I have tried all sorts of timing settings and still can't get it stable with all four at DDR400. I am done messing around, going to get some Corsair TWINX2048-3200C2 2GB Kit DDR400 XMS3200 (2-3-3-6), $196 after a Corsair rebate at zipzoomfly. Pretty good buy IMO. Lesson learned: AMD has...

Well it failed again, this time with only 11 errors. I then noticed that in manual mode the BIOS set the TRas to 7 instead of the rated 8. I changed that to 8 and retested, now came back with 26 errors in test #6. I guess I need to go read the BIOS guide to learn what all these mean and where to...

Actually the CPU is an A64 San Diego core 3700+ (single core), sorry I left that bit out. It is fairly new, like within a couple months. Motherboard is also running the F7 (latest) BIOS. It's a new day now, I put it to CAS3 and DDR400 and am retesting now.

I have a fairly new system here and I added some memory to it recently and had a couple crashes. Some testing revealed that it failed memtest86 on test 6 with 20 or so errors. I noticed that when I added the second two memory modules the BIOS automatically selected DDR333, I overrode that...

I mainly only use DVD decryptor, FYI it hit end of life at 3.5.4.0 when they got sued (Sony I think) and shut down. I also used DVD shrink 3.1 (old) just fine to fit to a single layer disk when I didn't care about quality, it's fast and easy. Otherwise I am using the big three method...

What version of Nero are you using? I believe in version 7 and above it places the layer break automatically at a chapter change? I remember reading that was a new feature somewhere. Not sure, I haven't done much experimentation with dual layer. Also I assume you are playing this back on your...

I cancelled my order today, exactly one calendar month after I placed the order. I emailed them a couple times earlier in the week and I was pretty put off by them closing the onlineorders@adaptecstore.com email account (everything bounces, but in December it worked). They have another contact...

They do, who is that then? I have only recently RMA'd drives to Seagate and Samsung and they didn't ask. WD didn't used to ask either but I havn't asked them for an RMA in a couple years.

Good suggestions. The part that gets me is that with the keyboard support enabled in the BIOS I can nagigate the BIOS with the KVM and even use the keyboard and mouse with Partition Magic rescue disks or Ghost boot floppys. I believe this is telling me it's not a hardware problem. Nvidia's...

OK, Connect to windows update to check for newer, install automatically etc, I get it now. Not one device under there had a response different than windows could not find a better match for your device etc. Maybe I should have mentioned I have already gone through windows update.

This is what I am looking at Bozo, I don't see anything asking for a driver. Maybe an update but I am not aware of any. http://scottjal.ath.cx:85/ebay/Device%20manager.JPG

I must have finger fumbled the AC97 disable, was still enabled in BIOS so that's what it was trying to do. As far as the USB add in card the solution was to pull it out completely, boot up show windows what it looked like without it, shut down add it back in and then it worked again. So now...

Well I updated the BIOS to the F7, loaded BIOS defaults, diabled the AC97 along with the serial and paralell ports, just like I had it before. Had no effect on my being able to use the KVM on the motherboard headers, acts the same. Now for some reason Windows is asking to load audio drivers and...

You refering to the chipset USB drivers from the nvidia package? They show installed, no question marks in device manager.

It is XP SP2. You are refering to the mouse drivers or something for the KVM here? Thank you all.

Bozo: Actually I don't load the software for the MX1000, I just used it as is. Only keys I cared about was the back forward and the side scrolling, which worked by the way. I am now using a Microsoft Explorer 3.0 and all the buttons work on that too, so I am happy. Device manager calls it a HID...

Got my new Gigabyte K8N-SLI PRO and am having lots of problems trying to get my USB based KVM to work with it. I need suggestions on how to get to Nvidia to get a working windows driver, but I can't see a way for an end user to submit problems with their chipsets or drivers. They require you to...

With my humble experience I am going to second that. I had several intel boards and they were great. Supermicro also. In my opinion a good quality consumer/desktop level motherboard vendor is what's holding AMD up at the moment. It's also a shame they don't make their own chipsets either...

Anyone tried to contact them lately, my emails to onlineorders@adaptecstore.com keep getting bounced as undeliverable.

These are still available: Heatsink $15: Alpha PAL8942, for Pentium 4 Socket 478. Copper and aluminum construction, uses 80mm fan. All the little screws springs and plastic washers required for mounting are included. Heatsink has a couple bent fins and you can tell the hardware has been used a...

I think it depends if the manufacturer put a SPD table in the memory for the lower speed with a lower CAS latency for that speed. Otherwise I believe it will use the higher speeds SPD table. If the system BIOS is doing it's job correctly it will compare the two relevent tables and select the one...

Basically it went like this, I load the forum which takes a long time and when I get there I notice I am not logged in again. Go to login and after entering my user and pass it would sit there for a while and then after some time it will log me in and I can see the forum. It did not clear my...

Just had a bout of the page taking forever (30 seconds or so?) to load and the first time it did it asked me to log in again.

Everyone had a bad day. But on a positive note, I like my Gigabyte K8N Pro and their Tech Support weenies are working on my KVM issue actively. I don't hope for a solution but they are coming up with good suggestions so they aren't brain dead at the keyboard.

Don't it suck that you can't edit your posts here?

Sounds good to me.

And this, only upside down so heat can rise off the video card: http://www.computerbase.de/bild/news/10390/5/

Wasn't BTX supposed to do this? http://img.hexus.net/v2/misc/intelbtx/images/layout_big.jpg http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=991&page=2

I don't think that's the KVM's fault, PS/2 isn't hot pluggable. I am starting to have evil thoughts, this could be just the kick in the but I need to go to a LCD with DVI.

Well, personally, I am looking to go back to PS/2 for my KVM. For me the Aten CS-914 looks good. Of course no one sells the thing it looks like. I have Gigabyte (my motherboard manufacturer) looking into a new USB driver to correct the problem I am having. There may be a solution down that...

Seeing as this popped back up I am going to post my experience with the IOgear GCS1734: -Video quality pass through is very good, sharp picture at 1600x1200@85Hz. -Special extra buttons on mice pass through fine, but I can't use the speaker controls on my Saitek Eclipse keyboard for some...

Bundle is sold.

I had to blow away my SF cookies to log back in with firefox 1.5.

I hope they release a cheaper version for normal people. Or hopefully my 15k.4's get here soon!

The CS droids might not know what's back ordered, or it keeps changing. When they called me after I placed my order to tell me it was out of stock they offered to ship the drives. They never did of course so I emailed them to ask about that and they replied it makes no sense to split ship as you...

LOL, old hat its been done for RAID 5: http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustRatingReview.asp?DEPA=0&item=15-124-020 I thought I was on to something but as usual I'm just trailing behind.

Another: Zalman ZM80A-HP video card passive cooler, great for a HTPC. Retail package, all screws hardware etc included. http://scottjal.ath.cx:85/ebay/Zalman.JPG $10 plus shipping. I was using this on a ATI Radeon 9700, but just about any other type of videocard is compatible as long as it...

Very interesting, so theoretically you could get a cheap add-in card flash it with the RAID BIOS and get a super cheap (and not to great performing) RAID controller? That reminds me of the good old days with the Promise Ultra to Fasttrak hack on the 66 and 100 controllers. What was your add...

Sold, thank you.

Fourths. Maybe 06 will look up but I am not holding my breath.

One more: Logitech MX1000 wireless laser mouse - Used long enough to realize it's not compatible with my KVM switch. Complete with all retail acessories and box. $38 plus shipping. If no responses it goes on ebay Sunday afternoon.

Over the last couple years I have collected a small army of stuff that I will likely never use again as everything seems to be on the motherboard now. Everything here was known to work fine when I pulled them (notes below) and I have good habits with grounding, static bags etc. I buy/sell stuff...

+1 on the thumb drive. They are irreplaceable these days, if not using them already you will wonder what you did before you had it. Of course anything important save it in more than one place in case you loose the little bugger.

If I think back I think the BH6 was my first ABIT and should have been my last. I had a Celeron 300A in it doing 464MHz, was very happy with that. Then I moved on to AMD with some ABIT motherboards of the KT133 series that had the 686b southbridge soundblaster bug, totally frustrating, but to be...

Oh lovely, fb. I wish the Tyan Tomcat K8E-SLI (S2866) was available. Supermicro, my current favorite, continues to shun AMD.

Explorer: Hey that's a Liebert 600 series UPS, that's some serious stuff. I work for liebert in their monitoring division, where are you, it's possible we have met at some time.
