<0> #1 go install windows 2003
<1> 2)get SP12
<2> what is SLI ?
<1> IIRC
<1> If you have 2
<1> you can have one start rendering from the top
<1> and the other from the bottom
<1> though I could be wrong
<1> nvm, that's right: Scalable Link Interface. This is a technology from Nvidia that allows 2 PCIE graphics cards in the same computer system to be linked, thus sharing the load of the image being created. Cards in SLI are linked via a small hardware bridge. This makes for some hugley powerful gaming systems.
<2> k, thanks :) I my mobo has that, but I won't need it
<1> It's expensive, IIRC
<2> yeah, plus I don't need great graphics, just dual monitor :)
<1> are there any dual PCIE cards?
<2> yeah, I found 1 for 38.99, I think it has dual monitor
<1> not bad
<3> hmm
<1> yes?
<3> flyback
<3> i gotta 256mb pc133 chip
<3> cl3
<3> also got some rdram
<3> i gotta pc-100 64mb chip
<3> 2 of those
<2> this one doesn't look to bad either http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150147
<3> i just got through cleaning my room up. was dirty with after i sawed a little on this desk. went ahead and installed my new ups and hid all my wires and stuff

<2> filup, check that out :)
<2> $36 shipped, after rebate
<2> dual monitor setup and reviews are great for a cheap card like that
<1> good find
<2> thanks bro, Im trying to build a recording computer
<1> I might pick one up in case I decide to do dual monitor
<2> I was recommended a dual core, but those are too much, I'm going with an AMD 64 3500+
<2> for $109 shipped
<1> I can't decide between dual core or 64bit
<0> aren't all dual core 64 bit?
<1> most are 2 32
<1> Because most ppl don't need the processing power of the 64 bit, but everyone experiences the lag from background processes draining resources
<3> they are 64 bit
<1> Really?
<1> Hmm, ok
<3> yes
<3> emt64 or athlon64
<2> I just spent a bunch of money on recording monitors and pre amps and mics, so now I only have about $450 for a computer and Im using my old case
<3> heh
<3> not much you can get with that
<2> my bud told me that a lot of programs aren't designed to run dual core so it would be useless for me probably
<2> heh, yeah, your right
<2> It seems like a decent setup though when i look at the specs
<2> because I am not spending a bunch on a graphics card
<2> and it will have 1 gig of 3200 ddr
<2> I should probably run 2 gigs, but I'll get the other gig down the road, plus the mobo handles dual core, so I can always upgrade
<2> the sad part is that most products are black now, and my computer is white
<2> so I am going to have a white case with black drives :)
<1> I've got that, b/c my cd drive crashed, and my CD-RW is gray
<2> heh, I don't know why they don't make white drives anymore
<2> it used to be all white and if you wanted a black one, then you would have to pay more
<1> Heh
<1> MacBook: $200 more for a black one
<1> although it's got a bigger HDD, but it's only like a $50 upgrade to get those same specs on the white one
<2> lol, thats crazy, I would like a mac sometime though
<1> Idk if I want to get a MacBook, or a decent desktop and laptop...
<2> there is no way I can afford a mac though
<2> they are crazy expensive, plus I would have to get all new software
<2> a mac would be ideal for recording though
<1> I'd just throw linux on it
<1> But, I don't think Linux would do any good if you wanted to record stuff...
<2> yeah, I'm not to familiar with linux, I wonder if all the drivers would work
<2> yeah, thats the only problem :(
<1> Hehe... The joys of Linux. Although I hear OS X is like Linux
<2> Macs are pretty sweet though, I never liked macs, but a buddy just got one and after checking it out, I realllly want one
<1> From when I used it, it seemed to be all about multimedia
<2> yeah, and thats what I want to use it for, plus its really stable
<2> I just don't want to pay so much for the software :(
<1> lol
<2> plus the initial investment for the mac
<1> You gotta pay w/ Win too
<1> true
<2> true, but mac software seems like its a lot more
<1> and nobody likes Win anyone... Nobody sane, at least
<2> heh, thats the truth
<1> anyway***
<1> I don't know how I got anyone...
<2> well brother, thanks for the help, I think I'm going to order these components. Hopefully they will all be here by this friday so I can get my studio up and running over the weekend :)
<1> np, glad I could help
<2> thanks, later man!
<4> i just bought a 56K modem PC Card, but i am not getting even close to that... i am connecting at 21000Kbps
<1> That's how it was for me
<1> Usu. you don't get up to 56k
<3> _jarrett: it's your phone line
<4> what about it?
<3> your phone company's wires in your aread wont move at any faster speed than that
<3> area
<4> are you serious...
<3> or your isp is not 56k compliant
<4> it's AOL
<5> maybe noise in the line
<5> limiting the speed
<3> then its your phone company
<5> guys pls stop being a smart ***es
<5> telling ppl to buy a 350watts PSU
<3> you can call and ask if there is anything limiting it
<5> and now this bull****
<3> tim23, what?
<5> _jarrett PCMCIA card?
<5> or PCI
<3> tim23: if he lives a long ways out, the wiring could be the problem
<6> tim23 are you in a major city or remote BFE?
<6> when i lived in sandiego even tho i was in that city i was in BFE and could only get same speeds
<7> hey
<3> hehe
<7> ok
<3> hey
<7> random stupid question
<7> what is the main diff b/w AM2 and 939
<1> ok
<7> and which would you reccommend?
<7> is it that AM2 supports DDR2?
<7> is that the primary difference?
<8> yes
<1> and it's a tad bit faster
<7> worth getting AM2 then?
<1> like 2%, IIRC
<8> also they are going to add reverse-HT and a few other features
<8> in some models
<7> yeah, im building this pc for my cousin
<7> hes not an intense gamer
<7> but we are trying to get the best bang for the buck
<1> Then AM2. It's got 939 beat... by 1 pin.
<7> yeah
<3> lol
<3> if he wanted to wait a month or so on c2d, thatd be a good choice
<1> Well, you can wait forever in order to try to get the good upgraded stuff
<1> b/c it never seems to stop
<4> sorry about that, if there is noise in the line, what can i do about it?
<1> you can call either the ISP or the phone company, and ask them to check it out
<1> I did that, they came and checked it out
<1> It was fine for a while after that, but it came back, and I gave up
<1> But, I use broadband, so it's not a prob.
<4> oh
<4> so either way, i have to call the phone company about it?
<1> I would
<3> the next chips wont be out until 07 after this new launch
<1> ah
<1> then I'm def. waiting
<4> ok, thanks
<0> the phone company legally has to replace your lines if the noise is over a certain point
