I would have said purple (K.I.S.S.) but looking at the W3C chart, indigo it is.

Beats /. that's for sure :)

Yes! :mrgrn:

Goliath online. Go ahead tac-com. Seriously, the retail 'sinks seem to be poor quality. The finish on the base is poor. I recently bought a Spire FalconRock IV for my Socket A system, and the base on it was just as poor (pronounced ridges). I was using it to replace an Alpha PAL6035. The...

Bartender, something a little special for Mr. Mercutio.

Yeah, but I thought you needed silver for that? And why would a Tassie devil want to shoot Greg S? :eekers: :mrgrn:

They look interesting. I'll dig around. Yep, an Aussie.

I miss using my Lian Li case. The drive enclosure of choice was aluminium, and had 2 x 80 or a 120mm fan drawing air through a filter to blow straight across the drives. :( Home brew it is I guess.

I am a bit concerned with temps of my Atlas II 15K and wanted to install a HDD cooler. Can anybody recommend one? Low noise, lots of airflow...

Yeah. I'll stick with the retail jobby for now, until I can find one that is significantly better. I've got a Zalman 7000B AlCu on my X2, and it gives better temps than the retail jobby(at least when its not clogged with dust), but when I try to overclock it to any great extent, I get...

Well I didn't wait. XP1600+ is no more—you were a fine friend—replaced by an Athlon 64 3200+! Should be online tonight. Venice core, how high will it go? :mrgrn:

Why'd you want to do that? I would have thought it would be cheaper to buy them? Just to see if you could do it?

This is not directed at anyone O.K. It is just my opinion on the idea of debate. You may not agree—that's fine too. Forgot to add. It's when debate gets down to the "You're fscked!", "You Nazi/child molester/scat lover/descriptor of choice" level that the whole thing becomes pointless...

Ah no, I was not commenting on your post at all, even if you don't believe that because of my sig... My signature block is there for a purpose. If you think I'm being snide/underhanded/duplicitous, ask me. Those that know me in the flesh would however, laugh at such a suggestion. The usual...

Howell, I don't think he did any harm. David has an opinion, and as far as I am concerned, he is entitled to it. I was just commenting on Davids use of "flame". I would never class his post as a flame—I've seen far worse. I'm a little gun shy after having a couple of my posts misconstrued...

Flame? I see no fire. You say that your viewpoint may be unpopular. It may be. I made no comment one way or another, and this is important, nor did I imply one. If you think I did imply something, read my sig. ;) People are entitled to their views. The Thought Police/Psi Corps are not yet...

Never knew the dangers. This would be the '70's. Once I found out, I never did it again. Mind you, it might explain why I'm a bit slow sometimes... :eekers:

Fishing weights—sinkers, in the local vernacular—are just lead weights. I used to break up car batteries for the lead plates as a kid, melt them down on a fire, and make my own sinkers. I never thought to do it in an aluminium/stainless steel saucepan on the stove, though I imagined my mum...

http://www.dansdata.com/satausb.htm Dunno if it'd be useful, but the article is funny.

A narrow view of a concept that does not pigeonhole very well. IMO, such a narrow view (the definition quoted)could be used to interpret Charities and their works as socialist, as well as viewing Government funded schemes such as Welfare and Medicare/MedicAid as "socialist". Personally, I...

:) IIRC, it will use S775.

That's Communism, not socialism.

Félicitations Coug!

They are the same as the AnandTech, Hexus and others benchmarks, on the same systems, configured the same way, and funnily enough, producing the same result. ;)

Oh, BTW, I think the exploit Merc linked might actually be easier on the new Intel and AMD procs that support virtualisation.

Thanks for taking the time to post that Tony. Merc, thanks for depressing me further ;)

Can you post more about whose rootkit it was, what it hosed etc?

K9/K10 K?? I will second the comments on these Conroe v overclocked FX-60. It appears that the BIOS on the motherboard for the FX-60 used by Intel did not actaully support the FX-60, so a few (or more) of the control registers might not have been set correctly. When the original (preview)...

I have been looking in a few places, no luck as yet, but I'll keep at it.

I feel foolish/thick/backward/hick/all of the above because I did not know what Incredimail was. IncrediBoy! You're not affiliated with me!

X-bit take on the 2.5" 7200rpm drives and the Hitachi's seem to do much better. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/storage/display/25inch-hdd-7200.html

Active Armor data corruption, SATA issues (reported previously), EIDE driver issues, and, I am sure there was another issue with nForce 3 or 4, though my memory could be failing. Via hasn't had data corruption issues, though the K8T890 rev. 1 that didn't work with X2's was a cock up. Can't...

Wanted to see Munich last Tuesday, but time, kids et. al. all conspired against me. Went to see Memoirs of a Geisha instead. I liked it, except for the ending that just didn't fel somehow. My wife (who'd read the book) hated it, because the movie did not do the book justice, and guess what...

Slight thread hijack, but this seems to go with the flow... Can an LCD suffer screen burn-in? I went to an Indian restaurant a couple of days ago where they track orders via computer. The monitors were 17" ViewSonic LCD's (at least I thought they were LCD's) and there was clear evidence of...

Heh! I'd like someone to show me a S939 mobo with an x4 PCI-e slot

Usual contenders–Cheetah, Atlas, Hibachi :) and Raptor (control) http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/storage/roundup-scsi2005.html

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/storage/display/highpoint-rocketraid-2320.html 8 SATA-II HDDs RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and JBOD PCI E x4.

:sob Athlon XP 1600+ is now offline. :D I am thinking of replacing it with an Athlon 64 3000+, though I might hold off until Socket AM2 arrives–though it is likely to be expensive at first.

It seems I can.

Thank you Merc

Shouldn't you change your nick to Tripod? You da man! :mrgrn:

I thought the Mum (Queen's English if you please) & Dad was behind the Simpson success?

No idea about Intel's claim, and I would be loathe to dismiss it—after all, they should know. None of the documentation I have seen indicates how this would work in practice, though the last time I looked was early 2003. You could (in theory) do a finer grained bank interleave, but it would...

Amen. Despite what conservative politico types think, freedom of choice is a good thing. Personally, I like big boobs, but not to the exclusion of all else. My wife doesn't have large boobs, but her other charms (physical/emotional/mental) more than compensate. Am I regretful? Not in the...

Was FDR's govt(s) noted for corruption?

If true (about the lack of PATA), buy shares in Promise or SI. There will be a mini boom in PATA controllers until the Opticals go SATA, cheaply and plentifully
