Operation Delta 7

Maybe if you make threatening gestures with the shotgun, maybe "Chucky" will behave himself... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/s/cwm/circle.gif Glad it worked out though...

If you read back, you can easily see where "Chucky" maybe got scared from threats. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

No, my house was not that dirty that it took me all day. I am just thorough. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ I have been running around behind the kids with the vacuum and Windex, trying to keep it clean.
I have called Allstar and the man I talked to said he does have the Pentium III's in stock ! I told him I was not quite ready but would be shortly after Christmas. He said it would probably be a great idea to wait until after Christmas anyway before ordering because prices would definitely be coming down. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

QoH, that sounds good.

Train, Was looking at one of your posts on memory. Put in one 20GB first, then later the other? Or both at once. Or should it be twin 30's. Still thinking on this point.

Good planing is hard to beat! And it sounds like you have one. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Fire hoses at full flow, do a excellent job of cleaning, believe you me. Talk about a sweep the decks type thing. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Go with 20MB for now and if you wind up with that much on it, get a second one {you will have a better feel for it} or a cd-rw and archieve on cd. More or less what I am doing.

https://discussions.virtualdr.com/Train,

I used the leaf blower for the kids room. Barbie shoes flying everywhere..... blows um right into the garbage bag I warned um. If it's on the floor ....it's gone. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/


Greengoose,
I'm getting the 20 gig knowing I'll be able to add another should it become necessary. Another thing to learn later https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

bistro,

How'd your shopping go ? Did ya get in and out ? Make use of those hunting skills ?

OK, You both made good sense on the 20GB. I'll go with it. (Please note - a decision has been made https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ ) I be knawing on that for a few days.

QoH, Looks like our units will be almost twinkies. That's not bad. Lot of advantages to that. Thanks you two.

Bistro and Santa still visiting?

I was thinking of a money availability thing. Get one now, then when it can be afforded the 2nd. I am running about 6 Gig on C:\ and saving {backing up} on cd-r's and/or LS120's. Those things I do not want to lose.

Come to think about it. A partitioned 30GB with a tray attachment and a parallel port tray device with external powersupply, I could swap files with anyone. [Brothers do not have usb]. Now to remember where I saw it.
Definately beat floppies using a splitter.
Thanks for jogging the old noggin.
Yes, It is slower than net, but faster than floppies. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

What happened: Sent an attachment of 8MB which took under 3 minutes. Brother stated that -_-_-_- thing took 28 minutes to download, I answered; you wanted it https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

greengoose,
It's gonna be a good 'un ! Might as well ! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

You two definately have the makings of good machines.
I have slightly different requirements, so the planning is different for cpu and mb.
Probably wind up with the same Geforce vid card.
Will be back, going to attend a short class on 3.1. Yes, I have a 386 with that os . Got the 3.1 install floppies with it https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Like to see someone hack that thing as it will not be hooked to the net https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Back on line. Hooray.

Wasn't just me ? good. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

All done with the shopping/wrapping-ARRRRGH!

Saw a good comparison today with those GEForce 2 cards--if you're interested, here's how to I.D. them by type:
GeForce2 MX = Value Chip (about $120-150)
GeForce2 GTS = Good Gaming Performance--$$
GeForce2 Pro = Killer Gaming Performance-$$$
GeForce2 Ultra = Flagship GPU("Attack of The Incredible Shrinking Wallet")

As far as the MX's go, in the comparison it looked like the Hercules Prophet II MX beat out the Creative Annhilator 2 MX by just a slim margin--both appear to be good low price vid cards. Just for your consideration (and budget).

bistro
There several versions (manufactor??) of MX cards some do better than others. From several different test sites I found. Still awful close together though.

Right. Got lots to choose from. Got my eye on a GTS or Pro--just patiently watching the prices for now--perhaps in the Spring.
