Nice! :lol:

... and is exceptional at cleaning-up/preventing virus infections.

Nope, you didn't include any comments about the virtues of multi-tasking in OS/2. :D

Just to help clarify and add to David's comment, hard drive manufacturers define a megabyte as 1,000,000 bytes and a gigabyte as 1,000,000,000 bytes. This is a decimal (base 10) measurement and is the industry standard. However, certain system BIOSs, FDISK and Windows define a megabyte as...

Thanks Steve, good find.

Nice! That looks like it can do some serious breathing.

I thought that was nowhere?

Wow! Why make it so complicated? Just buy a goat. You'll get a well trimmed lawn and later you can make yourself a nice Goat Masala. :D

This is a very important principle, but at the same time I haven't had the type of Asus woes that Tannin has experienced. Asus doesn't deserve to cost more, but they have been just as reliable for me as Gigabyte.

The one redeeming feature for the K8VM800M's IGP is that it has an AGP slot - I need somewhere to plug in a P650 card. :D

Still a decent machine in its own right.

Yup, great concept. The Ram or air-acceleration principle has been used in automobiles and motorbikes for some time. I remember when I subscribed to Cycle World in the mid-80s about different intake angles on bikes that would help accelerate air, ramming it into the combustion chamber...

My problem is that most boards have more features than I want or need. On the Intel side of things, the price gets really high for decent i925 boards and 3GHz processors.

Hoarding? If you want more A7N8X boards, I can get them easily (my disti has over 100 in stock).

Lately, a lot of hardware items have been annoying. Besides not being able to find the perfect combination of features on a motherboard, quantities for good AMD boards have been low. Sure, I can get them, but I prefer to see 300 in stock versus just 10. The high quantity stuff is either a...

I still prefer Perfect Disk.

I was wondering if there would be any lifespan issues too.

Yeah, those were bad. I think those were the 256KB cache drives. They had problems with stiction, high concentrations of particulates, and platter lubricant issues. Plus, that was their first series with MR heads, and they werent' very successfull with that technology. Ironically, they were...

Saw it, liked it. The Indian dinner afterward was pretty good too.

Overall, life has been good for me. I've had stretches of bad days (sometimes lasting a year) but they're out numbered by the good days. Either that, or as Dave mentioned, my memory is so bad, that I can't remember the bad days. :D

I've never had a Phal before, and judging by the description I've read, I don't think I'd want one either. :D

Get our your reading glasses.

As fascinating as these movies are, I find it interesting how something as non-visual as listening to an Opera can be more enjoyable than watching movies. No matter how many times I've heard something like the duet between a Tenor and Baritone from Don Carlo with beautiful music and a chorus in...

'Two things altered my SW interest: 1. The re-edited versions of the original three. 2. Episode I.' I'm happy to still have my original VHS set, but they're getting a little worn. Episode I was bad, but I thought that Episode II had some good moments. I particularly liked Count Dooku and the...

You mean there are still non-integrated sound controller options? Why?

I'm within a few miles of a nuclear power plant. :drnk:

Yup, my patio umbrella came in handy this weekend when I lounged around outside eating lunch, snacking on some chips and salsa, reading some magazines.

Must be my aging eyes. :blue:

Not me. Maybe I'll go this weekend, perhaps Sunday afternoon.

Yes. Yes. Snappy. No. The one item that will make the system lag is the onboard video. But hey, once you're down to this type of configuration, you can't complain.

:lol: "Do us a favour will you?"

Dell monitors are very bright, and in my opinion, that is their achillies heel. I want contrast and color reproduction, not a bright light. Time, as far as your quest goes for 17" LCDs, I'd skip the idea and move straight to 19" LCDs. Both usually have the same native resolution (1280 x...

I don't have a lawn.

I've never recorded video with Windows. Does Media Player by default create WMV files?

Pictures? :D

My take on matters by looking at Linux OSes from the Windows world is that I'm not ready for them yet . . . or I could arrogantly say they're not ready for me. One brand I have been keeping my eye on is Novell, which runs Suse. However, they have a very comprehensive package available for the...

Granted, I've never purchased a Draytek product before, and they seem difficult to find in the U.S., however, I found a company in Colorado that sells their stuff.

Supermicro FYI

Yes, and it's super easy. Be careful with SATA II, there are compatibility issues between this new protocol and VIA chipsets. This is true. I do prefer the SATA cable manageability compared to PATA.

Thirdeddedided . . . Athlon 64 3000+, Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9, and two sticks 512 MB PC3200 RAM.

Things are working fine for me.

:(

ABM is for a brew master that doesn't have any financial interest in the company. If you do, then you are at the highest level, simply: Brew Master.

ABM = Associate Brewmaster.

The Bartender is helping me get my ABM certifcation.

Ooops, I apparently ignore posts from iGary.

On a side note, Matrox has 64-bit drivers available. http://www.matrox.com/mga/support/drivers/latest/home.cfm

Crass and moody too.
