Metallurgic

aw im looking forward to my tax return

Last year I owed money to the government. I hope they fixed that.

I guess I never did see the original, but every Venom I've seen has had the jagged snake-like eyes. As long as he's evil, thats all that matters.

Seems that most aren't taking this video seriously. It's showing how the cosmetics industry creates their "ideal woman" by photoshopping the hell out of pictures, and creating a false image. It's sure not helping the self-esteem of young women.

I would just re-seat everything. Even the CPU. Power cables especially. Try to gather as many old (working) components as you can and try different combos.

A friend of mine has been playing this nonstop. How do you all like it?

Worked half day on Saturday. Good thing though, my blood pressure was through the roof with frustration.

College FTW! Ohio State vs. Michigan next week!

Sygate is a good software firewall, unfortunately it was discontinued. You can still use it to filter anything you want.

Looks awesome, but they got Venom's suit all wrong.

The eyes need to look like this:

Wow, votes all across the board. I have been thinking of getting a 360 for a while. I will get a ps3 when the ps4 is about to come out. (I just bought a ps2 a couple weeks ago)

Oh, I see. I thought he was selling it to someone else.

Seems like a good deal, I'll check some more into it.

The 007 theme is a given. License to Frag makes the most sense to me, other than Disconnect Another Day which is also good.

Hook up the PC speaker, and if it ever gets far enough into bios, you might get a coded beep that will tell you the problem.

I don't know much about motorycles, but I've seen enough to know that $2,000 is too low.

Im glad that dx10 cards are starting to come out. The sooner the better.

Edit: I just looked at the specs.

Core Clock: 575 mhz

Memory Clock: 1800 mhz

Memory size: 768 mb

That's amazing.

I think for my next system, I'll be getting an Nvidia card just to mix it up. I'm normally an AMD ATI guy.

You shouldn't have any problems finding a mobo that supports IDE. In fact, I have never seen a mobo that doesn't have IDE. My rig has lasted me for a couple years. Granted I have replaced the video card once, but it still runs the best games out there.

Don't worry M2, all the haters are just jealous.

Great laptop.

WEP will be fine for what you want. Nobody's going to try to hack into your system just to get online.

Looks good. I have the Samsung equivalent to that monitor, and it's great. Widescreen FTW.

Buy an xbox 360 and the HDDVD player for it. Just an fyi you will not be able to get an HD-DVD player at walmart for $20 in the foreseeable future.

 

The HDMI thing you shouldn't worry about. So far only Warner Studios is pushing the ICT (Image Constraint Token) that will force down-converting when using analog connections (DVI is digital so you shouldn't worry, plus you can find the connectors for relatively cheap, if not an HD-DVD player with DVI out) and at this point even they have said that it won't be until sometime in 07 that a film will have ICT and that it will be clearly marked on the packaging (personally I think it will never happen).

 

So far HD-DVD players are going to start around $500 USD (and still don't support 1080p) so expect to see MS to start selling lots of 360's with the HD-DVD player (I mean, for $100 more you get an xbox that does 1080p...no brainer)

If HD DVD becomes the standard format for movies in the future, I will probably use that to justify getting a 360.

I was at work, but then I left for school. Now I'm at home relaxing.

I used to make several of those all the time when I was a kid. Good times.

if you're trying to do a fresh install on a fresh sata hard drive there should be no extra steps required as long as your sata controller is enabled in your bios. usually it is enabled by default but stranger things...

 

In both my motherboards, it was disabled by default, sot it's not uncommon.

 

 

what brand?

ECS for one, and DFI for the other. I take it back though. On my ECS board, it was disabled, but im not so sure about my DFI board.

Upgrading your PC does not mean that you're addicted to the internet!
