Ah, well seeing as how I'm not in the market for most of those items, I wouldn't have known. Although, I don't recall them being on my distributor's list for locomotives. Maybe they don't carry that brand.

Welcome to the Century of the Anchovy Tannin, ISA is history, PCI-E is in. Tea, could you try to bring Tannin into this century?

Has anyone ever used the: AMA3700BEX5AR ? My disti describes it as: AMD Athlon 64 Mobile Desktop Replacement 3700+(2.4GHz) (81.5 W) L1=128KB L2=1MB

I expect the whole idea is that adapter cards in general all switch over to PCI-E. Essentially, we should have a bank of PCI-E slots, preferrably all the same size, downward compatible to smaller devices, like x1, and all of our beautiful cards would plug in and work (e.g. modems, sound cards...

Couldn't you produce a board without a x16 PCI-E and just use x1-whatever slots instead?

Westinghouse is still alive?

My car is at its safest when it's parked in the garage. :D

I didn't think s775 was that difficult, although I was a bit worried when I saw how the retention mechanism slightly bent the motherboard. "Oh well" I said, "it's just a Celeron system." I fired the beast up and it works just find, has been for several months.

Yes.

WD let's you change a jumper to switch to the old speed, but it <cough>doesn't</cough> always work. :roll:

PS: Nice link Steve. It's a shame that someone died because of something as insignificant as spam. Although it wasn't the spam as much as it was the person's arrogant, immodest and unreasonable attitude that put them in hot water with the local enforcers.

I think I mentioned this another time, maybe here or at the other place: strip them down to their under-garments, fill them full of their favorite alcohol, afterward let them spend some quiet time on a nice frigid glacier. After 20 minutes of losing body heat faster than the three-pointed star...

Greg, you are amazing, nay, not just amazing, but also special. Someday I hope to . . . well no, I really don't want to shake your hand just in case your ATA curse rubs off on me. Motherboards fail once in a great while, and with Gigabyte, it's very rare. Yet, you not only get a failed...

I've seen this with WD drives; plus on SIS chipsets. I'll have to try a Samsung SATAII on one of those VIA chips. Lately I've been using the nForce4.

:zzz:

Apparently, it is before the Century of the Anchovy.

Nope. Yep. Gigabyte has a variety of passively cooled ATI and nVidia cards, including an X800, X700, and a 6600GT.

Nice system Will. 1) Yes, that is a lot of money to spend on a case; the P-180 is even worse. But sometimes, if the item fits your need perfectly, it's worth the extra cost. 2) Yes. 3) Just as a note, the HD160JJ is a 80-gigabyte per platter drive. Don't get me wrong, it's still a nice...

The same machine I was running three or four years ago: AMD Athlon 1400C ECS K7VTA3 512 MB RAM WD400BB x 2 LG GSA-4163BK DVD Burner (this is new) Creative Labs 52x CD ROM drive Matrox P65 (installed ~1 year ago) Samsung 192t LCD (two years old) Basically, my machine has been assembled from...

Decent choices Fushigi, especially the video card. (Although I personally don't like to use Abit.)

Very dodgy, but creative . . . the boot . . . :D

That was only for about half an hour. I started to get this Sahara dry thing happening in my mouth and it woke me up. I figured I should find something cool and refreshing to quench this awful <yawn> feeling.

You weren't supposed to use a hammer. :mrgrn:

Now, Slot A was interesting, it certainly had some nice characteristics that improved on the Socket 7 design, but it didn't really reach maturity until it swtiched back and ushered in the Socket A. (Small moment of silence for the Socket A <sniffle> . . . . . . .)

From one perspective, yes -- it had inherent limitations due to the fancy architecture that would inevitably end its life. But the same could be said of all CPU designs, possibly not as resounding as Slot1/2. Nonetheless, the performance was excellent, especially once it matured to the...

My experience with C*rix is very limited, but I have built machines around the PR200 chip and I was quite happy with them -- no problems, no flakiness, no heat issues. The only thing that was strange at the time was the performance rating, but now it's becoming the norm. C*rix was way ahead of...

:rofl: I didn't even notice where he was trying to link that picture from! You don't have permission to access www.redhill.net.au/jpg/d-sv0322.jpgon this server.

They make for nice swap file drives.

Mommy, he said it again!

In general this is true, although I'm currently bidding on a niche audio recording and editing system that will benefit from a dual-core AMD 64 CPU.

So we can expact Socket 754 to be around at least for another year. That isn't too bad.

Gotta love this description: Völlig intakt und läuft noch wie ein Glöckchen also schnell zugreifen - Excellent condition, fast access time and operates with the precision of a clock. If my hard drive ever operated with the precision of a clock, my data would be lost. :D

Thanks for the link Steve. At least new and improved versions are in the works. Come on September. :D

By the way, external drives still have a 1-year warranty.

On the desktop side of things, here are a few items to ponder: CPU: Dual cores, like the 4400+ are excellent performers, but demand a premium price, so you can expect to pay $600.00 - $650.00 for one of these beauties. MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte GA-K8N ULTRA-9 should give you the necessary features...

For some reason, images of the movie Any Which Way But Loose come to mind -- Tony swearing at misfit motherboards, and Tea out back giving the old heap of electronics a toss through the air. A good 100 feet from the back porch there must be a pile of old computer stuff (mostly Compaq/HP boxes)...

I've been aiming to try Kyrocera, but they're difficult to get, even through they have a branch office 25 minutes from my house. It doesn't help that I dont' sell that many printers in general.

A customer's system I just upgrade uses Wordperfect. Bloated! It's just like MS Office. Now, OpenOffice, that has more potential. I wish it would work with programs like Quickbooks.

Except for those lousy PS/2 connectors that required a special backplane adapter and a motherboard header. Not to mention cramming all the other serial connectors and the parallel connector into a space that was designed for children's hands.

Yes, those HP driver installs can be difficult. The worst scenario is when the end user hooks up the device to the computer, Windows semi-detects the device and then the user runs the driver install. It never works. Follow the instructions dear customer, install drivers before connecting...

Strange problem Steve. Unfortunately for you, when I click on the Print Icon link, the pop-up is immediate, ready for me to print. I have the Block Popup Windows option checked.

:lol: nice snip from the article mubs Here is the new Ferrari 575M Superamerica: pictures

Typical ape, using generalities like 'any tea drinkers...not real ones at any rate'. Granted it is not as wide spread as one sees in the British Empire, but there are true tea drinkers just the same. PS: Once the kettle switches off, the water immediately stops bubbling, isn't that a sign of...

Looks like a good project. Let me know about Easy Recovery, because I use that too.

Too late.

Santilli, If anyone were to serve an unusually hot beverage in an inadequate drink vessel, I would certainly find that unreasonable. However, since I (nor do I allow any of my passengers) do not drink or eat in my car, it is a moot point for me. But, for countless millions in this country, it...

Did someone say Scotch?

What matters is the reasonableness of both parties. It's common sense that a hot drink contains hot liquids that are potentially dangerous. If I'm going to serve a hot drink, I'll take reasonable safety precautions, just like the consumer should take reasonable precautions when handling the...
