On AGP 8x: AGP 4x is almost never saturated, even whith an 8x card in a 4x slot, or the other way around. Also, the only boards that have 4X slots will not run very fast by themselves(or their components; CPU/RAM) and will then bottleneck your system above the AGP slot. The reason 8x boards...

On the topic of saving power: almost all computers have features to trun down/off HDDs, CDROMs. Also, CPUs consume power relative to their use; someone constantly running a benchmark will use up far more power than the same person with the computer idle, or even more so asleep. Also, CPUs...

*waits for ention of Deu Sex* Amazed it hasn't been menitoned yet. Also, the fallout graphs should include all the side-bars.

There we go. Happy new year, all. A little premature, yoiu foolish easterner!

The Producers An ad for the capitol steps from NPR . After listening to said pogram, I must recommend this to all... Decent headphones an Altec Lansing 5.1 speaker set... Unimaginable how much better this sounds versus my old set. 154 kilos... of dust (my kitchen/...

Define "debates". Fox is defined here.

I used to have a boot screen (XP, of course) that was incredibly 'falloutty". It had a trio of toxic waste buckets and a rusted metal floor. Can't seem to find it anymore. Does anyone here have it? (or another falloutty image could suffice)

*Seconds the 6600GT* Wit hregard to the 9800Pro/9700Pro: On this, like almost all other cards, is not really affected by memory capacity. The 9800Pro 128 is almost dead even with the 9800Pro 256. Yet, the 256 costs much more! Solution: don't buy the 256MB version

Sorry dark, but I get incredibly tired of people who don't plug the power into a piece of electronics and get angry when it doesn't work properly. If you did indeed install it properly, then you have my apologies. BTW: The molex connection is the kind that goes into floppy, CD, hard disk...

So, being thanksgiving, I was asked to begin making a chrismas list. When I have mine made up I'll post it, but in the mean time, you can post yours.

Linuz support, while dear to my heart (for obvious reasons), is somewhat of a side issue. I've found it more fruitful to run dual boot, mandrake and XP. XP for games, mandrake for all else. Both companies have had driver issues. With both companies trying to rush out DirectX support, better user...

*TWITCH* Now I need therapy all over again! Damnit! I had a celeron 2.6. Oddly enough, my P4 1.5 killed it at everything, especially gaming. As such, I can vouch for the doritos explanation: "Take a bag of chips, smash it, stick a "50% more chips inside!" label, and you have a celeron!" See...

I plan to get it this afternoon, hopefully my 9700Pro can handle it in it's true glory...

I'm ba-aaaaack. I've spent all 6 minutes of free time I've had in the last 2 weeks working in conjunction with a few friends to get a website up and running, seen here. Anyways, I did the forums, so I'm awfully proud of myself, and happy to abuse admin rights.[/url]

I'm about to upload my new avatar, got it under the 30K limit, but it's still too bid in size (pixel) constraints. It doesn't affect the side-bar, so hopefully the mods/admins won't mind. If you guys do, please PM me, or post it, please.

*Waits six months, and replies* Just wondering guys, what's gravedigging?

That is very funny. Ha. Ha. Ha-ha.

*Waves hand over head to signify something moving very quickly over it* ZING! Really though just rate my old avatar and, subsequently, my cheesy photoshot job on it.

Jebus(not jebus the member, jebus the diety), it was just a speeling erorr. I meant that the chances are so small that for all practical purposes they are nonexistent.

If it's that bad why not run a RAID array, that way your chances of loosinging data are infintismal.
