Even older titles like Far Cry, UT2004, Doom 3 and HL2 would only run smoothly for me once I had 1GB (and IIRC even 768MB). You probably know this, but keep in mind that more of slower RAM (ie. not the fancy Redline / Ballistix / ??? stuff) is always better than less of faster RAM :) IIRC, BF2 really needs 1.5 - 2GB (blame that on EA). The 9800 Pro is still a great card (did you OC it?) but is definitely getting long in the tooth (think 1024x768 at mid-level details for (IMHO) playable frame rates). A decent purchase would be a X800GTO^2 (emphasis on the ^2) which can be unlocked to a full 16-pipelines (since it was built from a surplus shipment of R480 cores) and OC'ed to X850XT PE speeds (~$200), though you might want to consider a 7800GT (~$290 after rebates). The A64 4000+ is definitely nice - you'll get plenty of envy from me ;) I'm only gunning for a Sempron 3400+ S754 PCI-E platform... HTH -- JW

Re: [H] Net slow today?
Even with non-text emails, the bandwidth usage of email really is not that big on the grand scheme of things. With transit prices as low as they are (as long as you are buying real bandwidth, comercial stuff, in large pipes), in the $10-50/mbit, it really is not that bad. I have seen a lot of people at U of A whenever network cost gets brought up saying that we should Limit our internet traffic and such. U of A has 70 Mbit and 135Mbit for I1, and 155Mbit for I2 (soon to go to 2.5gbit). The cost for the I1 connections really is not that high considering you have over 40,000 students behind it. The real cost is running the U of A network itself, a cost that would not go away even if you cut the campus from the internet. Not some simple bogon filtering and junk packet filtering (RFC 1918 source address?) can save a fair amount of bandwidth by itself (20-30Mbit was the savings for U of A).

[H] Sound Blaster Audigy 2 generating static in center and front channels
this has been building up for a while now...today it got worseI hoped the PC up, cleaned out the dust, remove the SB and clearned the slot connected, then reinserted...static popping still present in front and center channels, not in rear. Popping doesn't seem to match up to any activity, other than the PC being on...it did get seemingly worse when I connected my iPod to the front firewire port. but generally it's crappy, poppy sound 24/7 now. If I disconnect from the speakers, no sound, so I think it's coming from the SB. My speakers are the Klipsch ProMedia 5.1s. what to try next? I'm at the SB site trying to find some knowledge there. so far, nothing.
Re: [H] Sound Blaster Audigy 2 generating static in center and front channels
what to try next? I'm at the SB site trying to find some knowledge there. so far, nothing. Over the years I have had a static problem with my SB cards on many occasions. This is why I like onboard sound ... never have a problem. Right now I have my SB Live in a old Tyan Tiger with a ATI All in Wonder 7500 and every time I record something there is the static... you barely hear it, but it is there. This occurs in both 2K and XP so I know it is a hardware issue. Past experience has shown me that this is caused by some kind of or IRQ or Memory address conflict. The only way I have solved it is by moving things around in their slots, or just start pulling cards out one at a time, and then see if it gets better. It is a painful and tedious process but it is the only way I have ever been able to deal with it. I haven't done this on my own problem yet because it is just too much of a hassle.

Otherwise it is my understanding that only one device at a time on an IDE channel can use that channel. For example you have a DVD drive as IDE 0 and a HD as IDE 1 on the same ribbon (master and slave). You cannot transfer data to both from another device at the exact same time. Now, whether those millisecond gaps that this causes will screw up your burns, dunno. I think with SCSI and SATA this becomes a non-issue from a bus access standpoint. -- Brian
