    Honda Ridgeline vs Ford F-150 FX4

    Oh and I don't think I gave my vote yet, so I'll say the honda for the gas mileage. That really trumps a lot of other features.

    Honda Ridgeline vs Ford F-150 FX4

    Reliability of the brand? If I'm correct, the ridgeline is new this year or last year, correct? So no real reliability data on it at this point.

    Yes single AMD X2 3800+ now and when I first started producting again. I had a part-time Pentium M 1.6Ghz for a while in the middle. Since 12/02 I've had mark's flags added to my two F@H instances and they seem to be making a difference, each of the past few days at 600 points or more for the...

    Ghost Boot CD with USB Support?

    no ghost32. I got some help at the radified forums about how to add firewire support. That is what I have the drive hooked up with now. I have yet to test it though, no blank cds. Can I just overwrite the files on the existing boot cd? Or does that screw up the bootable part? I'm most...

    Ghost Boot CD with USB Support?

    Well I upgraded the bios from F4 to F5 and now it says legacy next to the USB keyboard option. So I loaded the defaults and then set everything the way I want. Then I booted with the disk and pushed F8 to do step by step. If I don't load the panasonic usb drivers, the keyboard and mouse work...

    Here is the motherboard manual. I don't see any other option than what has already been set. Unfortunately the PS/2 ports don't work. They work for a bit when the computer boots up but after a while all the lights come on (caps lock etc) and the keyboard doesn't work anymore. I'm not sure what...

    Ghost Boot CD with USB Support?

    There were two entries labeled usb keyboard and usb mouse in the bios (I had checked yesterday). They were both set to enabled. So I don't think it is a bios setting unless there is another one I should look for?
