OT/

Wow, I didn't think this account would still be active.



I myself am 33.


*snicker* Old Man

I look my age as long as I have my goatee. If I shave it off (which my wife says I'm not allowed to) I look like I'm about 18.


You too? :o

Tutankhamen was his little brother who took over after he died.

An Uncanny Resemblance (or Golf in Ancient Egypt )

CNN is reporting on where technological advances have given a face to the legendary teen from Ancient Egypt. I swear the picture they have given Tutankhamen is a digital knock-off of Tiger Woods.

Will i actually see a difference when my computer is a K6-2 450, or is my CPU speed the major bottleneck? I have never seen a review of todays video cards with this level of CPU suckage (compared to todays CPU's).

Kuhtarl,

I also have a TNT2 (mine is a M64?, something like that) 32M card. At least it is nice to know that it will be a nice step up to a real video card. :D

Gainward Ti4200

I am thinking of buying the 650XP Golden Sample Ti4200 128Mb vid card by Gainward. The card supports VIVO, so does this mean the card can be used as a TV tuner as well, or do I need an add on card to do this (if I wanted to)?
