Wow, are floppy drives that advanced? Perhaps its the floppy drive after all...

Reinstall Windows. (yeah, flame me!) :P

Cool, keep crunching!

Excuse my language... I let that slip :oops:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/graphic/0,5812,180750,00.html Fuck that, I do live next to one. Actually, four of them. I'm right next to Bradwell.

Looks like a winner. FDB, S-ATA, 60GBP and 8mb cache should make for a killer drive! Sign me up for one now!

Amstel is the best, full stop.

I doubt it will be faster overall than the JB series. It will, however, have a higher STR, if that is of any interest...

I'd buy one if a) it is as quiet or quieter than ATA IV b) it is faster than the ATA IV. Right now I'd go for a 800JB since it combines excellent performance and very good acoustics (good enough performance to discount the Cuda's noise-level difference IMO). However, perhaps the 8mb cache of...

I cant try it either. The only thing I've got right now is a Hewlett Packard E-pc which doesn't even have a configurable BIOS... :evil: I wish I could change the memory settings on this somehow... or overclock it.

Have their optical drives improved at all? Last time I used one (2-3 years ago) they were horrible. And incapable of properly ripping an audio CD.

Theres only one solution... try it!

Thanks for the link. Must be these: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/atasilmes1de1.html Too bad I can't get hold of the particular ones here, from whast I've seen anyway.

BTW, what are those round cables - they seem very thin, who makes them? Thanks

BTW, the CPU is locked so it was purely an FSB overclock.

The AGKGA-Y (week 42 IIRC) are said to be very good overclockers. Incidentally I have one of those (XP1800) that I've managed to get working (apparently stable) at 1820MHz or something thereabouts using an Alpha8045 and cranked voltage up two steps in the A7V266E BIOS (whatever voltage that is)...

Hmm. Seems my webspace provider is down. No pictures on the review.

Steve, nice review and nice case - but what are those heatspreaders you're using? Or are those Corsair sticks with the built in heatspreader? For a quiet PC, you could also try the Zalman heatsink - not good for overclocking but certainly quieter than the Delta setup you've got there. See my...

Oww yeah, I'm bored. But not for long. I will bring pictures when I return from the beach.

Jake, love the avatar! 8)

No more than I'd live near a coal-powered plant :mrgrn: But seriously, does it make much difference? Unless you're tens of thousands of miles away you're pretty much in deep s**t if something happens, right? Or am I talking rubbish?

Bleh, that sucks. The links to the streaming audio don't work. I recommend you download some tracks (in particular, Colours, Circles, Aromatherapy) and have a listen.

Actually today I took apart what appears to be an IBM PS/2 8083. Its a 386 at 33MHz (BTW theres the 80386 CPU and a 80387 chip of some sort next to it - is that a math co pro?), 160Mb SCSI full height drive, 4mb of 80ns ram, and what appears to be a pasword protected OS/2 which I cannot boot...

The reason so many are against use of nuclear stations is because of the Chernobyl crap. To be honest, as long as stations such as these continue to operate in East Europe theres nothing to be afraid of when building new ones in wealthy countries who give a damn about safety - if anything is...

They'd better not. I can imagine him giving us his helicopter-lessons style reports. "Today I was bent over the toilet by a 6ft 5 black man. Here is a photo of the guy: It isn't, in fact, as easy as it looks. You have to continually monitor the force with which you insert the "flight control...

The front fans on my Lian-Li case have a dust filter, and they're set on the ultra low speed (probably something like 6v). Theres only the PSU fans in there now (Enermax Whisper 350W). There are various small holes in the back of the case though which might be letting air in.

Yes, the Zalmans are indeed very nice to look at. But, in the 3 weeks or so I had them, they started getting pretty dusty. When I get back I think I'll have to take a can of compressed air to them or else they'll become very hard to clean. Keep that in mind.

I should be getting a cheque from them very very soon if I go on like this. Five people now want to buy one after what I told them. I'm the best marketing guy they'll ever get :evil:

* about the hell-hole. More a hell hole because of the people's attitude rather than anything else. I'm sick of hearing most of them bragging about their superiority when their country is stuck in the dark age. :eekers:

Yes we do have to stop these trips. The only reason I'm doing them is for my parents - and, of course, to meet some of the lovely people over there (right!) :mrgrn: I'm going to be in this hell-hole* for 3 months. If I brought the XP with me (difficult task considering its on the other side...

Whoops scrap that. Confused the windows... What I meant to say was: My XP is now off for the summer (about a week ago I put it in the attic). From now till September, I've got a useless P3-733. I'm going to get my butt kicked. :(

If its a Xeon, it will have full speed cache. Just thought I'd point that out.

heh, let us know how they go. Me, I'm using the ultimate in quiet computing right now. I've taken my HP e-PC back home with me, only moving parts it has is the Barracuda (in a special HP designed NoVibes mount thingy, and a 92mm fan which just about moves a little fart of air. Right now the air...

I dont think you can turn off the bubble that pops up. Just have to click on it.

By all means, lets see what it can do without the coprocessor. If it doesn't melt down and blow up by then.

http://www.scumware.com/wm1.html I just found out about it... <sigh> :evil:

Yes, as does the offshore gas production facility and the four epileptic refineries :mrgrn: http://www.scamorama.com/scam34.shtml

YEp it takes a couple of days for the DNS propagation but in my experience it usually takes less than a day. YMMV.

One of my accounts has been getting one junk mail every couple of days - thats as far as I'll let it go. I always complain and send details to their ISP but who knows to how many others they've sold my address. I just set up aliases on my main account, so I have will@, energy@, nrg@, all going...

hehe :)

Don't forget, Prof, like me, is using an A7V266E which gives temperatures arond 10C higher than other boards, which is supposed to be closer to the real temperature of the core. Mine runs at around 58-61C depending on room temperature, using a very quiet Zalman flower cooler.

My XP1800 running at 1600MHz takes 9 minutes and 10 seconds for one frame of ProteinA.

Celsius is much more logical, since it is based upon the characteristics of water at sea level atmospheric pressure. 0ºC = freeze point, 100ºC = boiling point; 1 cubic centimeter (1cc) of water weighs 1 gram, the amount of energy it takes to raise 1cc of water 1 degree Celsius is 1 calorie...

I think its Tannin :erm:

There seems quite alot of interest for Athlon T-bird 1400s on the market - presumably lots of people have boards that won't take XPs, right now over here, the XP1800 costs as much as the 1400. So, if you can sell it it won't cost you that much. I'd certainly go for the upgrade - 1400's get...

True. My physics teacher showed us the video, and then made us solve some problems related to it. (something about how long the support cables had to be to change the fundamental frequency or something or other. :eekers:

I was about to suggest (despite my hatred to everything else Macromedia) Dreamweaver since in my experience its easy, full of features and creates much more readable code than FrontPiss. But then I remembered you're not much of a Windoze fan. Oh well.
