just wanted to say the forums are sluggish again... i've been seeing 1 minute page loads.. although ~20-30 seconds has been the average for the last 1/2 hour mabye...

If I made each card's gateway point to the other card then wouldn't they both go down if only 1 card failed? Even if it didn't, i don't see how 1) this would prevent automatic failover and 2) would be any better then leaving one of the NICs basically unused for the server and setting it up in...

hmm.. didnt have any effect on CPU usage.. all it managed to do was lower the burst transfer rate to ~56MB/sec

good call buck, i simply downloaded a new version of the Data lifeguard tools and it worked.. didn't even need to move the drive.

true... but this will not be for work... actually.. i will probably be playing on the server at 3:00am... ;-) I hope to have remote webmin access or something on the server so it shouldn't be too bad... should be able to fix things from home. In a worse case senerio it can wait till morning...

I found out that solaris offers something called alternate pathing, but this is not an automtic fix... ie, the admin must enter in a command to have 1 NIC take over for the other... so i don't see the point of using it when I could just leave 1 NIC's IP address field blank and fill it in with...

didnt work for me

i havent really noticed a slowdown... just a few isolated sites.. noticed I couldn't get to a canadian site today (but i've nver visited it before, i was just following a link on ebay)

i guess I have enough computers that it's worth it to me if my CPU's last "past their prime", that way I can upgrade the lower models with my hand me downs.

What about migration effects?... these CPUs are going to get fried one way or another if you run them like this.

And I know 60mm fans don't have to be noisey... I'm not even used to the crazy ones they put on HSFs as you suggest. For the same volume of airflow an 80mm fan will be quieter, and more pleasant sounding. This si what I'm saying.

sorry, i meant the CPU... check the pictures... it covers half of the HSF they show.

http://www.yeongyang.com/products/yya105.htm It's just a standard mini/micro-atx tower... only not wide enough to fit a CD-ROM drive sideways. Consequently you need noisey 60mm fans instead of the standard 80mm ones... Another problem is that the CD drive covers the PSU.. meaning you'll...

I was wondering if anybody had suggestions on the best way to implement dual NICs for redundancy purposes. I am planning on putting together a Linux server for my counter strike clan. Since I have a lot of 10baseT NICs I was going to put 2 of em in this server for redundancy. I have my choice...

a few more platters means this thing falls out of my price range... at 36Gb it's plenty for my OS/App drive... which is right where I want it.

Hey guys, just wanted to say that Ewen is alive and doing well. He's working hard at school and getting ready to graduate in May. Says he might drop by when he gets a chance. -blake

i would assume that Vcc_coreMax is the maximum that a motherboard can run the CPU and be AMD aproved... This, i would guess, is based on CPU life and possibly to ensure that the CPU conforms to the spec'd thermal output figures.

yes, before i buy another drive i will make sure i listen to a sample... This is why the 800JB now lives in a box in the closet (when I say box, I mean a cardboard thing with 6 sides and no CPU) and my 180GXP is being happily used in my main PC.

I'm intersted. I'll not be getting it "just for the hell of it". But if I need a new boot drive, it's at the top of my list.

omg, that was a royal pain in the butt.... that's my big grudge against NT4... if you dont reapply the service pack after any and every system change that involved a file copy then you often get wierd errors that don't correspond to the real problem at all... reinstalling the service pack of...

lol

uh oh... breaking the law... breaking the law...

lol, is that a floppy connector? I'm willing to pay $15 total for it...

Too bad i sold my slot A, otherwise i'd pick it up from you.

If you want to know my opinion it's not that big an issue. most the times the forums act fine and well tempered... and I'm a patient person. If the forums are being reeeallly slow then I'll just come back in an hour and it is usually fine. If the site were down, then that'd be a different...

like cars? My CPU doesn't idle anymore anyway... personally, I think 1.8 is the fastest I'd even test with... 1.7-1.75 is the point where I'd stop. Doesnt the "b" run at 1.60v by default? which models ran at 1.65v?

I've increased folding dramatically... I've now got 2 athlonXP's, 2 Pentium III's, a duron 1.3 and a Celerwood 2.0gHz. Most these machines are idle the majority of the time.

Last semester I planned on creating a help type site with howto guides on specific subjects.. adding to the collection one by one... so far I only ahve 3 subjects, but atleast I think it's quality work... http://howto.dns2go.com/

FWIW the site has been fine (not screaming like it was the othernoght though) all day for me.... I was at a competition earlier today though...

hehe... i only have 2 sticks of pc2100... 1 stick of pc2700... I would guess my pc100 adds up to 2 sticks, and my pc133 is ~4 sticks(this is spread across 3 computers). I do, however, have several pounds of fast page... of which i have atleast 100MB.

lol, did somebody change the name of this thread from "MS admits XP SP1 sucks" to "MS admits XP SP1 sucks hard" ?

I just logged out fine with IE 6...

i've seen it onsale online... but i dont go to best buy very often...

I installed my new whisperRock III the other day... I was quite surprised at how loud it was... I tried setting the fan to full speed on my main rig and realized that both coolers made the same amount of noise... I didnt think my 75gxp's were loud either, until I hooked one up and was...

lol, didnt you know every bug fix or patch from MS slows things down... it's just the ass backwards way they fix things in their bloat ware... It has been this way, afaik, since winNT4.

does that make any sense? when the CPUs most people have run at 100/133 they have a dip switch that supports 100, 133, and 166.... But when the CPU's most people have start running at 133/166 they make a dip switch to run the board at 100/other??? personally, all things being equal I'd like...

yeah, forums feel good... however, as I posted earlier, the server was responding fine(to me anyway) ... it was just when it had to load content that it got bogged down... recompiling is a start... and hopefully when they recompiled they reinstalled most of the server settings and only included...

This was the UDMA utility stripped out of the datalifeguard tools... i dont know what version the data lifeguard tools have never detected my drive when it is set to slave... even so, tonight, I tried and as usual it failed to even detect the drive when it was slave and my DVD was master... I...

Just out of curiosity I wanted to bench my HDD in UDMA66 mode, but to my surprise, neither WD's or IBM's tool would do the trick to knock the drive down to UDMA mode 4 or 3... not even UDMA mode 2 (although I could do this through cabling) I tried 2 mobos and 3 controllers without success...

Handruin, I thought maybe it was just the 686b southbridge, but I tried my 1200BB with my 8233 southbridge that came with a kt266a board... I get the same results as you... 57-58% CPU utilization. I tried both microsoft's and VIA's drivers with no difference. I confirmed this with a 1GB file...

you're so cruel

ah crap, they passed us!!! Looks like their number 1 folder is doing all the work, he alone has nearly half as many prcoeesors woking as our whole team combined... he must have access to an office full of computers. That's unfortunate...

forums are fast now... :zzz:

Even going to the site http://swordfish.dnsvelocity.com is rather slow considering the ping and the content of the page... However, telnetting to port 80 and typing: "get asdfjk" promptly results in a 404 error... It seems your server is just under too much CPU or disk load... my guess is...

sorry, wrong thread...

However telnetting to port 80 and typing: "get asdasda" promptly returns a 404 error...

Even going to the site http://swordfish.dnsvelocity.com is rather slow considering the ping and the content of the page...

I take that back, it's ass slow now.. pages are taking very long to load.. but it seems to vary( I timed opening the home page... took just under 4 minutes... next link took about 10 seconds.. next too something like 1 minute)... still not getting errors in IE though. Pinging storageforum.net...

hahahaha.. i was wondering what to call that thing.. I have one on an old 4Gb seagate drive... good idea in my opinion. As long as the drive doesn't overheat i love the seashield and sea-bra products

The site's a little slower than it should be(slower than earlier) since I got on about 5-10 minutes ago... but i haven't gotten any errors. Tracing route to storageforum.net [207.99.69.2] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 192.168.0.100 2 9 ms 9 ms 9 ms...
