Oops... I actually meant GA-586TX2 :roll: BTW it's hard NOT to salivate when looking at the new A64 offerings, this upgrade just keeps getting worse! :lol:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by tazwegion: Hmmm... with adequate cooling my MII 366 & GA-586TX2 combo is still AFAIK running smoothly for my niece, least I haven't had any complaints concerning it during the last 2 years...

Kewl! sounds like you had fun :cheers: I must be getting one of those T-shirts for myself ;) Hmmm... Flash Gordon awesome glitzy 80's movie! :thumbright: As far as the Anime stuff... I was glued to G-force, StarBlazers & Robo Tech during my formative (teenage :P) years, I've still got a...

Ahh! that explains the 2Gb maximum RAM support ;) Well considering that factor... drives is the ONLY logical upgrade choice you have, unless you'd want to purchase an A64 3700+ (s754) which has 1Mb of L2... though that could be considered a waste with your proposed future upgrade to s939...

Ummmm... just curious as to which A64 2.2Ghz you meant, the San Diego core with 1Mb of cache, or the Venice core with only 512Kb of L2? Additionally is the 'mainboard' you mention that which you already own OR intend on purchasing? Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 MSI RX480M2 DFI NF4ULTRA-D Abit AV8...

Sorry, I misunderstood the question (I go off on a different tangent sometimes :roll:), I assumed your issues were with speed of access (to data) & security (of data), I'll disagree with Tannin on this one and feel confident that even if one of the primary striped drives failed, due to the...

Clean install, on boot-up (you will need to consult your mainboard manual) configure the included SATA controller driver/software (included in bundle) for the for drives nominating those in RAID mode 0 & 1 accordingly... prior to installing OS, sorry I can't be more specific than that but I use...

How about 4 x 80Gb SATA (quite cheap @ the moment) drives in a RAID 0 + 1 configuration... speed of disk access & mirroring for security of data? some additional RAM would be nice also ;)

The funny thing about Hogan's Heros was Shultz was more aware of the goings on than Commandant Klink ROTFL :lol: We were watching re-runs well into my mid-teens (80's) down here in the land of Oz... in fact re-runs of M.A.S.H. & 'Tour of Duty' are still showing w00t w00t! :salut: Personally...

Well... I answered Onomatopoeic's question RE: AMD Dx4's with a link to a cpu-collection site (of german origin), then Buck made a sarcastic reply as to the origin of the site and queried their collective technical knowledge... to which OT Polizei replied with the paranoid/shifty emoticon ;)...

Oops... I meant Santilli ;)

Hey... it's a SONY :P If they invested their cash in R&D not to mention QA instead of the superfluous jingle-ated, techno-styled advertising campaigns, things may be different ;) Thanks for the 'heads up' CougTek :aok:

Well I like the way the site is arranged... and have no bias against Germans, and have some relatives still living there :P If you prefer something more in your timezone... try the CPU Shack, it's presentation isn't near as good, but it remains quite informative :P As for you OT: Polizei hell...

AMD DX4-100 & DX4-120's ;) Reference material >click here< ;)

That was NOT uncommon with the M571, I personally owned the 3.2a revision... and while the on-board audio/video sucked :P the chipset was quite stable, even @ 83Mhz... as for the K62's not being supported by the M571, that I'm afraid is a fallacy! remember AMD remapped the K62 package to allow...

Fair crack-of-the-whip Tea even my Intel Over Drive (PR66) isn't that slow... but perhaps my Commodore Vic 20 is? :P :lol: No banana's for you this week you wicked simian! :evil:

My point was, recovering lost data is NEVER fun :P As far as that software limit idea/theory... could it be because the fact that it's a 30 day trial version? :eekers:

Never mind Tannin we could debate this till the cows came home, and still nobody would change their position :roll: Like 'em or not... they never experienced FPU errors like *cough* Intel's Pentium *cough* :lol:

Au contrare... statistics can be used quite convincingly for either side of an arguement, simply find an example and manipulate it to fit your own needs, hence Mr Disraeli was spot on ;) World Governments & International companies are the most creative statistic manipulators, to sway popular...

Considering the amount of time you've spent on this project... the thread title implies a little masochism doesn't it? ROTFL :lol: G/L all the same ;)

I guess that WebReference.com is just such another anti-IE/techie site? :roll: Results Summary Internet Explorer (all revisions) 53.39% FireFox (all versions) 21.46% NetScape (all variants) 3.11% SF (all variants) 2.18% Opera (all variants) 1.24% I'll finish this post with a quote from...

Hmmm... different horses, for different courses ;) I actually liked "The Wall" and found the movie intriguing, however my musical taste spans from popular classical to Hard Rock & Heavy Metal :lol: I just can't stand modern R&B though, all about me, me & me... name dropping + bling! bling...

OMG everyone who's anyone knows that it's the RED LED's that go cause a computer to go faster :roll: That sounds like a form of physical abuse dude, I'm so sorry they put you through that ordeal :o I totally agree with you P5-133XL 100% if a low-end (read as skimped) system is built all...

Yeah, you really should stop working with low end components! :P Seriously though... it's not fair to compare a Cyrix MX-200 to a K62, they were Pentium Pro killers yes, but as Tannin's already conceded that Cyrix progressively lost credibility above PR233, let's keep comparisons @ around spec...

That is... the the sock puppet MPD naturally :P

Multiple personality disorders are quite interesting (unless you've got one in which case you'd have to run a ballot with yourself to decide :P) My understanding though is they occur less frequently in cold weather ;)

I'll assume that 'curve ball' was for my benefit... :roll: there's no need to get 'narcy' because others have had better success with a processor which you've been biased against from the outset, I suppose it's like a GMH Vs. Ford thing eh? :lol: FYI Tom's was used as a mere example (for that...

AFAIK the 75Mhz chip was a problem too... and either way it still doesn't negate the fact that Intel had (has?) a poor QA system, and that incident @ the time would've been equivalent to GMH recalling all their vehicles because they forgot to place an electronics module in the distributor :P...

Other than the FIC boards, the GA-586TX worked wonderfully with an MII I once owned, and it is now runing flawlessly in my nieces' PC ;) As for heat... it's Vcore was 2.9v my K62's get nasty @ 2.4+, hence my preference for the use of Skt. A heatsinks & AS5 on everything SS7 :) I adore my...

Yeah... I'm one of them :roll: seriously though, the only reason I got Win 2K pro & XP pro was because despite Abit claiming 98SE support for the Nf7-s, in reality it was easier to get a newer OS ;) All of my distributed computing systems use 98SE (lite) and for humourous reasons the desktop...

No wonder MicroSoft hate all other forms of OS... it makes them feel even MORE inferior LMAO :lol: Seriously you'd have to think that a company with the resources they have... could manage to create a reliable, dependable & secure product :roll:

That's interesting Time 'The Wall' was actually what introduced me to the Pink Floyd phenomenon ;) "Hey teacher!... leave them kids alone..." :boom:

Probably depends on which one you were speaking to, how they were feeling on the day... or if they were experiencing a 'splitting headache' (if you'll excuse the pun :roll:) I really don't have that much experience in the manifestation of multiple sock puppet disorders :P

Good call there Time... thank heavens for the Google - lyrics search tag :) Is Nina Simone the 'folk singer' you refer to Merc :?:

Well I can tell you in summer, when the cows are in the paddock next to the house... Phewwwwww! so the fact that they're a worse source of pollution is hardly surprising... actually this reminds me of an episode of SouthPark where a series of spontaneous combustion was linked to the holding IN...

ROTFL you two are ever the comedic genius today! :P :lol: As for *cough* THG *cough* since I'm pre-occupied with Retro Technology anyway, their old reference material is still of some use to me ;) Hmmm... hopefully I didn't offend the local bar-keeper :roll: :P

No... never (nor your sock puppet) :P I was merely replying to Santilli's query as to why there were so many Australians on this forum @ present, and detailing the logical sequence of events that led me here eventually :eekers: BTW how's that site update going? :lol:

Hmmm... nah never been a resident of the Apple Isle merely a tourist, the name is actually derived from 2 sources... firstly my fascination with the Warner Bros. character Taz, and secondly during the late 80's 27Mhz Citizens Band radio was into yet another boom... 'tazwegion' @ the time was...

Not that I'm an expert with storage devices or anything... but when my brother-in-laws P4 (HP vomitbox) came to live with us for a while, it ended up having similar issues to yours and finally dieing, the problem in this particular case was heat, the HDD was actually mounted vertically (a...

I'm sorry... but no time, is a good time for my dark humour :P As for extraordinarily lamentable life experiences... take a number and get in line buddy, I just choose not to dwell on it looking for the upbeat side in everything ;) I guess, I'm just used to the free-for-all (though moderated)...

Perhaps... but it's one of the best treatments for mouth ulcers I know! ;) and whilst some Americans have compared the taste to fertilizer, they continue to drink root beer and eat peanut butter & jam (jelly) combinations :roll: Don't know about mixing it with honey though Tannin :eekers: >>On...

Geez Merc'... that was nice to give your X a car, ummm... were the brakes okay? :lol: :roll:

From all accounts installing Intel's LGA 775 Socket Processor can be a real pain in the posterior... thankfully MSI recognized this and created a CPU installation tool (G52-M7001X3), though to get one AFAIK you've either got to purchase an MSI LGA 775 platform or know someone who already has ;)...

Thank you for that run down Tea (orange haired simian) Darwin would be proud! :P Seriously... now all that is required is to motivate your (some may say stubborn but overworked) 'house mate' to cut-and-paste your post over to the redhill historical site (edit capitals and details as necessary...

Totally agree with sechs 100% ;) Partially uninstalled video drivers can cause various issues, with the SiS multimedia drivers being the most troublesome IME :( Nuke it! and start from scratch :D

:roll: very slack :P ISA -> PCI -> AGP -> PCI-X :lol:

Well here's my daily transport... And we take this out on weekends... to go fishing :P

Something random eh? well Tea set the scene for some toilet poetry :P "Now here you sit in the stall, kindly use the paper... and NOT the wall, if no paper can be found, simply drag yourself across the ground..." LMAO :lol: :eekers:

I adore that site, and still refer people there... though admittedly I'd also like to see the history/evolution of the Graphics Card covered as well, y'know S3, 3Dfx, nVidia & ATI to name but a few ;) *cough* hint *cough* :roll:

Hmmm... have you considered replacing the bulging caps' yourself? :eekers: I suppose this concept sounds a little daunting? it shouldn't be... I resurrected an EPOX EP-MVP3C2 & Gigabyte GA-5AA with my 'humble' electronics skills :P There is a guide albeit meager over @ the Emergency Room...
