Newegg has the 32ddr and the 64sdr made by sapphiretech. Which should I get (price difference is a couple of dollars)? Are the sapphiretech cards any good? Thanks -shane

The main issue is that no manager at any store should ever insult a customer. Management should always take the 'high road.' That's why this guy is dead wrong. -shane

Okay, I figured out how to do this, so if anybody searches for this in the future: bozo is right, you have to use nero's 'bootable cd' feature. Select 'New..." then click 'CD-ROM (boot)' in the left pane, then click 'New' button. Then what you will need is your bootable floppy (in my case it...

I'm using win2000. I just realized that I can create a boot cd in nero, just had to nix the wizard and go to the main "New CD" dialog. -shane

Thanks, I'll try that. There's no floppy in that machine. Otherwise i wouldn't hassle with it. -shane

Does it shutdown okay? Or is it only when restarting? Flash the bios with the latest version. If that doesn't work, pull all the non-essential cards (everything but the video card) and try again. If it works, you know it's a problem with one of your cards. Plug them in one at a time, and...

Hey, I'm trying to flash the bios on a machine that has no floppy disk. How does one make a bootable cd that will work in the same manner as a floppy does for flashing the bios? Thanks all! -shane

Serious? Hmm, looks neat, but I do some launching at night too. If you have a lake handy, it's a blast to shoot fireworks into it. -shane

WOW! That's alot to chew on. Thanks! Well, I'm not sure what I should do. Another idea that I had was to add another 9v (which will bring me up to 4 x 7.2) and then just add a charging jack to it and charge them in series. You're right though, the 9v's are expensive. I found some on this...

Sounds cool! That gun is nothing compared to what alot of the other crazies around have. -shane

Coop, Right on! Thanks! Okay, first, here's a pic: gun That's the first pneumatic cannon I ever built. The bottom pipe is the chamber, the top is the barrell, the green thing on the left is the solenoid sprinkler valve, and the black box tie strapped to the side is the project box with the...

Here's something similar to what I have: link Maybe that will make more sense. The setup he's got at the bottom is cool too, but I have no idea how it works. It replaces the electric solenoid with a pneumatic trigger. Pretty cool. -shane

Thanks coop, Well, it does need to be very portable. My setup now is this: a small project box (2"x2"x4" approx.) with the 9v batts and a safety toggle switch and a momentary switch. I used to have a cool led that showed when it was armed, but somehow I thought that it might be sucking juice...

When you snipe an auction, you are supposed to bid the most you are willing to pay for it. Even when you snipe, you are still proxy bidding. The nice thing about sniping is that you know, very quickly, whether you've won or not. Sure, you're not going to win every auction, but you don't want...

Man, you have 512Megs and it's still that slow? Something's wrong. Try turning off all the window/animation effects and see if that changes anything. That's all I can think of. -shane
