Maybe, but nobody expect a washing machine to create anything, and creation is a risky process, you put something of yourself in a creation process, you risk your own self in someway.

So taking a risk to buy a machine, is the same process here, you expect this thing to do more than what it's suppose to, like making a statement, cuz it do something that nobody did before, something new, that's gonna inspire you in some way... Or something in that line anyway.

Conclusion, buying a machine is a creative process :grin:

Nah... :smile:
hehe, nice turn you gave it Marcus :smile:
but hmm, I want my wash clean really, whatever machine I buy

Hi sandrob, Matrox for normal use, ATI for games. GeForce4 mostly have no good bios, IMHO. Best is to go for a Matrox without noisy fan cooling. Maybe they are not best in 3D, but good enough for most games, and for Pulsar/UAD THE BEST. :smile:
Yes Nestor, I agree. As long as PCI does not change, this will be a very good solution. BTW: that case looks good! :cool:
And everything will change anyway in case of a Pulsar with 64bit bus or whatever else.

Do you get a good price on the UAD1. A Danish shop sells it for 800€.

Looks good. No fan. If you install the drivers and start setup, have a look if you see a user defined button -if not you probably have a drivers only setup-. Use it and disable this ATI Multimedia Center option. Only the pure drivers is what you need, no fashion. :wink:

strange. I suppose you've installed Chipset drivers and Application Accelerator from Intel?

NTFS, all the way, but there is maybe other problem, i know some board don't support bigger disk... maybe you'll have to create a 2nd partition...

Have a look at the board manufacturer wrb site if there is a mention about this, maybe even a bios update?

thanks, mascus. i will see if sgate have some tool for formating disc on 100% size (i heard they have) if not, i'll will make 2 partitions.
please, tell me, do you have probelm with famous intel's denormalisation bug? i hoped it will be fixed but didn't. i'm pretty disapointed here :sad:
