I doubt it would work in a 3.3V AGP 2X board, or will it?

Can't afford a new video card :(

I'm learning "good" journalistic practice... :joker:

AM2, AM2+, AM3... The Inq: ..."AM2+ is a variant that will arrive in the Barcelona time frame, basically Q2. It brings us the wonder of split voltage planes so you can "volt" the CPU differently from the memory controller, freeing AMD from one of its bigger frequency scaling headaches. AM2...

looks like the G80 class NVIDIA GPU's will soon enter the folding fold, at least according to Tech Report http://www.techreport.com/onearticle.x/11287

Good luck Tony. Enjoy.

Do we need an un-moderated/not-safe forum if others want to share? It would obviously have to have some limits.

Never mind, I'm a clown :crnval: Tried to start the instance with FAH504-Linux.exe rather than a shell script I'd set up...

Does anyone know if the top command under Linux will show two instances of FAH504-Linux running or one? I have set up two instances on a dual core linux box as I would a Windows box (two seperate folders, separate configs, different machine numbers), but "top" only shows one instance of...

Functionally identical. Bling, baby!

Speedfan 4.31 has been released http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php

It seems the Realtek on-board solution isn't all that it's cracked up to be. fear the crab baby! Expect a storm of protests from Taiwan. http://www.techreport.com/onearticle.x/11171

Which probably explains why I will be poor all my life...

Quadfather isn't the name. It's a moniker/nickname applied by the Inq (that was where I first saw it) or someone else. The official moniker is 4x4, which I think is equally dumb. Did I mention that I hate marketers/marketing?

13 drives in all—Seagate, Maxtor, Hitachi, Merc's Bane. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/storage/display/seagate-barra-720010.html

mid January '07. Update to AVG 7.5 at your convenience.

AFAIK, G80 supports DX10, is launched this week, but won't be available for a few weeks yet. This is the high end, so expect to pay a motza. R600 (ATi) has been pushed back until Feb '07. Again, don't expect retail availability for a few weeks after, and (for both players) don't expect retail...

According to Le Inq, Firefox 2.0 will be out tomorrow. RC3 has been pretty stable for me.

I case you missed it. A vulnerability has been found http://secunia.com/advisories/22477/ A demo is here: http://secunia.com/Internet_Explorer_Arbitrary_Content_Disclosure_Vulnerability_Test/ According to MS, this was patched long ago, and is a flaw in Outlook Express. So why is IE 7.0...

Smoothwall. Turn on Web proxy (transparent). This will log the IP of every machine on your network, the URL's they connected to and the time at which they did so. Yes it can be used to snoop, but is it any worse than what web companies do without your knowledge? Personally, I only use it for...

It was 32 C here ysterday. Unseasonally hot. It's going to be 30 C today and there is a total fire ban in place. Bush (forest) fires are raging out of control in several places in the country.

I've no idea. I have seen a few posts that say the C2D is particulary fast on these, and a couple of other projects, but generally, the C2D is only a little faster than and X2, clock for clock. In a couple of cases, the X2 is faster. It's like the GPU's, they are very fast on some WU, and I'm...

Who needs your stinking GPU! Project 1495 Gromacs 364 points. X2 3800+ 371ppd (@ 2.4GHz) A64 3200+ 313ppd C2D Notebook @ 2GHz 839ppd! E6600 @ 3GHz 1 224ppd! Yep, you read it right! :owneddnce:

Seagate perhaps?

Many thanks.

Ahh, so quick to accuse... Absolutely nothing. Clicked on the link with FF1.5.07. Completely blank screen. Tried IE 6.0. Same thing. Cookies are enabled, so is JS. Given that others have problems, what is your issue? ;)

There seems to be something wrong with that link mark.

Points for week: 9 999. Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! sob. 1 lousy point. :(

I'd be surprised if rich playboys had maps of remote Brazillian military airbases. And why would they need a Front company (air charter service)?

I think it was the default creation scheme? Can't really remember. I learnt my lesson.:oops:

I really do. They wasted my long weekend. To cut a long story short, I decided to "upgrade" my system & convert my 160GB Samsung over to a 250. I'd forgotten that the 160 & 250 in place were dynamic disks. Swap over motherboard from X2 to C2D etc. Boot drive is a Maxtor 15KII. That goes...

I once thought as you do, young Padawan. Then I was enlightened by an elderly savant--or gin soaked geezer, I can't remember which. ;) --remember the consultants mantra; Paid by the hour... :owneddnce:

I've noticed this too. Installed 1.5.05 on a fresh build and it's snappy. Update to 1.5.0.7 and it's molassenary :)

Anybody heard of Windows Defender? I just had to fix a Dell P!!! 800 which ..."wouldn't do anything"... Turns out that it was running ZoneAlarm, Avast! with all the real-time options turned on and Windows Defender. The poor thing couldn't "do anything" because these three were chewing all the...

Cool! :)

Merc, this is what you need, filled with 750GB drives http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2018300,00.asp

Thanks for the tips people.

I've stopped using Ad-Aware as it doesn't seem to do a lot. I do still use Spybot. What else should I be using?

If you go here and do a lot of hunting around: http://www.techreport.com/reviews/page.x?pg=graphics you will find that ATi mid-range cards (X1600 and above) and up use about 60W+ under full load, and go up from there. NVIDIA's 7600 and up start at about 40W, so these might be a better option...

Fan died in my SLK1650. Local shop wouldn't warrant it (they should have) so I called Antec. Shipped me a new one no questions asked.

Yep, seeing it in Aus as well. My understanding is that it is due to seasonal buying patterns in the Northern hemisphere. Memory will be (more) expensive until the New Year.
