You also might want to wait till PCI Exprees becomes the new standard and replaces AGP8X. Like DesignCaddy said, there is also the 64bit processors.

I was just trying to help out some. I wouldn't buy a Dell, when you could build one cheaper, upgradeable and better for less. Especially in that price range. And Dell support is like any other support if you know what I mean Better off going to a (this) forum.

I say you should build one. You definitely can build a better one cheaper plus upgradeable. If I had that money at hand, I certaintly wouldn't buy a Dell.

Man you love to break balls. Just salty about your Chiefs? Eagles will beat Carolina, no doubt. New England is my second favorite team...can't

Rainlendar and transparency? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Is there a way to change the transparency a Rainlendar skin? Maybe through Windows or some 3rd party software? I also posted this at their site.

Yeah I wouldn't spend over $200 right now, with the next gen. cards and PCI express (replacing AGP 8X) in the near future. Plus with the 9600XT I got (will get) Half Life 2 for free.

I don't take it personal in the leat, preferences in Hardware and such is a silly thing to be worked up about...ATI verse nVidia is about the same thing as MAC verse PC in the end... I hear ya--I'm no ATI fanboy. Up until now, everything has been Nvidia, but now I got a 9

What are you talkin about? Both cards are basically the same price. And show me the performance difference in DX9 benchmarks. They're basically neck and neck in the link you showed me.

22 by IPlural - 1/10/2004 1:02:40 AM Well considering and what I was commenting upon was the higher end cards, not the little 9800 or the little 5950 but the workstation cards. ATI does not come close to nVidia *OR* Matrox in that class... deesh... <TD

The 6th option 'Zero' shouldn't be there. You're talking about selling a premium package and of course the majority would choose 'nothing'. Why pay, when you can get it for free? See what I'm sayin?

Werewolf you do not have a problem. #14 by Sir Tech Cat - 1/3/2004 5:06:10 PM Actually they charge money to repair your XBOX even if it is still under "warrenty". I hear it takes months before you get your XBOX back. 99% of all XBOXs are malfunctioning with all those disc read errors. Well, before they were doing it for free, but

Well I believe all three drives would read Memorex CD-RWs and one drive would read other CD-RW brands and some CD-Rs. There is a way to tell what brand drive by a number (before you buy) and also the design of the drive itself. I think one of the newer drives reads both CD-R and CD-RWs--there was a big discussion on it and so many people say so many different things. [Message Edited]

Get the Xbox Music Mixer thing and you can transfer MP3s from your pc to your Xbox--requires XP. http://www.xbox.com/en-us/musicmixer/ [Message Edited]

Reply to x-box recognition of CD-R in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

If anything, it will read cd-rw. There are three types of drives: Thompson, Samsung and something else--I believe one of those reads all cd-rws (and I think some cd-rs) while another only reads some...It's funny like that. Also, if you update your Xbox for Xbox Live (some games can do that) it will prevent you from reading cd-rws all together--thats what happened to me. The ability to read them depended on the brand.
