just too much to read atm, so I've skimmed,. sorry if I repeat something that’s already been said. driving wheels and performance: on solid surfaces RWD is better than FWD, and a few AWD systems are better again. Nissan's ATTESA is a decent implementation, Subaru's AWD not so. for loose...

my god, a nice long thread about cars, fast cars and handling indeed and I've missed it until now? dagnabbit, I've got a lot ot reading to do!

well there goes that theory :roll:

did you take the HS off the board to change the fans?

how is this Shuttle's fault Merc? AK32L - KT266 was replaced by the AK32A - KT266a both boards are available with 2 x SDR & 2 x DDR slots. I have no idea what you have Merc, perhaps it's a "budget" AK32A? does it only have 2 or or 4 DDR slots?

I second the motion for the the AK32... for the price it is a great board indeed. Mine was very stable with 1GB SDRAM and a highly overclocked Pal AthlonXP. the only problem is that it doesn't support 4 rows of DDR. I stuck two 512MB DDR sticks in it and it saw only 768MB. if you do get one...

AU$250 anyone?

... I wouldn't label them premium

btw, for a budget PSU I've found the Codegens available locally are quite acceptable, in fact, I'm very impressed them. before having used them, I didn't think that much of them other then they were a nicely priced for a 'value' PSU. a 450Watter can be had for as cheap as AU$65. I had a 450W...

I just purchased an Antec TruePower 480W today. I chose the Antec based on about 3 hours web research. of all the reviews and usenet articles I read on Antec, Enermax, Vantec, Sparkle (Topower), ThermalTake, Codegen, Leadman & JustCooler, the Antec TruePower line of PSU's consistently got good...

yes XP drivers are available for this card. it also, so I am told, will run with LSI and AMI's BIOSes.

eeek, major typos in my last post :oops: OK, thanks for the info Merc. it looks like I'm risking buying into some dissapointment if I go ahead. I'd rather miss out than have hassles and/or disappointmemts.

thanks for the reply Merc. could you please elaborate on "weirdo Compaq drive BIOSes"? is there a chance that these drive may not be recognose or not perform at their optimum because of theit "weirdo BIOSes"?

I'm looking at purchasing a Dell PERC3/DCL dual channel U/160 card (w/ 64MB ECC) and two new Compaq branded 36GB Cheetahs (ES). the Dell card is a rebadged LSI Logic/AMI Megaraid Elite 1600(493) card. it's specs read that it's a 66MHz/64-but card but I'm told by the seller that it works in a...

thanks for the lesson blakerwry, I've done exactly as you've said but still no audio :( I save the d2v, some processing occurs but no wav file is generated.

no worries :) since you have more than twice the amount of active folders that we do, we may as well step aside. be mindful though that if we have all the folders that you guys have, we'd be making puppy mince outta the LWD :P best of luck!

Shuttle AK32 rev 2.1 motherboard - supports SDR & DDR RAM. Latest BIOS revision supports XP T'breds up to 2600+ (see CPU support list). Product brochure here. Have box, manuals and cables. ThermoSonic Black ThermoEngine HSF with Sunon 60mmx25mm fan. With this fan it works very well, easily as...

who knows Tannin, perhaps they're in cahoots with the Tassie Tigers and there's plenty of them in hiding... :roll:

thanks for all the tips guys. I've had a go at most of the tools suggested but so far I've not been able to rip any audio along with the video. most of the tools have something like a "don't decode audio" radio button which is selected and all other audio setting selections are greyed-out. what...

I'm thinking about putting my meagre collection of DVD's into disk. I've had a look around and tried some demo's of rippers but I'm not happy with the results. I've seen DivX rips of DVD that were fantastic quality. my efforts have been far from fantastic, even if I configer the DivX encoder to...

that is truly sad... our 'leader' here in in Oz is saying the same idiotic type things. despite the fact that every opinion poll done in the last month, consistantly saying that the people would approve of UN sactioned military action ONLY, Howard yesterday came out with the comment that he's...

is that a good thing or a bad thing? my experience with this board has been nothing but great. I bought the AK32L (v2.1) as a spare mobo because it was cheap and supported both SDR & DDR. I ended up giving it a go for what I thought would be a week or two ... that was 8 months ago. I must say...

thought this would be worth a shot: for sale for trade: Compaq T1000h UPS in good condition. Power capabilities: 1000 VoltAmps Features: Mains power surge supressing Sine wave shaping Battery backup Serial communications Network transient protector (Network circuitry protection) Battery...

sounds like Sovereign Hill is the place for them Tannin :P

why not work on both, or at least on "Why the US is a target for terrorism attacks"?

Clippy's moved to #131 over all now... good stuff everyone :)

how about 5 jokes, once a week? 5 a day is too 'spammy' :wink:

cool, lets go! :)

this years release of .Net has been offically renamed Windows Server 2003. if that what you see, then yuo have the latest candidate. btw, doesn't it annoy you that M$ call it a RC when it's obviously not a candidate for a GA release?

as good as HP and Compaq are, surely the best of the best must be; Packard Bell?

woops, I somehow missed you've already asked about the 9000 pro! well, at least I found a cheap one for you :roll:

what about a 9000 pro? are they any good? www.eyo.com.au have them for AUD$192.50

thought I'd contribute a revised word of my own:

receives this gem of an e-mail form a colleague today:

James, a few places still have GF3 in stock. I just had a quick a scan at the distributors/wholesalers I buy shows they don't have stock anymore but I'm told some of the smaller retailers still will. I'm pretty sure GF3Ti200 can be had for under $200, not sure about the Ti500 though. both GF3's...

I can only suggest that the issue Merc is having with TNT2 is not related to the card itself rather a mobo, PSU or some other problem that is killing the vid cards. going by my own experiences and those of our largish MIS dept here at work, the TNT2 M64 is the single most reliable card either...

I'd be getting the TNT-M64 too. they can be had for under $50 as as Tannin has already mentioned, they always work.

my personal opinion: if you want something to look and behave XP, then run XP.

agreed. it's not my spelling that is my issue, it's my atrocious typing and the fact that I sometimes don't check read it before I post. I've got to get into a habit of doing that every time...

considering my hopless typing skill, I still find it considerably annoying that I typed condioering instead of considering.

heh, I was condioering adding them to the forum I run but wasn't sure.. now I will! thanks Doug

aaarg, please ignore my many typos in my post above... I know they're there.

Giver, my point was that Prof Dr.Siegwart-Horst Günther is a man of professional and well respected standing in the scientific community and being nominated for a Nobel Prize does give him credibility wouldn't you say. so, having a resected opinion as he would have, how then can anyone here...

fair enough blakerwry, it's your prerogative to 'guess' that he's a scientist, to 'guess' that the book contains data gathered himself and 'guess' he uses correlational methods to conclude a result. it’s also my prerogative to consult my wife (Kirsty), who's a microbiologist with 2 years...

does he have any file encryption or compression running uilities?

although this is obviously directed at our resident 'mercans; and despite the fact that I'm an Aussie in my early 30's, I thought I'd give it a go anyhoo. 4, 6, 17, 19, 22, 23, 27. did I score well dad?

regardless of the fact those particular babies shown in those particular images were or were not deformed from being exposed to DU, it has been medically proven that fired DU round can cause such horrendous deformations to the human fetus. see: “URANIUM PROJECTILES - SEVERELY MAIMED SOLDIERS...
