    Cute little math puzzle

    Here is the formula to finding the answer to a generalized version problem: n! ----------- (n-k)!n^k , with n being the number of jelly beans and k being the number of flavors, in this case 49. It really becomes confusing when you throw in that there is an equal number of flavors...

    Is there a formula to figure this out?

    The answer is what gbuskirk said; I'll try to rephrase a little better. For some number n, the answer is 2[n-(2^x)], making 2^x as large as possible while being less than (but NOT equal to) n. i.e., n=16: 2[16-(2^3)] = 2*(16-8) = 16, which is the right answer. Basically starting from...

    USB 2.0 to RJ-45 converter

    There is a Linksys one that I bought for mine that runs fine. I paid $30 for it 6 months ago at Wal-Mart, but only because I didn't have time to priceshop.

    Like I said, I didn't want to offend anybody. And I'm fairly certain most people didn't read my entire post and just assumed what it was going to be about. I didn't spam my referral link, but just tried to provide a way for people to get these items, since all the ones offered by Gratis or...

    Which Video Card to buy ($200 or less)

    If you would be willing to spend a little bit more, you should pick up the BFG 6800OC from outpost.com for $249 (if its still in stock). Also CompUSA had the PNY 6800nu on their site recently for $230 with a $30 MIR. A 6800nu beats both those cards hands down, and you also take the chance of...

    Which budget card should I get?

    GF4 Ti4200 would be a great card for a budget, seeing as you can probably get one in the FS/FT forum for around $50 or $60. Just my 3 cents.

    Putting together a system for a friend...

    I think its going to be hard to get all of that for $350, but I'll give my input for a good budget system that should run whatever you throw at it. Athlon XP 2500+ (~$90) Shuttle AN35N Ultra Motherboard (~$60) 2x256 Mushkin PC2700 Level II Dual Pack 2-2-2 Timings ($~95) Western Digital...

    Best SFF for Socket A set up?

    I have a smiliar setup in an Antec Aria, except with a 6800nu and a PATA 120gb hdd instead. The Aria runs quiet normally, but it does run a little hot. I ended up cutting a hole in the side and installing a 80mm case fan, which really helped with temps a good bit. I'm not too familiar with...

    My Antec ARIA case mod!

    I bought one and did the same mod on mine. Currently I have a 2400+ mobile @ ~2.1ghz with a Speeze hsf and a PNY 6800. I also have the slot fan that came with the case, as well as like a Speeze 80mm fan. CPU idles around 32c and full load around 42 or so. Definitely a good idea to mod it.

    Biostar M7NCG 400 Problem

    Before I decided to take everything out, I tested my RAM with another stick, and got the same results. Then I took my PCI sound card out and boom, everything worked. Then I threw my 6800 in, and boom, that worked too. Then I threw the soudn card back in and BOOM that worked too! There we go...

    Who got the PNY 6800 for $200 on Black Friday?

    I HAD a 9800Pro, before it died on me this summer. Since then I have been without a desktop computer (other than the 3 days I had a 6800GT before I realized I needed the money more) and am quite happy to have one working again.

    Who got the PNY 6800 for $200 on Black Friday?

    I set my alarm to get up at like 4:30 and go wait to get one, but just couldn't get up. So I slept in and got up at 10. Sat around for a couple of minutes and was like, "Hey, I got nothing to do.". So I drove over to the nearest CompUSA just to see if they had one and what do you know? They...

    PNY 6800NU Still At CompUSA

    For those of you wanting to get in on the PNY 6800NU deal at CompUSA for $199 but just couldn't get up early this morning (like me), they still have some left at the CompUSA on Cobb Parkway in Marietta. I woke up around 10 and decided, what the hell, I'll drive over there and see if they still...

    How about PNY Geforce 6800 128M AGP?

    Hmm, quite interesting indeed! To quote from the article, "In 3Dmark05 X800 plain is suppose to end up around twenty five percent faster than Nvidia 6800 twelve part counter part." Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but 25% increase for a card costing the same is pretty significant. Now, any...

    GF 6800NU vs ATI Radeon 9800 Pro

    I'm sure the 9800 pro is 256-bit, otherwise its definitely quite cold. And if you can get the 6800 for $199, its definitely a much better deal than the 9800pro, especially when you throw in the possibility of unlocking the 4 pipes on the 6800. And the last time I checked, 8 more pipes for $50...

    $200 Compusa PNY 6800 good for me?

    If you're planning on playing at 10x7 with no AA/AF, then this card should be fine for you. I'm not sure how well it overclocks, but I've read that people have unlocked the extra four pipes pretty easily. And even if you have problems with the rebate at CompUSA, getting it at $230 (price...

    AHHH! 6600GT AGP back to $245

    Fried 9800 pro?

    Yes, I backed up the original BIOS. My main question is how to flash it back. I mean, I know how to flash it, but whenever the 9800 pro is in my computer my computer won't POST. Even when I have a PCI card in with the monitor cable hooked to the PCI slot, it won't post. I'm assuming that I...

    9600 Pro $54.96 at Circuit City with no rebate
