Acquired a Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600 (256MB DDR), but... when I got it, it was a so called "Lite Retail" package, and no DVI to VGA dongle was included. I had to order it separately at a price of EUR 15. The card itself was EUR 128. I bought this card in the first place, because I could use both of my monitors with only one VGA (using Hydravision). Unfortunately, after installing the VGA PowerDVD didn't work properly. It got choppy when I activated both of my monitors. Later on I found out that PowerDVD 5 supports Hydravision, but my version (3) didn't. by Martin @ 12:10 9 February 2004
Got a NEC ND-1100 DVD+RW burner. And a 80 GB Maxtor DiamondMax. And some silver IDE roundcable by the way, which can't even fit into my devices! Past my old 6 GB IBM harddisk to Fett. by Martin @ 11:09 15 June 2003
I installed a Sweex webcam: See me! by Martin @ 11:59 27 February 2003
I bought a Hercules SmartTV Stereo TV card. My old tv card is no longer supported (VideoHighway Extreme), and stopped working half a year ago. Surprisingly, the software supplied by SmartTV (cyberlink PowerVCR II 3.0) doesn't work. It crashes when the program is started. On any pc I try it. Using VirtualDub I can get images from the tuner, but this is surely not the way to work! by Martin @ 11:58 6 February 2003
