I was worried about that myself, but what wasn’t so obvious is that it also 
lifted the back of the van, so it dragged things along the pavement a lot less 
than pulling it straight forward would have.

OT: PC Video Cards

2014-03-01 Thread Mark C
This morning my PC greeted me with a few simple beeps - one long and 
three short. It then booted but the screen was blank. I reseated the 
video card and nothing changed. I then pulled some of the RAM and it 
booted without a probelm. Put hte ram back in and it seems to be working 
fine. I have double checked the manual and  the beeps mean video card 
failure.


Been a few years since I bought any PC gear. What are the current 
standards in video cards? Assuming that I need to get one, I would like 
to get something intending primarily to use it with Photoshop. I am 
currently using an NVidia GTS 250 with 1 gig of RAM - probably pretty 
rudimentary by current standards. But, of course, I don't want to shell 
out an arm and a leg...

I don't keep up with the AMD/ATI side of the business, but on the nVidia 
side,  if you're only doing Photoshop and not stuff like games or 
rendering or hash mining, fifty bucks ought to do just fine.  Something 
like a GT520 or GT610.  From there, you can go up to the best part of a 
grand if you're nuts. :)

Re: OT: PC Video Cards

2014-03-01 Thread John

What kind of connector does your video card have? More precisely, what
kind of slot does your PC have for a video card? That makes a big
difference in what's available.

This computer, the one I use for general internet, is old enough it has
an AGP slot. When I had to replace the video card a couple of years back
I had a hard time finding any AGP Video cards.

Everything is now PCI-Express, although there are still some plain
vanilla PCI cards around. And a quick look just now, it appears that
PCI-Express is now 2.0, 2.1 or 3.0 in addition to the original PCI
Express.

Also comes in regular or x16 flavors.

NVidia GTS 250 is apparently the chip set various manufacturers can use.

Re: OT: PC Video Cards

2014-03-01 Thread Mark Roberts
As John mentioned, you need to verify which type card you have. It's
probably PCI-E unless your computer is very old, but check to be sure.

You don't need all the memory and high end stuff for Photoshop so a
1-gig card is plenty. I recommend going for a fanless card, myself. My
computer is much quieter now :)

On the other hand, if you don't mind a noisy fan, I can send you my
old PCI-E card for free! Just give me your address again.

 5 photos, which are pretty much all near-misses.  It's hard enough
 tracking them at 400mm but the AF isn't helping.  I'll try again
some
 other time.
 
 These little birds are quite pleasant to watch as they skim along
just
 above the grass eating insects on the wing.  But they change
direction
 suddenly and often.

 (Before you start thinking I got anywhere near close to them,
they're
 all cropped.)

 This is my buddy Nick. He filmed the ice races last week with an old Boloflex

 later. Here he is, raring to go:

Semi-OT: Strange Photoshop behavior

2014-03-01 Thread John

Well, actually Bridge ...

I just noticed it makes strange little noises. When it's making 
thumbnails there's a little squeak sound. When it's writing metadata 
(batch processing to append copyright) it makes little pseudo-harddrive 
seek noises; pseudo because they're coming from the computer speaker  
not from the harddrive.


It's not a problem, but it *is* kind of strange.

That is a quite varied and very interesting gallery, composed of fine
images.  My favorites are the night street scene and the propellers.
