Apparently we in the Great Southern Land are in for a treat tonight (Wed 10/11/2004) http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200411/s1239766.htm

:rofl:

This is simple to make, but the cutting up is a bit of a pain. Good for three or four. Bit of a fave. It's not too hot, but you could easily leave out the chilli. Spicy sausage pasta with tomato, chilli, shallots & cheese 2 Chorizos (spicy Spanish sausage). Slice. Dice (small cubes) two...

Cr*p! And I can't afford a FX-55 or duallie :( I did drop the Motion Search Precision and set the Aspect ratio to the correct setting which has helped somewhat, so a 43 min AVI will now only take around 1:50 :-? Thanks for the feedback oh guru of knowledge :cheers:

BTW, this is on a s754 Athlon 2800+ @ 2.43 GHz. 512MB PC3200 (Corsair XMS3200-LL). The vid card is a Radeon 9550.

I'm using it to convert an AVI file to SVCD to play on the TV. The encoder in use is TMPGEnc, and the AVI file needs the XViD codec to be playable. My question is, this 48 min AVI has taken nearly 2 hours to process 25%. Is this normal? I'm after quality. Is there a better way to do this...

Memory failures Any error is bad news. Are you running overclocked/aggressive memory settings? If you aren't, run memtest with a single DIMM and see if you get errors. If you do, swap the same stick into another socket. Run memtest again. If you still get memory errors, you probably have...

Piyono, in three words: Microsoft crap coding. There are all sorts of non-blocking agorithms to use when doing I/O in modern operating systems, but this issue has plagued Windows from day 1. Users of dual systems don't complain (as you have a free processor to service requests), and I...

Vomit box. May I suggest running over it with a M1Ax/Challenger 2/Leopard2/T-90 MBT?

Is it safe to install, no major gotcha's? I guess I'm getting a little gun shy in my old age. :eekers: Software "upgrades" have burnt me too many times...

Bartender, a tiple for the hairy one, and drinks for the bar please. I'll have a Balvenie Double Wood thanks. Merc, your posts are always worth reading

Heh, if i make it to a thousand, can I have a pom-pom girl? Make it a whole cheer squad in fact--though it would probably kill me :mrgrn:

I just checked out a vendor here in Aus, and they list a 7000 AlCu, 7000A AlCu, & 7000B AlCu. What are the differences? Is one better than the other?

Picked up a Abit KV8Pro. Had some issues with o/cing initially as this is my first foray into Athlon 64 land. Picked up a 2800+ as a stop gap--but the merchant pulled a swifty and I ended up with a C0 stepping. Currently it is running @ 2430 Mhz on a 270MHz bus, stock cooler and stock voltage...

Heh! A64 4000+ 939 2.4GHz 1MB $729 A64 FX53 940 2.4GHz 1MB $827 And the difference is? Why would anyone buy the FX53? (Even though it wll be discontinued)

Good to see some reliable numbers. Mind you, AMD's 90nm process is late, so I suspect AMD were better at keeping problems under wraps until they fixed them (I do hear that they had issues with their first attempts at 90nm SOI)--keeps the 'street happy I guess. Time, that sig is so funny!

My understanding of the 90nm 939 chips is this. Model 3000+ s754 = 512KB cache/2.0Ghz/1 memory channel Model 3000+ s939 = 512KB cache/1.8Ghz/2 memory channels s939 chips will be 200MHz slower than s754 chips. By the time 754 EOL's, PCI-e/DDR2 will be the flavour, so buying a s939 board now...

Hey thanks guys--really useful stuff. Time I am :) I did not know this about C 'N' Q. Thanks. All the old 1MB parts were C0. All the 512KB models are CG. But AMD does list a 1MB CG part in their OPN guide. Mercutio wrote: Thank you. Very much appreciated.

Another question, do any of you resellers know if AMD are making s754 2.0GHz 1MB cache Athlon 64's anymore? Are they readily available or rare? I can find lots of 2.2GHz/512KB versions--but I don't want one.

Time, thanks for the info. I will probably try to pick up the Gigabyte board this weekend. I've seen the K8NS for AU$170. The Pro only adds RAID and Gig-E LAN doesn't it? Both of which I don't need. I don't suppose you know whether the board supports Cool 'N' Quiet do you? According to...

Minor nitpick. Lawyers and consultants are bandits :)

I am thinking of grabbing a S754 mobo and want one that is overclocking friendly--but on a budget. I have always tended to use EPoX or Abit, but their boards tend to be at the high end. What I would prefer VIA K8T800/Pro chipset or NVIDIA nForce3 250. BIOS adjustable bus speeds in 1 MHz...

Time, the GB board has the correct chipset for Gig-E LAN, but the manufacturer only equips it for use as a 10/100 LAN connection. My reading of H's post was that he was looking for a S939 solution with Gig-E. The GigaByte board doesn't have it. Or did I read it wrong?

I don't think I'll usurp "Bill" as a nick, it might upset a few of the old-timers! :lol: Says he who just celebrated his 42nd (21 again--woohoo!) Hi Tony. Yep. Sent it off about a 6 months ago to a worthy home. It was a fine machine. Up there with one of the best machines that I've owned...

Hi all, Bill will do fine--LiamC just came about because I needed a DJ nick many years ago and i used it online then--maybe I need a new nick. Suggestions? PS thanks for the info blakerwry

I found this post over on Ace's about SATA-2. The answer from Maxtor seems a little disturbing. This could be another case of marketing triumphing over truth. Basically it is saying that parts (all?) of the SATA-2 spec are optional--like support for faster transfers etc. I realise that at...

Just thought I'd drop a link to some unofficial builds--optimised for various platforms. The official builds carry no platform specific optimisations. These builds are slightly larger in size, but the speed seems better. I have tried out the P4 (SSE2), P!!! and the Athlon versions. Note...

Buck, unsure--the guy is 1400 Km away from me. All I know is that it is an ASUS Intel board.

Tea, as usual, you are a gem! I must be getting slow in my old age--if I'd had the box in front of me, I may have eventually thought of that.

I have been trying to help a guy at work with a WD SATA HD issue--80GB JB. Basically, Windows XP will not install on the drive. It (XP) tries to create a 8GB partition to install on, gets partway through and then cannot recognise the drive (Intel i815 mobo). After suggestion running...

I must say that 0.91 seems significantly snappier than 0.8. Faster to load as well.

JoJo, this link has all the broadband options for each city listed so you can do a comparison based on cost/speed/download usage/contract length etc. http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/ It is updated regularly. Don't forget to check on "Setup" fees, this can change the cost of a twelve month...

To drag this back on topic http://www.baen.com/library/ Read the "why", on the linked page. Makes sense to me. I've just downloaded & printed the two "Honor Harrington", novels by David Weber, and it worked, I'm going to hunt down the rest of the series. I haven't read classic sci-fi in a...

Thank you all. Most helpful.

Seems OK now

Does anybody know of a monitoring utility like Task Manager for Windows 98? Basically I want to see a list of running processes and what's chewing up cycles. As I'll only use this once, if it's free or shareware, it would be a bonus. TIA

Why is SuperMicro looked upon so highly? My only dealings with them were in the '95~'97 timeframe where I had four HX, VX, TX based boards from them, and all four failed within the warranty period. I have never had any other motherboard from any other manufacturer fail on me before or since.

Thanks for the suggestions Will. I already have the XSLT PR 2nd ed. Buck good link. Handy, yeah XSL can loop & count, but it is eluding me at the mo. I am a lot closer though.

Me 3 (if you need coding help). Clocker, I wish I had meetings that didn't start until the sixth or seventh beer... :D

I seem to need a lot of help these days—or SF is a really good resource :wink: I need to create a HTML document from XML/XSL/XSLT, but the HTML needs to create a variable number of <div> tags—that can be hidden or displayed (via Javascript) when a user clicks on an object (small gif). Does...

D'OH! I bow to your superior wisdom :oops:

Thanks again - kind of defeats the purpose of DHCP though. I might go static.

Thanks. At the moment, I have the machines use SmoothWall's DHCP server to obtain their IP. How do I "reserve" an IP for a particular machine?

Hi all, I've had SmoothWall up and running for a week now and things are going well. eMule tells me I need to open some ports on a firewall (if I have one) to work properly. Can someone give me some pointers on how to open a port. Do I even need to do this? Is it risky? According to eMule...

Thank you Merc

EFS? What's that Merc? Thanks for the pointer.
