It's this kind of agravation and nonsence with AMD motherboards that keeps me from switching to AMD. I wish AMD would produce their own Quality board that you install and it just works. Maybe Supermicro will step up to the plate with a Quality board. Bozo :mrgrn:

Looks like my contributions will be sporatic for a while. :( Bozo :mrgrn:

Thanks for all your hard work Doug!! :D Bozo :mrgrn:

If your laptop 'looks' like a laptop to the bagage gorillas, you may never see it again. Hopefully it was in your suitcase or camo'd to not look like a laptop. Once you get west of Philly (about 80 miles) there is real civilization. Even grass and trees. Delaware is a great state. Wilmington is...

Both AC and DC are equally deadly. With AC you have a chance to break free as the current passes throgh zero twice a second. (60Hz). But this plays hell with the heart. DC is constant. It's hard to break free. While connected to a large DC potential, the current is burning the flesh, usually...

I have a P-3 800MHz with 384Meg RAM running XP + SP2 and it does just fine. It's only used for surfing the net and some office type programs though. Matter of fact, it runs F@H as a service whenever it's turned on. Bozo :mrgrn:

Having the power supply supplied with DC creates it's own problems. To change the voltage from 12V to 5V or 3.3V would require resisters (lots of heat) or an electronic circut. The output from the electronic circut would be choppy at best, or more filters would have to be added. In a normal...

All the power companies power lines are protected by circut breakers. If there is a fault on the line, the breaker opens, or 'tripps'. This is just like your home. In your home you must manually 'close' or reset the breaker to get power back. But the power companies lines are outdoors. During a...

I've used the Dow/Corning cream for over 20 years on heatsink/SCR assemblys. I don't know where we get the stuff though. Bozo :mrgrn:

I use Dow Corning 340 silicone heat sink compound. At work this stuff last for years in our electronic equipment. I'm talking 10-15 years or more on SCR drives that take more abuse and heat than a CPU will ever get. Bozo :mrgrn:

This is being played back on a DVD player for a TV. It looks like DVDShrink is the culprit. It hasn't been updated in a while. DVD Decrypter seems to work. I'm using Nero 6 with all the updates now. The first burn was done with EZ CD and the second with Nero 6 without the updates. The DVD I...

I ripped a movie using Dvdshrink to an ISO file on a Raptor hard drive. I then used Nero to burn the DVD. The DVD is a double layer Memorex so I didn't do any compression when I made the ISO. But, I get dropped frames and sound when I play back the video. I repeated the process only this time I...

Quote: "So about with each at 450 points, I'll probably average 500 or 450 points a day and my graph will look odd with two work units submitted one day and none the next and two the day after that." Are you running two instant's of folding on the same machine? I thought you were only supposed...

You need a UPS. FYI: In case of a fault on the lines, the power companies' circut breakers are set to automatically reset 3 times before they finally open and stay open. This can play hell with any electrical equipment that is running at the time. Bozo :mrgrn:

Symantec f**ks up everything it get it's hands on. Bozo :mrgrn:

I would say the FAT file system is pretty well dead. Bozo :mrgrn:

On XP installs I've found that XP does not install it's own drivers. If you go to 'Properties' in the USB devices (USB Mass Storage Device) and have it upgrade the drivers automatically. I've found that USB deices start to work then. Bozo :mrgrn:

Logitech has posted on their web site that the software that comes with their mice will not work through a KVM switch. I have the same mouse on a KVM switch. Sotfware does not work. What operating system. XP needs SP2 and then you must go into Device Manager and manually add the drivers. Bozo...

The ASUS web site seems to have problems with Firefox. I have to use IE. Bozo :mrgrn:

I agree with Buck. I buy Intel boards for Intel processors. Some that I built 5+ years ago are still running. When you consider that they have run 24/7 in an industrial climate, that's amazing. The ASUS board I bought for myself. I also have a Shuttle and a Supermicro. If AMD would produce...

My ASUS P4C800-E-Deluxe SUCKS. The SATA ports don't work (the ones controlled by Promise), only the rear USB ports work. Tech support is non-existant. Some of the BIOS's that I tried wouldn't boot the computer up, or caused more problems. Bozo :mrgrn:

The US has it's enviremental problems, but what worries me is China. This country is becomming an indusrial powerhouse with virtually no envirnmental controls at all. The governmant there is more concerned with industrial might and to hell with the envirnment. Bozo :mrgrn:

I'll add two P4, 3GHz computers that should be on 24/7. Every little bit helps. Bozo :mrgrn:

Here's post 2000. Next week I should be able to add a computer or two. But it will only be temerary. Bozo :mrgrn:

Bulb sockets are labeled as 'miniture' , candelabra, edison base, and mogel. Edison base is the most common house hold lamp base. Candelabra are used in Christmas lights and the candles that you see in the windows of houses. Mogel (Mogle sp???) was used in industrial and commercial lighting...

The DVD-RW disk I have used just require to be erased. No formating needed. These are Memorex DVD+RW. Used them straight from the box. The DVD-RW disk I have (Memorex) were used right out of the box. I haven't tried to erase these yet. There is nothing written on either box that says they must...
