No it wasn't. Most of the OS was the same; but improved. For example, instead of individual management tools they designed and impleemented the Microsoft Management Console.
Exactly... And Microsoft Management Console (MMC) is available for NT4 as a download from MS's site... I know because I had to download and install it when I installed Norton AntiVirus 2002 Corporate Edition (required for certain Norton AV components).
FWIW, there were news pieces posted on Ace's Hardware and Tom's Hardware that quoted AMD as saying that the Athlon64 is 15% faster clock for clock than the Athlon XP chips. So, yes, there is some potential for a "better computing experience".
I had a friend who made one, and did a demonstration for us....:) It turned the potato into mashed potato quite well (no sign of the skin anywhere LOL). He used about a 5 foot pvc pipe, so I guess it was pretty fast, since you say that 6 feet gets you approx. 200mph. The way he made it (as far as firing goes) was to use one of those "spin-strikers" from an old coleman camp lantern. And LOTS of Aquanet. It was quite fun:)
Yes, it works under Win2k. One of 3Dfx's last releases was a "decent" Win2k driver. But, on today's games, it doesn't always display things correctly. On XP, you can try and use the Win2k driver, but it is screwy and just plain sux. If you still have one of these cards (like me) you find that it still works best under Win98... I have never tried the "3rd party" drivers by various people that are available on the internet.
I had my Voodoo 5 in my Red Hat Linux box until lately, when I decided I wanted dual head and got a Matrox G450 cheap from eBay (not too bad, it works, but the drivers could use some refinement!).
Displays a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1920 at 63Hz
WTF? Who uses 63 Hz. Anything below 70 makes my eyes go nuts. 80s what I shoot for (or an LCD!).
The higher your max capabilities, the better the lower ones get. Since the parent to my post said 1920x1440, there's a good chance it'll hit at least 75Hz at that resolution.
As for myself, I don't need anything over 1600x1200 @ 85Hz, thus that monitor would do me just fine (and I'd love to have it, if it were free:) LOL)

They need to offer a choice of distro disks when you customize
They didn't give you the disks when you ordered a laptop with Linux? Or am I misinterpreting what you typed?
Your idea is a good one, except for the fact that there would be some newbies wanting to get into linux and a base install (interpreted as minus XFree86) wouldn't get them very far. Newbs like GUIs. (Generally speaking). Most people I know don't run servers with X (I'm not saying it doesn't happen) Then again, who runs a server on a laptop?
Just curious, at what density would you say it will not work past? I have done the pcb swap on a couple 40GB drives, and I was able to recover the data.
... I am still waiting on an affordable flat-panel to replace this monitor. See, this is a 19" CRT, and I have yet to see a 19" flat-panel within my budget.

Sixteen thousand 48-bit registers? *Think* about it!
Exactly! I'm by no means an uber-cpu-internals-geek, but the sixteen thousand 48-bit registers sent up the troll flag immediately.
That's twice this week I've seen a troll with +5... wtf is going on here?! LOL

if you want blistering heat... try Pentium 4 laptop...
56dB in 2D mode! Whoa mama! I'm definitely not going to bother with that card now that I've read that.
I'll take faster and cheaper :)
OT: Anyone know if D3 is going to have Linux version?

Umm no... this happens to be an MS exploit.
In particular, it affects XMLHTTP.
See here and here
If someone who is behind a firewall or just wants see the traffic but can't get to it, I've listed what my router has been seeing lately: Click here.
hmm, remote X sessions, with security, and doesn't slow down your processor in the crypto process... All I have to say is: C O O L ! :)

hmm in that case, a re-write would clear the violation, right? So, all the vendors can tell SCO to piss up a tree! :) (maybe... hopfully)
You can salvage rare-earth magnets from cdrom drives, too! :) I have a few.

I was inclined to think it a 50/50 split :)
I hate mac keyboards (at least the bog standard one I always see) ... not big enough, keys feeling too cramped.. etc..
:) (it is attached to a Beige G3).
I have an apple extended II keyboard (as shown in this picture) and I would not describe it as small by any means
My two 10K rpm cheetahs are fairly loud... I learned to get used to it. :)
The newer firewire just released is 800Mbps, see the New 17" PowerBook with Firewire 800 Thus, USB is behind again...
