That's an ancient stat, from waaaay back in the last century :D. Seriously though, that was when nonNT Windows couldn't use more than 256 or 512 or something (I think it was 256, might even have been 128). Meg that is. Might even have been NT4 limitation as well. But XP likes enough room to...

XP has detection routines to figure out which driver to use. If it cannot find a match, it whines. Yes, Matrox G450 Dual drivers come with XP (and I think it's the same driver for the Quad).

I'm running one Chaintech GeForce4 4600 AGP, and 3 Dual PCI Matrox G450s. If you have enough PCI slots, two duals are cheaper than one quad (as somebody here pointed out to me - thanks!). I dunno offhand what kinda memory the G450s have (my Geforce proudly announces 128 Meg at startup :D) -...

Man, that's one thing that I hate, lazy programmers who leave memory lying around :mad:. Anyway, Windows will use memory to cache stuff from disk, if nothing else - that alone will help you out. Plus, I usually have a couple other apps open. They aren't stealing many cycles, `cuz they...

Memory is faster than any hard drive every made. Get a gig like I did, and you don't really worry about disk, except when you are changing stuff around. I do run RAID0 though. . .

That is correct. If you have a cash only account, you can trade the bejebbers out of your $2k. Note that one needs a margin account to short stock . . .

Know what the difference between a sadist and a masochist is? A masochist says "Hurt me, hurt me" and a sadist says "No." :D :D :D

If you paid by credit card, and have not paid that bill yet, you've got a pretty good position. But, if these guys are the expert crooks that I think they are, you either had to pay a different way, or you've already paid the money to the CC company. Be advised that you are almost certainly...

Check with travel stores in the UK to see if you can find an 220 to 110 adapter.

It was used. I paid like $10 for it, as I recall. I didn't get anything with it. But I am using only Matrox drivers. . .

Yeah, I make some money on the side on eBay. Did this one deal where I got paid to haul away a dozen Intel web cams (brand new, in box), then sold them on eBay. If you know what you are doing, you can get some stunning deals on high tech stuff - get paid to haul it away from stores, or...

Man I tell ya. I shoulda been rich when Value America was doing that half price deal to unique emails. Sigh. If I ever get another chance like that, I'll be an eBay king!

Cuz he's still got some money. We gotta keep him in the game `til he's broke, at least. Maybe he can borrow some money as cash advance on his credit cards. . . Just kidding of course :D. GG, I crashed out once and had to get a job, made another stake and lost it, went slightly worse than...

I also trade in a fairly dim room - an old habit from my IT days. I learned long ago that limited and indirect lighting was best if you were staring a monitor all day. The first thing I'd do on my first day at a new job was to disable those nasty overhead lights that so many businesses love...

"Hi, I realize that I'm a foreigner in a country that looks down upon foreigners and has a rich and very long tradition of repression (especially towards women such as myself), and I realize I broke the law, but I'm still gonna give a bunch of lip to these cops."...

Bought one of mine on eBay - works great on WinXP Pro.

Don't hold back db, tell us what you really think. :D Not that I disagree, just chuckled when I read your statement.

Just listened to the demo again, and I caught it all! Thanks guys.

Here's a chart of non-fudged (nonseasonal) M1, M2 and M3 since January of `59 to April `03.
