    Apple no longer a graphics powerhouse?

    I'm a Mac user because I prefer the Mac OS to Windows, and I like Apple notebooks. Macs have fallen behind in performance, but that's no suprise. The G4 was competitive with Intel and AMDs offering when it was first released, but it took Motorola 18 whole months to come out with anything...

    ATI stinks - ok ATI doesnt stink, just a little smelly, but my CD ROM drive did stink (Hi Val) haha

    Boy, each Radeon must have a different personality. Jad's is picky about which games it likes to play, Apoppin's is terrified of Win2K (You guys probably scared it with your bad driver stories), and mine is my bitch. It does whatever I tell it to do, or ELSE. (Ever see that Maximum PC article...

    ATI stinks - ok ATI doesnt stink, just a little smelly, but my CD ROM drive did stink (Hi Val) haha

    Ah, Jad. You have your 600MHz Celeron overclocked at 900MHz? That can cause problems. Did you try downloading Raid-On tweaker and clearing your Radeon's registry? Are you using the Award BIOS? Make sure you disable AGP Master 1 WS Read and AGP Master 1 WS Write for stability reasons. (These...

    O wise ones...Advice for an Upgrade from a TNT2

    I love my Radeon. Gaming has never been better. :)

    Looking for best AGP video card for clear crisp 2D dispaly ... no gaming needed

    I'd go with a Radeon AIW or G450 (If you have dual displays). I'm not sure which offers the best 2D (The AIW has fastest 3D), just DON'T go nVidia. :)

    Raid-On Tweaker v4.1

    Raid-On Tweaker is great! I like it alot better than that display tab one. It's easier to use, and offers more settings. :) BTW. I have my 32MB DDR Radeon with memory and core running at 183MHz. I found that asynchronus overclocking decreased my performance. Anyone else see this?

    About that pencil trick...

    Lead conducts better than lead Ku? ;) War, I think you're right about pencils not containing lead, so that shouldn't be an issue. :) Now I'm just waiting on my FOP38. :D

    Poll: What resolution do you use in 3D games? (with poll)

    My Radeon pulls 75fps in Q3 at 1024X768, which I run most games at. I can go higher, but there's really no point. I still see as many jagged lines at 1024X768 as I do in 1600X1024. The 50% frame drop isn't worth the small quality increase. HRAA is the answer, but there is no way in hell I'm...

    It may not be a software problem, Jad. ATI has shipped lemons in the past. Their quality assurance tests can't catch every bug. :(

    About that pencil trick...

    Thanks guys! I think you may have the conductive properties of graphite and lead mixed up Zero. I know graphite is VERY conductive. If you pass an electric current through graphite it becomes extremely hot and produces a VERY bright light. I haven't heard of lead possessing strong conductive...

    About that pencil trick...

    What type of pencil should I use? Will a standard #2 work? :)

    Poll: Which is the best OS in your opinion?

    I would say Mac OS X, but the final version doesn't ship until the 24th, and I've only used the beta. Still, it beats Windows and Linux. Oops! Now I'm gonna get slamed. :(

    They'd better produce decent Win2K drivers by the time WinXP ships, or they're screwed. :(

    Glyde For Ge-force 3?

    I'll take OpenGL over DX7 any day. It's faster, less buggy, and produces better looking images. DX8 may be different, but we'll have to wait and see. I'd like OpenGL to stay. It'll insure that games continue to ship for other operating systems like Linux or Mac OS. Wouldn't Microsoft be happy if...
