Works perfectly. Using it right now. I should be able to part with it in about a week or less. Make a reasonable offer. Clocker

Just part of my planned eventual migration to an SMP rig that will probably have a 64-bit slot I'll need to use I found my self a grreeeeaaat deal on a retail box 29160. It should arrive in about a week. Do you guys think I can just unplug my X15 boot drive from the Tekram and move it over to...

Anyone setting up G@H as a service? How are you doing it? I have seen this method but the only problem I have with it is that there appears to be no Net connection to my machine (for downloading work/uploading results) until someone logs on. This is the method I have seen so far...

Hi, I was saying this before (based on my experience) but nobody believed me. The X15-36LP IS quieter than the Atlas 10K III. SR's measurements confirm it. THe Atlas 10K III weighs in at 50.1 dB and the X15-36LP weighs in at 48.1 dB. Incidentally, I found this while browsing the noise...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2015645457 I have decided to sell it in favor of 'investing' in a dual cpu system. SF members get free shipping or, if you use BIN, $10 off. C

I'm thinking about picking up an Epox M762A Dual Athlon board but wonder if it is a dead end as far as processors go? Any ideas if this will take a Hammer (or whatever the next generation SMP Athlon is).....? C

I had no idea that WinXP was so customizable. I'm having a grand time playing with all these different theme's and visual styles people have been creating. Very imaginative! www.themexp.org Check it out!! Clocker

I'm thinking about selling my Atlas 10K III and possibly even my X15-36LP and moving back to the IDE world. The whine of the 36GB Atlas is a bit annoying (the 18GB 15K Seagate is much quieter). THe simplicty and quietness of a modern IDE system is tempting.....thoughts??? KCH

Yo- I used that NTSwith proggy to convert the WinXP Pro install on my spare machine in the basement to Windows Whistler Server. What cool things can I do with the machine now that it has the server version OS on it?? Clocker

Hey Guys! I'm a bit excited today. We turned in the 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GT I've been driving for the past three years and bought a new vehicle. I know it isn't a Porche like most of you drive but for me this has turned out to be a great deal. The car comes off the same W-Platform that...

I was playing around with the fans in my Fong Kai FK-320ATX. In a quest for a quieter PC, I replaced the fan in my Enhance 300W PS with a Panaflo low speed unit. BUt, it provide additional airflow for my system (see below), I had an Enermax Adjustable speed 120mm fan intake up front. I tape...

I bought this drive on eBay for $40 shipped. It is 20GB. ATA100. I'm guessing it is 5400RPM but I'm not sure. My motherboard BIOS identifies this drive as "Generic A8E.P100" upon boot up. It would probably be a decent drive if the seller didn't ship it in a padded envelope (no shit it is...

Hi- I'm going to upgrade my Father-in-laws BX Board: http://www.epox.com/html/english/products/motherboard/ep-bx3.htm I plan on putting a Celeron 950 into this board with a MSI Master Slotket. I think it should work fine although it is not officially supported. The board supports at least a...

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q137890 I've used the techniqe above with great success to have my United Devices THINK program launch even though no one has actually logged onto my WinXP box. It is really easy actually. However, does anyone how I can enable my network...

THis is a real TNT2 16MB AGP card, not the choked down M64 version. $20 shipped anywhere in the USA. C

I was messing with a friends computer upgrading some things. Installed a TV tuner card, replaced Savage4 PSO video card with a TNT2 16MB. Motherboard is an Abit VH6 (VIA 694 chipset) with Celeron 600: http://www.abit-usa.com/eng/product/mb/vh6.htm Her Diamond Supra 56i internal ISA modem...

I created a CD with Nero so I could get some drivers installed on a friends machine. Their machine, which is runnng WIn98SE, refuses to properly read the CD. It is very very slow (minutes instead of seconds) to copy files and then when they do copy over they are corrupt. This is an old 24x...

I heard on the news that they kill him by first slitting is throat and then decapitating him. What barbarians these terrorists are. They deserve a really slow death in the gas chamber. Clocker

Magnets Are the Future of Data Storage I doubt this is the future on th edesktop but it is interesting nonetheless.... A 'plastic' magnet that responds to light could lead to new ways of storing and reading large amounts of computer data. Light would be used to store information in cheap...

Great job, Doug!! Clocker

Where can I find good deals and reviews on TVs? Just incase it is not practical to repair my broken Trinitron, I want to make an educated buying decision. Good picture quality & low price are important to me. I don't have to have a flat screen though. I want the best value in a TV that will...

I'm pretty sure a power surge caused it as the alarm on the surge protector in the other room is beeping like hell telling me to replace it. My 27" Sony Trinitron TV is dead now. It just won't power on. Nothing happens when I hit the power button. I see a small 6.3A 125V inline fuse which...

Steve GIbson @ www.grc.com raised a big stink about WinXP using raw sockets and it being such a big security risk. According to Steve, WinXP boxes are so insecure, home users should not be using it. We all need ZoneAlarm accoring to Steve. However, his ShieldsUp page which uses his new...

Interesting info: http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1103-838981.html I wonder if they have made tribological advancements to help compensate for the added power consumption that a faster spinning drive will have, or if they just reduced the size/mass of the platters via advances in aerial density...

I'm thinking about upgrading my video card. I currently have a Geforce2 GTS. I'd prefer a DX8 compliant card at a reasonable price so the two options I'm considering are: Geforce 4 Ti 4200 (a bit pricy) vs Geforce 3 Ti 300 (not sure on price) If you were buying, which would you choose and...

I will continue to visit SR on a regular basis. But, I'm now calling SF my new online habitat. The SR Computers & For Sale forums seem useful but the B&G is dead. It's you guys who made SR great (for me) so I'm now committed to SF. Clocker

Hey Guys- If you haven't noticed, I've been gone a while. Went on vacation crusing the south caribbean. Aruba, Curacao, St. Martin, and St. Thomas. It was a great time sailing on the Adventure of the Seas. I haven't been posting much. I'm not sure why. Hopefully, I'll get out of this...
