Concord, CA.

Bought one. Excellent router. Running both the server and the Beast off it, wired, CAT 6. Consistent 70Mbps down, 4-8Mbps up. 120 Mbps top bursts. The laptop with the N adapter just ran 52 mbps, and 8mbps upload, sitting on top of the other computer, in the living room. So, a better adapter for...

Funny, but I had the same thought. I was sitting here wondering why and what Bill Gates is going to do with 56 BILLION dollars. I was also thinking about the incredible amount of money we have funneled into the middle east for oil, where it is kept in the hands of a few ultra-rich people. Those...

It's actually kind of funny. If you look back in history of the US taxes, there have been times when the tax rate for a married couple was 90%. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_tax_in_the_United_States Some of the 50's tax rates: 92%??? for 250k married. Anyway, the government can revert to...

An N adapter in a very old Panasonic laptop gave me 80 mbps, at close range. I'm going to try a long USB 2 cable, and a N adapter first. They are cheap. The card in the other room is G only. It doesn't appear to be a very good card, either. Ethernet cable would require a hole in the wall then...

Today the new JetDirect 615N came in. It's identical to the 600 and 610, but has more memory on the card, according to the HP website. It installed, said it was ready, but, I couldn't get it to hold an IP address consistently. At first I thought the Modem might be set to limit connected...

Here is a slightly different take on todays' events: "From: Reince Priebus, RNC Chairman To: S......... Subject: YOU Stopped the Obama Tax & Borrow Bailout Dear Gregory, Do you remember where America was just one year ago? The Pelosi-Reid-Obama agenda was doing a daily dose of damage to our...

My uncle was the head of Caltrans for years before he died. After he retired, he was hired back as a consultant at twice his rate of pay by his buddies. Was he good? Yes, he had a photographic memory and graduated from Stanford, an engineer. He would work up until he hit about 76K between...

Nod32. I think DD uses it as well.

That should be one of the functions of government: To make sure that there are choices, not monopolies.

Our governments' basic purpose was to provide a skeleton regulation system, to allow free enterprise. The concepts of a limited central government, with states rights has been run over by various political issues that allowed the Federal government to have powers to which they are not entitled...

This is at the core of it: "A second important step would be to prohibit any new regulations, and to get rid of as many useless or counterproductive government mandates as possible. Regulations prevent economic activity that otherwise would take place. And although many are aimed at helping the...

Bernard Madoff has been the financial consultant for Congress for the last 50 years. They make him look like a nickel and dime store thief.

"I haven't look at your government's budget either, but I'm pretty sure the budget allowance to occupy/invade other countries is a lot higher than the enveloppe for humanitary help. I would be very surprised if the war in Irak didn't cost more money than the food and reconstruction help sent by...

I should know better, but here goes. First off: Having been in public schools for 10 years, I can from my experience, tell you it's a system that mirrors our government. One quick example: The miserable excuse for a Superintendent employed a media person to represent her, using the school...

I guess you miss the importance of some of this vintage crap;-) I have two perfectly good laser printers that currently only connect by the old type cables. I'm sorry, but I don't throw away working Laser printers with good cartridges. The 4000N is currently connected to the server, since it's...

To be more percise: Newegg wants 5 bucks to restock the ram, even though it cost 32.00. Plus shipping, probably better to ebay it. And I am the proud owner of 4 gigs of Corsair and Patriot ram, lifetime warranty, same timing, that I can only use one gig at a time, in addition to this 2 gig...

Chewy said: "PS. I don't know how Corsair do they RAM model numbering, but with Kingston Sitcks, in the code there will be S, D or Q in the model after the speed, and this denotes Single Rank, Dual Rank or Quad Rank. for example in my old Opteron box, I had: KVR333S4R3A/512M. The S after the...

Anyone care to explain why the Kingston ram has the slot cut in a different point? It won't even go into the motherboard.

I wish;-(

http://www.billabongpro.com/jbay11/live-gb/ going on now...Jbay.

From your post, it's the only ram that would give 2 gigs, and, fit your posts notations. Thanks for the link, but, if this doesn't work, I'm living with 1 gig of ram in this HTPC. It seems enough for what I'm trying to do with it.

per Chewy's writing, ordered this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134181

1 and 3 work with single stick. No dual combinations work, with the Corsair ram. I bought two used cpu's, for cheap. Both work. They are the 3200+ David currently had in the Asus motherboard, and, the 3800+ that is running fine on the GA K8N Pro Sli, in the other room. David has the Asus...

It plays Quake 4 with a gig of ram fine, at Ultra High settings. Suspect the 2 gigs of vram help with that. Doesn't seem to max out the cpu, much, either.

Rude, but thank you. That explains a bit. Odd that's it's not my confusion, since Kingston lists the 2.6v for a dual channel kit, intended for the GA K8N Pro. I guess they know it's not going to work as dual channel?

It gets better. When I use the Kingston wizard, it recommends ram that runs at 2.6v??!! So, Chewy's reference goes to ram that runs at 1.8V, using his numbering sequence, and, is available for 33.00 for 2 gigs. The Kingston Wizard recommends memory running at 2.6v, and costs 105.00.

The recommended Kingston memory is running at 1.8v. The Ram I've been using for 6 years, and, the Corsair is at 2.5 v. The bios only allows a .01 and .02 increase in voltage. The manual, etc. list "Normal" as the stock voltage but, don't tell you what "Normal" is. Neither does the manual.

GA K8N Pro Sli F7. If Chewy is right, and I have little doubt that he is, this becomes a bit more complicated then just matching the ram package that ran fine in the machine for nearly 6 years.

DELIGHTED TO SEE GARY IS BACK AND POSTING. That's the best present ever. Splash forever:-)

Try their 'list' and see what you come up with...

The timing on the new ram is the same as the old, hoping to go for 4 gigs of ram, after the RMA from Patriot.

Yes, no joy. It might be it's better with slower ram. Don't know...

The plot thickens. The corsair ram came in today. Just got done testing it. It works, but, the motherboard will not support DDR ram. In short, it will take one stick of ram, pretty much in any slot, but, will not work with two sticks of ram. I tested all three ram sticks in slot one, and...

I've thought about that. The HTPC plays bluray stuff, plays sound very well, and, plays old games that my newer systems don't seem to like. If I decided to build a new system, I'd like something MUCH faster, that would then likely require a new OS. I'd loose my old game play stuff. I'd also...

"Sure, just use HDDScan, SpeedFan or any other tool that can issue SMART self-test commands. " Any of the above give drive temps?

Time said: "Sure, just use HDDScan, SpeedFan or any other tool that can issue SMART self-test commands. " Which gives drive temperatures, with the least foot print?

Is there a utility like Acronis Drive Monitor that is smaller and cleaner? I'm finding it's useful in this weather to know that my actively cooled drives are actually too hot in my server. 120 vs 107 max.

Hi I recently was given a copy ATIH, and, installed it on two machines, the Beast, 64 bit, and my server, 32 bit. I started having random freezes with the Beast, something I've never had before. I decided it was likely the Acronis backup running, that updates in real time your system to...

The 3800 does go to 100% CPU usage a bit more then I would like. I'm still waiting for the additional ram to come in.

I am wondering if it's worth going to the X2 processors. They are around for 50-75 dollars, and, would double the speed of the HTPC.

Hi David Had a chance to look at my stuff yet?

I decided to check the settings in the wireless router. I changed to channel 1, to avoid possible interference, and took the default setting to 54 mbps for wireless broadcasting. That has increased download speed to 22-24 mbps, a considerable increase. So far so good.

Time: I just tried the laptop right next to the wall. Speed is about fourteen mbps. When I go all the way to the other side of the room, and use the desktop HTPC the speed is between twelve and fourteen mbps. Right next to the WRT54 it's sixteen mbps. Uploads are five to six mbps.

Hmmm. Odd, but I thought we had different standards for writing here, vs., oh, say editing an article for law review.:rolleyes: Oh, I did that?

Time: The wall is pretty much at right angles to the signal. There is a huge mirror on that wall, directly in the way of the signal. That I can move, and try again. I was also thinking about getting a N card with an antenna that you can move around.
