  Then again I was using the foam style filter which was a bad choice on my part, pantyhose tend to work much better.

• Gainward CARDEXpert GeForce 3

  Published: Friday, May 4, 2001 | By: Dennis

  Now here is a GeForce 3 card after my own heart. The Red PCB is just to hard to resist, plus it would be the perfect match to the FWD-P3C4XD motherboard that is in my system currently. Don't know how well it performs though I'd expect a par rating to the other offering.
  
  Now where to get one.. hummm

• New Banners

  Published: Tuesday, May 1, 2001 | By: Dennis

  Well I've refreshed my banner ads. I never really noticed until today but just about every company that had an ad on my site is no longer in business. I guess that is what I get for not paying attention.
  
  Speaking of paying, never mind that never works.

  All I can say is WOW! I knew that ATA100 was fast and heard the rumors of it rivaling SCSI but never found any benchmarks to support it. Until now, GamePC looked at the 60GXP, 75GXP, and the Seagate Cheetah X15, in a variety of benchmark tests. Not only does the 60GXP hold its own against the Cheetah but does so quietly.
  
  I don't know about you but there is just something about SCSI drives and their chugging that is just harmonious, that is until they start to give off that high-pitched squeal.
  See the results at GamePC
