How about one of the free hard drive programs available From Maxtor, WD, etc. Don't most of these have a utility to transfer everything from the old hard drive to the new hard drive? Bozo :mrgrn:

What I would like to see is a AGP card with all the new GPUs on it. Bozo :mrgrn:

I thought the AMD site had links to system builders. I'll look as soon as I get a chance. Bozo :mrgrn:

Well, there goes another good company (Veritas) down the tubes at the hands of Norton Bozo :mrgrn:

Looks like lost data going some where to crash Bozo :mrgrn:

that everone involved with the design of the SATA connectors gets gang-green in their testicles. Bozo :x

Time: I'm just going through all the options. Besides, it sounds like this is some sort of business. You can't make money if your employees are sitting around waiting on the server to come back online. As far a RAID goes, RAID 5 is the most cost effective way of having a large amount of storage...

Actually it sounds like you need to build two servers. They could be run as a cluster ( Sever 2003 needs the corrct hardware for this), distributed file system, or two servers using file replication with one being the backup server. If you need 1Tb of storage space, the cost effective route is...

From my experiance, SQL server uses gobs of memory. I would figure at least 2GB of ECC memory. Bozo :mrgrn:

Isn't heffer a cow??? Bozo :mrgrn:

The fan that I used runs at 2700RPM, which is rather quiet. I can also have the motherboard regulate the fan speed based on CPU temperature. I did run F@H for a day but didn't get the memory usage I was looking for. Bozo :mrgrn:

Kernal; korn ??? Is this an agriculture class :wink: Bozo :mrgrn:

FYI: I recently installed a Thermoright XP-90 with a 92mm Antec fan on one of my Prescott P4s. It reduced the temperature of the P4 by ~14C. This was tested buy running two sessions of Prime95. These heatsinks also fit AMD CPUs. Bozo :mrgrn:

Back in early 2000 I purchased two IBM 75 GXPs and a 3Ware RAID card. I set the drives up in RAID 0 for file storage. This IBM/3Ware setup has been installed in at least 3 different motherboards and been used with numerous operating systems. I've never lost any data or had to rebuild the array...

One other thing How do I add/change hardware Bozo :mrgrn:

I'd want to know: (as a Windows users first crack at Linux) How do I install Linux How do I adjust the monitor to my liking How do I connect to a network How do I connect to the Internet How do I install/remove programs Does Linux have utilities like Defrag and chkdsk I'd avoid the command...

Is anyone using Vonage phone service? Opinions??? Thanks, Bozo :mrgrn:

Spent a day or so playing with this hack. Observations: I doesn't work well with IDE drives (DUH) Copying the files from 2003 Server don't work, even hacked. The RAID 5 is sloooow. Installing SP 2 wipes out the RAID 5 setup as it overwrites some of the hacked files. After a reboot or cold...

I haven't any problems with any of the Plextors I've bought. Bozo :mrgrn:

Actually, it wouldn't be 'reverse engineering' but 'forward engineering'. It's something that should have shipped with XP Pro anyway. Copying the files from Server 2003 doesn't work. :cry: Also, it doesn't work well with a Promise Ultra 100 and 4 IDE drives either. Bozo :mrgrn:

You can use Norton, but then you'll need to do a complete reinstall when it's done trashing your system. Bozo :mrgrn:

How about the Google desktop search program? Bozo :mrgrn:

It would be easier if you don't have the software to hack the XP files. Or are not comfortable with a Hex editor.. I have access to both so I might give both ways a try. Bozo :mrgrn:

Interesting. I wonder if those files could be copied from 2003 Server and installed? Bozo :mrgrn:

The white thing on the rear of the case is a storage area for screws and the PCI slot covers. Bozo :mrgrn:

Is it posible that some of the problems with CD/DVD burners is dirt? How do you clean the laser? Bozo :mrgrn:

I had two P4 prescotts running two sessions of folding each until I got the electric bill. :o Now I only run them when I'm actually on them. :( Bozo :mrgrn:

Hmmmm...I don't think I ever read anywhere that P4s are capable of running in multi-processor mode. Could be a good reason no one makes a dual P4 motherboard. :o Bozo :mrgrn:

Does anybody know of a Dual P4 motherboard? I have two Prescott P4s and I thought they would be great in a dual motherboard. The only motherboards I've found are for P4 Xeons. Besides, it's winter here and I could heat the house with them :lol: Bozo :mrgrn:

Anything but a Dell. Dell= proprietarty hardware, propietary software, shitty support from Bangladesh, not easliy upgraded or changed: You don't even get a Windows disk, just a restore disk with a lot of crap on it. Try doing a Windows repair with that. Build your own. At least that way...

If it's Intel then the P4 is the best value. I believe all P4s are HT enabled. Intel makes some reasonable motherboards with 800MHz FSB and onboard video and sound. Stability is paramount with these motherboards. P4 2.8c Northwood $181.00 The Northwood are NOT the room heaters) Intel...

How did Valve get those numbers? From the registration/activation process? Bozo :mrgrn:

It has to be activated like Windows XP???? And Turbo-Tax (last year)??? I'll pass. I'm going to try and maintain control of MY computer as long as I can. Bozo :mrgrn:

Crystalcpuid ??? Bozo :mrgrn:

You took my statement bass-ackwards. NTFS is a much more robust system and usually doesn't require a disk check after a crash. One of my test during the XP beta was to copy a large file from one partition to another, and pull the power cord out of the power supply. The system always came back...

I did the online RMA on WDs site. All the drives that I buy are barebones (OEM) drives. Usually they come from an online retailer like Newegg. Bozo :mrgrn:

The one difference that I've noticed between FAT32 and NTFS is the way they handle crashes. If a FAT32 system crashes and it manages to reboot, it usually does a disk check. If a NTFS system crashes, it usually just boots back up. Bozo :mrgrn:

The connector is not WDs fault. That's the new standard. All SATA drives use the same connector. I RMA'd two drives to WD for the broken connector. Both were replaced. Bozo :mrgrn:

I found this console in Radio Shack of all places. But that was some time ago. Bozo :mrgrn:

It's not VoIP, but a while back I was looking at a base station that you put your cell phone in and then connected the base station to your house telephone system. Your cell phone then became your house phone too. If you were leaving the house, just take the phone with you. You could then get...

A new version of FireFox is out http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20041027-4355.html Bozo :mrgrn:

The CPU I was pulling out was a Precott. I wonder if the absurd amount of heat from the CPU caused the thermal paste to glue things together :?: Bozo :mrgrn:

My worst disaster didn't involve a power supply, but the CPU. I was trying to change the heat sink on a P4 3.0GHz CPU. The original heat sink was installed with a generic white heat sink paste. Apparently it glued the heat sink to the CPU and when I went to pull it off, the CPU came out with it...

The pathetically slow box that I have folding managed to loose two days of work. :cry: I'll keep plugging away at it. Bozo :mrgrn:

I used a program called Intervideo. But I must be going brain dead as I don't remember any of the details. Bozo :mrgrn:

The ATI card that I have is the lower (~$40) priced model. Almost a year old now. The higher priced card came with a remote control. As far as software goes, I havn't used the card/software in some time now and I forget what/how I converted from VHS to DVD. When I get home I'll check the box...

In our discussions we've decided to put access points in a more-or-less line of sight pattern. I'm wondering; if you could see the radio waves coming from an access point, would they be like a ball or a plate around the antenna? Bozo :mrgrn:

What was the last Drive Image version that let you make images from floppies? Bozo :mrgrn:
