If you're buying the chip from an online shop, they should tell you what version core it is. I know Newegg does.

Mr. Perfect

You mean Window Blinds? One of their documents said Window Blinds is more efficent then the built in XP skinner, but I don't remeber where it was on the site.

Mr. Perfect

Hey, it's KompresZor.

When's the most easy going player gonna be back in DC?

Mr. Perfect

Dunno where you got those pin outs, but people are using 20 pin PSUs to power 24 pin boards. Both with and without the converters.

The sub thread Radical linked to goes into more detail.

Mr. Perfect

The Nforce 4 DFI foards are 24 pin.

I think they can also use a ATX 12v powersupply by plugging in the 20 pin connector and the 4 pin auxilary conector next to it. Someone else might know for sure.

Mr. Perfect

Dual cores will mostl likely be in June . A BIOS update will be required for Venice. Oh, and everyone be sure to switch to Intel. Cause like Ace says, you don't have to worry about what CPUs you can use in your socket. Each CPU has it's own fuckin socket, so you just buy a new mobo ever time you upg...

Mr. Perfect

The episode where they blow up the cement mixer scores many points as well. The truck was there. Then it wasn't. Nuf said.

Mr. Perfect

Tax for CA and NJ.

I'm not sure, but I think it's always 99 cent shipping on the beta site. www2.newegg.com

I second that.

Mr. Perfect

Shows like Mythbusters are definelty the reason we have TV. American Chopper on the other hand, I might watch more often if each episode didn't follow the same pattern. They pick a bike to build, people lag behind, Paul Sr. yells a bit, and the bike get's finished. Just show me the starting design a...

Mr. Perfect

I'd definetly like to see it after you've played with the textures some more. When I look past the stangely bumpmapped texture I can see a very detailed model, especialy considering you did it all by hand. The texture on the other hand looks like a flat shade of grey with alien lines deviding patche...

Mr. Perfect

Can you drop the video card back to 9500 speeds? Perhapse it's starting to have problems with the overclock. You should probably try dropping everything back to defualt speeds if anything else is OCed.

Mr. Perfect

No, it does not. The Athlon 64's memory controller can address 266/333/400MHz memory. I don't rember seeing 200Mhz mentioned before, but I probably ignored it if it was. The 333 will be considerably slower then 400, but should work. BTW, is that the 2-2-2-5 HyperX? Those sticks where made out of the...

Mr. Perfect

Definetly try a spare CPU and PSU before buying anything. Unless your CPU and PSU are both going at the same time, then it sounds a bit like the mobo is dieing.

Mr. Perfect

Egads, sigs! That really is old...

Mr. Perfect

I see nothing majorly wrong with that site. It's not dificult to navigate, and the layout of information in the right hand section is easy to read. My only complaint is that it's so narrow that it requires no horizontal scrolling on a 640x480 17"(I checked, curiosity got the better of me). Do y...

Mr. Perfect

Thats fucked up.

Epesiacly if it isn't exagerated.

Mr. Perfect

Any idea if you could sell the old system to someone? Even if you only got a few hundred for it, it would easily cover a high end PSU and the gig of ram.

Mr. Perfect

It's the socket change that allows the 939s to be clocked 200MHz slower. Socket 754 has single channel memory, while Socket 939 has dual channel memory. I thought you where saying a 90nm 939 chip could match a 130nm 939 chip 200MHz faster or something bizare like that. Once again, as far as air cool...

Mr. Perfect

The P4 Fatality was simply one of their high end P4 boards with a couple extra options and a ★■◆● load of LED lights on it, so I never bothered to look at the Athlon Fatality board. Probably the same situation. Mostly just a lot of bling at an increased cost. I would go with a 3200 or 3500 s939 90nm...

Mr. Perfect

So how can I compare processors from amd and pentium for speed besides going to tom's hardware or something? You can't. Not really. Sure, a 3400+ supposedly matches a 3.4GHz P4, but in practice the model numbers simply don't work out that way. For example, when Anandtech ran all the recent CPUs thr...

Mr. Perfect

Except flakes. Better change it.

Zounds! You're right! The cloak was one of the key innovations in Descent! It's not like any other games had such a thing before Descent.

What's really got me is the whole Flu thing. You gennerally just think of the flu like a nasty cold, but to think that you can die from it at 23? Unreal...

Mr. Perfect

You don't have to be paranoid to benefit from that information. If we can all reclaim about 2 gigs of drive room then it's pretty damn usefull, if you ask me.

Well that definatly takes up more than one command window.

Mr. Perfect

That's actually kinda creapy.

why couldnt the guy just use the previous user's login and password for the account that corresponds to the serial number? Just delete his characters if he didnt want em. That's how I understand it works with a used copy. And how is he supposed to know what that account and password is? If he had a...

Mr. Perfect

Lol. If you watch the -4x, you can see the non-boost car pass the flaming wreckage of the rocket car and beat it to the finish line.

Mr. Perfect

Saw that years ago. I wonder what the song is...

Mr. Perfect

Yeah, they just have to pay for it.

Mr. Perfect

Most quiet cases don't have sound deading mats in them. In general your noises come from a few main things like motors(fans, drives), turbulance from the fans, and vibrations. By decoupling your drives and fans you can eliminate quite a bit of noise from the vibrations, and good quiet cases(Antec So...

Mr. Perfect

Great. Thanks for the help.

Mr. Perfect

The site says that submissions should be TGA files, but arn't they going to be converted to .ogfs anyhow? I have ship logos already in the 64x64 .ogf format, could I submit those?

Please tell me that pun was intentional.

Mr. Perfect

It's kinda out. The 1.5 people are using is the old PC-only beta.

Mr. Perfect

I thought it was generally understood that the whole show was gay.

Mr. Perfect

Heh. The 9800 XT even get's edged out a little by the 6600 GT, and the 6800 GT is easily twice as fast as a 6600GT. I would have jumped on a 6800 GT ASAP if they wheren't so damn expensive. This time last year you could buy the second-rung 9800 Pros for $200 flat, but the X800 Pros and 6800 GTs are ...

Mr. Perfect

Never played in "the shop", but if you're installing D1 you'll need D1X to get it to run properly on new PCs.

Mr. Perfect

So either nobody here's a packrat, or all your dead fans are solid black and/or LED lit?

Mr. Perfect

Back in the day, I was trying to disable my on-board video so I could install a V3 2000. I called up tech support and was told I cold find the disable jumper on the motherboard "next to the thing that looks like a six-pack". Aparently that's all his schematic had to go on. I suspect that's...
