Dell should/would serve him a little better in my opinion. As a tech, it's where I send most of those who are bent on buying over the phone. CompUSA is a great source also in that he can get some hands on experience and talk to a live, visible body when he has questions. They will be there...
I have an associate who set his site up here:
http://www.havenco.com/
He has security and confidentiality. I have decided that I'll set one up here this summer also as a sub of my LLC. I think it's rather cool. Here are a few more...
Interesting concept. I'd love to share more of your knowledge. I am developing a TCNet Trading and chat room and I think your concept might prove to be an interesting discussion. Take a moment and PM me and let's talk. As a software trainer, I am always looking into new innovative concepts...
You won't HAVE to upgrade so-to-speak, but MSFT will provide no support and no fixes. Try as they might, they will not be able to pry our fingers off our beloved finally working setups. But they will make it so you'll need to find a dinotech (a computer veteran with the books, patches, bug...
I run both platforms. Have been for a little while now. Since adding in all the patches and service packs for both these NT based platforms, they both run very well. As stated earlier, if you have no problems with your current 2000, sit tight. Eventually you'll have to upgrade as MS will...
Hmm, maybe I should clarify that I was speaking of things like multiple video cards, types of monitors (for quality of output), etc. I would figure that the RAM issue is one that some would not comprehend, but if there is a tech involved... :)
Before you roll over and go feet up, understand this. A P4 in a laptop can be comparable to a P4 in a desktop. Same for the other chipsets. Sometimes space demands you look at other options. In other instances, it's a personal desire. In any event, it can be worked out.
I have several...
In any event, you might want to look on eBay for some good prices. Example:
Matrox G450:

I have successfully used the Matrox line of cards for some time. They have been solid for me. Today I purchased two Appian Rushmore cards (testing, just like a good computer guy) from CDW today. Just popped them in and so far so good. Too new to critique them as of yet but the view looks...
Depends on how much gubment spending is curbed or increased. How many safety net programs are added to the whole mixture is important too. If the deficit is based upon the shrinking tax revenues, that's one thing. If it is because of runaway long range spending plans, that's another. The...
Hmm, I've got to go to CDW this afternoon. I clearly forgot about this company as a solution to my desktop questions for multiple monitors. I'll be picking up two Appian Rushmore cards today. Thanks for the link. :)
A few years ago I wrote a book on Handicapping Thoroughbreds (Handicapping Thoroughbreds With Confidence). Part of the task involved taking what I called the ultimate challenge, self-use. I took $400 and three days and followed the technique. I watched the funds grow to over $4,000 net during...
No you're not insane in the conceptal realm.

The venture is being tossed around for getting into space. But that connection to the moon piece... :)
The unbelievable piece for me is those who say he is not the best player on the wood right now! When you factor in all the pieces (age, wisdom, guts, etc.), is there really any doubt? With 20 seconds to go and down by one - he's still the best go to guy! :)
Whoa there Runningbear! Before you head off on that Beowulf tangent, make sure you understand the terrain ahead. Your program WILL run through multiple processors even though its not designed to. It just may not be at its optimum. The main directive for the multiple processor piece IS the...
Hmm, deals being made all over the place:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2304688001&category=31508
Just when you think you've found the best deal out, time passes. :)
I think the correct equation is six of one, half dozen of the other. Both platforms have their plusses and minuses. And what we are truly discussing is milliseconds in response times. Now granted, everyone can cite where the differences are and which platform SHOULD perform the best. But it...
