Thanks to all here, my SO now has a nice Athlon 3000+. I've taken the long lived, Dell P2 400 mhz, and, I've kept it around, trying to figure out, what I sort of know already, that the software she is using made her computer so slow, it was no longer useable. I looked at task manager, and...

Hi Just got this add in the mail: "Dear PowerDVD users, CyberLink is excited to offer you an exclusive upgrade offer to receive CyberLink DVD Solution 4 Deluxe, the ultimate DVD burning and creativity suite at a terrific $30 off. CyberLink DVD Solution 4 Deluxe includes 9 applications in...

We went down 12-26-1999, for the Mill new year. We ended us staying until about the 21st of January. The story behind that one IS the most incredible travel story I've EVER been through, and, after surfing 15-25 foot waves on the North Shore of Oahu, and visiting Japan like it was another...

The first problem is the word "S*ny" :excl: :excl: :excl: :excl: :wink: :mrgrn: Seriously, I'm thinking I would have loved to have an SLR, or movie camera today, to take pics of the 15 foot surf. Suggestions? gs

Doug: I want to thank you so much for hosting such a site, and the community for putting up with novices like myself. :mrgrn: Mercutio, thank you for giving us a chance to help. Doug, by the way, I offered a very noisy sparkle 550 Watt power supply, if for some reason, you want the computer...

Hi Make an offer on a PCI Extension box, not used much. http://www.sbs.com/products/356/ Was 700 dollars new. GS

You REALLY ought to look at the Panasonic line of Toughbooks. They are just wonderful, and they don't have the stupid little pencil eraser, like IBM... Plus, Mercutio, they sort of match you designs, and, they do all kinds of things you wouldn't expect. The small one, my CF-37 fits the small...

China from the WWF... :mrgrn:

Isn't that called a "desktop" :?: :mrgrn: gs

In Barbados, we had a LOT of fresh ground lime, ice, and Mount Gay rum. Fantastic!!! However, hangover is the key ingredient with rum.. Wonder how the filtering would work with it...??? gs

JOJO: I guess I'm way behind. I pay 2 bucks, and rent full seasons of a show at our local BlockBuster. Greg

Tea: IBM=Apple=Panasonic pricing... :wink: GS

Simply put, Panasonic rules, and, Toughbooks are the girls... :lol: GS

OK: I'm a Klipsch lover. You need a really good amp, but not a powerful amp, and they simply rock, like nothing else. You could put a set of Klipsch horns in one room, and be able to hear it in all rooms clearly, and down the block. That said, check this link...

HMMM. Weird. Funny, but Weird... gs :wink:

It's certainly true that hard drive progress is moving at a snails pace, compared to other computer parts. It kind of looks like the oil companies, where price fixing has become a way of life. By keeping certain areas to themselves, they keep certain areas artififically high. 7200 rpm laptop...

I guess I'm really behind on this one. WHAT kind of crap? Porn I know, but, what else is out there? GS

For those that like sweet wines, Chateau D'yquem is literally in a class by itself, and, the pricing seems reasonable, considering it's really like making wine out of raisins... GS

Jojo: What exactly is the motivation for buying this thing over a regular DVD player connected to your TV? gs

Cats can be distructive, and some people would get rid of the cat, if it tore up their screen door, and their 3000 dollar couch, or pooped all over the house. Still, if you have cats, they are your responsibility, sort of. Cats, IIRC, are considered property for which distruction does not...

I'm so blessed by our cat, I'd give up my, well, I shouldn't say it,but my cat is more consistent then other parts of the family. It's funny, but my girlfriend isn't home, but, I'm not lonely. Jumpster is sleeping near, waiting for me to go to bed. Would be nice to be in Africa, and have a...

I need a waterproof watch for surfing. Fossil Titanium, for the money, has been good, but, it's about 30 bucks a year for a new battery, professional installation, and new oring. GS

Just wanted to say thanks to Gary again. My eyes feel MUCH MUCH BETTER, using the suggested resolutions, after long sessions. GS :jumpin: :aok: :salut:

Haven't heard from Powerleap... :( GS

Problem with pets is many are inbreed to a point that bad characteristics, that should have been flushed from the gene pool, are reinforced, and can create real problems. Heartattacks, through stress, skitishness, bad temper, etc. are all similar, and should be taken out of the gene pool when...

Mercutio: What was the final result, and how are the machines working for you?> GS

I have a number of CD burners that are Lite-on, and they have been great. gs

Well, the story about Tiger has me crying, and you all know what a drama it was when our cat escaped. I'm so sorry about your loss, CityK. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cursin: :cursin: It's also happening at a time when I'm supposed to take our cat in for a booster shot, which isn't helping...

Looks like they took my machine, and copied it, with slightly newer equipment. :wink: I think they finally got sick of dog slow computers, and figured they can write it off, so get something that actually moves. It certainly is going to be intresting to see if their iPeak thread(if they still...

On the advise of folks around here, I have a number of the nec 3520's, and 3540's. All work great. Had problems with the external drive housings from costco, that use USB two, but, it wasn't the drive that was bad, just the connector, or housing itself. These have been far superior to the...

Gary: Just between you and I, when it comes to Supermicro, you know their stuff, and website WAY better then I do. I am VERY grateful for all the help, as well. Thank you, again. :wink: Give Splash a fish if you seem him. :mrgrn: GS

IN that case, those are REALLY good numbers. My Adaptec 2010S, card designed to raid 0 the two 320 channels on my supermicro only goes 45-80 on bursts. The 320-1 Megaraid is about the same your doing, 100-120 mb/sec, with a dual Cheetah 15.3 36 gig boot drive. Congratulations... GS

Ted Burke and I had a bit of a falling out. He ran the costs of improving his house through the restaurant, and deducted it from the profits. Great for an owner making a ton of money in the summertime, and, who said his favorite fiction work was his tax return (Ted's dad is a judge in Santa...

Well, found an excellent solution for this mess. I got rid of the virus software, Mcafee, or rather, turned it off, unless I turn it on, and, I'm running the stock processor. I'm still running the firewall, but do the virus stuff on demand. I've found Penicillin, from Trendmicro, is the best as...

Have you increased the settings on ATTO so that the program isn't reading drive cache, etc.? GS

Supermicro could improve their search features. I've found it's easier to ask Gary for locations of stuff, like Gem 318 drivers, then trying finding them on the Supermicro website.... I've spent HOURS looking for stuff on that site, like Gem 318 drivers, and never found them... GS

Printer software has a setting for printing on one side, or duplexing. Up to you. gs

I LOVE that place. Even sitting outside, with the heaters, if they still have them, I really enjoyed that place, and have eaten there many times, but, it was in the early 80's, when the food wasn't 200 dollars. I managed the Shadowbrook in Capitola for Ted Burke for 5 years, and I would take...

Samsungs 550 does that. It spits the paper out, retracts it, and prints on the otherside. FANTASTIC VALUE... SO FAR, FLAWLESS... gs

I can't help but think there are a few million patents bought up by oil and car companies that could give us many more options then the ones discussed here. GS

Had this discussion tonight: Oil heads are simple, idiots, that allowed Tar on the beach, at Manhatten Beach, from 1956 to 1965, because they made billions, and didn't want to minimize profits. Typical quarter to quarter, US business practices, ending in Standard Oil not being able to drill...

My motto: When in doubt, Promiseless controllers are best used as targets for at least 375 H&H. :evil: GS

Pradeep: For us non IT guys, what exactly happened to still give you 10 mb a sec, with a Cat 5 cable not connected :?: :?: :wink: gs

I'm too close to silicon valley, and I've picked up perfect sony and Dell monitors, 19", for between, 59 and 85 dollars, from my local Paramount Technology. I watch the LCD prices, and, one day, I'm there. Splash's advice has made my eyes MUCH more relaxed., and for that I am thankful... g

I thought of that. If the power supply is too small, why does the P2, which I think, draws more juice then the tualitin, plus fan, run perfectly? Powerleap is going to test the cpu, and let me know if that's what the problem is. If it isn't the cpu, it's likely you are correct. I could pull...
