Don't ask me how much I wanted to kill him afterwards. My point is, small wonder people think motorbikes are dangerous. But it's not the motorbike that is dangerous, it's the biker. I think that if you haven't got sh*t for brain, you'll be allright on any type of transport. I agree, plenty of bad …

mwdmeyer, Nice ride! I wonder why people on this forum like BMW so much :lol: Not that I have anything against them, but there are lots of great cars from Japan and Korea with friendly prices. Though I heard some people say that no other car steers like BMW, is that true? The traffic disorganisation …

A few days ago I was turning left on a 3-way crossroad, giving way to the oncoming traffic, and just as I started to turn, this thing happened: http://i.imgur.com/MHetcpD.png (You can turn left here. The picture is not very accurate - there is actually a gap in the central line - but I'm too lazy to …

The object that has spent over a DECADE on my "must acquire" list has finally been paid for: The Asus p65up8! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSoNGaaETKQ I paid more than I care to admit. But this will be the centerpiece of a NT4 gaming rig. As soon as it gets here from Russia. And I get some other …

I've got a Parallel Ethernet card (both BNC and RJ), however, I never found any drivers for it. I can make some pictures if you're interested.

I love the forum titles. After all, they were something that drove my attention towards this great book. I had countless hours of fun reading all five original books, watching BBC seires, and then listening to the audiobook narrated by Stephen Fry on a 200km brevet last summer. For all those who …

From 2003 to this day, my main PC has lost 3 videocards (x1800GTO and 2 HD5670) and 1 onboard sound chip on ASUS P5B. My Willamette Celly from 2003 is still working fine at my neighbour's place. Maybe I'm lucky.

Librettos are a good way to go, especially second generation models (50-70). They feature 6 inch 640x480 TFT display (CT65555) and OPL3-SA sound. The AccuPoint is great for gaming if you get used to it, especially compared to touch pads, which are more common today. Mouse is clearly superior, …

They call Willamette128K a horrible CPU, but when mine was brand-new, it ran well anything I threw at it. It aged very quickly, 2 years later it was not good for anything new and 3 years later I finally got C2D.

Yes, this is even the same store I got them from. I think they are 11mm, I think I measured them with Vernier calliper, but it was a while ago. I can double check.
Re: Adding a RAM slot?

What's the board/chipset? I've got a board that can feature either 440BX or 440ZX chip set depending on the version. The latter only supports 2 RAM slots, so in case of ZX the third slot is missing.

Just noticed there is no AGP port... Now I 100% get the choice of the videocard 😀 It was either that or low-end Radeon 9000 or 6200. And 5200 wins when it comes to compatibility.
