    New military weapon that breaks the bones of everyone on a battlefield?

    haha!! I suppose big microwave transmitters would/could do some damage too. or at least make everyone braindead. or a sharp, pointed stick? ....how about bananas? we haven't done bananas yet, have we?

    RAM...4x1 gig, or 4x512k? or 2x 1 gig?

    I know this *should* be obvious, but I'm wondering what the optimum RAM setup is? is there a trick to getting a combination that has largest capacity, but is fast/low latency? thx much!!

    what effect does it have on space-time...?

    ....if you fart, burp, and hiccup simultaneously? ps why is there a warning on Jello packages not to use pineapple? will it rip the fabric of the universe?

    Win98 - now with more worms

    fwiw I'm using w2k on a PII 400 & 256 megs ram with no problems....have been using it for 4 years or so. before that it was dual booted with NT4/w98 I'd think w2k would run faster than XP, and surely have all the drivers she'd need?

    ...buying a new system: graphics upgrade strategies?

    well, my trusty pentium II is still going strong, but I gotta say, I'm getting "the itch" something bad lately!! I do quite a bit of 3D & graphics work, but I want a killer gaming system as well. I can compromise to get a great gaming setup; I don't need a quadro/wildcat etc for home...
