"if it's an AMD K5-133, as seems to be the case, this is basically like a Pentium 75"
You are thinking of the AMD 5x86-133, which was actually a 486-133. The performance was about the same as a P75. The K5-133 is a real 586 CPU, whose performance was on par with a Pentium 133.
You don't have to download any 600 MB files to get DivX;-) movies. You need a DVD-ROM drive, a DVD ripper, and a program like FlaskMPEG. Getting a DivX;-) movie is as easy as going to Blockbuster.
You say that the cases you have found have proprietary motherboards with no AGP. Could the Radeon All-In-Wonder PCI be any help? ATI's site doesn't mention it yet (although I've read comments from people who claim to have one), but these guys are selling it.
Yeah, really. My school's filtering system doesn't even have goatse.cx blocked. Once, this kid I don't like (you know the type...always asking to borrow a dollar) asked me how to get around the filter (I had been using another proxy), and I told him to go to goatse.cx. My fellow nerds and I retired to the nerdery with our calculators and had quite a laugh.
I did a search on Pricewatch for these, and it seems that a couple of people are selling them for around $200 each. Then I searched for PIII 800s. The cheapest one was around $175. This can't be good.
NVidia IMHO makes the best current 3d hardware, but they have nothing in the business/SOHO/laptop/OEM market that I'm aware of, whereas Matrox and ATI have vast sums of revenue from those markets.
NVidia holds a huge share of the OEM market. Most of Gateway and Dell's home PCs come with a NVidia TNT2 M64 card. Their workstation PCs typically ship with the TNT2 Pro or some other NVidia card standard. NVidia has also had OEM success with the Vanta and GeForce2 MX chipsets. They have also released a new mobile GeForce2 chipset, so we can expect to see NVidia hit that market in the near future as well.
In short, don't assume that becuase NVidia has become the de facto monopolist in the gamer market (with a very, very small foothold in the workstation market[1]) they are somehow the totality of the video card market. They will continue to face competition from Matrox and ATI for the forseeable future.
NVidia's market has grown far beyond the garmer-speed-freak market. Not only have they taken over 3dfx's retail arena, but they are now digging very deep into ATI and Matrox's territory.
I haven't seen a P100 for sale in a long time.
You must not have been looking very hard. Like I told the other guy, I've got a huge stash of these right here. I could supply Be's production myself!
But would it work for playing 2 streams off hard disk, one streamed off the web, and one while encoding off a CD, to different areas of your house simultaneously...?
Um, in case you forgot, the current President of the United States is Bill Clinton, not GW Bush.
That's right. And not only is Bush not the president, he never will be the president. We haven't elected our next president yet. Our next Emperor, on the other hand, is GWBush.

Have you ever seen a DivX-encoded DVD rip? Try making your own. You'd be impressed.
Or, you could do both! When I rent DVDs, I create a high-res DivX ;-) for my PC, and a VCD for my DVD player. Very convenient.

It is.
It appears that they have their own game, and therfore their own EULA.

Will this be 2600's next bumper-sticker campaign?
d00d, I know this guy who wears all of those PLUS chain mail shirts!

Yeah. And Rhys Fulber rules!
A while ago, I was looking into making a 3D version of the awesome QBASIC game, gorillas. Now I can just use this and change the weapons into bananas!
Works great.

Could a Celeron 400 handle this?
Works fine for me.
Who needs mass production? I've got plenty of these sitting in my closet. I'd be happy to sell them for $5 each.
That's right. And not only is Bush not the president, he never will be the president. We haven't elected our next president yet. Our next Emperor, on the other hand, is GWBush.
Imagine how expensive it would be to replace one of these if you were to burn one up.
A P100 should work just fine for playing MP3s.
If I'm not mistaken, these copy the NEXTstep look and feel, and these are a lot more than just themes.
that Corel was going to sell a Linux distribution for Intel ARM platforms?
That explains the unfair moderation!
