Switzerland!

Vermont has the loosest gun control law in the US.ANY US citizen can carry a weapon there.
Amazingly,Vermont also has one of the lowest rates of crimes comitted with a gun,per capita,in the US,even though they border NY.Go figure.
It's interesting to note that Australia,which banned ownership of ...

LOL! Let's all duel in Airwarrior

I'm up.A friend of mine showed me the site...I'll never go back there again,lol.

Humboldt,I have no children.The herbicide incident I am referring to involves my extremely bitter neighbor who has nothing better to do than scream at the neighborhood children.
He decided that my circular saw was too loud(I was doing work at 4 pm on a Wednesday).After I chased him off,I told him ...

Blaming society,or playing the race card in ANY incident like that is laughable.No one but the little bas**** who pulled the trigger is responsible.Let him take responsibility for his action.
I grew up poor,parents seperated,and had access to guns if I really wanted one.Not once did it go through ...

Kill some of your neighbors' Rose Bushes with Round-Up....it worked for me.

If you installed W2K AFTER you installed the burner,you may need to update your firmware for the burner.Go to the manufacturers website and see if there is an update.It's just like flashing the bios for your motherboard.

No.AGP4X is simply the potential throughput(speed)that the Videocard and motherboard may put out.
What version of windows are you running-and how much ram do you have?

Sox is a cool name.

His benchmark is low because of the Voodoo 3000 card.If he benchmarked the original TNT,it would be similar.But it would still be better than the Voodoo,because it supports 32bit,and the Voodoo 3000 doesn't.3dmark isn't a commercial for Nvidia-it's just telling him that his card is obsolete,lmao ...

I used to get the same bs o' death.Could never figure out why I would.Last week I ugraded to a new harddrive(reformatted,reinstalled WinSE),updated my flash bios,and put in a brand new power supply.It hasn't happened since.
Not sure if that cured the problem,or if it sneaked off all on it's own,lol.

I'd check with Compaq.Just a guess,but it sounds like a proprietary PS.You may need to buy one from them...

Boating,skiing(water and snow),football,and Nascar.And of course,my best friend Sox(my Golden Retriever German Shepherd mix).

He can't use 32bit resolution with the Voodoo III,it only supports up to 16bit.At the time,the TNT2 DID support 32 bit,which was the beginning of the end for 3DFX....

This is just a possibility,but you may need more memory.When windows runs out of memory,it uses the hard drive.
Have you checked your systems' virtual memory?If it's the default(let windows pick)and you only have 32megs of ram,it will access the HD a lot.
This is only an idea,it's hard to diagnose ...

I go there almost every year to ski.I've been in Denver,and most of the Summit county resorts(Copper Mountain,Breckenridge,etc)and Steamboat.
It's gorgeous country;I plan to retire there eventually.
Altitude can take a while to get used to(this may apply more to the resort areas as they are higher).

Question-do routers help performance?I'm getting DSL soon,and I am not going to network(at least not now)and I'm not planning to set up a server.
I've seen a lot of posts that people here use routers instead of software,and I was wondering if it helps speed,or ping times.
Sorry if this is a stupid ...

Turn it off at the end of the night.Your computers biggest enemy is heat,and they run hot even when at rest.
I built my system for gaming,so it has two additional slot fans to keep things cool,and I still turn it off.
Also,when left on for extremely long periods of time,windows tends to leak ...

It SHOULD work,but remember that that will make your entire system FSB run at 100mhz.
I'd consider getting at least 128 megs pc133,and selling or giving away the old ram.Go to www.pricewatch.com you can get pc133 128megs for about $40.

Thanks all-I appreciate the input.

Next week,I will FINALLY be able to get broadband.I can choose between Earthlink DSL,or Roadrunner cable.
My question is,which would be better for gaming(ping times especially)?
Any help,or comments would be appreciated.Right now I'm considering flipping a coin,lmao.

Thanks for the input-here is some more info if it helps.
Dsl distance to co is less than 15000 feet.1.2 down cap,384 up cap.It's $39.95 a month with a $99 setup fee.
The cable is Roadrunner,$39.95 a month.
Everyone I know who has RR loves it.Everyone I know who has DSL loves it,lol.
Is either ...
