http://www.vonage.com/ They offer unlimited local and long distance in the US and Canada for $39, using your broadband internet. Seems cool enough...but having never heard for them, or anything like this, I wonder how legit this is and how good the quality of the conversation actually is. If...

I see...so you activate it during installation then? And I would assume that it gathers info about the hardware you have in your computer. Basically a secruity feature to keep from the same copy (or CD-Key/Serial #) being installed on multiple PCs? This makes sense. For the most part, replacing...

I don't have Windows XP, but have messed with it...and like it. And would like to update to it from Win98. But I've heard that with the standard Home/Professional versions that you have to register them, and that if you change more than five pieces of hardware in your computer that it locks you...

I just installed the nVidia 43.45 drivers...and now my desktop "scrolls". I use a resolution of 1280x1024 on a CTX VL700 17" monitor.....this is what I used before. But now the desktop scrolls vertically up and down....so that my top row of icons and my taskbar can't be on screen at the same...

My area doesn't have DSL or Cable...so for the time being I'm stuck with Dial-Up....as if that wasn't bad enough, I can only connect at 28.8k. There are two options in the area though, one is satellite that uses dial-up for the send signal, and the satellite for the return. I've heard these are...

Matrox was who I was thinking of as well, and is probably my number one choice. How is their driver support with WinXP?

I'm going to be building a system that will be used for graphics design, and want a video card that has great 2D quality (3D performance is negligble) and has the ability to hook up at least two monitors to it. It also needs to support 1600x1200@75 for either monitor. Anyone have suggestions?

Thanks for all the info guys....I've decided that I'll likely go with Java + Swing as the development platform. So long as I can figure it out :)

Thanks for all the info guys. m0ti: Plan on doing a search for that PDF right away, thanks! glugglug: That's true I suppose, but you still have to target a platform with C++ right? Whereas with Java you can just code it and let the JIT compiler handle platform specific stuff. Now if you don't...

Alot of work? That shouldn't be too much of a problem really. Anyone have any recommended reads on Java programming? As I've said....I've messed with it a little, but nothing as far as GUI goes and little more beyond "Hello world" style apps. Any sources would be much appreciated. Atheras

I'm in the design stages of a program that I'd like to be able to have cross-platform capability, but I'm not sure what my options are for the programming language. I'm experienced with Visual Basic, but that's obviously not a cross-platform language (even if it is powerful enough to do what I...

Ok...I joined the team. One last question...what's the HTML to put in the Team AnandTech logo into my "quote" area like you have BGod? Would like to set that up.

Hmm...where do you find the MAC number? Is it printed physically on the card, or is there a way to access the number via windows? Foolish questions perhaps...but my knowledge of networking has never really gone beyond sharing Dial-Up with three PCs.......never used a router, or messed with...

My own preference would be to do just that, have a router, or at the very least a stand-alone hub. The "Hub Card" was something that a friend brought up, he said that where he works they have a "hub card" that has a line going into it. I'm not 100% sure what the heck he means, or honestly if he...

Thanks! Will do that as soon as my stats show up on the Distributed.net statlist. I already configured the client to use the teamanandtech proxy, I hope that's ok? Not sure how much help I'll be....I've got two AMD Duron 900 pcs that are running the client, and a AMD K6-2 450 that's running it...
