http://www.dpreview.com/news/0503/05031802panasdcarbustest.asp New Panasonic SD Cardbus reader released, with a respectable 12.5MB/sec read with Extreme IIIs. If only they would release a CF version.

Well I finally hooked it up to my Athlon, and to my delight my elderly ATI AIW 7500 had no trouble driving it via DVI at 1920*1200. tho strangely it doesn't display any BIOS boot up screens or Win multi-boot menu. I have to select blind. Howeve once Windows boots up she's hunky-dory.

If you search for the Troy core in Newegg you will see a couple of Opterons/FXs with the new core, it's just a matter of time before they are available in the Athlon64 range.

3700 is socket 754

If buying from Newegg, just check it has SSE3 listed.

It's a shame you didn't copy+paste :( I think it's a goner.

I thought it was odd that no-one posted since last night for quite a while.

http://www1.us.dell.com/content/topics/topic.aspx/global/products/monitors/topics/en/monitor_feature?c=us&cs=RC956904&l=en&s=hied Click on Monitor Learn More There is a list of cards that Dell used to sell/currently sells that support the monitor, either with VGA or DVI. Not exaustive, but...

Got the 24" (actually they were pretty quick, they shipped last Wednesday and it was delivered Thursday. First impressions: very nice. No dead pixels (or I would be sending this back too). Definitely not too large. In fact it kind of shrinks after a while. Currently running on VGA as the DVI on...

The saddest thing was talking to customer service. Your problem sir? I have received a 20" 2005FPW, instead of the 24" 2405FPW I paid for. How do you know this? Umm, the box says 2005FPW, and it is clearly too small to contain a 24" monitor. Up to this point, the box was unopened. Please...

New Sony MP3 players released today: http://www.macobserver.com/article/2005/03/08.3.shtml Stunning battery life, 70 hours on a AAA, or 50 hours on the rechargeable models.

True, but RAID-0 would be wasted with the bandwidth of USB 2 or FW 400. Thanks for the link Platform, that is cheap for a FW800 enclosure (especially a two drive with integrated RAID 0).

Idiots from Dell sent me a 2005FPW, instead of a 2405. I await the cross shipment.....

In the US you have 21 days to return something to Dell if you aren't happy with it for a refund, for any reason at all. You just pay the shipping. They call it the "total satisfaction warranty". Unfortunately they don't have that in Aus, I would be hesitant too in that case.

Definitely a good thing. They fixed the XP SCSI bug a long time ago with 2003.

Do you guys do taxes in June/July?

Thin and Light I presume.

You can't do RAID with external drives with Windows (at least not without hacking I believe). Plus you need a server flavour to get RAID 1 or RAID 5.

My order status is "in transit to local carrier" so hopefully I'll see it on Tuesday, if not I'll have to wait till next Monday as I'll be in Europe for a few days.

We have an Inspiron 600m, heavier than an ultra-portable, but gives you a 14" screen at XGA or SXGA+ (1400*1050) which is what we have. Works well, nice sharp screen, and a blessed serial port. Getting up there at 5lbs. The Latitude D610 would be the closest Latitude equivalent. The Latitude...

Have a look at the end of this thread http://www.storageforum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4283

We got a T42 with 1024*768 screen the other day at work, it seemed rather heavy for it's thickness. Screen itself was utter shite, it appeared to only be backlit from the bottom edge, creating washed out colors. Hopefully the higher rez screens are better. Of course it's replacing an HP laptop...

Dell Insiporn 700 is rated quite highly. Dell Aus seems to be tits up for maintenance currently, but I'm sure it is a cheaper option than the IBM. No keyboard ligh tho. Here's the US site: http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/inspn_700m?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs It's 4.1...

Honda makes a very nice portable genny that is good for electrical devices. http://www.hondapowerequipment.com/ModelDetail.asp?ModelName=eu1000i

So what is the link between marbled beef and genocide? Is there something wrong with marbling. Would it be OK if I was worried about the price of lean beef? "There's genocide in Africa, and you're talking about the price of EPS power supplies!"

4 organic porterhouse steaks for US$90.82 http://www.grasslandbeef.com/Detail.bok?no=44

I read them when Buck orginally posted them. I quickly perused them again just now. I can see a possible connection to the military in the Middle East. I could see a possible link to starvation in Africa (we could send the lower-than-production cost corn over there). But nothing to genocide...

I fail to see the connection between price of marbled steak and genocide in Africa. You're the one bitching about paying an extra $35 for an EPS power supply, why not send that to Africa.

Hold back cheaper prices for delicious marbled steak, yet approve Vioxx and other COX-2s that were known killers. Only in America.

Buy all the stock you can. Then sell it for double the current price to anyone who needs one badly enough. The other option, switching to Turditron, makes one shudder.

Ah yes, the aspect is known. CityK is right i.

Don't you need two variables to get the third? You need the height or width, as well as the hypotnuse.

2001FP alongside 2405FP http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/thanks339/imgs/c/8/c81b1247.jpg http://blog.livedoor.jp/thanks339/ The 24" looks substantially bigger than the 2001FP.

Will do i. 2001FP, top bezel is 0.75" and the bottom bezel is close to 1". Should be similar.

Two may be cheaper but I hate the bezel line in the middle on a dual setup. Plus no component input or memory card reader, and I would need a vid card with two DVI connectors. Of course two 24s....

2405FPW is available at Dell: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/ProductDetail.aspx?sku=320-4221&c=us&l=en&cs=19&category_id=6198&first=true&page=productlisting.aspx Currently $1079, I got it on the phone for $1037.

Hasn't a plane already done the around the world non stop thing? I could have sworn I've seen something like this before.

AGP 8x has more bandwidth than the PCI-X slot. I don't believe there are any PCI based ATI X800 cards, only AGP or PCI-E. PCI-Express has more bandwidth than the AGP slot, another benefit is that you can run in SLI mode with two graphics cards in two PCI-Express slots.

Sounds like you are confusing PCI-X (which has been around for quite a few years), with PCI-E (PCI-Express). AGP 8x is plenty sufficient for todays cards I believe.

There are a couple of ways you can hook up an HDTV to your computer. Some of the ATI cards ship with a component dongle, you can use component cables in that case. You can get a PCI HD tuner card (such as the MyHD-120). This will tune OTA channels (there is a 130 now that can also tune...

The Dell 24" WUXGA model will be available for sale on March 1st. But at list of $1199, I don't see it replacing the 20" models. I can definitely see the need for one or more at work tho....

One hour of HD generally consumes about 8.5 GB on average. Of course if the content providers/broadcasters get their way and the Broadcast Flag isn't struck down, it's unlikely that you will be able to record much HD content to your PC with hardware made after 1st July. Get the non-compliant...

New ipod Minis released today: http://theinquirer.net/?article=21410

Nuclear electric powa for the recharging, and then we ship all the waste to Maralinga for burial :p

Here's a good article on CPU and GPU scaling: http://anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2330 Page 6 and on has some interesting graphs showing where a cpu starts limiting a video cards performance

One calculation has the giant flare on SGR 1806-20 unleashing about 10,000 trillion trillion trillion watts. Enough to power a few of Prescotts :) Thanks for the link mubs.

I think they call those stimulators...

Ah, yes, NC-11, those are the ones I have. The hissing is actually mentioned in the instruction sheet, of course they don't talk about it in the specs....
