As individual traits, no. Rolled into a single package and attracted to the person involved, maybe.

:D I knew I could rely on you Pix.

Looks like we're moving toward a closing guys. Fun's fun but bring it back on topic eh? "

This should probably be over in Computer and Console. However, since we have infinitely more brain power in this forum than all the other combined, we'll hang on to it over here for a day for all the inspiration and insight before we turn it over to the geeks.

Threads like this make my eyes bleed. I think we bought the same stereo. :D

:D Very nice. I'm really feelin the love here .

We are sooo much in agreement here! In a freeking heartbeat!! (w00t) From someone that paid extra for frontrow seats at the Singapore caning...I love it!

Okay guys, let's cut it with the cartoons. Much as they irritate me personally, they also serve as an example of what this very thread is speaking to. Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press. Had they shown up in any of thread, I'd have nuked them, but here they serve a point. Let's not have any more though. The example has been given. Any more would just be rude. Those of you that took offense to these Christian/Jew based cartoons now probably have an idea of the offense the Muslims are dealing with. The difference being that some of them chose violence as a response. Let's stick to words here and let's keep it civil.

Let's see...where do I ban Volourn first? Decisions, decisions.

Keep it cool guys.

Well that just sucks. I've already installed it into a board. It a MSI K8N NOE4PLT NF4U S939 ATX. Unless I'm overclocking ( which I'm not ), should this become a problem? I already intend to add more air through the case.

You certainly are: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Damn! I'm gonna have to start paying more attention to how many candles are on my birthday cake. I knew that having a fire extinguisher near by was a little odd.

I keyed the manufacturer's number into Google and got this... http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-AMD_Processor_..._Socket_939_PIB I have my 'cutsheet' if there is something there I can be looking for.

Beats me. I'll have to check my paperwork and get back to you. It was almost $1000 USD. I got it for $775 Why?

I was looking at the FX60 but it was an extra $500 USD! Since this is only the third system I've built, I'll just have to settle with a 2.6 GHz single-core.

I just bought an Athelon 64 FX55. I should have my new toy put together this weekend. I'm looking forward to Baldur's Gate! God but the Black Isle games were the best!

BTW...to you guys that don't know what's in your magic box, download this software... http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Utiliti...me_Edition.html It'll tell you everything about your system from hardware ( and benchmarks ), software ( versions included ) and even the registry keys for the software in case you've lost them. Best of all...it's free! I load it on every system I work on.

Wow! What a boat anchor. What the Hell though, it keeps you posting here. :D I'll tell you what I told both my kids...start saving and buy your 'Dream System' while you're still living with your folks. When you get out on your own, you ain't gonna have any 'toy money' till you get to my age. ( unless, of course, you 'marry up' like Sarge is doing )

Okay, we've horded this thread for a week. Time to share it with the geeks in C & C.

I guess I'm showing my age since it is an old term.

Definitely a slang term. Kinda like "He **** a brick".

Well Eldar would have had to have worn tights in the first outfit. Instead he'll be prancy like a ponce with his poofy sleeves. Which also indicate he might be a pirate in some circles... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think I can speak for the male population on this board when I say that we are gratefull that he won't be wearing tights! As I remember, Eldar promised us pics of the event. I for one, am not looking forward to pics of anatomically inappropriate images of Eldar in tights! Add in a codpiece where nature let him down and that's just something to make me wish I were blind!

Scrl Lk/Scrl Lk/Enter ( or 1,2 ) is usually the command for a two port KVM. I've got a 4 port ( about $50 USD ) and am building a two port into the computer I'm assembling right now. I've seen them go up to 16 port ( for server rooms ) but hear they are terribly expensive. Since Hubby has so many systems, I assume he does that sort of thing proffessionally and probably can get a used one on the cheap. If he doesn't already know this, KVM switches can be stacked as long as the keyboard commands differ. My 4 port will move from PC to PC but once it hits my new computer, I give a different key command and it will switch the new computer internally. Num Lock/Num Lock ( 1,2,3,4 ) will flip it out of the new rig again.

:D I believe that's called a KVM switch Lady ( keyboard, video, mouse ). For extra points, how many port is it ( how many computers can you hook up to it/what is the keystroke command )?

I've seen a lot of speculation of what 'war' is so I thought I'd add my own definition... To war is to seek the ability to impose the will of a goverment upon an unwilling population. This obviously includes applications within a country's own boundries ( through force, economics or psychology ).
