It's almost upgrading time...finally! :-). Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim () -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hi, I know I owe someone here a detailed list of add-on scenery and such, and I'll get to it as soon...

but only set it as a slave. Same symptoms. I stronly doubt that the optical lid detector (LED-phototransistor sensor) has gone bad. Maybe other hardware in the scanner is bad, but I suspect some silly software problem. Of course, I loosened and reseated...

got to them. Perhaps this is why I prefer console games now, there's no installation or issues, it's already optimized for the available hardware, just insert the disk and go. Maybe when I retire, if the hardware still supports them, I'll finally play the...

there was a replacement card a few months later that was a little better this, and a little better that. What did you expect, nVidia to say, 'well, that's it...that's the best we have...hope you like it, we all retire.' More hardware /= better FPS. Remember...

at home. Several weeks ago I retired my last server that was running Apache, MySQL and SAMBA on Mandriva Linux. I thought I would have a go with Vista since all of my hardware was to specification and Windowz XP seems so plain these days. I nearly made it...

So if you're tempted by eye candy then see if you get to see it played on a well configured Dx 10 platform first and compare with yours, before retiring what is still pretty useful hardware. If you can wait I'm sure there is better to come. If you can afford...

was making its appearance. It was very expensive at the time, because it had a Pentium Dual Core Processor and GMA 950 Graphics. As for retiring it?? Not anytime soon. It runs smoothly, more so than any hardware guru would think. The reason it supports only...

is running now. Don't be afraid of XP... MS will soon be retiring all support for 9x... not to mention other software and hardware vendors. Soon, new software will run only on 2000/XP/Vista... and if you think product activation was a pain in the ass with...

feed enough instructions/data to the processor, you can't issue/retire/process the maximum number of instructions every clockcycle you could. Hence, the K8 achieves a higher realworld IPC than the K7 even though its core hardware is nearly identical. Other...
