1.74v isn't anything to be worried about... all components have a tolerance, including the sensors, as brwmogazos said, some mobos (eg my Asus) overvolt (if you set it to CPU default it gives 1.8v instead of 1.75, I was running it like this for months untill I could be bothered to change to...

Yeah... so. It should perform fine already... if you want to upgrade the CPU just stick a Celery 800 in there and it should be pretty useable for assignments and Internet use for the next couple of years at least.

haha not really. Might as well get yourself a second machine rather than pay for those electric bills :)

Hah, got us a new member I think. P4-2.53 and P4-3.1 soon :wink:

Weren't you going to give that machine to your fiancee's sister?

The 4mpixel Kodak easyshare LS443 is horrible for its price. Here, it costs double the Canon A30 and the pictures, although obviously larger, are very blurry in comparison and look like someones been messing with the JPEG smoothing options. I had the option to buy this camera for the same price...

BTW some later steppings of the 266 and higher used 2.0v as well... and the P3-600s were rated to 2.05v :mrgrn:

Slot >= 433.... use a slotket adaptor...

LCDs are indeed more relaxing but I'd be reading much easier on a 19" CRT rather than a 15" LCD. Yes, all P2 350MHz and above used to run on 100 FSB. Well, the 633 almost always does a 100 FSB giving 950MHz but its not 100% certain. Celeron at 800 and higher come with a 100 FSB by default...

Yeah, I think as you will also have a laptop, the other machine is more or less redundant. You might want to keep the 19" monitor from the P2 for her to use on the laptop when at home as it will be easier on the eyes. A P2-400 with 384mb should be pretty responsive - the machine should be...

One of the reviews I read, mentioned the flash was onyl properly effective for 4 feet... yes four!

ahh Ixus. Too expensive :cry:

Nimh is much much better than alkaline.. Even Nicd I think, its just that their power dropped off very suddenly and so the level indicator was pretty much useless - one second it could show 100% then one minute later the camera stops working.

Honold, I can't find the 230 - it probably goes by a different name over here. Keep in mind prices for cameras over here are more than double of those in the US. Check http://www.internetcamerasdirect.co.uk/ to see what I mean. What I did was I ordered the Fuji that Cougtek reccomended, as well...

There is an A30. Perhaps it goes under a different name in the American market but even the Fuji 2650 is actually called an a204 over here... go figure. I don't like the proprietary card on the Fuji...

Hi, Thats for the tip COugtek, I'll check put the Fuji's reviews and samples. e_dawg, I am not going to be printing at all. I want a camera for general use, for display on monitor only. I'm not looking to spend as much as a G2 costs, but something around the £200 ($300) maximum mark. I...

While I'm waiting for the cheque for the Tualatin to come through, I put it in my E-PC which surprisingly supports it in place of the P3-733. I'll leave it there crunching till I send it off on Monday.

About time to change my 4 year old Olympus 840. Nikon Coolpix 2000 or Canon Powershot A30? :) I'm put off by the Nikon as it doesn't have a viewfinder and the flash is supposed to be poor, has anyone had any personal experience with these? Thanks

:beer:

Er.. just realised. Most of our walls are stone. Stone, not bricks. Need a JCB to make a hole in that!

Thanks for the advice, but I'm moving out of this place in June so maybe I'll do it in my next house :D

Nice one :wink:

The device for connecting to the power plug costs around $90-100 - I presume you will need one for each device but I might be wrong.-I havent looked into it that much. Wires are the best option in almost all aspect especially with gigabit cards becomeing more affordable, but the switch is still...

thanks for the link

Needell is a top notch driver. I have all his videos that he has released on VHS, I might capture them one day. I've also got quite a few on my PC. 5th gear is the name if the new program that replaced Top Gear after 20 years... and it sucks. They drive family cars. If we want to buy a family...

LOL

Glad you enjoyed it. I've got many such videos, around 8 cds worth if anyone is interested I can send via ICQ or MSN.

no luck?

Try now

So.. did the video work?

The filesize on the server was incorrect. It didn't upload fully. I'm re-uploading as I hit overwrite by mistake. :oops: I'm off to bed, try in 20 minutes or half hour. Goodnight

Er... hold on then

I take it the filesize is correct? If so head over to http://www.divx.com/divx/index.php and download DivX 5.02

Is it the correct size? 66,709,504 bytes. Otherwise you probably don't have DivX?

Try now.

Its still uploading... will take another 20 minutes or so.

Buck, you speak German right? Take a look at this (give it a while to upload) http://www.rotting-energy.net/Forums/F360.avi Does he say anything about the exhaust system on there?

Yes Yes I believe Ferrari used such a system in the 360 Modena, but so as to be able to pass noise legislation. After a certain RPM threshold a valve bypasses part of the exhaust, and thats when the V8 music begins!

heh... this one I rented (Renault Clio dCi) only smoked on the overrun from high revs, or if you did a brutal downchange (i.e. stick it in 1st at 35mph). There was just a marginally sooty blast from the exhaust that could be seen from the rearview mirror if being followed by a car at night with...

"snake between your legs!!"

Not to mention the turbo whistle and the chirping of the wastegate reminded you of being in something from fast and furious, though you needed the window down to hear the wastegate. I did get some funny looks from people with the window open in early November, I must say.

They certainly do drive better. I only once drove a diesel, an old one, and have been passenger in many a diesel, and I always thought they sucked big ones. Have to change gear every time you hit 2000rpm as it was all noise and no go after that, and also the fact that the noise and vibration can...

They have cats nowdays too... and the new common rail systems are complicated and expensive to fix when things go wrong - but at least they drive much better than the old mecahnical systems...

Good idea, but if you think about it, the cost of a replacement cat on a cheaper car after 100,000 miles or however long the catalyst lasts will make it unfeasible and people will scrap the car - which may be working perfectly otherwise. This extra waste to be disposed of might be just as bad as...

I haven't got a clue, Jake. But there are people who do this. Perhaps the laws are written to accomodate old cars as well as new ones under the same test, and remember, a 20 year old Ford Fiesta makes as much pollution as 20 new ones. So maybe thats what happens. Or perhaps they mess with some...

Is it illegal to actually remove the cat? Here you can do whatever you like, as long as after the modification, the car is still below the government set limits when due for its annual MOT test. http://www.ukmot.com/manual/6-4.htm

The data supposedly goes till the mains transformer that powers your house (and several others). I've been thinking of using this system for the past year but never got round to looking into it in detail

I use openoffice, its good, but I find it loads up slowly, and also in a couple of my word documents the test did not display exactly as it did in the latest version of Word

Huh? I've never seen lamb gyro?!? Hmm.. well anyway, lamb doner stinks, and tastes horrible, no wonder they put so much chilli sauce on it. In fact, the only reason there are so many kebab places in London, and the only reason they make money is due to the amount of people who will eat anything...
