minor flaw

oh, btw, what slowdown? did i miss it? why didn't you invite me?

wow, that's the best laugh I've had in days jtr...

lol, are you double posters are impatient

do you feel that the places you ordered from and products manufacturer's did a good job with customer service? I would personally be upset over $60 on a new rig... that's probably about 10% of the cost of a complete new box. All because of a poorly made fan... I was disapointed with mwave.. I...

That was a single 700MB file I copied... smaller files would surely be slower.

oh, btw, Mark... I'm assuming that's NT backup because I usually get atleast 6MB using onboard NICs... not pegging the CPU when doing SMB transfers... I am assuming your CPU us high because NTBackup is performing some type of compression. While running disk defrag at the moment I got 5MB/sec...

wow, that intel really shines... low CPU usage and higher transfer rates... i wonder if that was the server or the workstation version in those graphs.

or go with www.xcensus.com and get a 100MB hosting package for only a few dollars a month (beats paying for additional internet charges where you're at).

assuming you need more than a 100MB of FTP space or something

i don't know what you mean? cost? send me $25 and I'll send you a 486 with 32Mb of ram that you can use to run your server, sound good? I'll even setup linux on it.. all you need to do is provide the internet connection and the HDD to put the FTP server on.

why not use FTP on a dedicated central server?

yes, this is the famed knoppix that Coug has pushed so hard. so i didn't even have to install linux to get this working... just pop a CD in the drive.. turn on the computer, mount the HDD as read/write(mount /dev/hda1) and navigate to my adobe/ms word/whatever installation directory and run the...

why would you ever make it a pop interface? an IMAP would be so much more appropriate. personally, i use fastmail.fm less junk (none) and free IMAP access.

most cars old enought to not have an onb oard computer are probably pretty unreliable these days.

i just wanted to add that I went to work and when i got there this morning I ahd to take a dump. rather than go, I figured I'd hold it till lunch and go at home... and that was the end of it.. i didnt have to go during lunch.. and nearly 12 hours later I still don't have to go.. what's up with...

what's the total damage?

why am I using Windows again? Full size pics available here. *I thought throwing in winfile would be a nice touch.

DIVX is a video codec, it compreses video.. it is not a file format. It is a video stream format... and even then it is only 1 version of the mpg4 video stream format. You can use DIVX in the AVI format, which will certainly accept AC3 sound or other multi track high quality audio to be...

i bet he'd love mouse gestures

hehhe... he is the geek of the group for sure.

my guess is that the drivers are having an effect globally on all I/O adapters.....

Hey man, lego my MEGO!

very true, in both server and desktop roles. the 1st thing that comes to mind is someone with alot of junk installed... no matter how many I/O's their disk can provide it will still be sluggish compared to a clean system. Using faster drives will only help reduce the symptoms of the junk.

heh, that's the 1st thing I thought of.

na, I just wish the web as a whole would be faster.... I think I need fiber straight from SF to my computer... right through people's homes, ok? For the most part, SF is plenty fast for my needs. Lately I haven't had a problem just a momentary slowdown and the next time I get on things are...

i found the same thing as CityK.. a regular fixed positoin razor does better under the nose and on the chin.. and for evening my side burns.

twould be nice to have the web server ging through a proxy or something to speed up the pulling of pages...

i usually don't burn things that I don't need later.. but sometimes I make mistakes on a boot CD and have to create a new one... or somtiems I make mistakes on a final compilation of something... and over time, i find I have no need for some discs... that is one of the reason I bought 2 USB...

just a month or so now and we'll have a final.

lol e_dawg.

Isn't that the same exuse you used for flushing the toilet? I have a mach3, but the blades are too expensive. I just use my old TrakII and change the blades when they start to get dull or gunky, whichever comes 1st.

That's a good point. I wonder if the high pressure design makes it any more effective of if it's possible to make an equally effective cooler using a low pressure design while being quieter.

my tests are always very close, within a few percent on the seek and STR. I have never ran the specific aplication performance WinBench tests.

depends completely on the chipset and drivers. It seems like VIA firewire sucks.. intel is decent, adaptec is the best. what chipset does your firewire use?

i use RW for exactly the same reasons... I have been trying to use them for monthly backups recently.. but haven't had a chance to get good media.

was just looking for a v.90 modem that works with my D-LINK router... it has a serial input and is suposed to support analog modems (although I've never tried) I was expecting $20 or less after shipping.

I was thinking the same thing while writing my post... current response times are quickly passing 60Hz. (isn't 16ms = 62Hz?)

god yes. As soon as you put a fan on a HSF the noise usually doubles(if not more)... atleast if I was quantifying things in terms of irritation to my senses...

HSF went out today on my lunchbreak.

jtr, not everyone has the skills that you posess. There are lots of people that seem to have a hard time at the current 55-70 limits. Not to mention large trucks(semis and trailers) that aren't capable of fast accelleration or even fast speeds at some times. Personally, i think it's the people...

There's also the point about refresh rate.. running in analog mode you'll notice that running most LCDs at 70Hz is blurry, while running at 60Hz sharpens things up alot. This only applies to analog of course.

thanks. I had tried a couple md5 programs for windows but couldn't find any that I liked.

The last CD-RW's I bought were ultra speed(16-24x) verbatims.. unfortunately they don't work on any of my high speed(10x) drives... so I can only use them on 1 of my burners... that was a dissapointment. But thanks for showing me these, I was intersted in buying some high speed RW's for backups...

I don't supose you're interested in any VGA monitors? I have 3 or 4 I could easily give up

btw, I already threw out all my old ISA I/O cards and video cards... (may still be in the trash) Oh, I still have alot of ISA NICS, interested?

That reminds me of my return trip last time when backpacking... had to stop and pee every half mile on a 6-8 mile stretch. was a real pain in the butt.. Of course I'd rather have to pee than get altitude sickness or simply dehydrated.

no, probably not. I have a Deer 300watt PSU and an enlight 250watt PSU(that won't turn off). I also have an ISA sound card(motzart) and proprietary CD-ROM that goes with it... hmm.. also have an ISA SB16 SCSI card with a 2x SCSI CD-ROM. any of that sound appealing? yoy interested in any...

package will be out tomorrow I'll see if I can mail it before 8:00 AM
