are you even able to see the post? can u get into the bios? if so, plug your monitor into the default onboard video port. disable onboard video. plug in your pci video card/monitor and the motherboard will recognize it as a display device.
you have to get counter-strike source. a few of us here play occasionally. youll be able to play with just about any card you buy. shit, my celeron 2.2 ghz laptop with GMA graphics runs it at 30 fps.
alrighty, heres what ive come up with regarding the december 21 and december 24/25 storms.
December 21
I dont think this storm will produce much more over an inch or so. as it comes across the midwest it dies before the low heads out to sea.

December 24/25
This one will be one to watch. Earlier models were giving KCMH (port columbus) like .9 QFP which would equate to 9+ inches at 32*, but the models are slowly trending south, so at this point in time i think a 2-4" event for christmas eve is doable.

if you have business cards id gladly take one to stuff in my wallet. if so can i PM you my address and can you mail me one?
my car sucks and need something lined up incase it decides to take a shit this winter.
^ blizzard conditions are classified as winds 25+ and visibility below a quarter of a mile for a period of at least 3 hours. doesnt take much to make a blizzard really. hell, iowa was issued blizzard warnings with only 4 inches of snow. its the blowing part that makes it a blizzard.
comparing travel during the '78 and '08 blizzards is retarded. thats like comparing email systems during those years. the area where my parents lived and still currently live has grown so much since 78. everything was still rural.
actually, the blizzard of 2008 was officially a blizzard. blizzard warnings were issued for the entire southwestern and central part of the state. blizzards are universal. an ohio blizzard is the same as a new york blizzard.
just sayin.
found these on my hard drive this morning. pretty cool to look back on. enjoy. mt first car btw (red neon)
