what OS are you installing ? winNT/2k/XP? or win9x? If NT based, put the S-ATA driver on floppy, boot using the OS CD, press F6 to load the driver and then format using the OS setup. If your drives are larger than 120GB you may need to slipstream XP SP1 or 2K sp4 into your OS install in order...

The reason it's non-linear is because you are using different cores, different amounts of L2 cache, and different FSB speeds. The rating is only suposed to show you how the AthlonXP performs compared to the Athlon Thunderbird core. I agree tht current ratings of AthlonXPs make them seem like...

As already stated, check out auctions on similar items. See what formats look good and which dont.. which seem to get high bids and which don't.. try to mimic the good ones. For comics you are of course going to need a description of the episode(s), pictures of the condition of the comics, and...

psst... Tea... There is an E in it...

err.. 9 and 3 on the keypad... 6 and 4 are FF and RW.. 5 is stop.. it's all on the remote section of the config tool.

There was an explanation on the site about the weather module, aparently the free website that offered wether info has gone kaput or is temp down... not a fault of the program. The pictures are only slow because there is a default 5 second transition effect between pics, etc. This is a...

Those look interesting, but probably not worth the price to me. Just out of cureosity, how did you like the Princeton Tec compared to the mag-lite? I used princeton Tec flashlights for hicking/fishing/backpacking and camping years before I saw them sold in retail outlets. They simply blow...

I like my phone to be primarily a phone... some people around here don't feel the same way. If (this is important above all else) it works well as a phone, then I'll take the add-ons. In the US, last time I checked, there were many options for phones.. however half of them were better for...

Tea, are you pronouncing it Ray-Don (as in the gaz)? I one knew a guy named Malaki (mal-uh-kigh) who pronounced it that way... although I always pronounced it Ray-Dee-On. And then there's the Line-uhx vs lin-uhx and Bye-Ohs vs Bye-Ahs... computer names seem to be inconsistantly pronounced...

I think I'm somewhat in the Merc camp.. I hate useless features, super bright glowing/flashing buttons... games, color displays, etc.. I want my phone to be a phone and to be optimized for that sole use(battery life, reception). I don't have a cell phone at the moment, but everyday I get...

I'll admit I read this article and haven't ahd any time to do anything with it yet. But it was interesting and well written. I agree w/ jo, I'd like to see more informative articles from someone with your experience. Ater all, isn't that what these forums are about?

heh, I had completely forgot about the AMD chipsets... But I've heard the same thing (run better with the chipset drivers)

I had a compact fourecent go abd on me the other day... started working intermittantly and then it started making a high pitch sound so I just tossed it... I haven't used the thing more than maybe 4 months I don't think... too bad I didn't save the reciept or box or anything or I would have...

what errors?

I wonder what Tannin's take is on things.. It looks as though you took a bite of something that didn't agree with you and you might not be thinking clearly yet.

I don't think it requires WMP9 (doesn't mention it in the requirements) I think it will use your default media player for your system(or possibly just the version of WMP you ahve installed).. in the forums their was mention of using winamp and also using the ATI media player or DVD player. If...

i should have mentioned that the myHTPC app includes plugins that allow it to work directly with the ATI MMC... works OK with the TV wonder 7.9 MMC, but was designed to work best with MMC 8.5 and a radeon class card.

I found this while looking around for versions of the ATI MMC... got distracted I guess... anyway, this application acts as a launch pad for any HTPC runing win98 and up. Built in support for My pictures, music, and movies... also shows time/date/local whether... Has support for different...

A good tip for getting high bids on ebay is to provide clickable (thumbnail -> full size) images, I like to include several images of the item I'm selling. In the item description be sure to state very clearly 1) What you are selling 2) It's features 3) What differentiates it from other similar...

Just wondering your guys' opinions on when chipset drivers (ex VIA 4-in-1's) are needed and when they are not. For example, Last time I installed win2k I felt it necessary to install the VIA 4-in-1 drivers, however I would not install them on a winXP box because they are not needed and actually...

Prof, I was able to understand it, but I did have to read the 1st part (Your search - l33t ha}{0r- did not match any documents. ) a couple times... the rest comes easy, just blur your eyes and don't concentrate too hard and it comes right to you.

I don't understand the name change to AthlonFX... personally, i think they should just call it an AthlonXP and replace the T-breds with the new Barton cores exaclty the way they replaced palominos with the T-breds. I guess AMD feels they need some more distinction between the 2 products.

http://anime-jennie.com/~blake/hax0r-google.gif Even I have trouble decoding this stuff...

BX should... but if the motherboard maker hasn't continued support for the board through regular BIOS updates then you may be stuck at ~62GB.. maybe not. At worst you'll have to go out and buy an add-in IDE controller like a SIIG or Promise Ultra series to get it to work.

heh, I thought it was pretty funny. (I got it instantly)... They don't have the death penalty in Britain do they?

Aren't your guy's win98 CD's bootable?

I guess if it matters, I usually put a flat fee on shipping. say $5 for small things $8 or more for larger... USPS Priority (~ $4 for things less than 2lbs, 2 day, no insurance) is usually good if things are small... FedEx ground is usually better for me though.. $4 minimum, but comes with...

There are alot of tools to fight spam on the server-side now.. but I think some ISPs are reluctant to enable it for fear that some customers might complain...

I'm glad you like Moz mail. Thunderbird seems too beta for me, but I think i'll use it instead of moz mail for now.

have you tried removing/ disabling hardware... onboard sound, NIC, USB and anything in a PCI slot come to mind...

That's the reason i gave you webattack.. has a reviewer's rating and has a popularity rating... it also gives a description and screenshots of each app... It's a great source for share/trial/freeware.

you could hit up www.webattack.com/freeware

I used to use the opposite flag (/mailonly) so that OE would load quicker since I never used its newsgroup functions

Thanks for that tidbit of info I figured that calibration would be all I needed, to test this out I plugged the gamepad into a winME computer... using the stock windows drivers and calibrating the controller did make it better, but it still was not perfect, I guess the controllers are just...

I removed all phantom devices etc from device manager and apon plugging in the game pad it is still recognized as the uncalibratable gemini vibration gamepad... I thought I had this problem licked because I purchased a new controller and it seemed to be doing better than the last, but after...

ah, you're a life saver... I mangled my extra 5.25" blank trying to make it a converter so I could stick a 3.5" floppy drive in a 5.25" slot... it looked and worked ok.. but now it has a big hole in it and I no longer have that odd floppy that wouldn't fit right in a normal 3.5" slot... I'll...

Anybody have any extra slot blanks for the front 5.25" slots for Enlight cases? I need 1-2 blanks. Specifically I have an Enlight 7237 mid tower, but I think any Enlight blank will work. thanks, -Blake

yeah, I sold a slotA 750 (Athlon model 2) w/ heatsink and no fan for ~$45 US on ebay, I was surprised how well it sold. I think OEM 1700+ AthlonXPs were going for ~$50-60 at the time.

Coug, what's the diff between a Saphire 9000 and a 9100? I assume that they are prtty much indistinguishable in performance... does the 9100 run cooler or offer any additional features over the 9000? I want a card with TV/DVI/VGA...

why? ... and why?

Don't both the opteron and the Athlon 64 have on Die memory controllers, while every other x86 chip has used a memory controller integrated into the mobo? I'm expecting this feature alone to provide more performance potential than anything else on the market.

I noticed your tests show CAS 2 as the fastest, but my 845 shuttle suports 1.5 CAS... does the 875 not support CAS 1.5?

what else can it do? it's only a 32bit CPU...

well I'm glad it's an intel chipset... Nforce seems to run best in sync than out of sync... but the FSB of the northwood is QDR and thus the closest thing to sync might be DDR400 (assuming the proper buffers)...which i don't think is supported. I tend to think that the 845 would perform...

what about making them gifs? full size (resizing adds blurryness which hurts gif compression) gif screenshots are usually quite a bit smaller than jpg for me... 64 colors is usually more than enough...

I'm wondering what would be faster for the SS51G Currently using a Celeron Northwood 2.0GHz CPU and Kingston value RAM PC2700... should I a) run at 100MHz (sync) with ultra fast timings b) run at 133MHz (pc2100) with fast timings c) run at 166MHz (PC2700) with normal timings I currently...

what do you think of this NB heatsink? http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/minochcokit.html

btw, how was setting up Apache 2.0.46 on win32?

I don't understand why he can't view it from the inside... His site should be resolved to his external IP and his browser should send a request to that IP on port 80, the router should forward that to the server and the server should send it back the way it came... I can do it fine on my...

I don't understand exactly why DVDs cost more than VHS tapes at retail... same thing with CD vs audio cassette tapes...surely a DVD/CD must cost less to produce since I can buy blanks for something like an order of magnitude less than I can buy tape blanks... Not only that, but they are smaller...
