From AMD "fan" to INTEL "fan" in one night.

[Mephistopheles]

a) a required or allowed amount b) a share or portion

Yes, but physicists use quantum for extremely small things only. Like "Quantum World" - much in the same way as mathematicians use the greek "Epsilon" for a small, but still measurable (BTW, "measurable" was also in quantum's definition) amount. That is what I meant. A quantum jump in physics is not only a sudden/abrupt increase/decrease, but also a small one - as in electronic states in classic atomic theory (according to Bohr)... Or adjacent discrete energy level jumps in quantum physics or something... That's from were I know these words...

But I must admit that, from what I read in the dictionary right now, your use of the word might be acceptable... (it is highly unusual for me, but hey, I try to keep my mind open)...

Now go get ur "quantum leap"

I'll try! Thanks... Maybe HT will help me surf the net while I play Mp3 and edit Word documents without stuttering my god damned mu-mu-music! It's annoying! I'm hoping to upgrade by the end of the year, given my current income... (who knows, maybe prescott? A little Scotty for me? ooohh yeeeesss DOOM 3!)

Funny thing, <b>Slvr</b> ranted about Quantum Leap

<b>Slvr</b> as in <b>slvr_phoenix?</b> or u call <b>Mephistopheles - slvr</b>.

me says: If it was not for <b><font color=red>C</font color=red></b>, we wud be using <font color=blue><b>BASI, PASAL & OBOL</font color=blue></b>
<b>slvr_phoenix</b> says: But I'd still be using Python. 😛

Urm what would possibly hint you that Slvr is Mephisto?! Ain't no v in his name anyways.

Yes I was refering to Slvr_Phoenix.

well, slvr isnt even here in this thread... so u mentioned slvr, so i took a wild guess that u were referring to mephiste...as slvr.

me says: If it was not for <b><font color=red>C</font color=red></b>, we wud be using <font color=blue><b>BASI, PASAL & OBOL</font color=blue></b>

hey there. I'm looking foward to making an upgrade to 3 pc's for under $2000. I'm trying to go from a Athlon1200/KT133A, Duron750/KT , Celeron600@675/i815. They all have 256MB SDRAM and no less tan 20GB HDD (old but my budget ain't that big either) I thought of going for 1 AXP2600+/nForce2 and 2 AXP 1800+/KT333A all with Corsair DDR400 256MB Ram. the rest of the system is pretty much the same, except for a selection of the video card, cause 1 is very old (Graphics Blaster Riva TNT) and the other right now is very problematic (3D Prophet 4500 64MB) giving me lots of BSOD in WinXP Pro (not SP1, maybe that's the problem?)
So tell me if it's feaseble and were in Miami can I find at least these parts (BestBuy, COmpUSA are WAY BAD)

Me, I've always been a Sun fan. . .
