    VGA Switch-box question

    I just had a quick question regarding the use of a generic VGA switch box (a simple two-plugs-in-one-plug-out setup with a manual dial). I am hoping to setup my Dreamcast with its VGA adapter and my regular computer (running an 8500 as the video card) to this box in order to have the ability to...

    How much should I be mad at myself for this RAID setup...?

    Yeah, that's a very similar card except that one has 2 channels, mine only has 1. I'm worried about how that will affect performance... :( EDIT: I'm ordering a 2 channel card tomorrow :( Oh well, live and learn...

    How much should I be mad at myself for this RAID setup...?

    Unfortunately in a bid to save money I purchased a single channel Highpoint 133 Rocket controller as opposed to the two channel version. I'm very tight on money and I was also not as educated as I would have liked to be about RAID when I made the purchase. How much of a performance hit will...

    Warcraft 3 locks up....

    I've been encountering the same problem (as I've noticed many, many people on various forums have as well). I suggest using a "hacked" executable temporarily until Blizzard releases a patch. It seems to fix the problem (I'm refering to the "no CD" hack).

    Need (urgent) help in selecting the correct Radeon 8500 card

    I will be attending a Market Pro computer show tomorrow and I'm hoping to purchase a Radeon 8500 card there. I would like to find the one that people are buying off of newegg for $99 but I'm worried that since there are so many other "flavors" of the 8500 I might pick the wrong one. Does...
