Tool for removing the elements of the Detonator 30.xx drivers that conflict with the 40.xx drivers.
Fix: Version 1.1.1 Released. Removed references to install the "new drivers now" as program works better after new drivers are
installed. www.jester2k.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk (Download Jester2K Detonator 30.xx To 40.xx Fix v1.1.1)

XBOX Media Player 2.0
If you can't afford the new Windows XP Media Center edition, why not grab yourself a modded XBOX, and check out the XBOX Media Player 2.0. (www.xboxmediaplayer.de)
The official site has some screen shots and previews. I am sure Gates will be real upset about this one. Somehow $300 for an x-box setup is cheaper than the $2000 XP boxes


Sexy Video Shows Off GeForce FX Power
Although not as obviously pornographic as BMX XXX, nVidia's rendering of a scantily clad pixie left little to the imagination. Filmy, almost sheer leaves cover the wood sprite's private parts -- and seem to be added as an afterthought. The rendering, created by one of the Final Fantasy designers, is both beautiful and slightly unsettling.
According to an nVidia representative, a version of this demo does exist with the leaves removed. "We're bringing porno to graphics", chortled the exec, who wished to remain nameless.
We'll try as hard as we can to uncover the X-rated version of this demo, but for now you'll just have to imagine what she'll look like when the
leaves fall from the trees -- as it were.

100959 2002-11-24 22:22:00 From what I hear, the reccommend you have at least a 32MB Card minimum for that, and with cards getting cheaper all the time, its a great upgrade. The latest Readeon 9700 can do Real High framerates at 1600x1200 resolutions. Budget cards are able to be picked up from www.pricespy.co.nz for around $150. I'd reccommend a nVidia GeForce 440MX At least, with the GeForce 4 being not too much more, if you've got a fat enough wallet. Dont forget they reccommend a lot of RAM too, and with SD-RAM being very cheap, D-RAM is coming down in price too! Chilling_Silence (9)
