Heck, at 3GHz and the RF sidelobes I'll need another case too? Because of RF leakage? I like my tower. Should I get some copper mesh from work or anechoic absorber? My friend built one with a 1.4GHz and can't listen to the radio while online. The radio is jammed. I am a microwave engineer.

I can think of at least two ways to fix that right off the top of my head.Me too:
1). Shoot her (not an option) or
2). Shoot her computer.

Should I get some copper mesh from work...Ahhh - the memories...
When I was stationed in Alaska (artic circle..) my room was about 300 feet from the radar. I used to have to do this exact thing to shield my Timex Sinclair...

LOL!! OK, now I have three. I hadn't thought of shooting her.

...and no - getting linux isn't an option, either. She'd stroke out as soon the damn thing booted.

Actually, that wasn't gonna be my suggestion.
I would suggest Firefox with AdBlock installed. Sit there for a half hour or so, surfing the net (instead of her). Block all those sites that host the images (doubleclick, etc). If she doesn't see them, she won't click on them.

I would suggest Firefox with AdBlock installed.That's cool - but I'm talking about the *links*. Not necessarily ads.
I don't know where she's surfin'. But she's takin' her Cadillac to Compton and gettin' stomped. Oh well - it's my cousin's problem. ;-)

A lot of those links are tied to the ads. AdBlock will block the whole thing. If the pic isn't there (and the screen will reformat itself to cover the space), then the link isn't there, either.
Works wonders for me.

Next time I see her (she lives about 800 miles away), I'll ask her what she's runnin'.
Like she'd understand what I was asking her. (/Snicker)

I exceed all those requirements and still have stuttering, choppy video on Doom3. It is unplayable. Am in the process of getting the latest Radeon 9200 driver to see if that will help. Going to small screen and low quality video doesn't improve anything. Their ultra high resolution setting drove my box to the desktop. LOL That must take some cruncher.

Choppy on my box as well:
Athlon XP 2200
Radeon 9200 128MB
512MB RAM
All the latest drivers
Carmack says you'll need a 512MB graphics card to handle full resolution, and those don't even exist yet. It'll be a cool game when hardware catches up next year. Kind of sad because I get up to 300 frames per second on Quake 3 at full resolution. I have to admit that the graphics and effects look pretty realistic though.

Thnaks for the tip. I got the new driver and my choppiness is gone too.

Though that states it's NOT for single computer installations.
Regardless, I think I'll wait until it's been around at least a little while.

Actually you can download it for single computers. They just don't want people sucking up the bandwidth. It hasn't blown up my computer yet.
