screen = teh pwnzage

graphics = not teh pwnzage

make sure it has FireWire too...

**filburt1** · Apr 14th, 2002, 07:37 PM

I won't be doing Firewire stuff on here...I've got my desktop machine for vid editing, and a wired network for file transfers.

Was referring to external storage like FireWire hard drives...

Sure you don't want the 8x CDRW upgrade instead?

**Gandalf_Grey_** · Apr 14th, 2002, 07:38 PM

Wouldn't be using that either.

This sux0rs, it doesn't look like you can select a vid card for the 2600...am I right?

You have a desktop, duh, it's easy to open it up and stick a new hard drive or burner in there

Filburt is getting a laptop for college

**sail3005** · Apr 14th, 2002, 07:40 PM

kind of off topic, but how does firewire compare to usb 2 in speed?

**filburt1** · Apr 14th, 2002, 07:41 PM

USB2 is barely faster, Firewire 2 will 0wn all

I think USB 2 has better burst rates but FireWire is better constant transfer rates

Or its the other way around...

Does the laptop have Wi-Fi in it?

How many PC card slots?

Theoretical max for Firewire is 400 mbits/sec, USB2 is 480 mbits/sec, either way that's way faster than IDE if I recall correctly...

I think it has two PC card slots, but internal Wifi isn't an option

Then why are firewire hard drives slower than IDE? or maybe i am mixed up

**sail3005** · Apr 14th, 2002, 07:44 PM

*** is wifi?

400MBits, that's like 50MB/sec

FireWire will always be slower and more expensive than IDE but of course it's portable and it's good for n00bs to scared to open their case

BTW, I took screenshots of my 1337

On Macs they suck, I think it's just badly written drivers or just too much overhead. Suppsedly though the iPod transfers files really quickly (5 mins for 2.3 GB), so software probably makes a big difference.

**sail3005** · Apr 14th, 2002, 07:49 PM

wow, that is faster than IDE, right?

**JungleMan** · Apr 14th, 2002, 07:50 PM

No FireWire interface is faster than IDE...

**filburt1** · Apr 14th, 2002, 07:51 PM

So am I blind or can you just not customize the graphics on the 2600?

**sail3005** · Apr 14th, 2002, 07:51 PM

well, there is no way my comp could reach those speeds

**Gandalf_Grey_** · Apr 14th, 2002, 07:52 PM

then there is the story of someone stealing office XP for mac from the store, i don't get why he chose to go out in public to do it with security guards looking for thiefs, just download it off the net. jeez

**sail3005** · Apr 14th, 2002, 07:53 PM

LOL LOL i remember that. ingenius!

It's harder to find Mac software online

**sail3005** · Apr 14th, 2002, 07:55 PM

the guy didn't get caught either

**Gandalf_Grey_** · Apr 14th, 2002, 07:56 PM

i still wouldn't risk it, if you get caught doing that you are in deep ****. the chances of getting caught online are alot less even if it takes you hours to find it

**sail3005** · Apr 14th, 2002, 07:57 PM

true, i would never do it. but it was just a funny story

**Gandalf_Grey_** · Apr 14th, 2002, 08:28 PM
