first post, and got editing privliges of the title as a result(I could do some really interesting things with that). And no, I don't have mod powers... stares at Ray while touching the brim of his hat twice... so the AT Time Warp is the only time when I can hijack threads. Stay up on the Fall Back date guys, it's a fun hour.

Hey Ray...can I borrow your ViRGE whipping cane! :Q

Maybe Engineer is a Mod and will have the last laugh! :Q


(Maybe not! )

 

[deerslayer]

doesn't work anymore

 

[Spleenus]

This is Captain Spleenus of the 29th Century Federation Timeship Relativity. I'm afraid I'm going to have to repair this temporal anomaly by, er, neffing in it. Captain Spleenus out.

 

[Carrot44]

Hummmmmmmm did I miss something here? How is it that Enginner started this post but Virge can Hijack it and post before him?

And congrats Enginner Dude you got a Dell.........

Ken

 

[Wolfie]

Oh now... Not the ViRGE is a mod thing again... Didn't we discuss this about 3 years ago??? haha

Engineer,
What did you do with the old system? Mind donating it to the Wolfie foundation????

Wolfie

 

[Spleenus]

I think ViRGE been changing the title again

 

[DJSnairdA]

Ack! You don't wanna lose them!!

I hope you can get it fixed up..
