Ok, looks like Coppermine 1.4 alpha does do all I need. Probably there will be bugz, but whatever, I can fix small stuff and it seems to be working.

Damn. This whole thing is mucho more difficult that I have thought. Too many image gallery packages out there. None of them seem to have what I need, that is all the features in one package. Even if I am willing to pay...

Decided to install serious gallery software on the site. Number of pix approaching 1000 and it'd becoming difficult to manage all that. Besides, I want to put up something with voting support. Interesting what ppl view the most and what they will rank higher. Now all that's left is to choose one, out of few hundred...

After playing Doom 3 for a while I remembered that my video card has VIVO. And I found out TV capturing can be fun :) Besides I can get rid of all the VHS tapes cluttering space. Although capturing made me realize that todays comps are not nearly as powerful as they should be. 2 hours or more to re-encode few gigs of mpg? Come on. And that 200Gb HD you thought was soooo big, it's nothing but a few movies...

3:16am. I've just beaten Doom III on "Veteran" level, and not a single cheat :D. OMG, now what? Anyway, enjoyed the game immensly, although too creepy and dark. Definitely worth buying and playing. Ok, gotta get some sleep. Haven't seen much except demons these days :)

Doom III is here :) And I can't run it on 1600x1200 with AA even on my X800XT. Although even w/o AA graphics are amazing, and sounds are much better done too. Real creeppy game.

Doom III is officially shipping, and mine was shipped too :) Can't buy in local stores anyway, all sold out.

Final pieces arrived. Installed Zalman ZM80D-HP with optional fan, dropped temps by 5-7C on idle and 15-18C under load. Plus 512mb extra ram. Now all I am missing is Doom III.

Finally ordered GPU cooler for X800XT :) Since the new stuff from Artic Cooling is not available for unknown time I went for Zalman ZM80D-HP with optional fan. Should to the trick. For now while playing FarCry temps went to 74 C. Kindda high. I hope this will drop between 40-50C. We'll see.
Getting 512Mb more dual channel ram for my rig. 1.5 should be enough for Dooming :) W/o swapping it's necessary anyways.

Flashed ATI XT BIOS as per friend's advice. Pipelines are enabled anyway. Worked fine. Gained another 10%-15% :) 3dmark 03 score - 12645. After that I have flashed Giga-Byte bios with their tool, then read it back with flashrom.exe. Now I can flash Giga-Byte bios using flashrom.exe. Might become handy some day. Although for now I have it on ATI XT BIOS and @ 520mhz core speed. Once the cooler comes in I'll OC.
