Gone for about a week

[KoMoDo]

hey guys,
im usually on general hardware forum, and sometime general software.

on saturday, im getting my connection disconnected, and then flying back to israel on sunday. i wont have a connection there until about a week after i land or so, its really not up to me so it can even be 2 days from sunday, or it can be 2 weeks (that'll be MAX).
right now its Friday, July 30th, so tomorrow ill get disconnected.

hope you guys wont miss me :-P

cya,

KoMoDo

[Hi Ho]

Hey good luck transporting your computer. Hope it works. Talk to you in a week. ;)

Why are you going to Israel?

hehe 10x alot guys,
ill also create a topic that'll show my 3dmark scores with the 5200 and 5900xt.
also, hope the comp will be fine.
im going to israel because that is where my family is (except my brother, sister and parents, still have 1 sister in israel, and the rest of the relatives). and i mean, its our country, we just cant desert it, also, i came to america for a year and 2 months or so, dad had a sabbatical from work (as a tax and law professor in the university of haifa, israel) for about 2 years off, 1 year he spent, half of it in san diego and half of it in the netherlands. and then the other year, 10 months or so in ann arbor (where i went to school for that time period) and 2 months, 1 in washington d.c. and 1 in new york.
there has been some flight problems with KLM (dutch airline company) that wont accept flying a dog (took a dog with me from israel) so we might delay it a few days or im really not sure whats gonna happen, but its gonna cost us some money :-P err what can ya do :-P
anyways, ill cya guys! hope all will be well, and 10x for your support ;-)

ok guys! im back :-P
using my brothers computer, this connection is horrible, 939 kbps last time i checked thru an israeli isp site... and it says it can go 1.5mbit, max download is like 120k/s prolly, and upload i can reach 13k/s... this total computer is really bad, from what i saw, none of the parts i carried with me were damaged, and i dont think they got damaged from static electricity either. so hopefully, once i get house fixed, and room fixed (bro and sis had many probs when me and my parents were gone, this ALWAYS happens... *sigh* strange.. :-P) so then ill get a good mid-tower case with many fans and a window, etc etc... maybe plug in the Cathode light i got in ann arbor, only have 1 though so its kinda crappy.. also, i have a question... i got the gfx card, its an XFX Geforce FX 5900xt... but i have a problem, i see that theres a black connection on the far right corner (back side) for a molex connector, but i didnt get any molex connector with the gfx card, i also read the manual and had nothing regarding this... do i need to plug one from my psu or how does that work ? can i just plug it to the AGP slot and thats it ? what if ill decide to overclock it to a 5950 ultra (wont do it because it slowly kills the gfx card, but if games will start lagging on me, i might..)
10x alot guys,

KoMoDo

Yeah, just plug in a molex from the PSU. It needs the extra power.

[glc]

Make SURE you switch the PSU over to the correct voltage if Israel doesn't use 110-120 volt AC - if it has no switch, buy a new PSU locally. That's the only thing in an American computer that may not be compatible overseas.

[fsck]

Yeah, be careful of that.

you need the extra power or else the card won't work at 100% when you ask it to

[KoMoDo]

10x alot bros, will do, hope it can reach all the way to the gfx card, i bet it can.. is it ok if the power wires touch the mobo ? since they might.. not sure,
and also, because my case was really heavy and psu was crappy for the new 5900xt (would prolly blow everything up :-P) i decided to take all my parts out, and get a new case with a good psu here in israel, so no worries about the voltages, and i remember to switch, although they would be switched already, with the proper cable.. im so angry that theres those 2 systems, and PAL and NTSC, its frustrating for TV stuff and like computer stuff, i have SO MANY adapters to buy now, since i was in the us for a year.. *sigh* :-P

10x,

KoMoDo
