Those are the things that mattered to me. the 8250 Dells are the highend home user setup so I feel like the rest of the system will support all this POWA

Being multi-certified.........ie A+, Net+, Net+I, MCP, MCSA, CCNA and a CNA.
I can say that, well nosehair.....you could have built a better system cheaper.....btw that 1500.00 no monitor either right?
My hobby is building and sellng computers.....a little extra cash hobby. I have yet to still upgrade or buy anything new........oops..no wonder I lag all the time. LOLOL.
But no, honestly, that sounds like one helluva system. Nice pickup. Dell is excellent for customer support too, just watch their commercials on TV. (lol)
Good luck with your new box. Enjoy the fastness, me I'm waiting for the 3.0 AMD coming
henrya Posted - Feb 28 2003 : 03:58:38

Nosehair-OMO Posted - Feb 27 2003 : 09:40:36

PacemakerOMO Posted - Feb 27 2003 : 06:03:37
"now what's up with this dern scroll wheel, it workd fine on web pages but won't zoomin and out in HW............"

Hey nasalgrowth, hold hold the control key ans see if that lets ya zoommmmmmm
HEARTBURN-OMO Posted - Feb 27 2003 : 04:20:18
I don't know Nose-mine has always worked, just plug and play and I'm on my 4th one. You might try clicking your wheel while in the game and see if that works. You might try going to setup on your mouse and going to the section where you assign tasks to the buttons. Make sure you have the right settings on the wheel. That's all I know to do. If that don't work, I guess you'll be forced to do what you've always done, hold both left and right buttons and move your mouse forwards and backwards to zoom in and out.
Nosehair-OMO Posted - Feb 26 2003 : 17:09:30
Oh My GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

sorry.......i got it up and running now.

now what's up with this dern scroll wheel, it workd fine on web pages but won't zoomin and out in HW............
Nosehair-OMO Posted - Feb 21 2003 : 17:58:57
BP ?!?!......wth (what the heck) this is nosehair man. If my game doesn't improve, i guess i need to check the return policy
HEARTBURN-OMO Posted - Feb 21 2003 : 09:25:39
lol @ smelly! BTW BP- Sorry, a new machine does not mean you'll play better, heh.! Of course the most important thing is if it makes you THINK you can play better. Heh!
SmellyFart Posted - Feb 21 2003 : 07:45:02
There are two different memory standards right now... RDRAM and DDR, PC1066 is good, but a little more expensive to upgrade right now compared to DDR RAM, $10, per 128MB so who cares. Two different standards, two different fights, who's right, I don't know... your 1066 is good for P4's, and a good match for the 533 FSB if that is what your getting on the motherboard... which if it is the top of the line Dell, then it should be FSB533. You are getting two phycial chips, 256 each chip, if your motherboard only has two slots for memory, then you are full and would have to pull one or both chips if you want to go above 512MB.

Final word... I don't know who's right and who cares.... Intel and IBM, pushes RDRAM, others push DDR... DDR400 is the fastest out their at the moment... but it's all about balance.. and your system seems fairly well balanced.... just to give you final confusion.. your 9700 pro more than likely uses DDR, since it's cheaper and faster than RDRAM....

Really confused... you will never know the diffence...have another beer.

Nosehair-OMO Posted - Feb 21 2003 : 07:16:55
LOL boy there's a typo.......yep 9700
I hope it helps my HW game. Maybe I just haven't been able to see the ships that well.
could be a short coming on a number i don't quite get. what's that PC 1066 (512 MB PC1066 RDRAM (2 RIMMs) ), smelly said PC 2700/333. is that going to slow somthing down
Petrified-OMO Posted - Feb 20 2003 : 23:06:14
"Radeon 2700 PRO"

You mean the 9700 Pro right? Otherwise, you're being jiped
SmellyFart Posted - Feb 20 2003 : 18:28:58
Very Cool, make sure the DDR RAM is 2700 /333 if possible, or the fastest they have..
