The Gfx card is the main hardware for 3DMark2001 to bench, so you probably need a new one to increase your score by thousand-folds. My score: 3200 AMD Athlon 1.3Ghz DDR 512Mb DDR RAM 266MHz ATI Radeon 64Mb DDR VIVO Windows XP, DirecX 8.1, Radeon Beta 3211 drivers. I've seen higher scores though with similar systems, dunno why. The driver above is the only one which manages to get me a record-breaking 3200 marks.

nah you won't want an nvidia card, what with all the BSODs (blue screen of death) it likes to make on Win2k/XP I would go for an ATI Radeon 8500, but thats me.

Flashget, makes as many simultaneous connections as you want (www.amazesoft.com - site is down at time of typing this) DAP only allows 4 connections last time I used it.

I know that I can't send files through MSN or IRC through NAT software (ICS, Wingate, whatever)

Nah, I keep my machine on all the time. Its only shutdown during a thunderstorm or when I need to take a look inside the PC/or Upgrade.

The best web host you can get is to use your own ISP Webspace! they're usually fast and allow image linking. Works good for me anyway.

do you have any macros running? Maybe it isn't macros, since I don't remember macros showing mouse movements (at least not in office 97, but they probably have improved then by showing mouse movements) Or probably some annoying virus that affects office xp products making your mouse move about randomly.

There's already an 8.1

Its a crappy peice of software. Don't expect it to resolve your crash or BSOD woes. It only fixes invalid shortcuts, remove invalid registry entries and remove invalid .help files. Thats about it. All that can be done without using the bloated Norton Utilities. Just get a good small regclean program such as RegCleaner from www.jv16.org and that will remove invalid registry entries for you. And since when would some invalid shortcuts bother anyone? its easy to fix anyway.

me too, that site is a lifesaver

I'll probably get NTL Cable when I move into a rented house (where NTL is f***ing available! lol) with my mates when I start Uni in sept (if I ever get a place!)

You mean like a LAN Messenger client which you can use to send messages/files to other users on a LAN? I use Vypress Messenger and its the best I could find. Its still a bit of a nuisance to use though. Wish MS would make MSN Messenger for LAN networks :-( Anyhow, here's the URL www.vypress.com

In XP, open up the Command Prompt ( Start > Run > cmd ) and type: CONVERT D: /FS:NTFS It will convert your D: drive without losing any files. But a backup is recommended.

so.... is anybody gonna post their own internet stats for January 2002 or am I just gonna sit here looking stupid? :hmmm:

Anyone using DU Meter or any other connection logging utility.... tell us your stats for January! Here's mine: [b:250f335f1e]January 2002[/b:250f335f1e] Downloaded: [b:250f335f1e]8.46GB[/b:250f335f1e] Uploaded: [b:250f335f1e]2.93GB[/b:250f335f1e] Both Directions: [b:250f335f1e]11.39GB[/b:250f335f1e] Connection time: [b:250f335f1e]30 days and 16 hours[/b:250f335f1e] Connection speed: [b:250f335f1e]56K Modem with 2 hourly disconnection[/b:250f335f1e]

Its 100% retail copy, no cracking of files required.

Why is this posted here? It would have been ok to post about Lindows in General Forum.

heh, a lot of you are confused with how long its taking to defrag XP in minutes/hours. I've done a lot of tests in the past.... using a big 30gb hard drive: Windows 98 FAT32 - Using standard defrag it takes [b:5ba598f1b8]4 - 6[/b:5ba598f1b8] hours But with Diskeeper 5 or 6 (whatever I had at the time) It took about [b:5ba598f1b8]10 - 15[/b:5ba598f1b8] mins on its first run, then took only [b:5ba598f1b8]5[/b:5ba598f1b8] mins every other time I ran diskeeper. Win2K / XP - FAT32 - Using Standard defrag, diskeeper 7, norton speed disk, or O&O - It is always slow, no matter what. Takes at least [b:5ba598f1b8]3[/b:5ba598f1b8] hours to finish. Win2k / XP - NTFS - Using standard defrag - took about [b:5ba598f1b8]30[/b:5ba598f1b8] mins. But using Diskeeper 7 I can defrag in [b:5ba598f1b8]2-3[/b:5ba598f1b8] mins, and its scheduled to defrag every 48 hours in the overnight period when I'm asleep. What better could I get? Using Diskeeper 7 on an NTFS file system is the best you can get! And besides, is best for Win2k or XP to run on its own native file system - NTFS. Its self repairing and speedy on 30+ GB drives too.

geee tris... you cheating on MOHAA? You sux!!! I'm on mission 6 part 2 in the snow forest atm and I can't carry on until I get back to my other PC until Monday :-( !! Hey Elite, you're tellng me you have completed MOHAA without cheating, and couldn't finish RTCW without cheating?!! IMO I found MOHAA harder than RTCW, and I'm cheating in neither of them!
