I have the money to get a pci-e motherboard and new processor but, this computer is still relatively fast by todays standards. So a new computer is out of the question for awhile.

Bottle neck really? How fast a computer do you need for it not to bottle neck?
I figured i was ahead of the game enough for that not to happen.

As well ossn.net? i went to it, all i got was some contracter site for home building.

i am trying to find a decently priced 6800, i was also looking at the x1600 but review for that were pretty bad and the benchmarks did not help.

Right, so having done a bit a of reasearch I have found only found 1 motherboard that supports agp and pci-e and there were only 3 reviews, 1 review said the board died after a month or so. The others raved about it, the thing that makes me sketchy is it from on unknown company.

So basically what i am trying to say is i am forced to get a agp video card because of my cpu socket, I cant upgrade to a motherboard that has pci-e cause it wont support my cpu.

The thing i am having a tough time making my mind up about is should i get a top of the line card (going with the nvidia 7 series) and use that till I have to get a new computer, or go with last years ati or nvidia last line and use that till i have to get a new computer.

The thing is if i get a top of the line card how long will my computer still be update with todays technology, cause if in a year or so my computer becomes too out-of-date then all the money i spend on the video card will be wasted.

my current specs are p4 2.6, 1.5 gigs of ram at 400mhz, 5200 nvidia, 80 gig hd and a 300 gig hd (uses sata sytem)
The 300 gig hd, and ram i am gonna transfer since i upgraded those so they should still be compatible in the future, hopefully.


BAH what do i do?

no it has nothing to do with the shape of the card.

he just told be how to do, i unless you are looking for it is kinda hard to figure out.

but he says this will work will pretty much any deck.

look at the distance between the number and the edge of the card both sides will be different, it is hard to notice since the difference is just barely noticable, there is maybe 2-3 mm difference

now that you know go and wow your friends, but dont tell them!

I think it has something to do with what is on the card itself cause when we dont move the cards he looks at them really hard so he must be looking for something on the card.

But i am not to sure what i spent some more time looking at the cards, and yes we did you s different deck same results. And the backs of the card dont matter cause he doesnt even bother looking at that.

Yes the cards are perfectly symmetical, and he used a set 4s while i was inspecting the 2s that he used before and no marks or bends of anykind and he still got the trick when he used the fours, also he just guess or says you didnt move a card when you dont move one, and he is the only one in the room who knows how to do the trick.

but again it is like taking 4 piece of blank paper and turning 1 180 degrees and being able to tell which one it is.

no matter what we do to the cards he can still tell.

and i have turned it 360, he cant tell cause it is pretty much doing nothing, i have turned  all four and he can still tell.

we have even choosen which cards to use from the deck, pulled themout, set them up and turn them when he is not looking, and he can still tell.
so i dont think he is setting it up cause we set it up and he still go it.

i mean if he guesses when you dont move a card then it has to do something with the card itself and not the surroundings right?

look at a at set of 2's from any deck and they are perfectly symmentrical.

He said i could lay them on the ground in any way i wanted and he would watch, so i did in a messed up sort of way, but all the cards were not angled any way or such they all pointed in the same way, then he turned around i did a complete 180 with a card and he would still get it, so i dont think he is memorizing the lay out or how much space is in between each card.

all he would do i look at the cards before had for a sec then turn around turn back around and choose the card that i turned.

I JUST DONT GET IT!!

that is like taking 4 piece of blank paper turning one 180 and being able to tell which one was turned.

HOW DOES HE DO IT?!

Alright so i was at a friends house doing a class project, and after we finished it was pretty late so we ended up staying the night play board games and card tricks, one trick a buddy of mine did, was you take a set of 4 cards from the deck that are symmetrical, like the 2s cause no matter how you you rotate them they look the same.

well what he does is he puts them on the floor spaced from each other then he turns around and get someone to rotate one of the cards 180 degrees, then he turns around and he can tell which one we turned.

I thought maybe he marked the card so we grabbed the 8's from the deck and still the same thing.

any ideas?

When I first started I really didnt like it but i got used to it and now when I play on other server I REALLY watch my fire and try not to hit others I believe it help me to be a better player.  Also I think it also acts as a nice little filter cause most people dont really like FF and the ones that do arent Nubs, and have a idea what they are doing.

If anything what is gonna happen is he is gonna realize how fun the psp is and realize how much this deal sucks for him, so he gonna want his share of the money and he is gonna go out and buy one for himself.

I say give it a month or so.

I am gonna agree with X-S-Z on this one, it seems all to fishy but hey come tomorrow the next couple days if it is true then we can all feel better that we actually didnt get owned by some we all thought was skilled.

But now with this happening will this start a possible witchhunt?

I have been in the same situation myself but on the oppoisite side and my front bumper came off. But in the end it was all good cause my dad is autobody so he fixed the truck that hit me no prob and fix my car no prob in the end we made 300. We made 300 cause my dad said just give us 300 and I will fix your truck and we will call it even.


Here is what you want to do, some people will disagree but I dont care, my mom have had her fairshare of accidents so I know what go's on.


First get her info, I assume you have it all, and even though she was in a rush TOO BAD!  If she wasnt rushing this would of never happened.

Next try to settle this without cops and with out your insurance knowing cause if either of those know your insurance will go up, even if it isnt your fault it still goes up. (which is bull) get a estimation from a car repair place take get a print out and have her come to your place or go to hers, give her the estimate and ask her if she wants to cut you a check so you can get it repaired or if you want to call insurance and involve them and have both your insurance go up.  


If all goes well you should get this settled before a week is up.

Also you dont have to call the cops you can if you want but that just add more work then really needed, the only time you really need them is when it is a BAD wreck or someone gets hurt.  Also like CFM said if try to settle outside, and they say they didnt do it then you can call the cops, they dont really get mad if you try to settle without them, it just creates less work for them, and they have better things to be doing.
