      That's the old Titan card. But thanks anyway. It's actually the enclosure I'm looking for at the moment. BizonBox2 has one but its so short they have to open up one side for it to fit a Titan card. Doesn't look like a stable solution to take with you...

      I've always drawn to the correct scale, and for any complex operations such as intersecting curved shapes (which always seems to confuse SU at small scale) I just make a duplicate component and scale it up by 100 times, before editing the larger component. All the changes are correctly duplicated in the correct scale model. The oversized model can then be deleted. Just saves having to scale back down again which I find is not always 100% accurate, dimension-wise.

      @unknownuser said: And also, I recall reading some time ago that "todays" cpu clock speed is in no way the same as the old way of measuring. IOW todays 2.7~3.0ghz is many time(s) faster than single core cpu 2.7~3.0ghz of years ago. (IDK.....is this correct?) Unfortunately my technical knowledge doesn't quite extend to the intricacies of CPU architecture, but the answer is both yes and no. Yes: considering a single core vs single core and clock for clock today's CPU's get more done those of yesteryear, mainly due to optimizations and additional instruction sets. Add to that the effect of multiple cores, and you have your answer quite clear, but some software isn't optimized to utilize multiple cores, they then merely help take care of other things in the background. Setting software and core affinity can help single core applications. No: unless the software can actually benefit from the optimizations and additional instruction sets, you're pretty much in the same spot you were years ago, apart from power efficiency and heat dissipation. Some improvements will be hard to spot in the real world and many of them only really stand out in benchmarks designed to measure these things.

      @driven said: It's in the shop… the driver caused a kernel panic, when I shut down after failing to run it's Uninstaller.app… it may well be the straw that broke the camels back, as opposed to being fully responsible… if they can recover the drive, it should have log info to help work out what happened… otherwise it's some very expensive data recovery attempt… john Hopefully you will be able to get your data back. I am now wondering if I should look around and see if its possible to get a good deal for SketchUcation members when it comes to cloud backup. I was stumped only for the stuff I had in the cloud.
