Yep,

I hope you don't smoke around your computer...for two reasons. (1) Smoking is bad for you, and (2) it is bad for the lens your cd uses to focus the laser. The lens is coated with a special elixer of chemicals in a vaccuum chamber. A cigarette is also treated with a vast number of chemicals ...

Hey,

Dual 733 PIII's

My HD speed sucks, need to install the ATA100 drivers.

Hey,

Update...

The mainboard is a 694D Pro (MS-6321) from MSI, with dual P733EB processors.

The Oxygen VX1 graphics board is just awesome. It supports a nice frame rate while rendered and rotating the parts.

Take a look at the project I'm currently working on. Its a medium sized instrument ...

Hey smaier69,

You are talking about backing up your HD?

We do this at work every day with a bunch of 20Gig tapes. This only covers any new files.

I'm not sure what your software does, but it's damn hard to make a perfect mirror of your data and make it restorable 1:1.

I suggest that you backup ...

Hey gonsog99,

First off you must call your ISP and complain that your ping is going sky-high...

And, get GameSpy3D to find your servers. I can only assume that you are using the HL shell to get games.

Whoa,

Who said to lap with sandpaper???? Noooooooo!!!!

Lapping is considered to be one of the finest mechanical finishes for a surface. To lap, you must mate the part with the lap *dry or *wet, and with a constant even pressure over the part. (dry using diamond abrasives or similiar, or oil with ...

Hey TigerUpperCut,

I have an ASUS A7V mobo, which has no ISA slot, and use a SBLive Value. Yes, it does have software (LiveWare 3.0) that supports the bass/treble through control panel. Plus, my card has the digital out too.

I bought it for $65 Canadian. It came in a static bag with a software CD.

Hey OrangeLlama,

Simple. Just turn back the clock a bit. My home system is a Duron 650 @757 (fsb 101, Mx 7.5) and it runs fine. I found this by trial and error. I'm sure it would go higher with a different HSF, but really don't need the extra 'horsepower' right now. Maybe when I get ?Duec Ex? it ...

My old Dell celery is running out of steam for my designs on Acad 2000i. My budget is allowing me to get a new system. It should rock for all my drawings and other work related stuff.

Hey russell12,

I had the same problems with my HP8200i internal CR-RW. WinME did not supports it so I got tons of errors when trying to read the drive. If I booted into the "DOS" shell in WinME (through the patch) it would see the drive with a directory command, but not be able to access the files ...

LoachDuke

Hey,

For 2d stuff get the 3DLabs GVX1.

Human skin, preferrably cured and dried. Oops, I mean check into the 3M pads that are available. Most stores don't sell em, but you'll find some online. I'm going to be lazy for once so you'll have to start searching from scratch.

Hey tokrz,

Take that link you gave and smoke it. If you don't go here " [skippitty.skapitty.com] then you shouldn't be online.

Hey emixnem,

Free:
Go to www.gamespy3d.com and get the program. It'll find you most good mulitplayer game server.
Or www.zone.com and download the software. Microsoft supports lots of older games and some new ones.

Pay:
Kali, Mplayer, ZonePremium, and some others.

Geez ...

LoachDuke

Why bang with a gang?

I find playing TFC with a clan to be slightly more entertaining than diahrea. Every one of them cry like little babies when they lose. And if they don't boot you because you're good, they disparage you with stupid tactics and spam. Besides, the best action is on public servers ...

LoachDuke

Nasty revised codecs. Some of my older games didn't work properly with Media Player 7. The AVI codecs were old and probably not properly supported by 7. (like Thief 2 and Swat 3). So get 6.4 and upload the codecs. All of em.

LoachDuke

Good god,

If you pay as much for softwarez as I do ($0.01)

you'd learn to use Fireburner for your ISO's. Its a small utility but I've not found a better one for copying and burning disk images. Good luck.

LoachDuke

Haha,

Media player 7 sucks so bad. I've got the 6.4 that comes with 98se, and download the codecs at codeczone to watch my moview. Runs real fast with no probs.

LoachDuke

Hey cooler1234,

Get a PDMCIA device and flash card. You can get 400Meg cards for about $70 canadian. You just need some software to read it.

LoachDuke

Hey magg,

They can't boot off someone unless they have a static IP, but anyways thats not how they do it. That would take time and money to find them.

WON will not recognize the copied key anymore, and will send you a new one if you have proof of purchase or registered the software.

LoachDuke

Win2000 eats more resources than 98/ME. Switch back for games, or get a 1Ghz processor.

LoachDuke

Buy the OEM stuff,

Retail comes with HSF, documentation and bundled software etc... for extra ca$h http://www.speedguide.net/ubb/frown.gif .

OEM comes in a plain box, or in the case of a CPU a clear box. You can buy the HSF for $10 anyways. If you need the documentation, just download the PDF's ...

ATA100 is available now, and is about the same price as ATA66.
The A7V board without the onboard sound chip, the bus/pci speeds can be modified with bios only and not dip switches; if all the bios dips are set to off.
The A7V bus speed can be modified from 100-133 I believe.
The A7V has a better ...

LoachDuke

Hey,

I've done it before. Hook up your tape deck to either the CD or microphone hookup in your soundcard and record it using whatever software you want (in WAV) format. I've found a few good programs to convert to MP3, and you can search for those. Try to get some good cables and minimize the noise ...

Personally, Fallout 1 or 2 used to have the best, cutting a mutant in half with the chaingun or smashing someones head off with the power fist was really gory and fun to watch; unitl SOF came out. Blowing some guys nuts out his ass with a snipe rifle is sooo cool, or removing his head with a shotgun ...

LoachDuke

if anybody thinks that I am missing out on new and improved microsoft treats

In my opinion you should stick with 98SE. I've tried WineMe on two completely different computer setups, and got the same problems. The program eats resources like crazy. Even if you have 256M ram, and plan to leave the ...

LoachDuke

Hey,

If you have WineMe and an ASUS A7V, do not install the ASUS device drivers or the Promise ATA-100 drivers. You will get nothing but hangs and bluescreen.

Anyhow, WineMe sucks a big fat cock. The doods at Microslob have taken a successful, though not perfect, Winblows 98SE and ****ed it up ...

Hey,

We're talking hooking this up to a home system right, under 20 meters right?

Save your cash, because its like running 10 guage gold-plated speaker wire between a lloyds amp and yorx speakers. It might make your system 0.01% more effiecient for data transfer with the good stuff here. Look into ...

Hey,

As I always say with this stuff regarding overclocking and heat dissipation, don't expect a miracle.

The best motherboard, a new fan and heatsink+compound will not cool a CPU by that much. The limits are all predictable, and have a lot to do with your existing setup.

The ambient temperature ...

Ok, so I buying stuff for my new system at home. The first CPU was bad, 2 motherboards were blown because of it. After a tedious week of getting that fixed it was time to play. But the mobo I bought (Asus A7V) didn't have the ISA slot to support my existing SB-64 AWE card. Dammit. I went out and got ...

LoachDuke

What are you afraid of?

Just throw it all in there and put a fresh install of you operating system on there. Geez, its not that hard, as long as your components are all working.

Now, if you do get problems just ask again and save yourself the time.

LoachDuke

CRoZZ,

I guess you don't know that you can crank up the PS/2 port to 200Mhz. If you think that is slow then life is a box of chocolates for you.

LoachDuke

Yeah, it works for the duron and athalon processors. Good review on that board on every site I visted. Totally a tweakers dream.

LoachDuke

I had the same problems with my older Logitech mouse. It meant I had to navigate Windows with the keyboard

Run a timedemo.

At the end of the demo it will display your average FPS.

I recommend you get 3Fingers "Crusher" demo map and see your FPS.
