Spooky!!! How you been?

Give yourself an attaboy.
ATTABOY!!

Victor Davis Hanson devotes a chapter in his book "Carnage and Culture" to the battle of Midway. Highly recomended reading (and it's now out in paperback).

Explained on last post of previous thread...
Nope.
No luck.
The PNP part of the bios refuses to detect the 'newer obsolete' card. (geforce2 mx200 pci)
But it will detect my 'older obsolete' card (Riva TNT pci)
Seems it refuses to recognise cards made after a certain date. (Mid 2000.)
And as an added bonus, the bios rom itself would need to be replaced anyway to get it to recognise the 'newer obsolete card'. *chuckle*
Guess what the odds are on finding a compatible PNP bios rom?
Slim and none.
*chuckle*
I guess I'm just gonna have to get 'un-stingy' and buy a new motherboard, maybe one for my new but empty ATX case...

Stop it, you're making my head spin. lol.

At least it seems you had 'fun' trying to make it work. And hey, who doesn't want a new motherboard. *grin*

[snippy_about_it]

0 dark 30. lol.

[snippy_about_it]

Hiya Spooky, good to see you, what's the picture of for the puzzle?

I apologize, I was reading backwards and didn't see your last post on previous thread until now.

[Darksheare]

Spinning heads?
Not accompanied with a voice saying, "This one belongs to us now!"?
*Darn*

I use my machine for various different things.
Vid games, mp3's, and my scanned drawings.
(I've pretty much maxed out what this MB can do.. as well as crammed my hard drive full.) ;-)
Yes, I dream of having a new motherboard.
Have Tigerdirect's new catalogue here in my very own little hands, now somewhat dog-eared and drooled on though. (Hey, techy types or technophiles drool about POWER, pure absolute computing POWER..)

'Course, I also have to balance out the fact that I'm way too cheap to buy anything at full current market price..
(That leaves out the Barton core AMD Athlon XP3200.. @$424.99 with fan and 3 year warranty..)
But the XP 2200 is only $65.
And I know people who can get one for me for less should I farm out the shopping like that.
(I'm and AMD man, after having a 386 [normal operation, not overclocked] melt down on me once upon a time and having Intel say "It's not our processor's fault, regardless of the defect in the chip, it's YOUR fault." I kinda have it in for Intel..)
Kinda unique.
One NEVER forgets the smell of melted CPU.
Smells almost like a fried Selenium Stack on an elevator..

I had fun, yes.
Now it's time to find out solutions for this new problem.

[Darksheare]

No prob.
Just letting you know that an explanation that PROBABLY made more sense was elsewhere..
I find I make less sense as the day wears on.
(???)
*chuckle*

But hey, it's ENTERTAINMENT!
"Entertainment is where you find it."
"I know a bad idea when I see it. And this, is a bad idea." -said right before popping several circuit breakers and frying a stereo.

"If it's touted as unbreakable, hand it to a soldier. He'll soon find out."

(Hey, techy types or technophiles drool about POWER, pure absolute computing POWER..)

Men drool about power...cars, computers, toys, lol..It's a good thing. Mind you women like power too, we just try not to drool. *grin*

[Darksheare]

Well, I DID meet a woman who drooled over a 454 big block engine with a hemi carb on it.
She also liked the stats on the VW W12 engine, and the W18 engine...

And she tried not to drool too much, but sometimes it's impossible.

[snippy_about_it]

lol.

I'm sure it is.

[SAMWolf]

LOL! Or give it to a 5 year old boy.

[Darksheare]

Yes.
Kinda embarrassing too.
Especially when I have to say to her, "Wipe that look off your face, you look... predatory."

[snippy_about_it]

lol!

[Darksheare]

I DID get her a "No Fear" hat that says "A Predator's eyes are always in front"

[Darksheare]

True enough, if it's childproof.. hand it to a child.
My parents could NEVER get supposed childproof locks and caps open.
