It wasn't an X2 4200+, it was a single core Athlon 64 3200+. Right after the start, only ~40 process are launched and there's almost 100MB of unused RAM. It is surprisingly usable. Not much remaining ressources, but as long as you don't do many things at once, it remains responsive.

You certainly don't need an i7-3930K simply for a HTPC combined with an office machine. Unless you want to plug 6 monitors/TVs to the computer and play 6 different 1080p movies from 6 different VMs from it. If that's not your plan, please reconsider your options here. An i7-3930K is a bad...

There was a lot of hype about Kepler's much improved CUDA performances. I'd like a lot to see how it fares at FAH.

Installing Windows 7 64-bit on an Athlon 64 X2 4200+ with 896MB of RAM is possible, but painfully slow. I'm surprised the installer let me do it.

Thanks.

The video is all black right now. Is it because it's almost midnight in Australia?

It'll all ok if you've decided to snob commas, but periods have done nothing to deserve your avoidance.

I would have made it so much better by writing : "Tell her the pictures are for someone else and I know two things she won't swallow this evening ; the first one being your explanation".

I'm half-dead from sleep deprivation and while waiting for a virus scan to finish on a computer I must deliver tomorrow to a customer, I've scored 1239 points at Mahjongg titans (the one that comes with Windows 7). I didn't know that it was possible to reach that score in that game. I feel...

Yeah, I'm sure your wife will be happy if she finds picture of skantily clothed women on your phone. Try to provide an explanation she'll swallow. :thumbright:

Be sure that in your case, "um" was my first thought.

What have I done again? You never read my sig?

If you don't like having an office with a window, just nail a plywood sheet on it. Plus, your office will look "full ghetto". Your students will think you're cool.

:-?:scratch::dunno: You might as well have written that in Chinese and I wouldn't have understood less. I reinstalled and that was the end of it. Next time it happens (and it will ; I always forget my username/password on my Linux boxes), I'll try Googling whatever you wrote there and see if...

Fantastique pour après le surf. If you want to speak like Molière, try to do it as skillfully as I speak like Shakespeare. ;-)

I don't know how Buck and SDBardwick feel about their impending nationality change...

I've tried a few other office software and so far nothing close to LibreOffice in term of functionality. So fixing the AV is what I'll do. Tomorrow.

Ok, there will be a slight delay before we can try anything. Back when I first installed my Linux shoebox, I had another monitor with a different resolution, so when I plug the new one, I don't get any picture. I forced a reset and now at the logon screen, I don't remember the...

If VNC for Linux is like VNC for Windows, it'll lag like Hell. I've found this. I hope we'll be able to do something productive with it.

Always glad to entertain the crowds.

I have to help a damsel in distress on a Linux box. Problem is, the said person, currently drawning in his own misery, is on the other side of the continent. How can I do something like RDP on his Ubuntu 11.10 box? I also have a Ubuntu 11.10 installation here.

Nope. I'd like a solution where I don't have to modify the AV. I shouldn't have to anyway, if the guys at G-Data had done their job properly. I mean, LibreOffice, probably the second biggest office suites in the World, being flagged as a virux. Kudos, great work champions.

Maybe the CPU heatsink is dirty or the thermal pad or thermal paste is dry or incorrectly applied and it causes the CPU to overheat. There's usually a setting for it in the BIOS, where you can set the temperature at which the fan will spin at full speed. It depends a lot on the motherboard you...

Since it's the best performing antivirus I've seen in the few AV testing web sites I've visited, I told one of my customers to buy G-Data for his five computers. But, as good as it is, G-Data has a major issue I wasn't aware of : it flags and automatically clean/quarantine/destroy a critical...

I don't know about their backup software, but their partition tool will allow me to sleep tonight. I did not let enough space for my restore partition on two new computers I built today and neither Acronis (by a lot) nor Macrium Reflect (by not much) were able to squeeze a restore image of the...

Might have found a solution. Delete the WU and try another one.

Caught a cold?

Don't expect a reply this evening or tonight, I don't think uncle Greg is at home. I believe he's on Dave's couch, yelling after his wife because she didn't serve his beer cold enough ;-) "Milwaukee's Best??? I wouldn't want to taste their worst! You couldn't buy me something better? Or at...

Without specifically knowing, I've always pronounced it correctly. Now don't start me on Asses, err...Asus.

Nope. No cold, no snow, no Coug.

Stanford's forum thread about the latest beta release.

I think I share Dave's philosophy regarding driving speed. Statistics tell us that the more time you spend on the road, the more likely you are to be killed in an accident. So I drive the fastest that I can to spend the least time possible driving. When people I pass yell at me, I just answer...

If that's for the Deskstar 5K3000 (0F12460), it seems expensive. One local computer store sells them for ~180$-190$ (had them stock two weeks ago, but none currently) and I can get those even cheaper from my supplier. My supplier has had a hard time getting large Hitachi drives recently...

I think you'd lose less time doing a complete re-install than trying to optimize the factory installation. Just don't install HP Protection tools on the new installation.

San Diego's Wicked Bard is the one who'll be able to help you the most in case of a configuration issue. AFAIK, he's the only one here running the beta client V7 on Linux.

First question : are you absolutely sure that this machine is perfectly stable? Running the FAH client was supposed to be a stability test. Just to be sure, you followed the installation instructions on this page?

Just set the memory timing manually. You know what you bought. The success or failure of the F@H units will tell you if the memory is working properly or not. With the speed of that system, it won't take long to know as it will complete units fairly quickly.

The 3TB Ultrastar family is similar in design to the 3TB Deskstar drives and the folks at BackBlaze servers, who use a lot of large drives for their storage servers, wrote that multi-terabyte Hitachi drives were significantly more reliable than those from Oceanfence.

Thanks to me, you'll know you'll have to bring your own beer when you'll visit him. You have cat toilet paper on your desktop?

What's MFL for? Mystical fairy light?

I forgot to ask, but how's the Asus DP board? Your heatsinks fit on it?

Well, week-end's over and I've not starved. Positive thinking can take you far. I still won't break my computer just for your enjoyment though, although... That's my Linux box. Been like that since I kicked it last Fall. I wrote about it back then. Did not even reboot or stop running the...

Aren't you 6'3" and used to weight ~230lbs? Bigger than you? Who was he, one of the Klistchko brothers? As for my punching power, I know I have some, but I don't know how great it is. What makes me fierce isn't my punching power alone, it's the fact that I don't stop punching even when I'm...

Ok, it was back ordered, but EIO.com, at Torrance in CA, is supposed to be able to ship it in 1-2 days and sells it for 246$. Electronic Inventory Online, Inc. 22412 Normandie Ave. Unit #A Torrance, CA 90502 (USA) Phone : 1 (877) SHOPEIO (746-7346) or local (310) 533-5150

I saw the Hitachi Ultrastar 7K3000 2TB (0F12455) with SATA 6Gbps interface, 2 million hours MTBF rating, 5 years warranty at 221$ plus shipping on a Canayan web site. I'm sure you can find equal or better deal south of the border. I was replying to Santilli.

Hey, me do my best. Me am just foreign alien. Me don't speak english much. Me try hard, very hard.

Just pay a visit to Dave. He said it's warm in his house. I'm sure there's also beer in his fridge and that his couch is comfortable. Bring the cat if you feel it'll be lonely. ;-)

Batman rent his car for the 24-hours race at LeMans this summer : Nisan Deltawing. 1.6L 4-cyl engine delivering 300hp and probably sipping gas compared to the other cars in that race. Makes the new turbo-charged engine in the Cadillac ATS look shy (2L, 270hp IIRC). Interesting concept.

Oh and the PC3 Pro (with the 1.65GHz CPU) with 2GB of RAM, a 250GB HDD with Linux Mint on it and the FACE module cost 530$. Almost as much as a Mac Mini, but with more connectivity options.

Greg, there's something we must tell you : Then : means "at this time", "at the moment" or sometimes "in this case". Than : The way you should write it most of the time. Used to compare two elements. Ex : "The Bugatti Veyron is a faster car than the Toyota Yaris".
