i was just thinking about that the other day

I would email you some charma, but I think that's a little like faxing you paper....

I believe the coast slot was more beneficial to OEMs, as they saved a few dollars on each mobo by not including an L2 cache. If someone was smart enough to know what L2 cache was and that it was "better than not having any" the OEM could charge 5x the market rate for the upgrade that was...

Then maybe it should just be titled "Universal Determinant Condition Law of Upgrades"

hmm.. doesn't look like those front holes go anywhere... might have to do some drilling in order to help keep your drives cool.

ah, i hadent's heard of zmodem since DOS/win3.1 I remember seeing it in a few terminal applications for use with modems. I just assumed it was a modem compression thing only.

wow, their heads seem much larger than I had expected.

google serach for this: firedaemon folding There will be a guide that will easily show you how to setup the folding@home client to start as a service. Use the console only client and you'll never see a hint of it running unless you look in the task manager. You could also do this via the...

How did she notice? what OS, what client? Personally, I have not had a single problem running the console version as a service. I have, however, had openGL/vid card problems running the graphical client on several computers.

yes, being forced to use modem concatination and zmodem to download files is... it's bad. Merc, if it's only your apartment keeping you from getting broadband, then why don't you move? You're already paying more $$ than most people pay for a broadband connection.. possibly you could even save...

hehe

that's disgusting

i tried d/ling it in IE and moz.. the file size surely wasn't 7MB

omg.. i tried downloading the movie, but it is only ~3.5MB long and stops right as the plane bumps the cherokee!!! what happens next? oh, the horror!

So this is like a dynamic auto speed negociation between two interfaces?

I think VIA outsources it's manufacturing to a big name (maybe MSI).. however, they have sold some mobos under their name. I wouldn't doubt if AMD has done exactly the same. Don't think I've ever seen an ALI or a SiS made mobo. Don't remember if UMC ever made mobos under their name or not.

i'd like a copy of bf1942, lemme know how much you're selling it for.

That is kind of disturbing. The owner that authenticates you might some day go out of business or the owner of the content might one day sell it, either of which coule leave people with a worthless plastic disc. I hate the idea of erroring on the side of the recording industry.

You can actually train a cat to like to be in water... you just have to get them used to it when they're young. A friend of mine has a cat who enjoys baths.

Prof. your ISP probably doesn't want you to be hosting servers on their service... if you want to host a proper FTP server then get a proper ISP(complaining in your sitation is like complaining that you can't get to 140mph in your car even though the speedometer goes that high). I'm positive...

wow, cool! I haven't been folding as much now since summer is on and temps are getting higher, so neither my 2GHz celery or my athlonXP has been folding.. and my duron 1.3 broke (chipped the CPU trying to remove a stubborn HSF clip). So now all I've got is my pentium III. Hopefully I'll get an...

I used to do some business for an ISP that had two types of cable modem services. On one service, they offered static IPs and a decent up/down rate for the standard $40-$60/month. On the other service they offered a NATed LAN IP that was DHCP. This service was offered cheaper and fulfilled most...

i don't see a problem with the current vid card. The only reason to get a bettwer one would be if doing 3D type work. For a budget computer, sure go ahead and get onboard NIC and sound. I have no problems with either when it comes to "office" type work. I'd simply get a 1700+, the barton core...

My point is that acoustics was not a major concern back then. There were alot more thingss to worry about than how clickety your drive was when runing xx aplication.

maybe I don't think they're clacky because i've used computers 10+ years ago... Now those drives where whiners and clackety... ...especially when I hook them up now.

thank our handyman, he found it.

hehe, it guessed chapstick on the 1st try... But it had trouble when my object was my girlfriend... probably all those maybe, partly, and rarely answers. I like how it's last guess was a sumo wrestler.. hahaha...

my object was a radish, it guessed a beet.. then a turnup... then a beetroot, then it guessed correctly. Pretty good. I didn't know a couple of the answers, so maybe it was thrown off. I take it that the cars are listed as "similar items" because of the answers people give (red, smooth...)

The IBM drives supposedly need the correct controllers and drivers to use TCQ, and SR uses neither(to my knowledge). sATA should work well considering Seagate is kicking things off right for budget sATA drives.

I'm very impressed with the DM+9 i just got (80GB model) Quiet, cool, works very well in the shuttle SS51G i built. Seeks are clearly audible, but not obtrusive to me...

Ghost 2002= 7.0 .. Ghost2003 = 7.5 On the CD it says ghost 2002, when I run the software it says 7.0 Enterprise Edition registered to Soyo.. OEM user... On the CD, there was Norton this and that, and then a folder with just ghost.exe in it, i downloaded the multicast server and ghost...

consoles are king of user friendly UI, aren't they?

But tagged command quing should make up for this (hopefully)

i currently have 2MBit down 384K up for $45/month with my cableTV service(which is in the $20-30 range) (Time warner/roadrunner) I'll be moving out soon and may not be able to afford cable internet.. personally, I'd like to see a severely bandwidth capped version of cable/DSL for cheap... like...

Yes, their prices were similar to what adobe prodicts sell for now. Lucily you can get a copy of ghost for ~$30 when you buy it in the OEM System Works Pro package. I even got the enterprise version of the newest version of ghost with my last motherboard. (ghost 2002, Soyo Dragon+) whether...

I would love an audio book. I spend so much time in the car and it's almost all wasted. It would be great to burn books to CD.

Just turn on AAM if the seeks bother you. Even the ATA IV is audible seeking with AAM off.

The sATA version of the 7200.7 is supposed to be the 1st to take advantage of tagged command queuing(when used with the right controller). Perhaps this is one reason for its good performance.

I don't run my fans at 7v. I don't trust things that way. I would rather run a resistor on the + line, but i don't have any at the moment that can meet the wattage requirement of that fan. If it were a 3pin fan I would just use a fanmate.

I was dissapointed with my Antec 3700AMB. It's pretty loud.. the 120mm fan at the rear is too slow in 5v mode and too noisy in 12v mode.. I would have prefered an 80-92mm fan instead. Also, my case was damaged in several places(all fixable with some glue) but it shows poor CQ on Antec's part...

hahah.. has to have dual fan PSU? lol, I've ran many athlons without a dual fan PSU. Besides, it seems odd to disqualify a case because of the PSU when you can probably get the case without a PSU or upgrade later. Personally, I think Enlights are built well. Not as heavy as Antec, but I could...

Heh, found this old readme of ghost 1.x I thought it was funny reading.. dongles.. insane prices... bah! The tyrany and bullshit has gone on too long! glad prices are quite a bit cheaper now.

As soon as Neo stopped the Sentinal I figured that Zion was actually another Matrix.. a matrix inside of the matrix... a way to give those non-conformist types a way to feel that they were non-conforming.

How about putting all this on a winPE disk? That takes up 145MB, but it allows basically anything you can do in DOS, but with the Networking support(incl. drivers) and NTFS support of winXP. You can do ghost (ghost 7.5 has a winPE version as a free upgrade)... You can also use some web...

Isn't that interesting considering there hasn't really been any real advancement in IDE seek time for atleast 10 years. I seem to recall several pre 4000rpm IDE drives with seeks in the 9-10ms range(or so claimed).. access times would be terrible though because of the rotational latency.

guess it wasn't such a quick tip afterall... I don't think it's possible through conventional means... I tried a few reg hacks, but couldn't get it going... just went back to XP because of that and the fact that 2k3 didnt ahve drivers for my scanner (HP 4100C)

How do I get the XP style login in win2k3 Enterprise?

the focus of the drive is different than that of the ATA IV and V. I forgot to even check if they were measuring the 2MB or 8MB cache 7200.7. Normally they'd use the highest capacity highest cache drive for any given model.

last time I looked you were the only one, maybe I should recheck prices.
