Ummm, I think that covers it... so yea, just your primary computer, I could turn this into a 40 page novel if I went into everything as I am sure a number of you could as well.

Rotarydragon 05-07-2002 08:39 AM

40 pages is about right, especially if you count all my old systems and old video game system collection.



Currently:



500mhz P III

256mb RAM

40 GB UDMA 66 HD

12 GB UDMA 33 HD

Kenwood True Speed CD

SB Live

phinsup 05-07-2002 08:45 AM

LOL, yea like I say, I know there are a lot of us that could be here writing all night and still leave out a bunch of stuff.



On a side not I had a 3com NIC die on me yesterday... never had a problem with them and it just puked... oh well.



Yea also, all you guys running Win XP and NVidia video cards there is a download from NVidia.com to fix the constant reboot/blue screen error.



Oh yea and I have some 64 Meg Gforce or something like that Video card. I will be buying the Matrox dual head soon!!!

Dual head is nice, I had it running dual 21"-ers at my old job, that was a pretty sweet setup. Pretty crappy for playing games tho...

MAC OS X rocks, if I could afford it I would have a G4 and for graphics there is no other system to even consider...



Does that surprise you?

serpent12 05-11-2002 01:55 AM

No, it doesnt surprise me



OSX does rock, very stable and awesome graphical interface.

It seems apple finally has clinched back that niche' of the market again (graphics), but we will have to wait and see!
