video cards...i'm partial to ati. not necessarily the fastest (well, the 9700's are supposed to be the current 'speed demons'), but they work for me (running an aiw 8500 128).

if you're going with an lcd panel in the future they also have dvi-i outputs.

i have a bad monitor next to me at work. it gives me a headache, so right now it acts as a part of my computer/monitor cubicle.

Re: MAC ?

I had a similar issue, my network connection would drop if I let the mac sleep, and then wake it. I called applecare and they told me to turn off the sleep and leave it on screensaver. I was like WTF!?!??!?!

why is that? so my stupid simple solution to this problem everytime is to stick my headphone pin to the headphone hole in the back and take it out. for some reason that always works. then everything's fine after that. but when my computer is idle for a while, the sound is disabled again. i even looked in my control panel and the sound is on.

can anyone help me with this problem?

i remember i applied for a QA job at Interplay. but then i realized that i didn't want to sit there and play Star Wars RPG's over and over again, day in, day out. QA is only for the hardcore.

yup, that's what i meant. you play the same shit over and over, for weeks or months. you find bugs, duplicate it, report it. plus, you have a deadline. and most of the time these are games that you have no interest in, like Barbie's rollerblading or something stupid like that.
