There is the need of spare parts for the current servers that run on PCI-X. Maybe there will be no more speed increases, but I'd expect at least five years more for PCI-X. But PCI-X will never become a bus for "normal" motherboards. Hopefully we'll see better than 1x PCI Express slots in...

You can boot DOS from those pen drives, perhaps even Win9x. Win2k/XP needs drivers (boot mode/kernel, that is). It's just a matter of how the pen drive is emulated, and what the motherboard's BIOS supports; USB FDD, USB HDD and/or USB CD-ROM. Cheers, Jan

You'd need about 25 Ohm, 3 Watt resistors. If I did the math right... :-? Jan

Yeah, 4.x for me too... It's just so much faster to start and render the pages. 4.x starts in less than a second (1 GHz and above), 5.x in five seconds, and 6.x (IIRC) needs more than ten... I tried 6.x one time, and that was enough. What a bloatware. I have to use 5.x at work, and it gets a...

I did lap my Celeron's HS (Intel retail one) with 1200 grit. Basically because that was the first piece I found (OK, the first one was 400...). Mostly I sanded off the remainders of Intel's thermal goop/patch, but I didn't get mirror finish. IIRC You'd have to use some kind of polishing...

Just make sure that there are no obstructions under the "unused" part of the PCI connector. Like southbridges. :lol: Cheers, Jan

Zalman CNPS7000A-AlCu is the easiest solution. It comes with a FanMate (and a fan...), so it's ready to run out of the box. I haven't tried, but I've read that Zalman's fans have inconsistent quality (e.g. some run with 5 V, some don't), so the quietness is determined on how good Zalman fan You...

OT: I liked ineresting better... :lol: Cheers, Jan

No news is good news... sometimes. Jan

515 pounds!?! A forklift could be handy, even if it comes in two parts... $21000... Wouldn't a projector be a tad cheaper? Cheers, Jan

And the blocking wouldn't work very well, if someone else quotes a part of the post from the user who is ignored by You... Also, the continuity of the thread can cause more double-posting (not by same user, but posts of same context). Blocking per thread could work though. Cheers, Jan

I think it runs on both (well, at least both 5 V and 12 V go to the adapter). IIRC max. current rating for the wire used in PSU cables (16 AWG) is 6 A. That's per one wire. I did run a PowerLeap & 1,3 GHz Tualatin with 230 W Enlight PSU. Compared to the old processor (PIII 600E @ 1,3 V) I could...

OMG!! That was amazing! I especially enjoyed when he/she collected 50 extra "lifes" from one of those autoscrolling levels. BTW, I still have NES and SNES, though they are not connected ATM. But still right next to the TV... I still enjoy playing F-Zero (SNES version) every once in a while. Jan

I can't understand why they made it look like ZA. Most likely to attract new users. I think that I'll re-install 2.1.5 back too. Cheers, Jan

:D Jan

Yep, now where I could change that? I don't need it, to be honest. Jan

I miss the "master switch": deny all/ask me... It seems that I have to do "Block all not permitted" -rule for my parent's computer to lessen the support calls. It's bit slower to disable than the "master switch" though (when I'm using the computer). BTW, CityK, do You see where the "time...

Well, kinda... That's just PROM... BIOS chips are Flash ROM (I'm not sure whether the suffix "ROM" is justified with Flash...). Static electricity is bad for those chips. Especially as one must change them often. You'd need some sort of protective cover to shield the pins when the card is out...

Using 100baseT You'll limit the max. transfer rate to 10 MB/s (to the clients, that is). So 32 bit PCI is not that much of a limitation to the 3Ware, as You can't get the data through the Ethernet port any faster. But with Gbit Ethernet You will get into trouble fast. Not because of the added...

Which makes me wonder, as one is 1280x1024 and the other 1600x1200. Like comparing a 21" CRT to a 19" CRT. ... And I'd like to have one of those. Only $899? Add a 15% off -coupon and... But only in US... :evil: [Luckily my Nokia is still going strong...] Cheers, Jan

Congrats timwhit!!! Jan Seems that I still have to type few more posts to hit 1k...

Smaller ones are viable option also, if space is not a necessity. Jan

I hope that it's included to SP5... IIRC there was some fix for W2k non-server, and that was "contact Microsoft" -type... I guess running w/ SP2 is not an option... :mrgrn: Cheers, Jan

I think some (if not most) service providers block certain ports to the Internet (137-139, at least). Jan

Now now JoJo, I'm sure You meant Estonia, didn't You? :D Jan

I'd try the other AT gig card and/or different cable to the ABit first. That sounds like half/full duplex autonegotiation is not working correctly (low speeds), but I have no experience with gigE gear... Cheers, Jan

Hmm... The idle noise seems bit off... Many have stated at SilentPCReview.com that 7200.7 is louder than Samsung SP80. Well, that's just what the meter hears... Cheers, Jan

Well, at least they know how to hold a CD. :lol: Jan

Tetris: Why don't the blocks explode or something? This game would be good if it had characters... They don't know that the idea of the new games evolved from Tetris. I like the last line from the article, where they play Space Invaders: :lol: Cheers, Jan

I hope they can cope with more than two platters... Jan

XP has some version slipstreamed (IIRC 4.38?), so maybe there is still need for an update for the 8xAGP, which all new boards have. I don't know if Windows Update could install the VIA 4.40 AGP driver (or what's it called). If You are installing 4-in-1s, I'd suggest You head to some forum (like...

I've always disabled the Autorun feature. Does this make my computer means of felony? :wink: Jan

I wish I could experience something like that, even once...

There's something (in a form of a patch) at MS TechNet. Here's the patch page. Hmm, where's the button to uninstall IE6? :wink: Cheers, Jan

I guessed it right then... :wink: I think selling retail drives with only 1yr. warranty will make the price more competitive. After all, one can still buy the Extended Warranty for $14.95. I don't know what the pricing is in US, but I think that dropping the warranty could cut the prices...

Remember that both Maxtor and Seagate had both only 1yr. warranties when they lowered their warranty periods. Now both have "high-end models" (read: drives with 8MB buffer) which have 3yr. warranty. Perhaps WD will readjust the warranties in the future. Needless to say that marketshare of...

Sometimes, when I don't visit SR every day, there will be more than one page of new posts. When I go to page two, I see the new posts in page two. But at this point I can't go back to page one, as the forum marks all the posts in page one read when I reload it! This really sucks. This seems to...

But won't that still run in graphical mode? Jan

Honold kinda tries to prove it here... Look for the quote that Blake did made in that thread few posts lower, it has the unmodified version... Cheers, Jan

Following that link reveals that Travelstar drives have also 3yr. warranties! I've always thought that 2.5" drives have 1yr. warranties, especially after the warranty period reduction last fall. Have other 2.5" drive manufacturers more-than-one-year warranties? Cheers, Jan

Thanks, those were interesting. Maintaining 16X DVD (roughly 21 MB/s) is something that screams for defragging before burn... Or a separate burning partition... Cheers, Jan

Windows without windows: what is it then? Jan

Seeing clips like this makes me wish that I could play some instrument... Jan

I'm sorry Blake, I misunderstood You. That does sound stupid use for a domain. Do you "tech" guys have admin rights in your own workstation, or do You have only user rights? Cheers, Jan

I was thinking: If one uses Windows without the GUI, wouldn't that be DOS then? Graphics in ATM is pointless, so it should work without any GUI. Cheers, Jan

Congrats on my behalf too! Jan

If You log into your own workstation (not to the server) You need to use exactly the same user/pass for the shares in server to function properly. Otherwise You will be asked for a password (or even user/pass, if You use a username that doesn't exist on the server) the first time in each session...

Are You sure? Or was the smiley lost during submitting? I do find that quite odd, I would have bet on some sort of stripped version of Unix. Cheers, Jan

And it has CPUID and TDP of Coppermine Celeron II... Probably just an inside joke, especially since there is no SSpec for the PIV EE in the Processor Spec Finder. Cheers, Jan

Pentium-M-II. If they ever get to desktop. Cheers, Jan
