ATI/AMD has a list of validated DisplayPort adapters here; still need active for >2 displays.

IIRC, you need to use active (around $100) adapters with Eyefinity. Edit: Need active adapters if using more than 2 displays (per card?); see note 1 here.

Maybe not

My take is that the observed behavior indicates that the antifreeze/water mix is less efficient at cooling than 100% water (BTW running 100% water for extended times in contemporary engines is a very bad idea - corrosion/rusting accelerates). Look at the data in Howell's post regarding thermal...

I often hear that, but nobody seems to have any evidence. Got a link? I'm not saying it isn't true, but like so many other oft repeated watercooling maxims, there is a good possibility that this one might also be false.

Yes, but IIRC from research a decade ago, in circumstances where you get a worrisome amount of HF, the HF is the least of your worries.

Photographer's Bill of Rights

Yup, in retail boxes. The last Seagate version I used only needed a Seagate drive to be present for the install; after that it worked fine without a Seagate drive present.

Confimed: serial port onboard

Onboard (as near as I can tell; it's listed with the other onboard stuff) and cheaper than I thought: $1200 at Insight.

Panasonic Toughbook 52 series marketing materials (.pdf) claim a 9 pin serial port. Price is 1700+ though...

Only a performance issue; extra read/writes when clusters bridge 4K sectors. Essentially the same issue as unaligned SSDs.

U.S. Navy ships (maybe vessel class namesakes - Seawolf and Kidd are class names).

There was an amendment to the NAFTA that changed the tariff schedules and resulted in more HFCS being imported to Mexico. Now some MX Coke has HFCS listed as a possible sweetner. Interesting article from Consumer Reports.

Stupid overlay area codes. When I lived in LA, I was within a 1/2 drive of 6 area codes (310, 818, 626, 323, 213, and 562); made for quick geolocation. Now I need to dial 1+ ten digits to call next door, because of an overlay area code, and the quick location is gone. Edit: IIRC, when I first...

For a while, my off-the-cuff PSU recommendation (for people seeking free advice) goes like this: Number of physical CPUs+GPUs x 200 = wattage (W) If W>1200 or using TEC then "That is a specialized application. Do your own research or hire a consultant." If W <=1000 and buyer has compatible Antec...

Upon further reflection, thermal throttling does seem unlikely to be the cause. The magnitude of degredation seems out of character, as TM1 only provides 50% duty cycle reduction (I'm assuming Netburst processor). More likely that the SATA controller has issues (like aging capacitors mucking up...

Thermal throttling due to clogged/dead/unseated HSF?

As PSU estimators go, it is not too bad; Antec uses it as their calculator. FYI, the Kill-A-Watt does not play nice with some PSUs, especially ones with APFC. Sometimes it reports values that indicate over 100% efficiency.

Hey, ECP uses a DMA channel also! IIRC 378,7,1

Maybe, maybe not. Win7 uses and reports memory usage differently than previous versions. What does Task Manager report for Total, Cached, Available, Free? Win7 runs just fine on 2GB for everyday office/web surfing use. Arstechnica has a decent description of Win7 memory management and the...

Thanks for looking; I do appreciate your wasting time on such a trivial matter. I'm probably just going to walk away from that discussion, (ok, maybe I'll leave a snide remark) because (a) the OP cannot furnish any supporting evidence that I'd accept as genuine, (b) he has the capability of...

HELP! I'm having one of those moments where I can't tell if I am just missing something obvious, or if my own arrogance is blindng me to the truth. Please take a look at this thread at mersenneforum.org (my username is the same), and please tell me: Am I (a) just plain wrong, (b)...

I think you mean Keith's wrinkles. :)

No personal knowledge or experience, but I am told that the MSFT Live Mesh beta provides some remote desktop functionality on 7 Home (along with XP?).

SuperTalent, apparently.

California has required low sulfur (15ppm) diesel since June 2006; it becomes mandatory nationwide December 1, 2010. Non-highway uses are on a different schedule.

Not the same functionality as discussed here, but camelegg.com and associated sites might be a useful adjunct. The Camelizer plugin for Chrome and Firefox looks interesting.

You mean the MaxiPad?

Heh, looks like the event took down Ars; getting 500 server errors.

Arstechnica has a live blog starting just before the event at 10AM PT/1PM ET.

Well, you can get an old school PCI adapter but I'm not sure that helps unless somebody knows of a PCI card capable of 3 displays. The external Matrox triplehead adapters are fairly small, but probably not small enough.

Mt. Kilimanjaro or a cruise from Caribbean via South Am. to Antarctica?

Kencol: Did you try all modes (SPP,EPP,ECP) available in the BIOS with the generic cable? The pin-out according to Gigabyte's website appears to be standard.

And firmware updates for the drive.

I see that Kingston EOL'd the 40GB and will replace it with a 30GB model with a Toshiba TRIM-enabled controller. Anandtech reports that the new 30GB will be $80 AR next month. Now Intel's position makes more senese.

I expect that they are practically identical to the Kingston 40GB drives that use Intel flash; probably 1/2 the write speed of the 80GB drives.

Heh, apparently I've got a split personality; I'm both 11 and 108.

Visit a member profile and check the resulting url for their user number (Davin is 2, Eugene is 5, Mercutio is 7, I'm 108, etc.). I assume that number reflects the order that the user registered with the forum.

Disclaimer: This is from the remote recesses of my memory (say, just after Win2K released), so I might just be absolutely wrong, and involved 4 NICs, rather than wireless. IIRC, I had a similar situation, and I resolved it by configuring the NICs associated with the crossover cable to unique...

2GB and 3450 video is fine for mid-range use. For reference, the 3450 gives a Win7 experience score of 4.0/5.5 (Aero/3D games).

They might have pulled it; there used to be a radio button menu attached to the HD button that let you select 720p or 1080p. Now it looks like you only get SD and HD 720p.

(Edit time expired) The clip is not that demanding, as it generally lacks full-frame motion and camera pans, but it is very high quality -you can see individual bits of fuzz- and cute.

Muppets do Queen HQ includes 1080p option

I had a similar problem once upon a time. Once, someone needed more ethernet ports in his office. He brought in a spare router with 4 port switch, and never turned off the router's DHCP server. Took me 2 hours on a Sunday to track it down by disconnecting cables and pinging the 192.168.1.1...

No and no. The OS issues the TRIM command, the drive interprets it. Intel (last I read - at Anandtech I think) does not plan to update the older (50nm) drives firmware.

Merc, check your PM (not Cisco VPN related, unfortunately).

Specs (and picture) on Newegg say 1x90mm fan. Also looks like the Newegg picture is rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

Sheesh, 399.99 now.

I've used Quicken since v1 or v2 for DOS, so it works OK for me. The newer versions are bloated, but still work fine. Much better than the 123 worksheet that I used prior. The online banking features are OK; don't expect integration (payments directly from Quicken, rather than via bank website)...
