Off Topic / Need help making video card decision

« on: June 11, 2006, 10:15:08 PM »

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how long will my computer still be update with todays technology, cause if in a year or so my computer becomes too out-of-date then all the money i spend on the video card will be wasted.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

Off Topic / Card tricks

« on: December 05, 2005, 03:08:38 PM »

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?

Off Topic / Pont And Its Dangers

« on: September 13, 2004, 08:35:15 PM »

Sometime this morning a new word was created my Temjin during a game of NS, that word being PONT it is basically the same as Pwn just dumber.  WE DONT NEED NEW WORDS!!!!!!   PWN is bad enough just hearing it being said is bad enough but we dont need PONT!!  

But just to ensure that this new word does not catch on. I Greenground did some reasearch and called some Medical Specialists cause I want to be sure that the LM community is aware of all the dangers of this word.

Some of the dangers from the use of this word are being smacked in the head, possibly being kicked from the IRC, name calling from peers, short term memory loss, blindness,  
loss of appitite,  heachaches, diarrhea, vomiting, these are just from short term use of the word long term symptoms are much worse some being, getting a beating from other  with large sticks,  death  and the worst of all  ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION!!   You dont want that do you?

Not only that but we will never  hearing the end of it from Temjin which is just as bad as erectile dysfunction,  so please do your part and warn other of this horrible word.
