Westinghouse 25.5" LCD 1080P - $420

I have the L2410NM model and has an MVA panel. This bigger L2610NM model looks like it has an inferior TN panel judging by the specs it has on Westy's website.

3dfx voodoo5 6000 ebay auction ends 12/7

No, i meant Quake3. I doubt a 6000 would even load up Doom3.

I've seen a V5 6000 card run on WinXP and play Q3. Very impressive.

3dfx voodoo5 6000 ebay auction ends 12/7

Seller says it's an earlier 2600 revision. The most sought after ones are the functional 3700A revisions, essentially preproduction runs. But hell, if any of the revisions actually WORK, that's the biggest issue I suppose.

3dfx voodoo5 6000 ebay auction ends 12/7

Increase for sure. It's got a unique place in history in that it was from THE pioneering company in the gaming world, the flagship product in a high-profile industry, yet never released amid the hype during 1999-2000 cause 3dfx went under. Classic tragedy! There will be periods where no one...

I still have a dream of building a classic rig centered around this video card. That rig would be worth lots of $$$.

No more 3dfx 6000 on ebay

Some of you in this forum might remember that several ebay auctions existed for a voodoo5 6000. That was over a year ago. Haven't seeen one for over a year now. Where'd they all go??? Was looking to perhaps purchase one. Any ideas or leads? Anyone here actually have a working one?

Intel 2200 vs Dell 1350 - which WiFi chipset is better?

On the configuration page, if you clicked on the "Help me choose" links, you get a nice comparison table of all four wireless options (2100, 2200, 1350, 1450). Intel uses up the most power, even in standby mode. The Dell 1350 used up the least... which is why I picked that one. Also, the Dell...

3dfx Voodoo5 6000 128MB VS ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB

Surprised I haven't seen any on ebay the past few months. The guaranteed working ones sell for $1000+ most of the time. I'd start saying things like they're rare collectibles, etc, etc.... but I wouldn't want to get into it again with Rollo, lol.

buffer size vs rpm in hd

The spindle speed will affect your performance the most, so go for the 7200rpm drive. If it were a choice between a 7200rpm 8MB buffer vs. 5400rpm 16MB buffer, hands down the 7200rpm drive would be the choice. With today's fluid-bearing technology, noise is less of an issue nowadays.

IS this the end of the use of photolithography in the manufacture of next gen chips?

Not quite just yet. Photolithography fortunately just got a simple major modification where using a fluid medium between the wafer and light source can easily handle smaller resolutions for the next few nodes.
