I just received the Hercules 3d Prophet 8500 128 Mb card from newegg. On the box, it says "RAMDAC: 400 Mhz" . However, when I look at the Adapter properties in Windows XP, it says: "Internal DAC(350 Mhz)". Can someone please explain the discrepancy? All the documentation I could find...

it's actually better to have an offset workout schedule...that way, you can work out more, and not run the risk of overtraining, which causes injuries. such a schedule would include a 3-day rotation, followed by 1 day of resting. so it could look like M: back+triceps, T: chest+biceps, W...

tweak, spring break is only one week, but you can do it by summertime, which is a lot more important if you want to look good on the beach. it's a good idea to run in the morning and the evening, but it's more effective when you run on an empty stomach, because your body goes straight to the...

likewise, i'm losing weight naturally. tweakmm, i don't think that 1.5 months is realistic for 1/2" of fat. There are lots of resources out there for healthy weight loss. It includes a combination of aerobic exercise (running, etc) in the morning, on an empty stomach, and weight training...

NateX, can you outline what you did in those 1.5 months??? Thanks.

i cured the problems with my sleep cycle. signed up for classes this semester, making the earliest class I have on any given day at 2 pm. no more alarms. no insomnia. no matter how late i go to bed, i always have enough time to sleep, and don't miss lectures.

mute. i don't use teh phone feature on AIM anyway ;)

i have recently started training for a marathon, and having done a lot of research, would have to say that nutrition has a *lot* to do with your endurance. try to eat a meal high in carbohydrates 2 hours before you run, as well as drink water, or a Gatorade or PowerAde before/while running...

i plugged in another power supply and it worked. i bought this PSU from openlinx.com and apparently they are rated *very poorly* for returns. Do you think there's a chance I can call my credit company (Visa) and complain? Is there some sort of protection, if they start wanting to charge me...

I just built a system with the following specs: Gigabyte GA-7DX mobo with Athlon XP 2000+. 512 MB (2x256) DDR PC2100 ECC, Registered RAM PS: Enermax 365P-VE 350W the rest is pretty much irrelevant to the question. I press the power button, and nothing happens. None of the fans starts...

actually i think i heard a variant of that in one of jerry seinfeld's skits...that fear of public speaking is #1, followed by fear of death. =). anyway, i had a fear of public speaking in high school, but noticed that a) if i really knew what i was talking about, things were easier, and b) it...

i can envision numerous comical scenarios where i would *not* want to be hooked up to a computer which read my mind =). how often do you think "i wish this computer would die." what if it did, to obey?

what do you mean by black friday at best buy? is that card available for $99 every friday? only at B&M? sorry...kind of new to the terminology. thanks
