If you bother to integrate everything, why not include the RAM? It will hardly complicate things over a die with everything on it except for the RAM. Right, it's not the intellectual effort, it's the economics. Memory sticks contain multiple chips, and integrating even a modest amount of RAM (say ...

Using RAW is wise, using RSE wisest. Follow linky to RSE/Essentials - free & better than PhaseOne's payware CaptureOne/LE, which I own.

I've had a 300D (DRebel original) since September '03 and love it. I'd recommend the new XT version without reservation - ALTHOUGH, if you're really on a budget you might consider an original 300D at closeout pricing. I shoot mostly landscape & use pBase for online sharing: http://pbase.com ...

I just re-installed D3 this week - first time I've been in the mines in a coupla years. What a treat it is to see the "tired old" missions after a long hiatus!

Another Texan...

I'm in Austin. Descent3 doesn't even work on my current computer, sadly, even though it's a pretty vanilla Athlon XP 2800+, 1GB memory, tired old Nvidia Ti4200 w/latest drivers, and WinXP SP2.

I miss D3 immensely & wish everyone a Happy 2005.

McLard

states avenue I'm addicted to steak egg and cheese bagels with a large O.J. That's about 900 calories or nearly half of the daily allowance for an average male. It includes 50% of your day's fat allowance, 90% of your day's cholesterol, and over 60% of your day's sodium. 118g of carb's, too (low ...

My lag & packet loss on AOL/TimeWarner Roadrunner here in Austin, TX has worsened considerably lately. Techs have been out to monitor & adjust transmit/receive levels and do firmware patches to my cable modem, but it's still much worse than 6 months or a year ago. I monitor wassup with PingPlotter ...
