all it takes is a couple of photos and articles, presented by your own biased media, and your totally convinced. fair enough, it works for you. me on the other hand; I'll wait to see what those nations, that have managed to stay completely outside of this, have to report before I'm comfortable...

athlon owners here may want to check their CPU on http://mp3.zonebg.com/cpu/cpu.php. this is a good read too: http://lowyat.isentral.com/guides/athlonxp. looks like time has one of these magic 1700+'s.

time, I just bought two OCZ400512B 512MB DDR400 2T DIMMS for AU$320 through Yen Industries (www.yenindustries.com) I got them cheaper than advertised by quoting TWEAKERS-003 and telling him I was a Tweakers.com.au forum member. I've had these DIMMS run at 2-3-3 @ 208MHz in dual channel mode...

yes. I've been using the free version it for about 8 months now and have found it works great. I've installed it on all my family and friends PC's and none have had a virus problem since. it's saved me a lot of time :D virus definitions are updated regularly at about 2-3 times a week, sometimes...

SOLD again! (on another forums) this time it took a very long time. two hours... lucky I'm a patient person :P

so is my RAM heh.

the buyer pulled out even after giving me a deposit... the RAM is for sale again.

would you be interested in a trade for some decent PC2700 DDR RAM and perhaps a few bucks in your pocket?

you fully deserve it Douog. Thanks! (bugger. I only just sent off my signature yesterday and obviously I'm too to get it on the shirt! it's my fault for taking to long sorry)

SOLD! (on another forums) took all of 3 mins.

2 x 512MB Elixir PC2700 DDR DIMMS - I've had this RAM to 180MHz in dual channel mode (nForce2), using SPD timings. didn't try overclocking a singular DIMM. I doubt it will do CAS2 at 180MHz but then again it's not XMS 2700 is it :p. having said that the nForce2 chipset is notoriously...

I managed to get my 1800+ to 2083MHz (2600+) @ 1.825V. temp under full appears to be 49C, even on a very hot day,. I can’t see it getting much over 60C, if at all. considering that a 1800+ is less than 30% the price of a 2600+, I'm quite pleased

I know I am, it's the when that I don't know.

OK thanks. I'll give it a go soon. looks like I'll be fine since I won't be going over 1.85v or 60C under load, which ever comes 1st.

I want to start seeing just how far I can push my current 1800+ 'b' Athlon. currently I have it running @ 2071MHz (166MHz FSB x 12.5) on 1.725v max temp is 46C. I'm going to start raising the FSB next and presumably as I do so I'll need to up the voltage on the CPU. with regards to voltage; is...

whilst honold is having a good time with his new car, I'm having considerable grief with my car. I managed to blow up another gearbox Friday afternoon :( I run a latemodel alloy case Supra 5 speed, and as nice and strong a gearbox as they are, it's always been a bit borderline as to wheher it...

congrats honold, lovely car. how do you find it's power & handling so far?

I know what's mystical around here...

how on earth is it possible to ressurect a people that were wiped out in the 19th century? it's not. nor is anyone trying to either.

I have faith that this will be overcome :)

should read ( currently US$98 )

I agree the AK32A is a bargain to be had. AU$90 here in Oz (currently US$54) as for new-beaut mobo's, the Soltek Sl-75FRN-L is terrific value imho. with an nForce2 chipset w/dual channel memory of course, USB2, LAN & onboard sound, it can be had for AU$165 here in Oz (currently US$98)

it is for me since I don't have a mass amount of large files to back up. 5 DVD's holds all I want saved. I do one a DVD backup a week and just rotate through the backup set.

my concern for reliabilty has lessened now that I have a DVD burner to do large backups on. perhaps others have, since the IBM 75GXP scare, implemented better and/or more regular back-up schemes as well.

was it a nasty, evil, heavily moustached cat?

I voted 15ms access, 40K STR, 250GB.

in regards to the 1st night of the "shock & awe" I heard by a senior NBC reporter earlier today say: aren't the 'coalition' forces supposed to be there to liberate the Iraqi people from Hussein regime? no, it's about oil ... yet few from the US seem to believe that so that makes it not true I...

of course not all, I'd think you'd have to put aside atleast a few MB to store your pr0n file database :P

I'm very sorry James, I just sold it earlier this week. I should have closed it immediately.

James, I've seen a few polls with close to 50-50% support for the war now in progress.

those polls have only just started to show a roughly 50-50 results. the reason they have changed is because when it became clear that Howard was going to blindlingy follow Bush into war, people are moving into the mindset that supporting the war will end it sooner. personally I'm ashamed of all...

Doug, almost all overseas sites :( apparenltly it's a local routing issue although my home provider and works are on compitung networks do I don't see how it can be called local. any othr find overseas sites slow? I edited a post at the start of thread and it didn't mark it as edited...

I recently had a hard 'fang' in a worked Nissan R32 GT-R. I don't know if you have them over in the States, they are a special non-factory import here. they run a sequential twin turbo 2.6 straight six and a reasonably sophisticated RWD/AWD setup usually running 100% to the rear but capable of...

honold, not weird, FRUSTRATING! :evil: I'm suffering from an incredibly slow connection both at work and home now too... this is causing double posts and all sorts problems. typically, I'll go to delete them, I'll get a timeout, make a cup of coffee, swear a bit , repost to come back and find...

I'm normally not a fan of Mustangs either however on my last trip to the US ('99 I think), I had to commute between LA and San Diego quite a few times so my work gave me a then current model 5.0 topless Mustang to make the trips a it a little more fun. I made the effort to oblige them and...

you know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, France is accusing the US of arrogance, and Germany doesn't want to go to war...

presuming of course that thay want to be liberated.

*shakes head* even that question is wrong!

well constructed Cliwell sorry Howtin er... :) Handruin, feathering takes time and is not conducive to racing! in fact proper competition transmissions have straight-cut gears and no syncros allowing for fast, almost clutchless changes. of course a a competition g'box doesn't have to deal with...

correct, it is not recommended however it an be done safely once "mastered".

lol Buck :) a minor addendum: "...and be able to handle significant amount of shock loading"

all terms are in relatioln to manual transmissions. feathering is simply being steady and gently progressive with clutch engagement and release. too much feathering is known as "riding the clutch". double-clutching is in reference to down-shifting. the idea is to raise engine speed (rpm)...

linky here (132KB).

you're talking about double-clutching and for your average g'box, car it really isn't necessary. if you need to feather the clutch in a lot, then perhaps you're shifting too early.

I'm wondering teh same things. did you notice though that it supposedly supports a 400MHz FSB? is there a 400MHz FSB CPU on AMD's roadmap?

acording to the vr-zone: there's nothing more on their site but here's the link anyway: http://www.vr-zone.com/#2898

well, can I say "sort of" my canine buddy? the improvements you felt in the 1>2 gear is due to a load reduction on the diff end of the g/box. as you know, your engine and g/box are locked in alignment. with the stock stock engine mounts, your engine and hence your g'box, would twist a certain...

huh? transmissions or gearboxes are always held exactly inline with the engine by way of the bellhousing. flexible engine mounts are used to allow an engine some movement without putting too much stress on what would be otherwise solid mounts which in turn would inrtoduce vibration and noise.

next time make sure you win Liam :P shame you had to pass on that car.

btw, I agree with Tannin in regards to the placement of this thread. I'll move it to the P&B soon and rename it "Ever wanted to know the thoughts of car fans?". objections?
