    Power Supply Question

    Here's a picture of the Antec with the 4-pin connector on the back of the PSU: Antec True-430 I know someone already mentioned that they have this PSU and it doesn't have the connector, but I think they have modified all the PSUs in the True-XXX line recently to add this connector. If you look...

    Need sub-$500 comp for Everquest

    So nobody has any suggestions? I'm still looking, and I realize that the solution will probably be sub-optimal. I would have thought people here would have some good ideas.

    Power Supply Question

    Do you mean my old PSU, or the new one? The old one is definitely dying. I posted an earlier thread about that one, and we all agree it was dead. The new PSU definitely won't work- the 4-pin connector doesn't fit through though the hole in the back of my case. I could take a hacksaw to it-...

    Need sub-$500 comp for Everquest

    Hi folks- A friend of mine needs to buy a computer for Everquest for < $500 (not including monitor). Unfortunately building a machine is not an option. So far all the computers he's found have crappy onboard video (emachines, etc.) Anybody here have any suggestions? Does anybody make PCs...

    Power Supply Question

    Hey there folks- The PSU in my main rig recently died. I ordered an Antec True-430 for Newegg as a replacement, but it turns out I can't use it because it has an extra external 4-pin connector that doesn't fit in my case. Of course, even though it's been more than 30 days since I ordered it...

    Power Supply Problem

    Hey Folks- I've been having some trouble with my computer, but I think I've diagnosed the problem now, and am just looking for some confirmation here. I have a P4 1.6GHz @ 2.4 GHz stable for > 1year on an Enermax 430W power supply I think I've had for > 2 years. I just added a Geforce FX 5900...

    SHould i get the XFX 5900 nu over my BFG 5900??

    Huh, obviously you're right. I installed the card and the ref drivers and it shows up at 400/850 in Coolbits. Weird. Autodetect claims it can do 479/1000, but I have a hard time believing that ;) It'll be interesting to test out what it will actually do. Someone explained the picture in...

    SHould i get the XFX 5900 nu over my BFG 5900??

    I just bought the XFX 5900 during the buy.com deal and the default mem clock is definitely 850, NOT 800.

    What is equiv to my current card?

    Uh, no.... ti4800se is an AGP 8x version of the ti4400. It is clocked at 275/550 (core/mem) and the ti4200 is clocked at about 250/500. This is one rare case where the SE label does not mean the card totally sucks.

    For those on a budget, the gf4 4200 has no future! Only 20fps on MaxPayne2 with everything maxxed

    I would use your exact logic to argue that people should wait until games like HL2 are actually *OUT* to get the best bang for their buck. You really think that a 9600NP is the card of the future? I just upgraded from a Geforce 2 GTS this week, BTW :)

    Video capture quality/resolution

    Doesn't your camera have a USB or Firewire port? Wouldn't it give you the best quality to actually upload directly?

    Hey folks- I'd be interested in hearing about places where I can get the Rebel Strike bonus disk (with the old school vector Star Wars game) without preordering. I've read reports of it being available at Best Buy for $5, but so far I haven't been able to find it at my local BBs. Thanks!

    JAVA QUESTION

    What are trying to optimize? The bubbleSort or the timing of the sort? The standard optimization to bubble sort is to count the number of swaps made in the inner loop. If no swaps were made, then use a break statement to break out of the outer loop. Of course, you should be using quick sort.
