FASTEST PENTIUM III in the world. You just can't go wrong!
0 of 1 found this helpful Extremely fast, stable and will surprise you in playing 1080p video with a fast AGP card. This CPU can compete with modern systems as it can do youtube and multitask. Video games like Crysis and GTA 4 and 5 are no problem don't expect super high details in those games however.
With a mere 133mhz front side bus, it can keep up with the multi core systems of today's world. Also, if your motherboard supports it (it should if it supports this CPU) you can also get HSRAM, or high speed ram. It's seek time is much faster than standard SDRAM but is still bottlenecked at PC133 speeds. No big deal. Install 1.5gigs of ram and you have a very respectable and quick server or even modern gaming machine.

Fast Card, Good Value, Cheap price!
Ah yes the Radeon HD 4650! This is a premiere Dx10 card. With 1GB of onboard video ram you have to love this thing as it also comes in AGP format as do many other radeon cards before the end of the 4000 series! If you are buildilng an older AGP 8X system I highly recommend this card. I also have an AGP 8x Radeon 3850 which IS MUCH faster but only has 512megs of ram and is super expensive. I recommend this card to anyone who has an old AGP system they want to upgrade. It's rock solid, low wattage for a card this powerful and has plenty of bells and whistles including the ability to play bluray and other 1080p formats such as h.264 mp4.
This is a DX10 so remember it won't play things like Unreal Engine 4 or Crysis 3, or anything that requires DX11. But it does play all DX10 games and with extremely good framerates. I suggest an intel motherboard and chipset, i have been having problems with these super fast radeon AGP cards while using VIA chipset motherboard. If you do use a VIA chipset motherboard be sure to download VIA Hyperion Drivers (if you are using AMD Athlon XP CPU specifically) it will increase stability and performance. Only issue is that in Direct3d games like WoW and Crysis i have to limit the draw distance as it stutters if I don't. But this is not a card issue, this is a VIA chpset issue. It doesn't do that without the VIA chipset drivers. If I don't install the VIA drivers it does nto stutter at all no matter what the draw distance settings are in any game unfortunately for me without the VIA chipset drivers OpenGL doesn't seem to work and the system is crash prone.
I highly recommend this card for anyone desiring a rock solid DX10 card that can play any game from DX10 back to the beginning of time!

science fiction tear jerker, aims to pull heart strings
**SPOILERS**
Quantum Leap may rely on the impossible idea of time travel to make the show work, but that isn't why we all love it.
This is basically the last primetime over the air television show that had the old classic romance and respect for humanity. Most shows today are basically death cults such as breaking bad and sons of anarchy etc. This show holds a special place in my heart, much like that of a lot of the classic movies that were came out around the timeline of a lot of Quantum Leap's "leap years" and of course before it.
The Quantum Leap pilot really captured a lot of americans' imaginations and emotions, was well recieved, and was widely viewed every week. The episode on this VHS is the pilot, so it obviously explains what happens to Dr. Sam Beckett (played by Scott Bakula [star trek]) when his quantum leap scientific experiment goes terribly wrong. He is transported back to 1956, and awakes as a test pilot next to a wife he has never met. He must then try to remember how he got there and how to get back to his own time. We are taken on a journey through sam's false life trapped in the past, as he meets classy and well meaning good ole' gals and pals in 1956, until he meets Al Calivichi (played by Dean Stockwell) who explains to them what he has to do in order to get back to his own life.
This show's film stocks should be archived in some kind of protected underground labyrinth. Shows like this will probably never see the light of day. You should buy this copy and get a few on laserdisc and also the box set on DVD so you can help preserve the memory of this once much-talked-about show. I wish it never went off the air.
