"By the prickling of my thumbs..."

"...something wicked is soon to come!"

I smell 'em!! I swear to the Gods that I woke up this morning and smelled new drivers in the breeze, (Well, and fresh coffee and dog piss too. Can't have a proper morning around Clan Hayho anymore without the fine smell of coffee & dog piss.

), and I saw that bird with the damned golden wings of etheral mist and eyes of twinkling flame again...but I couldn't quite make out what he was singing in joyous tones of rapture!

Normally I take this as a sign of something big coming up soon for my systems...since they're all nVidia now I'm guessing it means the Detonator 5 series is just about ready to be released!

(People, if you can't believe a psychic vision of a strange and mythical bird that happens to like to stop by and talk about drivers once in a while what the heck is there left to believe in anymore?)

i don't know if i should leave this here or put this in the "lsd" forum...

digitalwanderer · Jun 18, 2002, 09:27 PM

I have taken any 'cid since '94 or so, and I don't think I'm flashing back either. (I can usually tell, and it's always fun.

)

well, 2 1/2 hours before nvidia hq closes for the day... let's put your theory to the test

Mark_Fox · Jun 19, 2002, 07:34 PM

I seriously doubt detonator 5 or whatever it will be called will be out soon

Chaos · Jun 22, 2002, 01:42 AM

Mr Fox, I see mention of Detonator 30.20 at The Inquirer, if they infact have these drivers how come you have not dug them up for us ????

digitalwanderer · Jun 22, 2002, 04:46 AM

...but he can't, or won't, or is working on it. Notice how he ain't posted a whole lot lately? Think he might be up to something?

Mark_Fox · Jun 23, 2002, 01:19 AM

hehe...I wish :P - don't worry guys, 30.xx will appear eventually - maybe even on nvidia's site...as nvidia has said, they need to get whql status before nVidia can post them, and at the moment I don't think any 30.xx are whql'ed. However, they are not these detonator 5's that we were expecting. As I already said - next major revision, det 5 or whatever it will be called, is not gonna show up anytime soon I think. But let's hope I'm wrong...

digitalwanderer · Jul 10, 2002, 08:07 AM

Damn it, I can SMELL them again!!! Who the hell here has and is playing with leaked dets that I haven't gotten yet, I KNOW you're out there!

wow, how did I miss this thread ? the initial post itself is ..... ermm.... **tries to find right word***.

im wondering if you are mixing the dog piss up with the coffee digi...... and drinking the wrong one

and is it just me, or are ATI delivering more (and better) drivers than Nvidia lately?

**runs quickly into the safety of the ATI section

Run quickly to the ATI section little man, run QUICKLY!!!

Patience is for people who don't mind waiting!

(Yeah, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me either...then again, neither does "Pagh!", I mean what the hell does that mean anyways?)
