BumpWater Demo looks real dumb on a laptop.

i downloaded it and tried. I'm not home now. It looks real dumb on a Toshiba Portege.

There should be laptops with g400 chips in them, no?

Sadly, best graphic chips for laptops come from S3

I found out tonight what happens when you carefully assemble a computer and then forget about the RAM. It complains *loudly* after you hit the power switch. What a racket!

I'd like to say it was a scientific experiment, but it was really just premature (and advancing!!) senility. As I carried the damn thing into the next room, I thought to myself, "did I forget something?"

I'll post another thread paul about my experiences the other day with yanking components out of your system while it's running.

I built a new computer the other day (PIII 600, BE6-2, G400 MAX, etc.) and it wouldn't boot. I changed the PS, the RAM, the processor, took out all the cards except the MAX, nothing. I thought, well maybe the MAX is defective and I replaced it with a G200 from another machine. While doing so, I noticed I had connected the monitor to the secondary output of the MAX.

DOOH

Hey, I've done that!

Fortunately, I noticed quickly.

Actually, the best chips made for Laptops are Rage128 chips. It's kinda nice to be able to turn your shiny new Compaq into a DVD player... it's also kinda disconcerting when the guy with a Compaq on the plane has better DVD than I do on my G400. GRRRR. 'Course a TFT and iDCT will do that to ya.
