I’m afraid that my video card is going to join your old motherboard soon.
I have been noticing little wiggly lines showing up once in awhile for the last week or so.
This morning I got a BSOD “STOP: 0x100000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER_M”
I looked it up at Microsoft and yes it’s the video card :(
It’s an ATI All-in-Wonder Pro Rage 64 and it has served me will these past four plus years.

I’m thinking of going with ATI's trade-up program they will give me $50.00 credit for my old card.
I’m looking at the All-in-Wonder 9600XT 128, with my trade in it would be $199.00.
That’s about half of what I paid for my old one.

We play whenever we can peahead but its local. Usually everyone piles up at my house, we cook, eat and game all night. Its a grest way to spend a weekend. I dont have the internet bandwidth to push 7-8 pc's online. I wish i did but living in the country has its downsides.

Here is the link to the ATI trade-up offer.

The 3d bike is about as finished as I will make it.

The real bike's frame is back from powder coat and it looks great, it looks like it’s still wet.
I am currently putting new pistons, cam and carbs in the motor, I already ported the heads.
When it’s done it will be a 100 cubic inch shovelhead putting out about 100 horsepower.
