The only problem i ran into with the Intellimouse Optical was that the wiring was a bit weak. I just wound up ripping it open and soldering the necessary leads, seems to work fine now...

OK although one thing is that using a NAT Firewall sort of negates one aspect of his cable modem service. If he's already flipping the bill to get 8 IP's using the NAT router basically leaves the 7 other ip's unused. I agree that the company should probably invest in at least a software based...

Of course there's always dual-booting. Most of my machines run some flavor of windows + either RedHat Linux or Debian GNU/Linux. Though that kind of labelling is short sighted, since for all they know you could be running x86 Solaris, or hell you could be running a Mac. :)

I think like most people i run mine at 200/460. Going higher on the core i do occasionally see little green specs.

I'm in the same boat, used several of the old Rage cards, then a TNT2 and now finally opted to upgrade and made the change to a GF3 Ti200. Visual quality could certaintly use work, but overall i'm pleased with my purchase. The only oddity i've found is a general design oversight in GF3's not...

Got 3 here myself. 1 laptop for travel/work, 1 main pc used for gaming, general purpose and a backup rig for linux and other misc server tasks.

I've been trying to determine if this is a definate design shift with the GF3 cards. The Det drivers (i think as early as the 6.xx) supported shifting the D3D Texel alignment for games that didn't use the default of 3 (HL in some instances, Falcon 4 etc). Currently I've tried adjusting that...

So initially i had no need for this info, but I was testing my GF3 Ti200 with Falcon4.0 (yeah yeah old game i know) and found a familiar problem with the D3D texel alignment. I went into the video card properties and tried to edit the D3D Texel Alignment. From what i can tell it did absolutely...

Generally speaking the latest UPS every delivered to my house in Oakland was about 5:30pm so i'd imagine they occasionally deliver as late as 6PM

For maximum protection I agree with BlakkIce. I actually splinter my lan into two segments. One which is only behind a hardware based firewall, behind this, there are mostly my DMZ machine and gaming rigs. For any work oriented machines i place them behind a linux based firewall (also behind...

Asides from the PSU I also tend to recheck the Wake-on-LAN settings in your bios. Barring that, check the motherboard for leaking/burst capacitors. I had a board which after a year of trouble free operation had 1 cracked capacitor that resulted in random restarts.

Actually on my old Abit BE6 II i had a simliar experience. The machine was randomly restarting, i did some poking around and did notice that one of the capacitors had begun leaking. For me though i think it may have been a total cooling issue. I'm in hawaii (the machine had been used mostly...

LOL, maybe its because the air is thinner up there (1ft higher) *snickers* in light of everything in the news this was a welcome laugh thnx Scootin

I actually miss the louder IBM keyboards. I think some of their cheaper IBM keyboards now don't have that "snap" and click that the old models did. Besides them the MS Natural keyboards are fairly quiet.

Actually i've had the same problem while moving all my gear (running out of esd bags I mean) Actually if you stop by like a CompUSA or any OEM reseller they'll usually give you a whole stack for free if you ask nice :)
