Krom and the others have excellent advice. I'll put in my two cents. I have been a faithful nVidia user for 5 years. For something reasonably current, I would suggest a Geforce 9800 or GTX 260 with 512MB of RAM at most. The GTXs are getting pretty cheap now. Don't waste your money buying something ...

Simply put, the Accord or the Camry. They are comfortable, reliable, dependable cars that will last to or past 300,000 miles when well cared for. I love Hondas, so I would recommend getting the Accord.

A 10 year old with an iTouch? No. I agree with you, Merlin. She is too young. I barely had my own computer (but no Internet) when I was that age.

This was somewhat humorous, but a little too ridiculous. If you took the time to do this, you have need to find something else to do with your time. Foil is right; it would have had more comedic value if you hadn't made it personal.

Hey folks in the midwest and beyond. A big winter storm swept the region, leaving the place coated in a beautiful blanket of white. Share your winter/snow photos! Here's a picture I took from the library of LSTC campus: http://zantor64.fs2downloads.com/images/Miscellaneous/snowy%20campus.jpg Dialup ...

The LS1 IIRC can chuck out somewhere near 500BHP.

Depending on what codec was used in that AVI file, you might be able to convert it to a format more widespread and compatible than what it's in right now. If I convert a video using Any Video Converter, I can choose one of about 5 or 6 formats in video, and one of 3 formats in audio for AVI.

The same to you, Kilarin, and to all colleagues here on the DBB.

Zantor

Yeah, that car can be a tuner. RX7s and certain Nissans have crazy power and are used for drifting and racing.

I like my Saitek Cyborg Evo. It has lasted me a good year and a half, but it doesn't see heavy use, so that might be why; if you get one, watch for sticky buttons (just comes with wear) and a hat wearing out; I had to replace mine thanks to a sticky button after 6 months, so I've actually had one ...

I didn't know that. <_< I haven't done a large amount of research; just enough to know what I'm looking for.

I thought this would be worth mentioning. If I am correctly informed, the PXO source code has been released to the FreeSpace community by Volition. If PXO were to be revived, it would benefit both D3 and FS2 if the service could be restored for both, even though FS2 has FS2Net to keep it going right ...

Get a D-Link. What specific model, I wouldn't know; I haven't done the research. I haven't liked Linksys since the started badging them with the Cisco name; they've gone downhill.

Welcome, Lord Scalgon.

That's a neat and mean little machine you have there. I want a Honda Prelude for my first car with either the F22 or H22 engine and a maual transmission. Personally I would get bang for my buck and grab a B18 or just go bawls to the wall with a K20. Still the H22 is a great motor. Oh, and thanks ...

Yup. That's how ya do it.

20GB is tiny for Win7. I suggest at least 30. It's just as bloated as vista. I ran the 32-bit RC back in June on an AMD Sempron 2.2 GHz. I suggest at least 2.0 in single core or 1.8 in dual core. I was able to get it to run with 1GB of RAM, and better than vista could function, but for best ...

To be specific, Newegg I use almost exclusively; TigerDirect I look at sometimes, same with ZipZoomfly; usually Newegg has the lowest price and I love their service. For laptop screens, SmartMicro USA. I have not found a 100% solid laptop parts vendor yet except for SmartMicro for screens.

Zantor

What exactly are you looking for? I have found laptop parts from a couple reputable vendors, while PC parts I usually get from Newegg or locally.

I'm aware of that; I'm registered on PD.net, too.

Hey, folks. I don't know how many people here use Avast Antivirus, but when I updated today, it reported a false positive in Skype. There is an article about this on DSL Reports: http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/The-Avast-Problem-105773 I thought I'd provide people with the heads-up so that they ...

RAID5 in an external array will probably be available in business or enterprise grade only, so you may be spending hundreds on an array enclosure. I suggest eSATA or gigabit Ethernet for the interface.

you can't currently buy any legal copy of Descent 3 that runs on Vista or Windows 7 by default Are you sure about this? :| Cause my pops plays it fine on his Vista PC, the first time he installed it. If I recall correctly, I was able to get D3 to run in the Win7 RC back in June. It ran fine, albeit ...

I has a new toy. My Toshiba I still have but is no longer in working condition at the moment.

I suggest an MSI GX630 . I found one for a friend of mine and he loves it. Athlon X2, 15.4\" screen, full keyboard, 3GB of RAM, big hard drive, but unfortunately it has vista. It's a solid, light computer (I'd say 5-6 pounds or less) and runs well. Don't get me wrong. That ASUS looks like it would ...

Android is not proprietary and restrictive like the iPhone OS. That's one of the primary reasons I like it. It does have its drawbacks that any OS would have, but they're things I can handle, mostly because I like Google, use their services, and have a relative who works for them.

Zantor

Yup; that's why I like the Droid. Google Android is one of the best phone OSes I've seen, and it is UNIX-based and very efficient.

Zantor

Did you shoot those photos? That's awesome work.

Zantor

That is totally awesome. Yet another movie to look forward to.

Zantor

I would say go for Jumpgate Evolution and get FreeSpace 2.

Zantor

What're you lookin for?

I have stayed away from Twitter and Facebook so I don't get caught up any more into the information exchange hype that already exists. I'll make do with email and instant messaging.

Personally, I'm not fond of the HP dv series. I've had to service two of them and finding drivers for XP is a ★■◆●, and they are the oddest put together laptops I have worked with to date; I had to replace the screen on a dv6915nr. I suggest getting an MSI, ASUS, or something else not HP or Dell.
