    I thought it was quite obvious what he was trying to accomplish honold. But if it makes you feel any better I'll tell you that you could put a picture of Young Einstein as your avatar so that we can all know how intellignet you really are. :jokecolor:

    mubs, sorry i didnt hear about your window problem sooner. (i only skim this thread occasionally) I had a similar problem happen to my driver side window on my '93 camry. I rolled the window down and when I went to put it back up the motor would go and the window would remain stationary...

    uhh... strange memory problem... more = slower?

    The 256MB stick is 32x64... The 512MB of crucial is 64x64 The 512MB of Kingston is 32x64 I did most testing in the SB51G with the two crucial sticks(but I also tried the crucial Kingston combo with the same results)... the Kingston/Crucial combo of 768MB works great in my Soyo. When I get...

    Somehow I don't think the "T" regiment is at your disposal. Maybe they can be coaxed into being merceneries if you give them a good cause.

    uhh... strange memory problem... more = slower?

    Fushigi: The SB51G is an intel 845GE based board with support of upto 2GB of DDR 333. Unfortunately, it get's there using only 2 DIMM slots. At the moment I have 2 512MB sticks, and 2 256MB sticks (not including the non-working one I just RMA'ed) unfortunately, 1 of my 256MB sticks is ECC and...

    uhh... strange memory problem... more = slower?

    Hey, I bought some 256MB sticks of Crucial PC2100 to stick into my main PC and my SB51G server(mandrake 9.1)... Unfortunately 1 of the sticks was DOA.. But the other stick tested good with memtest86 on both these systems. So, after debating whether to stick the 1 good stick in the main PC or...

    Why not power peripherals off the PC power supply?

    Line lumps are ok.. but they're only better than wall warts in some situations. ...basically the equivalent of putting wall warts on an extention cord.

    Why not power peripherals off the PC power supply?

    why don't you get a power strip made for transformers? What I did was to use an extention cord with power taps along the length of the cord.. I think it has like 8 outlets on it and since it's 2 prong only it works great for transformers... It's origninal use was for indor christmas...

    Why not power peripherals off the PC power supply?

    Honold, USB and firewire(i think) both provide external power to peripherals. Although they only offer small amounts of power, it is a great improvement and allows for lots of devices to easily conenct to a computer without the need for more AC adapters. The problem stems from the fact that...

    I assume RAM capacity increases more with with need than just with the common pace of everything else. Most people don't need 1GB of RAM.. I think the people here would agree 512MB is generous for most peoples' needs. If there was a requirement for more RAM then we would be seeing it.. this is...

    I just bought 2 256MB PC2100 modules, and was thinking about how long they would serve my needs... In a few years they'll probably be the equivalent of what 32MB PC100 sticks are today.

    well, since you can sell the 2 port and you will have to buy 1 less cable, getting a 4 port isn't all that bad in my opinion.

    wow, that's pretty intersting.. the sound storm requirements seem pretty tough.

    Best movie you've seen

    All three movies (Grave of the Fireflies, Princess Monoke, and Spritied away) were priduced by studio Chibli. All are done in the same style. Although honold, you are correct in saying that Grave of the fireflies was not directed by Miyazaki (Studio chibli is his animation workshhop) himself...

    Best movie you've seen

    It took forever for that movie to come into theatres widespread.. I think I saw it over a year ago... I enjoyed Princess Mononoke as well.

    KVM "Multiplexing"

    Belkin makes some "pro" models that support higher resolution (or frequencies).. can't seem to find the specifics, but it was something about 2048x1536... there most certainly are USB KVMs.. they're actually starting to phase out the ps/2 KVMs in favor of USB. I have yet to see a DVI KVM, but...

    Holy crap does Half Life 2 took good

    The EAX sound is awful in my opinion (SB Live or otherwise) sounds that are supposed to be coming from you sound echo and their positioning is wrong... sounds coming from others are ok.. but I think sounds are best when set to high quality with A3D and EAX turned off.
