hmm.. just tried the old fashioned way and telnetted to xcensus.... definately apears my account is still active. Let me know though, thanks.

hmm.. I tried modifying my hosts file and pointing my domain to my old host expecting to see an error message and I couldnt make things fail. To me it apears as tough my domain is still active with xcensus... (as it should be until July 1st... unless they decide to continue with my current plan...

Storm, my hosting account recently expired and xcensus refused to continue my current plan, instead directing me to one of their currently offered plans. I've found a host that offers more features at less cost so have moved. I've updated my DNS and the changes should have taken affect near the...

I would estimate you'd need atleast a 400 watt PSU with 10 two platter hard drives in the system. There's always Antec's true power which should have adjustable fans... enermax has similar units. I'm not up to date on the 400+ watt PSUs, just stick with a brand name or check out recomendations...

i really liked this piece. I was under the impression that iTunes had come up with a workable DRM strategy, but I guess I was mistaken. At the moment I am boycotting DRM with regards to music. I no longer purchase music from BMG because of their anti-copying DRM protection that they have...

maybe real life is affected by cache as much as the tests... hard to tell.

just manually set it to 11Mbps. Sometimes the NIC will autonegotiate a slower speed and won't ramp back up if the signal improves.

hey, if any of you steal my name I'll be upset. I have this name for a reason.

i believe the last 4 motherboards I've purchased support booting from USB devices... never tried though. I would be very surprised that an athlon64 board would not support the option to boot from USB floppy/zip (which intern allows booting from usb pen drives)

next time, use IP addresses to connect to another computer, that way you dont have to worry about workgroup names or not being able to "see" one another in network neighborhood. ex: in explorer, type int he address: \\192.168.0.2

i saw 3.. er 4 people when I viewed last night... 1 was pretty much glued to the screen in the background, and then it looked like a couple guys were together, one only showed up as i was leaving. Then there was the guy infront of the camera with wavy hair. He looked like he might be assisting...

http://fastmail.fm excelent excelent webmail, also you can access it via IMAP so nearly all email clients will work with your account as well. I've had my account for 2 years or more now and haven't had a single junk mail.

:scratch:

who's that infront of the camera?

forgot to mention there is an athlonXP version of the nforce2 Ultra400 that will have Gbit integrated... should be more mature...

well in counter strike (dont remember if it was d3d or openGL) the TNT 1 was much smoother.. maybe minimum frame rate is more important than average frame rate. This was just a year or so ago.. using winME and newest matrox/nvidia drivers at the time

not yet.. the nforce3 250gb has integrated NIC into the southbridge and I believe Nvidia now uses a 1GB/sec link between NB aznd SB... but the chipset itself is not nearly as mature as an intel offering. Sis's next generation SB will integrate PCI-E as well as GBit NIC and will surely be...

at no point did I say max... it is a g400 dual head.

Both of those motherboards use CSA. CSA is an interesting option if you want Gbit plus have other things on the PCI bus(for example a RAID array). Even if your hard drives are not on the PCI bus, intel uses the inferior Intel hub architecture which tops out at 266MB/sec for all southbridge...

My experience with a pIII and g400 was a 3dmark score of 911.... pretty sad. The card is barely capable of an older game like halflife. With a TNT 1 beating its pants in 3D.

For my parents I built a coyote firewall.. it is basically like smoothwall, but stripped down to run from a floppy instead of requiring a hard drive... Offers a GUI installer that can run from windows for setting up static, DHCP, PPP, or PPPoE setups. Supports QoS, SPI, etc. Web admin as well...

hahahah. Are you defending the software? if you want to use the disk in another system or recover data from a floppy/CD or another OS you might be up a creek. Why add an unnecessary layer of complexity and incompatibility?

A linkys/dlink/netgear router will pay for itself because you'll spend more on electricity and air conditioning to counter act the heat in a year on your smoothwall box compared to the purpose built gateway.

why not a shuttle?

One thing I never do is use the drive manufacturer's tools! They are notorious for installing unnecessary drive overlay software and invalid partition types that only work under certain senerios.

i just use whatever comes with the OS, FDISK for DOS/win9x, Disk manager for winNT, GNU fdisk for linux.. possibly cfdisk for more user friendly control.

i love my nEC DVD burner.. the 2510 natively supports dual layer and is really affordable. I would go for it.

the viralent spread of the "virus of the week"...e very week... is clear evidence that people are relying on their antivirus to catch these viruses instead of proper safe surfing techniques and common sense.

sorry, i mistook that last slot for something else... the notch looks reversed and i figured it wasnt a PCI slot. You are really missing the obivous on the NIC. It's a realtek PCI NIC. you'd be lucky to break 20MB/sec average transfer rate on it... You can buy NICs with the same chip on them...

4 pci slots is kind of a bummer for me. I usually prefer 5 or 6 slots if I can get em. But with all the onboard devices these days that may not be a problem for you. I agree that chipset integrated G-bit NIC is a very compelling feature that this board is missing. However I don't know if the...

i find the java based tests at http://www.dslreports.com to be more acurate and more informative (click on tests+tools on the left).

yeah, NT 4 had some terrible terrible faults. like having to have your NT CD(or original installation files) to change simple settings like your IP address.... and having to reinstall your service pack whenever it required your CD for system changes... and the lack of plug and play. win2k...

stability I've found is more a matter of what programs you run ontop of your OS. I've found both linux and NT to be extremely stable, win9x is also usually pretty stable if you dont install too many programs and don't run buggy software ontop of the OS. Even still it'll ocasionally have a...

santilli, why not just go DVI, then you card has nothing to do with clarity. Only your monitor.... which is the way it should be.

i dont think it's all that bad.. 256MB has been standard for atleast a year for most mid-range systems. I havent built a new computer with less than 512MB for about 2 years now I think... my FC2 server has been getting my hand me downs and only has a single stick of 256MB. It runs with about...

yeah, this use of IE is terrible. Mozilla is so much a better browser, it's hard to believe it isnt more popular. Sometimes I show people moz and they just dont get it... they dont even get why there would be anything other than IE....

system file checker? I wouldnt think this would be a network issue, bit more like a file system driver problem... I really have no idea http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=134560 seem similar?

i've been usign core2 for about a month now I think... runs pretty welll... I like dovecot.... I dislike how they removed kpackage...

3Mbit/384Kbit cable for $44/month bundled with cable TV for a total of ~$74/month for both.

I'm pretty sure there is a CPU usage difference with and without the ati codec (sticking with the MMC for simplicity), which would indicate one way is fully software and the other is hardware assisted. At what point did DVD decoding get put into directX? because Ati cards have been claiming 2d...

maybe it's the classic view or the classic logon I have configured? I do have the winXP start menu.

The browser still has control.

I've had absurd problems with ATi drivers, sometimes requiring removal and/or editing of .inf files and the registry to fix (direct X 6 stopped working in detonators a few months back) Nvidia drivers work great, their nview software is terrible... On the up side, i purchased an FX5600 for $50...

To get hardware support with ATi cards, you need the ATI DVD decoding codec... which is only available with retail ATi branded video cards and may not offer as good of quality as a fully software decoder from winDVD or power DVD. You may also ahve to use the ATi App to get the benefits from...

win-E, brings up explorer for me.. of which I have an icon for in my quick launch... dunno if there is an easy shortcut for this one. ctrl-F or f3 for find instead of win-F.. depends on where you are. to lock the computer hit ctrl-alt-del and then enter (winXP pro)

it works fine for me in moz... i would think it should work the same in the latest firefox...

I have an NEC2500 and it's an excelllent drive. Fast, quiet, great compatibility. Bit setting firmware is available, but the feature is really only needed if you want to burn +r disks as -r or -rom and vise versa for compatibility with devices that only accept one type of media. It's something...

err.. uhh.. mime type you can open windows media player and open the url fine.
