Late, as usual. But may I add my thanks.

THG was so popular then that it was my first regularly "attended" hardware site. Next was "blink-blink" (just realized I couldn't remember, just that he was PC hardware's boy wonder). What annoyed me was his having to break up articles into a paragraph-long segments. I was on verrry slow...

reminds me of Jackie Chan's movie Rush Hour. :) I suppose many of these jars/artifacts were broken when they were first found. Maybe more so in archeological digs. So they could have gone through a piecing-together already.

And one of the noisiest, AFAIK. or am I trying to remember the BAC-111? That was also one of the planes with 2 engines very near the tail.

yes, he did

We've heard of them in Philippines. Never been able to get them though

excuse me while I reply. I was once up on a HS748 on a short hop from Iligan City to Cebu. Flew quite low (12000 ft if I remember correctly). The pressurization wasn't any good. My ears popped a lot and I was semi-deaf for 2 weeks afterward. The Cebu to Manila leg was on a jet. I would have...

Until a year ago, 95% of mobile phones here were Nokia. Now, Sony-Eriksson has grabbed some market share. I used to have a Nokia 3350. Traded it off for a 1100. Still don't have use for a camera phone. Meaning I can't afford them. All my kids have camera phones, though. Dunno if the...

Yes, yes. am thinking am thinking. hmmm. hmmm. I'll investigate your suggestions and see what I will work for me. Uhh. hmmmm. hmmmm. It has 2x 512mb DDR400. but I don't think that line in the 386enh section will work. I haven't even got to starting the setup for win98. have to read up on...

I can't even buy a 14" LCD to take advantage of the savings in electrical consumption. Stuck with this 17" NEC Diamondtron. The wife's jumping up and down getting me to shut this PC down 'coz our electric bill is unaffordable. I suppose this new technology is 2x or 3x the cost of LCDs. huh?

whoops! verrrryy old links, too. circa 2000. not useful

hello 'i' thanks for the linux link. am scouring through the "link" from the "link" as what I have is the RRS (verrrrry old) not the RR-G. hope to get some useful info on this. hope I get it to work

yes, a good reason the only capture card I have is a Matrox RRS which only has drivers for Win98SE and earlier. I used t0 be able to dual boot with my old systems. capture (and capture only) in Win98 and edit on Win2K. But this mobo won't allow me to install win98. I just want to be sure that...

I can't install Win98SE on my Gigabyte NF3 mobo. It is a K8NS, NForce3 250 full ATX motherboard. When I get to Win98SE setup, it hangs. Is it possible that the chipset precludes the use of old Windows? It is reasonably stable on Win2K.

it doesn't matter Hello Cougtek, Just wanted to say, whoever will head Canada now, soon, or later, won't matter to the lot of Filipinos and and their families wishing to flee my country. IMO, we already have a head of state (some say she isn't the legitimate head of state because she cheated in...

Congratulations. Those are much, much better than the ones shown in the website. Save the money on the cameras. Buy lighting equipment first to soften the hotspots. If you think that won't do it then go ahead with the rest of the hardware. rank amateur here floating in. :P

I use a Nokia 1100 mobile phone. It cost me 3,100 pesos (divide by 54 to get it in USD. OK it was USD57) 5 months ago it was a Nokia 3350. Sold that for P1500 to upgrade to this one. Only reason for upgrading was to have the "sent" messages which wasn't in the previous phone. The Philippines...

good morning. I am very late. still May I wish you all a Happy New Year from here. Philippines. I think you all have an idea what we are going through in our country. Not as bad as Iraq (or maybe a lot of other places) but, I still think we are looking forward and expecting a better year than...

Happy "Day After Christmas" was busy yesterday... celebrating! Congratulations THE JOJO. It's a very hard job (albeit very satisfying) being a parent.

Ha! Tony. I'm 51, so I thoroughly understand what's happening :mrgrn: Yep, install '98 first.

I remember the time when I stayed up 4 nights in a row trying to get a glitch free Win98 install. Of course that was more than 5 years ago. oh, and the times I stayed up 3 nights and the times I stayed up 2 nights... I think it was a celeron 400 on a Tomato lx motherboard. I am...

(sigh) My batting average is 0.0 No access to a decent power supply, yet. Nothing better than the one I've got. I cut out most of my equipment, leaving just the video card, and one hard disk, the 5V readings are still crappy. I was able to borrow a generic PSU half the weight of this Task and...

I like FireFox, whatever version, i.e. from the start. I hated IE, from the start. I like Opera, too. My dial-up was too slow for me to discern differences in load up speeds so I can't start to understand what many of you are saying. And I can't start to understand many of the subtleties...

I am sorry, I forgot to mention what I should have. Yes, I do experience hangs even when playing from a hard disk file. They are AVIs of an unknown format, but probably DivX or XVid. (how does one uncover which) What does the machine look like? I am sorry but you've seen it before. And I am...

I am reading this at 6:00 in the morning. I know you have gone through a lot of aggravation in this. Yet, I have been entertained. And educated... May I thank you. Definitely will keep coming back to SF. Lots of knowledge here.

Whoops, while I was typing my reply to Tony, Mercution had chimed in. I was using PowerDVD 5. I switched over to Windows Media Player, version 6.4, which came with W2K, which is upgraded to SP4. WMP was worse. It seemed it was trying to keep me from watching the movie, hanging repeatedly almost...

you are right, Tony. that was not the advice I was looking for. Yet, it seems I will be taking it. I have decided not to bother troubleshooting and return the Radeon 7000 to my Brother-In-Law and that's happening tomorrow. This is a learning experience for me. I have also arranged to buy...

yes, I have the latest drivers and directX9C.

A quick question. I have an NVIDIA MX4000 card 64mb. spec'd at AGP 8X and DirectX8.1. I had no problems with it. I got hold of an ATI Radeon 7000, spec'd at AGP 4X and DirectX7, supposedly supports DirectX 8. I like the display better, smoother and more pleasant colors. But every now and then...

uh! ok sechs. didn't think of it that way. will stress that other system more then.

Hi, Looks like it's the software. Before I went to the shop to have the PSU replaced, I tried it on an older rig and tested it using the same measuring software and torture test. The 5V values stayed between 5.10 and 5.15 the whole time. Maybe people haven't been able to make monitoring...

I'm going to need another project to do that. :o ok. let's say I target that. but i'm going to need 3-4 days. what damage would those bad voltages do to my system?

ok, I've tested using OCCT stability test and monitored by Speedfan at default settings. The 5V values are really erratic

Hi, posted this in another thread, but I thought my question about erratic 5V values needs to be on this section: My current rig. proc/mobo/PSU are new Sempron-64 2600+ (default 1,600Mhz but running now @ 2,443Mhz, which is a 53% overclock - NEW Gigabyte K8NS, NForce3-250 mobo - NEW 2x512Mb...

That's a very graphic word to use, I like it. Horrible. I suspected faulty voltage tracking software, too. It's hard to believe such fluctuations wouldn't cause errors. I do hope you're right. What does the mobo do with the 5 volts it is fed? I was thinking control electronics and the 12V was...

made the switch, :D A project came along which enabled me to make my desired switchover to AMD. I'm happy Sempron-64 2600+ (default 1,600Mhz but running now @ 2,443Mhz, which is a 53% overclock - NEW Gigabyte K8NS, NForce3-250 mobo - NEW 2x512Mb TwinMos DDR400 4 months old Samsung SP0802N...

should have posted this with the previous one. always late. but never mind. my NEC 3540 was bought retail by a friend from Hongkong at a cost of P3,500. That's USD 64.00 quite expensive. but they weren't available here in the Philippines, then. and they are just appearing here, OEM at a higher...

may I offer my thanks, too, to the distinguished gentleman. in tagalog and Filipino, "Maraming Salamat"

my NEC DW3540 is all right. it's been with me for 3 months. well, sometimes it does not respond when I press the button, but it usually does after a try or two.

I wanted to say something about the cat and just forgot. Zelda's a girl cat, isn't she? Just wondering 'cause back here, cats are normally skinnier and only males get to be so like yours. Females usually have thinner faces. Hmmm. maybe I've got a reason to take pictures of the cats around...

you can say that again. I use an Oly C750UZ and I still can't get the hang of anticipating the right moment to click the shutter. It's never like a film camera where you see something on the eyepiece, click and know that you've got the moment you want. Gah! sometimes makes me want to swear...

I put myself in Mercutio's shoes, and suddenly I can't think. Would it help if they could reverse the operation? I suppose with new technology, that would be doable. I can't think.

Hello Groltz, how do you do that pagefile mod in the registry? sorry, not knowledgeable. but i'd like to try that.

I agree wholeheartedly. Burned once, that's enough. Bit Tornado is behaving well for me, as of now. :D

blakerwry, hmmm. that's new to me. I'll see if that's the case. But I've got a gig of RAM and my pagefile is at default. Whenever I look at my memory usage it's never over 300mb.

Radiation? Really have to find those P2,000.00. I am switching again from the DARK SIDE. I was thinking of just upgrading from the CeleronD to a full fledged P4, but if the Sempron64 really cures my acne, that's the one I got to have. :mrgrn:

Hey, if this is true then it is a plausible explanation for what I am experiencing. I have a Celeron D2.53 by accident. Used to have a Sempron 2400. This system is the most hiccupy system I've ever had since my AMD 42mhz. When it's been doing something one thing for a while, say preparing a...

see, it was so long ago, I forgot. I only remember I got my first PC in 1995 and stumbled on the internet and SR shortly after. I was a fan of redhill.com. great large photos (sometimes hung my PC, they took so long to download) and lots of info, updated then but still relevant today. I...

of course, I can't KNOW tannin. but still enough to really enjoy and stay with storagereview since way back 1996. (extreme lurker-mode. got the gumption to sign up as "crispulo" which maybe Tony may somehow remember) but the above was just to make a twist to the post and a jibe at my own...

Success! pure BitTornado, that's what works. I can surf even after an hour of idle time. yesterday, I had BitComet on for a while. Then I paused all my downloads on it and exited. But it still cut off my surfing. I won't bother about it anymore. I've got my solution. And, Mercution, you are...
