Christianb

Hey Gang, Check out this article on 43 US states and Commonwealths suing the US recording industry. Basically there's a 67. 4 million dollar penalty and then they'll be required to donate 75. 7 million dollars worth of CDs to public entities and non-profit organizations.

Trillian the best or what?

pbuckne

I have a kid sister who chats. A lot. She used to use yahoo and msn and icq and all the rest, and this was killing her PII 400. Anyway, we tripped across and it is some of the best lying (emulating, whatever) software I have seen, since it emulates all of the above (as I recall) plus a couple.

The Coolest Bigwheel, Ever...

Check it out: My wife and I were at Toys'R'Us looking for a present for our friend's newborn child, and I saw this badboy on display. I stated that we *owed* it to our child to get him/her this. She replied that it would always be there and not to get it now.

Post your UT 2003 benchmarks

DosFreak

Look in your UT 2003 SYSTEM directory and run BENCHMARK. EXE It seems that Benchmark. exe set's your UT2003. ini to defaults, so modifying it or changing your UT2003 settings will have no affect. (Still testing this) Obviously running the batch files or until someone write's a better benchmark GUI would be preferab ...

Should i jump the boat?

Marktait

Hi guyz, im thinking of going Intel P4 2. 4Ghz 533 with an ASUS P4B533-E and this will be a big leap for me as i have only ever run AMD systems and i have had 8 in totol. So should i jump the boat? Mainly i want to go Intel coz they have sorted heat issues with there cpus and they are much sturdie systems than AMD's.

Adobe Gamma quesion?

Ace

I just got Adobe Photoshop 7 and it comes with a gamma feature that brightens the monitor. My monitor configs are all at 100% brightness and contrast. But when I watch videos on Windows Media Player it doesn't seem to use the gamma cause its really dark.

Now What's The Better Choice, W2K SP3 or WXP SP1?

CyberGenX

:x Just upgraded to 2 New Maxtor 80Gig 7200RPM ATA 100 drives with the 8MB Cache Buffers. A great deal at $106 each. Will be running IDE RAID 0 Stripe. I have run both XP and 2K SP2, now I am toying with the idea of XP again.
