US silver dollar contained .848749 oz in silver when the US had real money. Current silver price is about 11.71oz in current currency value 11.71 * .848749 = $9.93 in current currency value $9.93 will buy 2.929 gallons @ 3.39 gal 3.39 / 9.93 = 0.341 This would make 1 gal of gas cost 0.34 if we had r...

Thanks for all the help. That port number was invaluable. I got it working by: Add this line to /etc/shorewall/rules ACCEPT net:192.xxx.x.x fw udp 2092 The IP address is the other computer that is allowed to connect. Notice the udp not tcp. This is only needed for the computer starting the game (run...

firewall up? Yep, on both. Cuda68 was mentioning this also. The strange thing is I can connect to games on the internet with both machines. Maybe because clients can and servers are blocked?? Does anyone know what port D3 uses for LAN games so I can open it up rather than shutting the whole firewal...

I am able to start a new game OK. However the 2nd computer can't see the game when selecting \"scan for local games\". I tried typing the local IP for the computer running the game (without a port #) but it still doesn't work.

Any idea what I need to do next?

Thanks in advance,

The manual for the motherboard should contain the explanations for the beep series. From the manual: The BIOS also issues a beep code (one long tone followed by two short tones) during POST if the video configuration fails (no card installed or faulty) or if an external ROM module does not properly...

Well the card came today and I tried it. Unfortunately it doesn't work. The computer beeps 3 times and won't boot. One thing I noticed is the card itself says nothing about nVidia. Shouldn't there be something on the card with their name?

I found a web site that goes into all the gory details about AGP capatibility if anyone is interested.

A 400MHz processor? That's horribly limiting. A Geforce 3 would be a waste, IMO. I also believe it's 1.5v, so it won't fit in a 3.3v slot. This is what I was afraid of. Judging by the picture MD-2389 posted, it looks like #1. How can I tell which cards will work? The "tech" specs on Amazo...

Thanks,

That was easy and there is a Linux driver available. I will order the card.

How about this one?

A lot of the \"nVidia\" cards only contain the chip from nVidia and the rest of the card is made by someone else. Is that a problem usually?

Just because at the moment they seem to have better Linux drivers.

I would like a recommendation for an AGP nVidia 3D graphics card to fit an old computer. I would prefer a new card if they can still be purchased. The documentation does not mention what speed the AGP slot is so I assume it is 1x. This computer is running Linux so I will need to check if nVidia has ...
