  1. Review - Paint Shop Pro

    7.04 (Aug 24, 2001)

    Two 3's by the guy below... So two 5's from me, there is nothing -program- wrong with this, you wont find bugs (at least I havent yet). This deserves a 5 it is easy to use and nice. Birds have wings.

  2. Review - nVIDIA GeForce Drivers for Windows

    14.61 Beta (Aug 17, 2001)

    I am disappointed in nVidia right now. The 20.80 drivers have been released to certain individuals (Tom of Tom's Hardware) and these will increase the GeForce by 25+% speed wise, and yet they release these 14.6X, who cares about the 14's let us have the freaking Detonator 4 drivers and make our GeForce cards kill the new ATI 8500 series card.

  3. Review - nVIDIA GeForce Drivers for Windows

    14.20 Beta (Jul 19, 2001)

    These drivers SUCK for a GeForce 256. I have a 1.4Ghz Athlon w/256 PC2100 ram, and yes i know the video card sucks for the computer, but you be married and see how much money you have left out to spend hehe. Seriously though, i dropped 330+ points using these drivers and 3dMark2001. Check out madonion.com for 3dmark. Anyways, TERRIBLE drivers for a GeForce 256. P-U

  4. Review - CPUCooL

    6.1.11 (Jul 16, 2001)

    I had originally praised this program over MBM5.X, but im beginning to have second thoughts, the program doesnt seem to be programmed to well, i have a friend who tells me he has to enter his registration # everytime he uses it. That said, I will not be registring this product, Motherboard Montior does it for free, and that is my .02

  5. Review - MotherBoard Monitor

    5.08 (Jun 28, 2001)

    This thing has some potential, but it stops there. The gauges are cool, but too small, and dont get me started about any of the other interface options.

    My complaint mostly is that it is such a pain in the butt to get to work, While I do not like CoolMonitor much better mostly because it sucks in its display, it does allow you to load settings for a particular motherboard.

    I couldnt get MBM to monitor my GB-7DXR w/ 1.4 Athlon, it would monitor one temp, the others it said they were at 39 degress ferenheit. Right, and Bill Gates is my friend in the OS Business.

    CoolMonitor gets my vote, for the better of the two, I just wish someone would make one that was simple, clean, and had some of both MBM and CM combined. CM seems to work better, but I like the sensing ability of MBM for all your sensors onboard.

  7. Comment - Interview: Intrinsity's Dynamic Logic

    Good job BetaNews, thanks for following it up!

    Now if you could just kick them squaw in the nuts to make em talk hehe.

  8. Comment - Interview: Intrinsity's Dynamic Logic

    5.08 (Aug 28, 2001 - 3:05 PM)

    "BN: Have AMD, IBM, Intel, Motorola, or any other companies offered to purchase Intrinsity since last week's breakthrough announcement?

    PN: The company is focused on developing products. The press release was a means to put a snow plow in front of our marketing efforts and to reach customers needing high performance embedded processors. The technology is applicable to the entire high performance digital semiconductor market."

    -= Or in other words =-

    Q: How long is your car?

    A: My car has length, but there is so much more than that, I have a car could be measured against other cars.

    ---

    BetaNews, I like you guys, but how about some follow up questions, like for example, "Could you answer the question I asked you, HAS Intel or AMD contacted you."

    I know you are trying to keep an in to the technology side, but providing us with incomplete information is somewhat frustrating. Im glad you brought us the story, but complete it. Find out some of the -important- details, Im sure embedded processor chips is important, but the people who would want to know about it, found out about it in InfoWorld a couple of weeks ago. WE are beta testers, and want to know about desktop fisability (sp?). Make them answer the questions.

    Its like this,

    Statement: I Have a new car engine technology that will run off of water, and actually replenish the ozone layer

    Question: Has Ford, Chevy, Mitsubishi etc. contacted you?

    Answer: The car engine, its great.

    Follow-Up Q: Could you answer my question?

    If their answer is: The car engine is superb.

    You can make the following assumption, No no one has contacted them, and there product maybe the savior of mankind but until someone markets it, its nothing.

    -PEACE-

  9. Comment - Hotmail Flaw Raises Questions Over XP Security

    Sorry Squall, my message was seriously messed up, there are so many more details, just trying to say I had a simular problem this weekend. I have 2 2k servers in our network, 1 is an IIS Server, the other I was told it wasnt running IIS, so I didnt check it. (My fault, im stupid) It turns out the 1 I didnt check was running IIS and did get it, but the one that was supposed to be running IIS that I did patch did not get it. Now I am going back to see what really is installed and what isnt. I am sorry for that stupid message.

    If you are running 2000, perhaps server, though I am not sure why it would be in a training room, but just in case you are, check to make sure you do not have code red II. I was surprised this weekend to find one of our computers here that wasnt supposed to have any inet services running did, and was very angry at myself for not patching it anyway before hand, but thinking it was NOT an IIS server I didnt bother with it, just our webserver... anyway long story short it gave a very simular problem to the one you are asking about. Its easy enough to get around and fix but it maybe your problem.
