IIRC: that'w whats in the other room, with a 3000, and two gigs of ram, and, an Antec 180 that girlfriend thinks is really cool, since the blue lights tell her it's on. For me, it does some functions, scanning in particular, half as fast as Dual xeon 2.8, with 2 gigs of ram, and scsi dual...

Hi guys, here we go again. Existing components are Seasonic 500 watt power supply, with 20 pin connector, not 24, Matrox P650, two sony 19's, Adaptec 29160N scsi card, connected to a variety of 15.3 or 4, Cheetahs, from 18 to 36 gig. All this is connected to a dying Asus A7M266, with 1.4 ghz...

DD No, it's not. Motherboard connections to monitors are a major physical problem, and, when the connection goes south, end motherboard, and major expense. Motherboard plus video card is a better solution... GS

I bought a Tripplite at Costco, and, I'm kicking myself for not picking up an extra APC 1050 when they had them. Still, I should have another one on the other No capacitators fried that I can see. Curses... gs

I've already googled it, and gone over it. Looks like an intresting setup. I kind of wonder about getting nailed for copyright violations, however, and, what really worries me, is, since this is interstate, it would be in FEDERAL court. GS

Mercutio I'm in a weird spot. Cable here is about twice what it is 20 miles away, and, as far as I'm concerned, forget it. The reason is, We can't get any stations around here. It would be wonderful to be able to get TV over the net. Bitteroot? GS

http://www.inklineglobal.com/adsales/edvertising/tvo_tvo_email.html?AFFID=CD367 Anyone know anything about this? gs

And how would I do that, and, are they replaceable? I've checked the ram, and, the machine fails to boot, or boots, and shuts down, with either module, when turned up to 1.4 ghz. Looks like I have a 1 ghz computer. I'm hoping for a little love, so I can build a new, cheap box, for school, and...

Went with Alcohol 120, but, so far, no success. Only played with it a little. gs

It sort of reminds me of when I tried overclocking, and, the machines been moved around a bit. Never know. Still, if it runs well at 1 ghz, it does seem unlikely. It does have a swiftech heatsink, and, they are heavy. The board is mounted sideways... gs

Also, the Seasonic had a blue wire, with connector, that plugged into the motherboard power out put, for a fan. Anyone know what it's for? Thanks GS

No. Examples? gs

Great. I'll give them a try tomorrow... Wonder if the heatsink coming loose could cause this? GS

Love polar bears. Amazing animals. The concept of being able to swim 40-50 miles, at 4 miles an hour, in 30 degree, or lower water, to get out and enjoy a tropical 50 below wind storm, and, have cubs that can handle it...Well, as a wannabe norcal surfer, I'd love to be that immune to the cold...

I guess I can pull each of the ram sticks, and test them, one at a time. Woe is me... :cry: GS

Hi I had the power go out about 6 times at work, and, finally my power supply gave up the ghost. I replaced it with a Seasonic, and now the computer works fine if I boot it at 100 mhz=1ghz, but, 133 mhz/= 1.4 ghz. Machine blue screens, and gives me something about NTkernal problems. What...

How can you tell if it has Starforce protection? Thanks GS

Anyone figured out how to copy the play disks, so you don't have to use the original? Both Kong and Tiger Woods require it, and, I would much rather be playing from my hard drive, or doing something else with the DVD player at the time... gs

OK: Found out the job I took puts me on the hot seat. The group that is causing us to be 'examined' is due to mexican students failing to maintain english and math goals, and, the group I teach are responsible. So, I came home, after refing a VARSITY basketball game, girls, and, I'm sitting...

That brings back memories... When I first moved back over here from Hawaii, in 1994-5, my mother had a 10 bedroom house in the Kensington area, Berkeley hills. Fantastic, huge yard. A stream ran out of the hills two properties over, and, we had a 8 foot high chain link fence, on both sides of...

Hi B WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU AROUND. :excl: :mrgrn: :wink: Feel free to message me... or email.. Greg

Well, Santa had a good year, since he got double paid this year, in December. So far, the good: Combo SATA/firewire/usb 2 card is working well. 7 Port USB with flashing lights is fun, too. Maxtor backup usb2 250 gig, while only 13 mb/sec, still is enough to backup, and play video. Memory...

Thanks My favorite game, and the only one I really played for any length of time, other then The Tex Murphy series, was Quake2, and mainly, Quake 3. I'll pick up Quake 4. Anyone played Peter Jacksons King Kong, 007 Nightfire, Tiger woods 2004, or MSFT Combat flight Simulater3, Battle for...

Well, between Novell, and the anti-virus stuff on my box at work, my 1.4 ghz athlon is running a bit long in the tooth. The saving grace has been the 36 gig 15.3 I boot off, but, I just don't have enough ram, 512 MB, for many of the tasks I ask it to do. This thread got me wondering if Tyan...

How is FEAR? Quake 4?

USB is by far the most common interface, so, the choice is kind of cool. Looks like these guys are targeting the mac market, by their "cool" prices. I've looked long and hard at swapable interfaces beside scsi, and the SATA Hot swap box from Granite Digital looks great, for pros. It's 59...

My cat just did a poop so smelly she not only covered it with litter, but PICKED UP ONE OF MY TOWELS, AND COVERED THE POOP WITH THE TOWEL :excl: :excl: :wink: She's never done that before, but it was REALLY smelly. GS

SATA seems to be by far the most reasonable price, for a removeable drive, hotswap setup. While SCSI isn't as bad as it used to be, actually, about 50% cheaper if you shop, SATA size for dollar is hard to beat. The 250 gig maxtor external USB 2 just arrived, so, it will be pressed into back...

http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16815158019 If you search, you can find the same exact card in the 40 dollar range, but, every place that has it cheap, was out of stock. GS

I finally bought it. I figured even with the rebates, I was still getting a telephoto lense for about 200-300, and, another lense as well, down to 18mm, so I get the macro end covered, as well. Plus, I've always had Nikons, until buying a Rebel Eos Film, and I LIKE Nikon optics. Never...

The combo card went off with no problems at all. 40-70 dollars, for SATA, USB 2, and firewire 1. the 5 port USB 2 card is going to work, and going in in the morning. The first card works fine, and, FINALLY, I have USB 2. Drive wasn't shipped yet. Thanks I'll check up on it. GS

WOW :excl: :bigeek: :owneddnce: SERIOUS DIFFERENCE IN PLAYBACK QUALITY. 1028 is just velvet smooth, nothing dropped, incredible visual quality. Fantastic :excl: Thanks Greg PS I'll post some 3000 x 2000 screen shots for you CT :wink:

I'll size to 800 X 600 from here out, considering how the above post. gs

The above post refers to the NASA pictures, in the thread "Something Random" gs

I'd like to try 1024, but, it maybe too big. CougT: feel free to delete the pictures from my post, or, if you've got time, you can simply change "large" to "Small" in my picture links, and, that should give you 800X600 pics. sorry for posting the big ones... g s

Sorry guys. Please correct my links, in order, on the "Something Random Thread in the following order: Image http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/Gallery/Photo/SR-71/Small/EC94-42883-4.jpg Image http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/Gallery/Photo/SR-71/Small/EC95-43203-1.jpg Image...

Mercutio Any chance you can past in the links for the smaller pictures, for the nasa stuff? I have them posted in the moderators forum. Thanks Greg

WOW!! :eekers: THAT WAS REALLY FAST :excl: GS

If this plane can do sustained mach 3.2, for an hour, or more, wonder how fast it can go on a bump, to say, 110,000 feet? The really amazing part of the fuel it uses is the fuel is stable, even with cigars and lit matches, against lighting, but, it carries nearly it's own oxygen source, with...

CT I just posted changes to the links that will solve the bandwidth problem, in the mods forum. I'd edit them myself, if I could. GS

Funny, M, I just sent you resized pictures.... gs

Your welcome, M. I like this pick as well. http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/Gallery/Photo/Fleet/Large/EC97-44165-149.jpg Gives you a perspective on the plane against other planes, and, the 4 wheel vehicle they use to move planes around... BIG G

This time of year, my computers are nice room heaters, so I can rationalize the electricity, and that I might help save myself from cancer, since my mother had a brain tumor, dad died of cancer, as did my favorite aunt, and uncle. s

By the way, this link http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/Gallery/Movie/SR-71/HTML/EM-0025-05.html is a movie of the plane fueling. I can't get over the size of the engines on the SR-71, dwarfing the engines on the fueling plane, and, the size of the SR-71. The takeoff sequence really gives you an...

Yes, you really get the feeling of how big they are when you compare the BB and the refueling tanker. http://www.nasm.si.edu/research/aero/aircraft/lockheed_sr71.htm Skunkworks is a fantastic book http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0316743003/ref=pd_sxp_elt_l1/002-6277222-5496028?n=283155...

Funny how different things happen. We have a ref who is nearly 70, and he had a golden retriever. Everytime I talk about Jumpster, he tells the story of why he's still with us. He had a heart attack, fell, and was trying to reach the phon to dial 911. The dog went over, picked up the phone...
