Once upon a time, it used to be a simple and uncontroversial matter to speed-rate CPUs. Sure, you could argue round the edges and quibble over details, but if you picked the best motherboard you could find, or something that was reasonably close to it, and then ran Business Winstone 97, you'd...

Subject says it all, really. Working without command hisatory is such a pain.

Sol is at it again. He wants a quiet power supply. Needs to be 300W or better, good quality, available in Oz. His A-Open 300 works just fine, but it makes too much fan noise. Any suggestions?

Can anyone help me with a couple of drive model numbers from 1999? Western Digital are playing their stupid pretend-we-never-heard-of-it game again. This time, the problem is with their original Expert drives - a model they have always been coy about, ever since they had their lovers tiff with...

Most of you will be familiar with my site at www.redhill.net.au by now. Lord knows, it's been there long enough. Well, I've made a reasonable start on updating the content after three or four years of minimal maintenence, but the time has come to drag the actual HTML code, kicking and...

Been down for three or four hours. It came back up again several hours ago, but you can't post, only read.

It seems that Tom has now removed all references to the name of his one-time writer, Van Smith. Now it's one thing to part company with an author, it's another thing altogether to remove his name from the articles you have on your site that he wrote two years ago, and yet another thing to fake a...

We are, bit by bit, transitioning from our inital ad-hoc organisation to a longer-term, more organised and democratic form. To begin with, moderation of the forums was left in the hands of the Webmaster, and in fact, so far, there has been no need for moderation. We have been lucky insofar as no...

I have edited the Storage Forum FAQ thread to bring it up to date. This thread is simply a copy of the old thread, before my edits, and can be ignored. (Unless you like reading through really boring old administrative stuff, that is.)

Why I will never sell Hewlett-Packard again We have been selling Hewlett-Packard printers for over ten years. Sometimes we sell other brands, but we have always stuck with Hewlett-Pakard and Epson for the vast bulk of our printer requirements. We don't sell a lot of printers - computers are our...

Here's the link. http://www.neighborhoodcable.com.au/pages/services/internet.html Anyone tried these guys out? Any comments on their standard of service, pricing, whatever? I'm getting really tired of dial-up.

Seems to me that there is only one part of my system that slows me down. It causes constant frustration. Sure, it's only a few seconds delay, but every time I have to endure those few seconds I curse and swear, and in an average two hour computing session I have to endure them maybe six or eight...

OK guys, we all hate Microsoft the most, that goes without saying. But just imagine you wake up tommorow and read a headline in your morning paper: Computer Industry Giant to Close Doors! Dreadful product quality and lack of customer service blamed for dramatic collapse. So, lay it on the...

Just comparing the different ways different BBS packages produce their HTML. Test Test Testicles or something like that

Last night The Prof asked why his Google search came up with a #1 listing for a site that started out: "your browser can't display frames, upgrade to a frames-capable browser". Seeing as he's running IE 6.0, why is it so, he asked. Essentially, because the Google search engine (I assume) goes...

I logged on here a while back, perhaps two or three hours ago, and the front page said: Our users have posted a total of 2664 articles We have 64 registered users The newest registered user is GooRu In total there are 60 users online: 0 Registered, 0 Hidden and 60 Guests I plugged in my...

I remember reading a while ago on the old SR forum that there are special steps you need to take to use >512MB RAM with Windows 9.X. Anyone know what they are? System has a Soltek DDR board and runs perfectly with 512MB (either a single Legend 512MB Infineon module, or 2 x 256MB Legend Hynix...

Once upon a time this place was preparing itself to take up the slack when Storage Review closed, so we deliberately laid it out the exact same way so that people would feel at home. Now SR continues and we have to forge our own identity. So maybe it's time to do something about the way the...

OK folks, we need to pick an official name for this site. What should we be? Storage Forum StorageForum StorageForum.net The Storage Forum storageforum.net Or is there some other variation that would look better? Vote early and vote often!

What do you guys make of this one? Customer of mine has a more-or-less new system: Gigabyte 7IXE4 main board (AMD 751), Duron 800, nice new case, Gforce II. He kept his old hard drive, a Western Digital 2.5GB, and CD drive - whatever crap Hewlett Packard palmed him off with in the first place...

Thanks to Sulo Kallas for sending me this little post from the old SR, which he saved before the MBF. The thread was on the topic "most unusual computer-related injury", or something similar. If you feel inspired, add your own tales below. ---------------------------------------- Quite a few...

Hi Doug, a small bug report for you. The browser detection routine on the front page is a bit trigger happy. With both of my primary browsers, it gives me a plain, blank page with no links at all. On inspecting the page source, I see this: <frameset border="1" frameborder="no" framespacing="1"...

The other day I came across a real rarity: a Conner Technology 15GB drive. No, not a Conner Peripherals drive, not the company that started when Finis Conner argued with Al Shugart and stomped off muttering that he was going to start his own drive company - which he did with considerable success...

Storage Forum is alive: everybody be sure to update your bookmarks. I'll be posting this same message all over. (Why don't you put that in your sig, Tannin?) (Oh yeah. Good idea. Thankyou.) Why is it that I have to think of everythingh around here?) (Now look what you've done, Tea: messed...

In another thread, I started to ponder what sort of systems people buy, and what things they don't buy. That thread was about CPUs, but the question has more general relevance, I think. So here is a list of the systems we offer (which are probably not all that different to the systems that most...
