No. It would degrade the integrity of SF. Bozo :joker:

Uhh, running on 208V doesn't buy you anything. The electric meter is a Watt Meter. W=Amp*Volts. Look at the specs for a power supply. On an Antec box I have here it says 7A at 115V or 3.5A at 230V. If you multiple them out, it's the same wattage. Besides, if your computer needs 100W to run...

Aria case: http://www.gamepc.com/labs/view_content.asp?id=antecaria&page=4 Still trying to picture the hard drives installed. But I think I got it. The article mentions a PCI slot fan. Any help there?? Bozo :joker:

I didn't say what they lied about, but off the top of my balding head.... Teddy Roosevelt lied to the public and congress about our involvement in the coup in Panama. He was secretly financing it so we could build the Panama canel. FDR lied to congress and the public when he said we would not...

You can't be that naive to think he is the only politician to lie. That's the number one prerequisite to become a politician. The all time winners of lieing have to be Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon. Bozo :joker:

I have 15 36GB Raptors installed. Most have been running 24/7 for almost three years. Only had one failure. Actually, I've had more Seagate SCSI drives fail. I have 26 18GB Cheetahs installed and have had 5 failures in 4 years. These also run 24/7. Bozo :joker:

In the case of my post not showing up, it most likely something stupid I did on my end. Bozo :joker:

Going to each network connection (properties) and unchecking the TCP/IP box worked great. Now the host OS is invisable to all our network sniffers but they work fine with the virtual OSs. Thanks DD :cheers: Bozo :joker:

I have over 130 Intel systems running in an industrial setting. Never had a problem with any of them. Most run 24/7 with some being on line for 5 years. They might not have all the bells and whistles, but for reliability and stability you can't beat them. Bozo :joker:

Vista is going to be ME on a different kernal. Search still doesn't work, most times. System recovery is a joke. Networking is an abortion. UAC blows goats Between Hibernate, auto Defrag, System Restore, and Indexing, hard drives will puke in no time. (most of these are next to imposible to...

SP2 for XP 64bit should be out soon. In my testing adding SP2 was like turning on the after-burners. Plenty stable too. But....still a problem with drivers from companies outside of MS. And lack of programs that take advantage of 64bit. Maybe in another 5 years :crap: Bozo :joker:

I would like to set a computer as a host to two virtual operating systems. The host system does not need any network connection for any reason. But, I cannot disable the network cards as that would prevent the virtual systems from using them. The 'real' network cards will be plugged into a...

Some of the newer Intel boards allow some overclocking. It's labeled "Burn In Mode" or something equally silly. I wouldn't give you a wooden nickel for an Asus board. :twistd: Bozo :joker:

64 Bit operating systems are lacking in drivers. XP doesn't have drivers for basic things like NICs. Some of the drivers that are available are quite buggy. There is a service pack in the works for XP 64Bit that makes a huge improvement in the operating system, but drivers are still an issue...

Neither are necessary for the PLC boxes. After the XP install, I run the CD that came with the motherboard. It adds the chipset inf files, video and NIC drivers. Then I'm done. The technician connects it to the PLC and installs the interface software. All the installs are legit. We have a volume...

The computer is being installed to monitor/administer a PLC. It is not on the internet. It is not on a network. It just needs a basic XP install to run the PLC interface software. Guess I'm going to have to start using a slipped stream XP install though. Bozo :joker:

A long shot would be to Google your motherboard/pc and see if you can find a diagram or instructions. Bozo :joker:

When you defrag a Host system, does it defrag the 'Virtual' hard drive too? After all, it is just a file on the real hard drive. On the flip side, is there any benefit to installing and running a defrag program on the virtual 'hard drive'? I'm running Virtual PC 2007 and O&O Defrag. Bozo...

Quadfather = Server motherboard. Zow-Wee :-D :cheers: Bozo :joker:

I was setting up a new box using an Intel D945xxx motherboard. Right after the file copy the install says "Starting Windows". This is where I got the BSOD. Multiple restarts and trying different CDs resulted in the same BSOD. Turns out that I needed to slipstream SP2 into XP and then the install...

That's not true. 30 years ago when I worked construction--long before Home Depot--Ridgid was the defacto tool used. No self respecting contractor would show up on a construction site with anything else. You could only buy Ridgid at wholesale houses. Home Depot is just an exclusive distribitor...

"Milwaukee has been mentioned to me as well as a respected brand." Agreed. Mine is a few years old and still running fine. It was a little pricey but worth the extra cost. Built two houses with it, and used it to hang drywall. 100s of screws!! I believe Milwaukee still uses metal for their...

Would flashing the cards BIOS help?? Bozo :joker:

Everthing that I have changed the battery in lately has used the CR2032 number. That would include Intel, Supermicro, Asus, IBM, and Gateway motherboards. Buy one of each and return the one you don't use. :-D Bozo :joker:

A quote from an IT professional after her first exposure to Vista. "this isn't going to be as easy to hand out to users like it was when going from 2000 to XP. This is going to require a lot of dummies to relearn stuff--and they will all be calling me! I'm hoping the sun explodes before this...

Today I received a notice from Zipzoomfly that I had bought a Sony VAIO which I do not buy. There is a Order Summary attached to the e-mail that contains a virus. AVG flagged it. This looks like a Friday the 13 virus spoof. Pass it on Bozo :joker:

I installed and have been running the host file Merc linked to. One of the things I noticed right away was some adds missing from web pages. Cool!! :-D The host file seems to work with Vista also, as does Firefox 2.0. AdAware only found 3 'objects' to remove on the first scan since the host...
