yolkboy Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 A Banana Junior 6000 with Bananawrite Bananadraw and bananamanager What system is that? I'm confused... Eldritch, did you get an Alienware? And to All, what should I get? ATI Radeon 9800 256MB or the GeForce FX 5900 Ultra 256MB. I heard about Nvidia fudging their score on system mark. The 5900 was "drawing only the visible portions of Game 4 programmable shader test, and not the entire scene. This gave the Nvidia card high frame rate scores - at least compared with those of ATI videocards, which have always drawn the entire scene." - Maximum PC Aug. 03 What do you guys think? Oh and how do you make a sig? What are the parameters and stuff. And how do I insert it? Thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always get numbers mixed up:rolleyes: I really have a 1.3 AMD Thunderbird:D EDIT: Yolk just make an image (jpg ir gif) that is 500x80 and upload it to a website (i can do this for u just pm me:D) then to insert it. take the link to the pic and insert it in between the tags. don't forget to end the tag with a /img in the bracets:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritch Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Originally posted by yolkboy Eldritch, did you get an Alienware? Yep. Area-51, boy. :^P Oh and how do you make a sig? What are the parameters and stuff. And how do I insert it? Thx! You use a image editing program like Photoshop, PaintShop Pro, Photosuite... Paint (if it comes to that - should be as a last resort ONLY) to create a sig. The dimensions for the LF sig used to be 500x80 pixels max, but the new system doesn't have any limits. Still, you shouldn't make it TOO big. Take a look at some of the sigs you see around here, and gauge it for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yolkboy Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Thanks guys I have Paint and it doesn't even compare to Photoshop. I used Photoshop at my school all the time. I won't be using it to make a sig I guess because I don't really like the program. It's just not as powerful. I guess I'll have to wait till I get to school Is there a student price that I can buy Photoshop? Maybe for $200 or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elegy Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Dude, you hooked your computer up to car speakers? Sweet! You ought to take that a bit further and stick your comp in your car! At one of my Mustang forums this guy rigged up something like that inside his Mustang. It's sweet as hell. Here's some pics. http://www.azcomps.com/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=carcomp As for my computer, I've got it hooked up to the Yamaha stereo system in my room. I never ever touch my CDs anymore because of it, I can just play the mp3s off my computer. But the stats are as follows. Nothing *too* impressive but it keeps up reasonably with most of the latest games. 900 mghz AMD Duron processor MSI KT17 Turbo motherboard 512 megs of DIMM ram 64 meg video card (GeForce4 MX 420) 17" Proview monitor 40 gig HD 52x CD ROM (hot tip: anything faster than 30x just spins too damn fast to read and makes things lag. Take it from me, I learned the hard way.) Sony CD Burner (reads at 32x, burns up to 8x) Saitek X45 Joystick (this thing rocks, the throttle and joystick are seperate) Microsoft laser mouse, can't remember the model And a Cable modem suscribed to Comcast.

I heard about Nvidia fudging their score on system mark. They were both fudging their scores. nVidia was just doing it more so than ATi. But once it's all said and done, the cards are actually about equal. It just depends on what game you play. If you play games that are made for nVidia cards, get the GF FX. If you play games made for ATi, then get the Radeon. That's basically how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that my competition would lie with Eldritch's system. It's real nice. P.S. - I forgot keyboard and mouse...lol.

Elegy Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Originally posted by yolkboy Those pics of the car w/ comp are tight! Damn I wish I can do that. 1st, I need a car... How did you hook your comp up to your stereo system? I know. I'd love to do that to my mustang. But I've got bigger probs to deal with first. The thing is a 1985 GT so it's almost as old as I am. Leaks coolant, makes a funny scraping sound when it idles sometimes. I'm thinking of either giving the whole thing an engine rebuild or just going down to a dealer and trading it in for a '96, '97, or somewhere around that year range. Another Mustang, either a GT or a Cobra. Just so long as the thing has 8 cylinders. I don't see the point in having a V6 sportscar. As for the stereo to the computer, it was real easy. All you need is a cheap $8 cord you can find at Radioshack. On one end it has a single jack like a headphone jack. This will fit directly into your sound card where you normally would plug in your speakers. On the other end of this cord it branches off into two plugs, those red and white ones for stereos. I just popped the thing in the CD slot of my tuner so when I push CD it switches to the computer's sound. It's great. I play all my games in 6-speaker surround sound. I've got two waist-high speakers at the corners of the "front" of my room, and some RCA wall speakers above them. Then behind me are two more RCA wall speakers in the two corners above my bed. Now all I need is a sub-woofer and I'll be set. I'm not sitting directly in the middle of this whole setup when I'm on my computer, but that's because that spot is reserved for my TV.
