Honestly, I think the last LAN was not that bad, as long as it's viewed as a social event instead of a LAN. Considering all the people that showed up without boxes, we probably should have just had a "get together" without systems.

I'm pretty sure a LAN on the 4th will work out, but I think I'll build a mid-range box just for that LAN.

Briney, if your card is malfunctioning, I'd be more than happy to loan you my 5600. It easily ran all the games we've been talking about. Is your motherboard still AGP?

Gooood....goooood. X has taken over math texts and problems, it has swallowed up numbers. X can now be a letter or a number...another step in becoming omnipresent and omnipetent (since X can stand for anything and X already knows what it stands for). Now it's taking over graphic cards! There will be no one to stop us...this time. Huuu paaaa Huuu paaaa.

On a related note, bring you computers to 5200 Croyden Ave. Apt 12202 Kalazoo, Michgan 49009. It's over by K10. If anyone needs further directions just call. The LAN will be on FRIDAY AUGUST 4TH, 2006 STARTING AT NOON.

Now I know people have jobs and won't be able to make it until later. If you can tell me who you are and around when you are planning to come...I'll set up the game list appropriately.

Also....

PCI-X 2.0 is a new version of the 33MHz PCI bus, which was really only adopted by the server industry. Most high-end SCSI and multi-camera video adapters are PCI-X. There are two versions of PCI-X. The first version, PCI-X R1, had two sub-versions, PCI-X 66 and PCI-X 133, at 66MHz and 133MHz, respectively.

The newer revision, PCI-X R2, also has two versions, PCI-X 266 and PCI-X 533. The 533MHz version provides over 4GB (4.3GB if memory serves) of bandwith, or (theoretically) 32 times faster than the PCI bus in your computer.

Theoretical numbers for servers are generally far more accurate than they are for consumer PC's. However, assuming the same degree of variance, the 4.3GB PCI-X 533 bus is easily twice as fast as the 2.1GB AGP 8x interface.
