unixronin: Pissed-off avatar (Pissed off)

  • Redesigning all the project pages ... yeah, this I'll grant, it does look cleaner, but a lot of information is now hidden.
  • Filling up my project pages with advertising without asking me, largely for stupid crap you couldn't PAY me to advertise.  I guess now we know what drove the redesign and what that information got hidden to make room for.
  • Dumping useless, NOP messages in my project forums that will serve only to make people look at the forums to see what the messages are, and then get pissed off at the waste of time and bandwidth.
  • ....Stupid useless NOP messages that you PROVIDE NO WAY TO DELETE.

 

Bite me.

Sourceforge has jumped the shark.

unixronin: Sun Ultrasparc III CPU (Ultrasparc III)

So, vorlon has this troublesome LeadTek WinFast PX6600TD video card that's been problematic and unreliable since I bought it.  After ten months, I finally persuaded LeadTek that it's a problem, and got them to send me a replacement card under RMA.

The good news:  The original card is rev. A1, the replacement is rev. F1.

The bad news:  Early indications so far are that the replacement card is even more unstable than the one it's replacing.

I'm beginning to suspect that the heart of the problem is that this is just a crappy card, period, and that I won't really get rid of the problem until I can replace it with a different card.

The replacement card won't be made by LeadTek.
