I couldn't do it....
« on: August 11, 2004, 06:15:16 PM »
Well, I always said I wanted a DKB 3128 board...
I bid on the item when it was still $117 and I took it all the way up to $230.
Today was the last day for the bid, and I pushed it up as far as I could, an insane amount. But in the end I was outbid...

Can you believe that?

I feel kinda sorry for the guy that won the bid, because he obviously has no other way to get more RAM. Maybe he has an A4000D with the original 040/25 board on there, and is holding out for a PPC board of some sort (I looked for a PPC/060 combo board and I couldn't find one where I would be able to have more than 128mb on it, which is what I have at the moment.) But I'm not $630 desperate enough to get that DKB. He obviously is.

Well I'll certainly remember that dude, that's for sure.
And he'll remember me 'cos when I got home today he was winning the bid for around $400 and because of me it went to $600.

@ Doctor Evil/ Clarence Boddicker:

People always ask me that, why isn't 146mb enough. Its because of the ray-tracing. My objects in Cinema 4D have a lot of subdivisions. Also, I always had a certain limit on the number of frames I could play in an animation (for recording through a genlock) and that always bothered me.
I still like Vista fly-throughs

@ Clarence again:
You're tempting me, but I don't know what I could get for this A4000T. It has no GFX card and the CS is a MK2.
Also, I would be sad to part with the big old girl...

@ Clarence (I 've got that name stuck in my head because of you, X53)

If I remember correctly, weren't there problems if you didn't have a device on the Fastlane? Also, I'm not wild about 30 pin simms.

@ x56: I'll try to find that reference on the Z3.
This dude says you might need a new rom from Phase 5 if you use it with an 060, but it isn't clearly worded as to whether this affects all versions of the Z3.

Lemmink I hate you :-)

320mb...what the hell you doing with that?
But seriously though, I wanna ask you about that Fastlane...do you have a device connected onto it or are you running it only for memory? And what machine are you running all those cards on?
