Some how I doubt that you are buying a product that doesn't have a "hidden" federal tax already included in the price. When he says "Flat Tax", he means all taxes included.
So it doesn't make much of a difference to non-americans but we have always been paying tax on online transactions. For a little while you used to be able to pay less tax by buying something from a different province that charged less tax than your province but pretty much all the online store charge the correct tax now. Oh well, it's still cheaper to buy online than local and if you know what you want it's the same in the end.
No I was talking about the cards ATI said were 3d cards, the Rage chipset and beyond. They never advertised the Mach64 as a 3d card... As to T&L, anything that uses the OpenGl setup engine already does and yes even M$ does support hardware T&L, it's called DirectX 7.0
Wow, the preview at THG shows the GeForce as doing alot better than the ATI compared to the review at SharkyExtreme. (Just to sum it up for people who didn't read it.)
I am a little bit leary of ATI cards. I used to love them as the 1st video card I ever owned was an ISA ATI XL and then everntually I bought an ATI MACH64 a little whole later. But as far as 3d cards go, I haven't liked them. I remeber my friends getting buying the Rage chipsets and then finding out they couldn't play any game except the bundled games in 3d mode. Then the Rage Pro and 128, they're "ok" cards, but nothing great, but by how they advertised them you would think that they were king of the world or something. I would like to see a nice and fast ATI card again, but I'll have to see one to believe it.
P.S. It can't be a GeForce killer if it doesn't have T&L.
I would say that mandrake probable shipped with one of the 2.2.13-pre kernels, I'm guessing pre7 with a few mandrake patches by the look of your version line.
You don't even need to down your system to upgrade, I've changed everything but the kernel without rebooting. And as far as still supporting 6.0, they still release security updates as far back as 3.3 I believe.
Actually, the performance difference between a celeron 400 and a p2-400 is pretty slim. AFAIK, it's only about 3%. But I can't wait for my 2nd 300a and my new BP6 to arrive so I can run dual 464:)
I was personally glad that 56K modems came out. My transfer rates jumped from 3.5kps to 5.1kps when I went from 33.6 to 56K and a 50% speed increase may not be double, but it certainly is enough to be noticable. I am on a cable modem now and I could never go back to a plain modem, but for people who are in areas where they can't get highspeed access, they're better off with 56k than 33.6. Just my 2 cents.
Here in New Brunswick we have the telco vs the cable provider for high-speed access. ADSL vs Cable modems. The cable provider was the underdog but it just got bought out by Shaw, so we still need to wait and see what happens between the 2 ISP's now...
I don't find SMB that slow... between my 2 machines Dual-100 linux to celeron 450 win98, I get 900KB/sec on 10mbit and 4MB/sec on 100mbit. And yes those are bytes, not bits. The main reason it isn't any faster is the drive in the linux box can't go any faster, linux/ide-fireball -> win98/scsi-cheetah...

Because that same connector is probable used for the sub/center out if you want to use 5.1 sound.
If you read the article you would have seen that they run RTlinux (http://www.rtlinux.org/), which _is_ realtime...

Crashes on my redhat 6.2 system too, I just unziped the .xpi files by hand it and it works fine.
