Just found out today that the auto correct on my phone is going haywire. It just auto corrected bells to balls. I'll look back at my recent posts and fix what I find.

They aren't even realy copper ether, but a cheap copper alloy. Edit, they might even be the crap anodized version.

Cooling or lack of cooling only made the problem arise faster. Most 7/8 series cards will be dead by the end of the next decade. Same goes for early cards with tin solder by 2030 most will be gone or damage.

Picked up a ABIT AS8 with a 3ghz p4 for 18$ just incase the sk423 system does not cut it, will only need to get the ram if I want to use it.

Could it be that you need a better pass through cable? I seen a lot of people use cheap 1ft vga extension cables witch can case problems. I never rely had this problem other then when using cheap cables.

Honestly to a small extent I agree with OP. SSL is a good thing to have and all. But it can make things tricky with older systems and HTPPS certs are a pain when the date on a system is not right. I been called up many times as some of the system at my work do not have RTC in them and they get there …

is it worth adding a V2 in there to have Glide compatibility, or does a wrapper such as dgVoodoo1 play nice? Don't really know because while it does have front and back fans, it certainly appears to work at a bit higher temperatures than the P3 box, wouldn't want to risk a 3dfx card :dead: also the …

So what gpu would you guys pare with a 423 broad? I'd say gf3/4 or a 8500 or 9550?

OK so I just took a look at what they had listed right now. Look like they have one or two nut jobs setting prices on some parts. Often with sellers like this you have many listers and etch will set his/her own prices. They only have to reach a quota for the month or something so they sell one or …

Well I bought a bw7-raid. After reading the hole sdram thing I sort of regret it. But I'm sure it will be fine for me. Most of what I'll be doing will be fine even on a 750mhz piii. So a 2ghx Willy would be fine. And with pc166 ram I should bridge the red-ram gap a little. If not I'm sure I can sell …
