nForce2's are fine. Check around and I doubt you'll find many current issues with them. I went with the base driver that came with my $63 FIC AU13 (el cheapo) and have yet to have to update to anything more current. Just to be clear: I'm not advising overclocking the AXP1700. Just run it at...

Well, it's about time. :wink: You'd think these machines would Fold faster... Current farm: 1 of 2 CPUs in each of 5 Dell PowerEdge 2550 servers; 1GHz PIIIs, 2GB RAM, W2K, 10K SCSI RAID5 1 Dell Latitude CSx, PIII 500MHz, 256MB, WXP, 10GB IBM Slug HD 1 IBM P2 333MHz Integrated PC Server inside...

Nforce2 Ultra mobo with integrated audio, LAN, USB but not graphics. Something like this: http://secure.newegg.com/app/specification.asp?item=13-128-194 Or this if you also want firewire: http://secure.newegg.com/app/specification.asp?item=13-128-199 Graphics: Radeon 8500 or better. This...

I have the ADS combo USB2/FW enclosure. It was a little more expensive locally at Microcenter vs. online, but I got it right away and the sales dude even checked their site to ensure large drive support. Works great under USB2 (my PC) and Firewire (my laptop) with a 160GB WD. No driver...

fiplain; I changed to fisubtext. May be a bit too blue for me but I'll give it a shot.

Text links like "StorageForum Forum Index » Feedback", thread titles, etc.

Outlook shows it sent at 11:22PM and received at 11:29. Unless there's a timezone in there that was pretty fast. Orange? Yuck.

rrcccnnn where rr = region (AM, EU, AP) ccc = city (CHI for Chicago, etc.) nnn = 3 digit number - not a part of the IP addr Boring but does give location info easily. There are over 160 servers in AM alone.

I saw it a couple of weeks ago. Pretty funny IMO. While I'm not a Freddy, Jason, or horror movie fan in general (my wife is), I though that for what it is it was entertaining. .. And in typical horror movie fashion it's left open for a sequel. (I have caught a little of Jason X on cable...

This Dell P1130 looks pretty nice @ $279 plus $55ish s/h. It comes with a 1 year warranty. Here's Dell's specs page. While checking the lease-return IBM P260 at Merkor, I found it's been superceded by the P275, which looks really good and even does DVI. But the cheapest I see it at is around...

I thought modern prisons existed purely to get offenders off the street. Lately I haven't heard of any honest rehabilitation attempts. Maybe it's due to prisons being outsourced to for-profit corporations, maybe it's gov't budget cuts, maybe no ones cares. Dunno, but it doesn't seem like...

I was about to playfully suggest the IBM was the now-retired Lou, but I doubt white was his color. :lol: (BTW, from a former IBMer, the IBM rank-n-file were told to not bother LG if they saw him walking by) Anyway, about the safety reading, I could believe it. I have flown Southwest and heard...

A few employers ago I went out to work on a guy's PC. He left the office and I did whatever I was there to do. Since it was late in the day I turned off the PC. He called the next day because the PC wouldn't come on. Long story short he only knew how to power up by using the switch on the...

I don't really want to have to settle for 12x10 res. Even 16x12 is lower than what I want to run but is adequate. I'm a resolution junkie. :lol: I've looked a little this morning and I may have to up to $600 to get what I'm after. A couple of choices I've come up with so far include the...

Well, I was hoping to delay it a little longer but the old generic switchbox I've been using to switch monitors between my PC & my wifes is failing. This leaves me with two choices: 1. Buy a new KVM. A good one this time. 2. Buy a new monitor. The PCs will be split apart eventually anyway so...

I was at IBM's Rochester, Minnesota plant yesterday for an Executive Briefing. To believe their spin, IBM is positioning themselves to have the solutions that customers will want/need vs. the competitors offerings products. IOW it comes down to IBM wanting to have the products and services...

IBM makes the bulk of its profit from services, not hardware, not applications, and not operating systems. Understand that IT services in the form of consulting and operations support can easily be grown by seeding change. The 'big 5' have been doing it for ages. Tell a client what they have...

Actually it was a Chrysler and it used the Viper's V10 engine. http://www.allpar.com/cars/concepts/tomahawk.html

From a time-zone standpoint, should this be a north/south America-based person?

Never seen it before. Is the XP Firewall enabled? Anything in Event Viewer?

I've never had decent luck with refilling cartridges. I tried it on a Canon and later an Epson. The results were less than desireable. So when I got a DJ990 I decided to just stick with the HP cartridges. Expensive, yeah, but I don't go through that many. Have you tried the steps outlined here?

In Japan, the Prius will park itself.

Those $500 specials usually include no OS, 40-80GB IDE drive, 128-256MB RAM, Celery or mid-range P4 CPU, built-in NIC, and some basic graphics card. No monitor (same as my 2650s). The lack of an OS is fine if you want Linux but adding W2K Server will add $799 to the price. The suitability of...

Yup.

I guess printers are more valuable than their data. Sheesh. The cost of the tape drive (or other backup method) should be factored into the cost of the server it'll be used on. Adding $1000 or so to a $5000 server shouldn't be THAT big a deal. ($5000ish is what we pay for a Dell PowerEdge...

Howell's point is a good one. You need a format that's durable enough to last until the next format becomes mainstream and affordable. At which point, to protect your data you should invest in that format and migrate your data to it. Hey, no one ever said this would be cheap, easy, and...

And was their signage pointing out the danger? "Caution: High-voltage security system" or somesuch. Drastic, but I essentially agree. Jail is not a deterrent. I don't know if it ever has been but it certainly hasn't been during my lifetime. Drop the career criminals & violent offenders on an...

More Power5 goodness. - Dynamic power management shuts down portions of the core that aren't in use. - IBM SMT should be more efficient than Intel HT. - Larger L2 cache. - Integrated memory controller. - Maybe a faster FPU. - Database & networking accelerators also on the chip package.

Bruce Perens picks apart SCO's claims.

Occasional. I don't have that much free time for surfing of that nature, nor a lot of need for what they offer. But the site is fast, free, and has plenty of decent to quite good pics (just beware the M* posts).

That would be: (Set 8 ) Full Backup Emoticon madness...

Done.

1. Server: Hardware mirroring with the mirror drive in a caddy. 2. Backup server: Runs normally off a boot drive in a caddy. 3. If Server fails, move drive caddy to b/u server, boot. B/U server becomes main server but lacks disk protection. Once Server is repaired, rebuild the mirror. This...

Edmund's first drive of the 2004 Toyota Prius. Larger, more powerful, and better mileage than before. 55MPG combined city/highway.

Refurbed 18GB 10K 80 pin Seagate SCSI for $15.99: http://www.softwareandstuff.com/hd_st118202lc.html There's a link on that page to an 80-pin to 50-pin adapter for another $9.95. I've no idea about s/h.

Buy.com is an ebates participant so you can get an extra 2% back on any purchases made there. Free shipping on many, not all, items. I buy DVDs and misc. stuff there on occasion. They have the Indy Jones DVD box preorder for something like 40% off w/free shipping. Their checkout system is...

Nissan Murano: 246#-ft with a 3.5L V6 & CVT.

While DC still owns a decent percentage of Mitsu, I think the DC-Mitsu relationship has cooled some since Benz moved in. There is still platform-sharing (Sebring etc. and Galant & Eclipse), but DC seems to be moving stuff from the Benz lineup into the Pentastar house. To my knowledge, Lancer &...

http://www.edmunds.com has lots of good info about cars. Pricing would be US-centric, but there should be a wealth of info in the reviews, test drives, and perhaps most useful the discussion areas. Also check their true cost of ownership calculator. It'll factor in economy, insurance costs...

I just found that Best Buy carries it in-store, also for $9.99.

BTW, there's a certain free voyeur site on the web that has contained plenty of pics from NAP and other people/places all over the world. But since the site contains nudity, I won't post a link. 8)

http://www.infoworld.com/article/03/08/20/HNpower_1.html Nutshell: Take a Power4 and add symmetric multithreading (equivalent to Intel Hyperthreading). .13 micron now; .09 in 2005. Power6 in 2006. :lol:

I don't believe they are; I'll have to look further. A few years ago when IBM was buying SEQUENT, I was at a user conference. The IBMers there were hyped because IBM was said to be just developing their NUMA tech and hoped for a good jump start from teh SEQUENT tech. So I'll say early boxes...

Too bad I wasn't on last night. Wow, that's a lot of posts! As has been said, cut back on your work week. Even 60 hours is quite a lot; I rarely do more than 45 myself. Sure, that means I've quite the backlog of work to get done (and here I am typing this) but my employer expects me to be a...

Well, it is possible to have highly efficient scalability with SMP. Dunno what Intel is doing but in AS/400-land, we had a 2-way machine with a performance rating of 1050 CPWs (IBM variant on TPC-C). Upping to a 4-way brought the perf rating to 2000. About 90% scalability. On a current...

Citibank is a scam without the help of the Chinese spam scum. If you hold a Citibank credit card and cancel it, be warned. They re-opened my closed account and applied a charge to it without any authorization or notice from me. They could not explain how it happened either. Citibank is not...

Oh, so you're thinking add a newer drive to the old box vs. my idea of adding the old drive to a newer box. Quite true, this is another possibility that could work. Todd, what version of DOS is on the old PC? Type VER at the DOS prompt to find out.

No linking here; I do recall the Ponderosa Sun Club resides in that area. :jumpin: My brother went there some years back and came away with many rolls of pictures.

Parallel port CD-R or hard drive with DOS drivers. Maybe something from Backpack? In theory if one of your newer PCs still had an ISA slot the hard drive controller for the Miniscribe should be able to be installed, although I don't know if you could run anything more advanced than DOS on it...
