These databases make me REALLY want to try a Matrox parahelia... gs

Hi Tannin: Yes, we had that discussion, long ago. Given time, 2000 did prove to be an excellent system. Wonder if you could have repaired your version, rather then reinstalling? I recently lost an install, and I believe it was due to a loose scsi card, and a bad cable, corrupting files...

Splash: Thanks for the info on the memory speed support. Always helps... gs

Cougtech: I understand the advantages, but on the last new release of chips, and mobos, the Tyan Thunder didn't exactly win any reliability contests. I think a bit of patience always saves money, and headaches, with technology. gs

Splash: When do you expect the prices to drop to reasonable for the 246 or 248? Also, I'm kind of reluctant to be on the bleeding edge. How long before they get all the bugs worked out of the new boards, and the new cpu? Thanks gs

WOW!!! :eekers: :bounce: It's amazing how slow the clock speed is, yet how fast the results are with the Opteron. Why? 64 bit? So I buy a mobo and single Opteron, at 1.4 ghz and it's as fast as a 3.0 ghz, Xeon??? gs

"The writing's on the wall: The Opteron rules the workstation performance roost and probably will for a few years (at least)." When did this happen? The prices on the processors you mentioned are WAY up there. I found a couple shops around here that might want to sell older boards for Xeons...

This should be sticked near the top of the board... gs

In the 80's, things were a lot more wild west, and a lot less pc. I'm not sure what we have now is better.... gs

Pradeep: You have the beauty of the Klipsch line. In the old days, when a 35 watt tube amp was a grand, when a grand was a LOTT of money, you could have insane speakers, with a Yamaha regular amp, with 30-35 watts, and still not break the bank. At less then half volume, in my little house in...

A LOT of beautiful courses down there. I used to play Pasatiempo all the time. Snuck on, till I got caught, and since my boss was the president of the club, I decided I should stop it;-( In that area shot a 77 at Boulder Creek, IIRC. Beat a pro at the Olympic Club, and he came back and beat...

Never played there. Is that kind of fancy, set off in the mountains, and new? gs

WHICH LOCAL COUNTRY CLUB? PASATIEMPO?(SP?) ETC. Used to live down there, and played golf, as well. gs

You can't beat this deal with a stick: http://store.klipsch.com/details.asp?prodID=35 gs

Why? Look at Ann Hesh, or whatever her name is. Most lesbians I know are REALLY unattractive. Women go on what they feel, so, your hope might have basis, if you can figure out how to make her FEEL differently about you. gs

Tonight I've been watching JLO videos, on my computer, with crystal clear picture, and, at half volume, the 5 speaker klipsch setup really rocks. I could easily tune the same speakers to do Mozart. gs

You can, and I do, tune my klipsch speakers to play well whatever the music is. Mozart 427 is simply fantastic. However, keep in mind the Yamaha amp has different sound settings that allow you to go from a rock concert, to a concert hall, to a 70mm spectacular, without having to tune much of...

By the way, I agree with the guys that the Klipsch horns are not all that. My pick was the Hereseys over the horns, and, if I had had a LOT bigger house, the La Scalas. NOW THOSE ARE SPEAKERS TO DIE FOR... S

I firmly believe the Kennedy"s, three of em, were killed by the Mafia. They had been business partners with the mob, running alcohol, under Joe K. The mob swung the election for JFK, using the unions, in one of the north eastern states. Kennedy wins, and, his brother turns around and...

I have a set of Klipsch, the first computer speakers they made, and, with a proper sound card, and sound editing, they will pretty much do anything you want. Klipsch still makes the Hereseys, and, along with a 10 inch thumper, and a decent center, plus 300 dollar back speakers, all from...

Do the older slots provide sufficent through put for the newer cards to function properly? 660 vs. 3200 for example? gs

If your reciever is adjustable, for volume on each channel, I've found Klipsch to be the most efficent speaker, requiring the least amps for sound. Their only weakness is they do tend to be rock and roll speakers, requiring fair volume to really get good sound quality. My system resembles all...

If anyone would know, working at a beer factory, it would be Splash. However, it wouldn't be PC if the theory is right, for him to comment. GS

I like this thread. The information really helps, but, it doesn't address one, big issue for me. If you have an AGP slot, what cards will work int it? To use the newer video cards, will they work in the AGP slot on an Asus A7M? Stuff like that. When I see Matrox cards with fill rates nearly...

What does Prescott bring to the table that would make it worth waiting for? Dual cores on the same chip? Do Xeons have the same features? gs

I'm wondering if my hard drive setup is the real culprit. I wonder if one of the cleaning utilities, or a bug, got in, and deleted a few essential files neccessary for 2000 to boot. It was a corrupted .cab file, IIRC. Also, the floppie drive may not be functioning right, or that neccessary...

The other problem is the case I have is full. No more more drive bays. Could go external firewire one of these days, or, I've been looking at removaable drives for backup. Are the DVD RW format a viable solution for large storage? The firewire writer I've been using is really cool, allowing...

Mercutio: It is. The problem is migrating to the new standards, and most of the mobos don't have many pci slots, and, those that do, usually don't have that many 32 bit/33mhz slots. Machine currently has 5 pci 32/33mhz pci slots. Ethernet, and firewire, and scsi, could all be taken care of on...

Tyan vs. Supermicro... Well, the discussion goes on. I've lost my entire data, on array, and I'm not sure why. I'm considering an upgrade, but can't make up my mind. I currently have, in PCI slots, an atto UL3d, Adaptec AIC-7850, Texas insturments Firewire card, Philips PSC 706 audio card...

The company intro sort of says why they designed such monsters. On site video editing, on location. Looks like they might also be using solid state ram disks with the machines. Wonder what they use those for? Storing video you are working on? gs

I have the Canon lense. But, need a decent memory card, reader, etc. Total investment is in the 1300-1500 dollar range, in Kalifornia. Arnold: Get rid of sales tax. gs

Well, that and I did found, and head, our high school photopgraphy club, and, we've always had SLR's in the family since I was in grade school. My mother used to buy Nikon's, and I still like them, though it seems Canon has surpassed them, at this point, valuewise, and performance wise. I've...

HMMMM. MY ARRAY rocks. 4 X15's on dual channels of an atto dual channel card. 110 MB/sec, and, I think that's maybe bus limited. IDE raid?? Well,... Forget about it!!! Firewire raid I'm keeping an open mind. With an X 15 for a boot drive, who cares? It's a raid in a single drive. gs

Delmonicos are great steaks, if you can find em. You guys are making me more hungry then I was before, and that's not good. :mrgrn: Guess I did ref for 7 hours, and only had a can of tuna, and a tamale. gs

I'm used to seeing killers in ties, after being in the DA's office in SF for 6 months. I errored on the side of too many killers... gs :jumpin:

ROFL!! 5 out of ten... gs

I bid on ebay for a sony, but I'm glad I was just outbid. I really like my Canon, and it's lense. Buying a digital body, with high resolution, and being able to use a 1.5 multiplier on the lense, and, being able to do serious, high density, large pictures, sounds like a dream. I think I'll...

You buy tri tips for around 4-5 bucks a pound, at Costco. With Filet going for 15 $ a pound, and New York $10 dollars a pound, it's enough to make one a vegitarian... By the way, the trip tip was about 2 pounds, and I think I went through about 10-12 oz. Fantastic. Marinate in Lea &Perrins...

Well, I couldn't figure out a way to boot from floppies, and fix the existing operating system. It required dual installation of the UL3d drivers, so the os could see the raid array. Once I figured that out, I decided I would reformat in ntfs, and start again. I'm not sure why the cd drives...

I took the settings from the documents provided. Apparently when the device was installed, the rpc wasn't set. I just did that, terminated the drive, changed slots with the card, and restarted. The card shows up, in device manager, the DVD player shows up as 'unknown' but working properly in...

One other quick note. The adaptec card is supposed to be either a 2906 or 2930. Is the Aic-7850 driver right for this device.? gs

I don't think this is a scsi problem, but a mother board problem. I have two open slots, and I've connected both a firewire card, and a scsi Adaptec AIC-7850 card. I've put both in these two slots, and niether one works. Windows 2000 has drivers for the card, and for the drives, both the...

I'm trying to reconfigure my computer, amd 1.4 ghz, Athlon, and add firewire, and change the scsi setups. However, I can't find the jumper settings anywhere for the Pioneer DVD player. I have had problems writing with the Plexwriter 12/10/32s, and Roxio adaptec Easy CD creator 4.0, and, my...

I'm trying to setup a way to move large video files from school to home, to store. I have 3 jazz drives, and one of them works fine with the mac. In fact, all three work fine with the mac. For some reason, they suck eggs on my pc slow card, even when termination is on, and they are on proper...

Sony mvc-fd51? That's what the school has, and it works just fine, printing to a floppy, that both mac and pc can see. Plus, the price is right. I borrow, and take pics of the kids work. Canon later, after Christmas. gs

Canon Eos is a 6mb pixel camera. I know myself. I'd buy one for 500 bucks, be disgusted, and then be out the 500 bucks, and the balance for the new camera. Apparently the Canon eats memory, and it's expensive, high speed memory as well. The guy at the store said Canon is now only making...

Well, I just priced everything, and I'm not jazzed. 900 for the camera, 339 for the memory, 1 gig, add another 100 for the card reader. Only saving grace is my Rebel zoom is multiplied by 1.5, which works for me. That beyond stretches my budget :cry: gs

Canon Digital Eos 300D??? Canon Digital Eos 300D??? I like SLR's. My mother always bought, and I always borrowed, Nikon SLR's. I currently have a regular Canon Eos. What do you all think of the new camera, and are the lenses compatible? What are the hidden costs for a Digital camera...

Hi I'm considering a digital camera for taking pictures of my kids, and their work. My question is, what cameras, and companies, have a good track record for software, and system compatibility? I can't help but think about my 1200 dollar Nikon scanner, that has no updates past windows 98, and...
