What a gimmick. As if there will be any decent sound quality inside the tower - with all that EMR, the crappy mobo circuit board, the crappy PSU... The only people who would buy this are the same ones who buy Intel because "they're faster".

I reckon CNet is FOS. I can certainly tell the difference between a 40Gb D740X and a 80Gb Barracuda IV in quiet mode, the latter being annoyingly slow at times (loading ICQ, virus scan, Acrobat, etc). And they say you might as well get a 5400rpm drive - now if one picks up a Seagate U-series...

Ok, anything but ECS. :roll:

The folding client is stupid. This is like the tenth time it does this. It runs out of stuff to process and sits here. I'm currently connected to the net, but right now it doesn't want to download more data (CPU load is zero). I've just realised its been idle for almost 24 hours <sigh>. Why...

Solution = Asus.

Yeah right! :evil:

Thanks everyone. This year must have been the most boring (presents-wise) of them all. I got clothes from everyone. And most of them tasteless. I got a white shirt with what looks like paint splashed on it from my aunt. I'll be damned if I ever wear that, I think now that her husband left her...

haha, me too. The sign of a true GEEK

Tea, I don't suppose you're talking about the "All Pc users know the blue screen of death. When it happens, your machine dies. I'm self employed, a PR consultant. I don't have an IT department, I use a Macintosh. I don't get the blue sceen of death any more. It doesn't crash." video?

what am I to say... have a P3-733 running 10 hours per day now :(

How am I supposed to know? He's on dial up and (as you said) he has a firewall. He also said he is not a fan of mine which is very disturbing so I will end this post here :(

<lurk mode> I like your dad, Prof. What did your mum have to say about that? </lurk mode>

ROTFLMAO :mrgrn:

hah, I find the entire picture disturbing, Kogitt. I guess drunken bastard could be any of the three of them, they're all just as bad. :-?

Couldn't be avoided... this is a small portable computer that doesn't have any room for a floppy drive. :( I checked out Seatools yesterday, no luck... Aint no spare machine :( Network? Who says I've got a network?! :D Seems I'll have to live with it till I get back to my normal machine...

I guess so. Works on 2000

Try Neotrace if you want something with more features. It also graphs you the physical path of the hops on a map etc..

Are there any programs out there which will allow one to change the acoustic management on a Barracuda IV from within windows? Basically, my problem is this: on my machine I'm using right now, there is no floppy drive (or a controller for one at that). The hard drive is NTFS so I can't access...

Damn, I royally screwed that one up. I must learn to use the preview function. If one of the mods wants to crop/resize the photo and make the

Heres the DrunkenBastard, on the left Oh, and conveniently, heres a photo of the Bartender

Artisan (SP) I wouldn't say it quite describes me but...

Oh great. Didn' realise the topic had a second page to it and didn't see the rest of the replies. Seems I wasn't alone in thinking that.

Fushigi, I always thought you were Japanese, because of the nickname :)

Yeah come on, we still have some people missing I think...

Seems like the processor to me.

<irrelevant> Hmm, OcUK in position 18... we'll never get past those (although we still have a long way to go till to reach position 19) I know how they operate, I used to be on their Seti team. Thousands of powerful machines and also you can buy vouchers off them for $30... when they have...

Of course they do - isn't that the whole point of KT333 chipsets, to provide support for 166 FSB (which would obviously include the relevant multipliers?) :-?

not me - they need an upgrade. I'm talking about other's computers. But either way I don't like them turned on - they reduce from the percieved snappyness since they dont move instantly.

everyone does that. I also adjust the refresh rate most of the time. And remove window animation/fade effects. They use up too much CPU power.

Its happened to me... also heard of a riddler and the first thing that came to mind was the famous cracker :mrgrn:

This is coming along nicely - perhaps it will be the most popular thread on SF (after, of course, Tony's version of Apology to China). Should Rocco perhaps post a full photo? Just kidding of course :mrgrn:

if we were to see it? Go on... you know you want to! :mrgrn: Flag a member? :-? No one said he doesn't look great - he just looks older than what I thought. Perhaps he isn't - after all, long beards add 10 or 20 years to one's appearance... :) What did you do that time? Hate the...

Ahh, thanks Tea. I remember seeing that I had to do this in the past when I tried to insert an image in a post, but this time it didn't click...

OK, didn't see Cougtek's response. :oops:

Well, after seeing other's pics, I feel I'm just fine in that respect. But where is your pic? I remember when Jason posted a pic, you said "am I the only one who doesn't look nice and friendly here?" or something like that. Can you manage to look more evil than Prof? Jake the dog looks funny...

What do we all look like? Post photos! (yes I know, this is very sad. I'm getting bored here - might become the next Jason). Here I am: www.rotting-energy.net/Forums/boo.jpg (I realise I have to shave and have a hair cut... at some point) So, lets see everyone else's ugly mug on here!

OK, I checked (after about two years) my ISP's pop3 box for my dial up account back home. Amongst otehr spam, I got two different versions of this: -------------------- Dear Friend, I am well confident of your capability of executing this business for the mutual benefit of our both...

Now why won't my sig work...

I'm still running a GF2MX on my Athlon, and on this P3-733 right now, a 4Mb Intel one as found in the 815 chipset... (something like the i740 graphics card, only slower)

Oh yes, I did read that far. In fact, eventually I read it all. (Yes, I'm bored) I particularly liked the part when she comes back saying she just vomited. And that her friend is having sex next door.

Not neccesarily that model you have - theres one in particular, a really cheap one, let me see if I can find it... OK, found it. Model 75F 17" Pure Flat. $200 of junk.

Can't broken arms heal? :-?

Steer clear of the Mitsubishi/NEC 17" flat they have. A friend has one and its cheap and nasty. Shadow mask with a useless power supply (very large variations in size and position when you maximise a white window and colour bleeding etc). It also feels a little cheaply built (low grade...

OK I read halfway down and got fed up. "They'll throw me out if I like anime" pffft... I've set up ICQ to ignore people not on my list... the funniest was my ex-girlfriend, she had the nickname "Ramones", from the old 70's group. For some reason everyone from Brazil and Mexico who had ICQ were...

Actually I was putting them in order of speed (or something) then I thought the 75GXP doesn't deserve to be this high, might as well put it at the bottom.

Whoops. Whatever. Get rid of the 75GXP, that is an insult anyway...

He's back... http://forums.storagereview.net/viewtopic.php?t=4044

Hah, good one. But I like Tannin's version more. Like Mercutio said, include Maxtor, please! Actually, Seagate is missing. Perhaps we should add models too. I think this would be more appropriate: IBM 75GXP: 1 Seagate U-6: 10 Quantum Bigfoot: 25 Quantum LCT: 50 Samsung SpinPoint: 100...

Thanks accepted :council:
