I don't understand why nVidia wants to buy any piece of 3DFX, especially for $100+MM. Do they really need anything 3DFX has to offer? Interestingly, the news of this buyout has driven down the price of nVidia stock. Let the compnay dissolve and then just hire the stars from the 3dfx development team...

I know a few forums ago at the old original AGN there where die hards that owned 3DFX. My heart goes out to you. Wow $0.28/share :(

Tough year overall. The only thing I did right was buying NVDA at $38. Everything else if what you would say "long term" (AOL, DELL, LGND, HDD, etc.)

Can't post the url here. Find the Jammer Forums on the net, then search on WinOnCD. The link is in one of the threads. It is a 75MB rarred download.

WinOnCD 3.8PE does. I just installed this new program and it is more powerful and easier to use than Nero. Amoung many features, it offers built in codecs for vcd's.

I highly doubt it will play without skipping or hiccuping. I recently put a Pioneer 104S in my buddy's Dell LX P2 300 box that had a 4MB STB Velocity 128. DVD just barely played and you could tell the system was going all out. You definitely could not do anything else while playing a DVD. Since the ...

Also, if your voltage is not too high already, increase it a bit more during "burn in". You may find that you can lower it even more than where you originally had it after a while at higher levels.

Thank you. This myth has to be the biggest piece of misinformation that I see in threads. You would be surprised at how many threads there debating this at Anands right now. Drives me crazy seeing people go to the such extremes as putting only one device on each chain and stocking up with Promise ca...

I have a zip(hardly an ATA33 device) as the slave to my primary ATA66 HDD on the HP ATA66 controller and my HDD benches where an ATA66 should with HDTach. Wouldn't you think the Zip would mess up the 80-pin theory and slow down my HDD? It doesn't in my case.

You are kind of over thinking it a bit. Having them on the same chain will slow the speed down to that of the slower device only when they are being accessed at the same time. However, since you have the scondary HP chain free, you may as well put the smaller HDD over there to avoid this, but really...

Actually, you would need CloneCD for both of those. I recently backed up WinME and I had to do it with CloneCD with special settings acquired from the CloneCD Database.

CloneCD is a great program and well worth $50, however full versions are extrememly easy to find out there.

If you map the thumb button to a keyboard key using the Intellipoint software and then map the key in the game to the function you want you should be good to go. This is an especially good trick for games that do not natively support the extra button. For example - in Q3, make something like F1 = ba...
