Often the only difference between a Mac version and the PC version of these cards is the price$$$ and a few lines in the ROM which the MacOS drivers search for before accepting the card
So you still need a pc to flash it right? Or some expensive hardware?
All the drivers I have had to download, all have either a "make install" or "./install" that auto-magically makes things work.
I'd say that I've had more problems with Windows drivers. Lets not mention the VIA 4n1's, aye? One lots stuff a system so bad, so really needed a clean install to fix - or hours of detangling in Safe Mode.
The total cost of war will add up to billions of US dollars. Rehabilitating Iraq after such a war will add billions more to the cost. Oil prices are already soaring and effecting us already at the pump.
Think about it. IF it was primarily about OIL, there is a FAR cheaper way for the US to get their hands on it. The US should fire their accountants/economists/stategists if this was the case. They could easily screw other countries out of their oil.
When your AMI bios gets screwed, you copy the latest bios to a blank floppy and rename the file to AMIBOOT.ROM. Part of the bios on the machine never gets erased and will search for this file when switching the machine on after a bad flash.
Tell me, how does Dell plan to get around this? Oh wait, Dell have their own proprietary bios/cmos which REALLY suck. Ever tried editing the CMOS settings on a Dell? Good luck!
That's why Apple have reverted to using UNIX? Many an OS have been using *nix for many many years.
And then there's Apple being miles behind in what model AGP graphics they include in their machines (a GF4 MX for goodness sake), not too mention the fact that the OS never had decent stuff like an FTP/email/www client, etc, until the last minute.
Floppies and Vinyl records - it's a conspiracy !!!

Dell Dropping The Floppy

re: bad quality floppy media
It's like vinyl records. Far superior in sound quality than CD provided a) you have a good quality vinyl, and b) you have an amazing player/stylus. But as they were fazing out records for mainstream albums, they produced crappy quality records. I mean I had an album purchased in 1980 which has not crackles and hisses, whereas an album produced in the early nineties was all static.
iMacs sucked 'cos they dropped the floppy. There's nothing more irritating than using an iMac, Sparc , and now a Dell, and not being about to save your document to a floppy in a matter of seconds. Floppies are more convenient than a cd burner for the small jobs.
Let me see... so you support the censorship of the Bible, but not other forms of censorship? Ever actually read the Bible from cover to cover - to know what it actually says? Or this this just misinformed speculation?
"SearchKing began business as an Internet search engine and web hosting company in 1997, approximately a year before Google's inception. In August 2002, PR Ad Network began placing text ads for businesses on web sites with a high PageRank from Google, thereby becoming one of very few competitors to Google's advertising service. According to the lawsuit, once Google became aware of this, it lowered SearchKing's PageRank and the ranking of the web sites it hosts. "

It must be pretty good ASCII art then huh?
I recall reading somewhere that the X drivers for GF cards only has 2D acceleration. The NVidia modules will be necessary for 3D h/w accel.
It's because MS actually _OWNS_ the word "office" - and the word "word" for that matter. Arrogance!

Next well have manufacturers making us accept a EULA before installing the drivers that will forbid benchmarking their hardware. Sound familiar?
Exactly, Evolution is a belief system like any other religion.
In the future could a computer be made from a virus?
Hey Norton's just deleted my computer. Said it was a virus. Knew I should have used the quarantine.
1). Linux
2). WINE / WINEX / Crossover Office/Plugin
3). Free software galore
Not the 100's of them at my uni. Not even so much as a mounting slot to install one. Just a dumb terminal.

How many CD's do I need to rip until I have got my moneys worth - after paying the levies?
If levies are implemented (or the proposed ISP fees are universally implemented), how many CD's do I need to rip until I have got my moneys worth?
I don't copy/download music, but if I am paying for it anyway..........
Ask when someone will write a truly new and brilliant GPL Linux game comparable to mainstream Windows PC?
My Debian GNU/Linux although an excellent OS, is sadly lacking in this area.
