Pinging the F@H group. With Wild Wednesday and Black Friday upon us, surely someone will have the pleasure of a new toy!

Hey Hay Hey,

We're up to 63rd Place. Not bad for a bunch of troglodyte xenophobic mostly-Christian rednecks.

Wish I had a server farm of my own, but my little intrepid desktop has gotten me to #200 on Team Reagan.

I've pinged my Type I Diabetes list, as glucose metabolism will likely be more completely understood as a result of this research. In fact, Project 2124 specifically is designed (in layman-speak) with diabetic side-effects in mind.

What could also come of this, speculating, is more efficient transfer of energy from the glucose/carbohydrate molecule. That means either better booze or sugaring up the gas tanks of the future.

Thanks a mil, Tex. This is fun. No problems running F@H at all, except during #%#&%&& Windows Updates that demand a system restart.

-Jeff

With all of the talk about where and how much for the new ATI GPUs, here's some current data from http://www.pricewatch.com

As of 11/29/2006:20:00ZULU

$415.90 - radeon x1950 xtx 512mb
$416.12 - radeon x1950 crossfire 512mb
$445.00 - radeon x1900 xt 512mb
$308.90 - radeon x1900 xt 256mb
$201.00 - radeon x1900 gt 256mb
$337.90 - radeon x1900 crossfire 512mb
$261.12 - radeon x1900 crossfire 256mb

Prices listed are the lowest for which the given card is being offered by one of the vendors advertising on PriceWatch.

ALSO, be on the lookout for the LATEST in R/W media: Blue Ray Disc ("BD" for short).
EXAMPLE: http://www.compsource.com/pn/PXB900ASWBL/Plextor/

Looks like it's going to be "the next big thing". Prices are a bit on the "YIKES!" side, at the moment, but maybe by next Christmas...?
