I think I'm just going to sell 2GB and forget about it...

Informative review: http://www.techspot.com/review/40-core2-e4300-vs-e6300-overclocking/page1.html

Crapola. Maybe it is time to experiment with C2D.

Reducing RAM to 3x1GB=3GB lowered my score to somewhere in the 2's...it was still running at 100Mhz. Reducing RAM to 2x1GB=2GB INCREASED my score to 5.1/5.9 from 3.8/5.9 with 4x1GB=4GB because the RAM is now running at 200Mhz. I knew there were some problems with the earlier A64's and larger...

Here's something odd from CPU-Z: I wonder if having all 4 DIMM slots populated has made my system slow down to 100Mhz DDR ram? I manually set the memory speed to 200Mhz in the BIOS but it doesn't seem to be making a difference. I'll pull some ram to see if it makes a difference.

It's OCZ CAS2 (2-3-2-5) Platinum DDR400 stuff.

Mark-What version of Linux are you using? Ubuntu all the way?

I decided to install Vista x64 on a separate HDD for a 30-day trial just to play with it. I was suprised to see that, even though I have 4GB RAM, my lowest score on Sytem Information tool was related to ram:

The power Unions have to get what they want. Give us the benefits we want or we'll put you out of business. I think the 2007 contract talks will be a reality check for the UAW.

I have an Express 3200 chipset with uli U1575 southbridge & Toledo 4400+. I find it to be less stable than my old NF4 SLI setup. I get occasional BSODs with the ATi chipset whereas I never had a BSOD with the NF4 SLI chipset. Do the Catalyst drivers for my X1900 also contain the chipset...

Are you sure you're going to be able to use all 4GB of that RAM? Or, are you using x64? Most people with 4GB installed are only able to use about 3GB with the rest of the memory addresses reserved for system devices (unless using x64)

As stated, the panoramic windshield is an option. So there's no need to get it if you don't want it.

I have had a pcmcia card in my P3 laptop continuously for a few years. No problems. I would rather have that than a USB one. USB ones look like they just want to break off. Also, location of your USB ports could be an issue. With my laptop, the ports are on the back with makes it...

Nothing special, it is just an avi created by my camera. I'm on a relatively fresh WinXP install and I have not installed any codecs. Don't even think I have divx installed... Maybe try re-downloading? I'm using Windows Media Player to play it.

If you have a 240V outlet in your house, the fireworks could be even more entertaining.

I wass very suprised to see Canada at the top of the list. I was also very suprised to see that the US isn't on the list at all with all the music downloading that goes on here. http://www.dailytech.com/A+Closer+Look+at+World+Copyright+Piracy/article6123.htm

I would use Thunderbird but it doesn't let me access all my Hotmail accounts from within the client like OE does. That's a really nice feature and very handy since I use three hotmail accounts for different things..

lol I was recording the video with my Casio Exilim.

Men making fools of themselves but having a great time... 160MB video clip. C

Maybe you had a nice tail wind or were going down hill.

According to several websites, I see the top speed as 105-106. I know you need every MPH so I just thought I'd mention it. lol

I am afraid to click the link ...is it safe for work?

I just export my FFox bookmarks to an html file and send that file to my hotmail account for safe keeping. I've never used the File and Settings Transfer Wizard. If merc recommends it I'm sure it must be the best way though. I just copy my Outlooks Express DBX files, put them where I want...

Yeah that was totally nutz!!

IMO, if you're not going off-road, any car with FWD and a good set of snow tires is probably fine 95% of the time unless you have a tendency to go out before the plows can get out.

BTW, the G80 locking differential is a $295 option, so it's a box that is easy to check off.

Toyota's website states it is only a limited slip differential. http://www.toyota.com/tundra/specs.html According to Edmunds, a Locking Differential is not available on the Tundra. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/Comparos/articleId=119281/pageId=118461 I do stand corrected on...

More traction and efficient torque distribution is always good. :-) You never think you need it until you need it.

Here's another cool video showing the benefit of the G80. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGlacQlBGcQ Here's a better description of the difference between a G80 and a Detroit Locker: G80 is unlocked unless it detects a slip and will only stay engaged/locked up to 25mph.

Just quoting what I've read at a credible source: http://www.chrismans.com/AskSpankyDiff.html

Also, Detroit Lockers (as well as the G80) are made by Eaton but the G80 is NOT a Detroit Locker. Detroit Lockers are locked all the time. G80 is not. It locks only when required because locked differentials are typically noisy.

I meant real full-size pickups, not toy trucks like the Ranger, Canyon or any other small pickup. I believe Detroit lockers are only after market installed, not OEM. I don't believe a locking differential is available on any current Toyota pickup trucks.

GM trucks are the only vehicles available with the G80 locking differential. They are definitely the way to go. Even 4WD vehicles with limited slip differentials are terrible in comparison. Video demonstration below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8nAbg5suFw

Just speculation. Not gonna happen.

Everything I've read says 1GB is basically the min. RAM you should have to run Vista and it makes a big difference bumping up from 512MB. 2GB is much much better as well from what I have read.

Chrysler stole the 300C styling from Bentley. That's why all the homies love them (at least around here). It's a fer-schizzle gangsta rappers car. I was looking at King magazine (like Maxim for African American males) and every other page had a tricked out 300C on it. And the women in...

Similar platform but definitely not the same product. It's built here in the US and I believe the main area of commonality is more underbody related.

BTW, the Astra GTC version will do 138mph, so I think 110 is no problem. not sure about that sticker stuff. Must be a CA thing. http://www.topspeed.com/cars/opel/opel-astra-ar17269.html

So I guess you'd never buy a car with a sunroof, either. Also, sounds like you're kind of clueless about Saturn and their vehicles too, I'd guess. You might want to checkout the Outlook, the Aura, and the Sky. Nonetheless, thanks for your feedback about the roof, guys.

GM's pension fund is overfunded by $17 Billion so I don't think you'll see any Enron type disasters there.

DD- You will be able to buy that car (in Saturn guise) in late 2007: http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/08/making-it-official-saturn-astra-confirmed-by-gm/ The panoramic view roof is optional. C

Sold

I had to use the AMD Dual Core Optimizer or else the audio and video would not synch up with my TV tuner card.

Can you imagine what truckers might get the chance to see. LOL

Just curious, if you were to see this type of roof as an option on other vehicles in the future ;-) ... would you want it? Would you pay a little extra for it? It has a retractible sun-shade. C

Ford is in a bit of a bind though. They have put everything up for collateral to get a big loan. The F-150, the Blue Oval, all of their Ford stuff is up as collateral to get their loan. With their new CEO though (Mulally, who is an outsider-not a Ford family member-an executive vice...

All they have to do is hire Vicki ! If the product stinks at least the exterior stylist is nice to look at. :-)

I think Ford will be fine. Got myself some shares at just under $8. Ford is just late doing what GM has been doing for the past few years. As of today, DCX will probably be getting on the boat too. I'm glad to see GM leading the turnaround of the domestics. :-) We have a lot of great...
