Yep, it is verified.

Yeah, but socket-370 seems to have been more affected. I sometimes see working socket-A boards of that period, but working s-370 is rarer than Pope's shit. I assembled a PII 266MHz on a 440LX board today (I REALLY had nothing to do). I wish I could also have found a nest for its younger siblings.

And Tony no longer visits because he got pissed against our members who feel they aren't concerned about global warming, fossil fuel consumption and responsible behavior towards the environment. He was tired to tell them to get a clue and I can't blame him. I miss Groltz too.

How much would be the shipping from North America to Bucalan? I would be very surprised if sending a 25lbs box over there would cost less than 50U$. It might be less per PC if enough would be packed on a palet and wrapped up together. A random thought : here a basic computer is called a...

http://www.heise.de/preisvergleich/a260325.html http://www.heise.de/preisvergleich/a260889.html No press release yet. Only listed on a few European web sites. Two variants exist, one with 16MB cache (HD102UJ), another with 32MB cache (HD103UJ). The marketing name will be SpinPoint F1...

While Eugene's conclusions can sometimes be debated, he is certainly easier to read. I like what he brings to us. It may not be perfect, but nothing is and we wouldn't get a reliable comparison otherwise. If you can't smell the writing, at the very least you can browse through the database...

I have a bunch of old socket-370 processors watching dust covers them. Why? Because all the used motherboards using s370 I cross are dead. Blown capacitors and capout BIOS on each and everyone of those. I often see perfectly working socket 7, socket A, Slot 1, Slot A motherboards. But s370...

It was a 4-place Piper. Don't ask me about the engine or the mecanics of the plane, I have no idea.

The 7800GS is the fastest Nvidia AGP card. It is 20% slower than a similarly priced Radeon X1950 Pro AGP. I hope the HD 2600XT will be faster than a X1950 Pro, but I have seen no benchmark yet.

Nope. I pay for the stuff my temper breaks. I don't complain at the manufacturer that its stuff wasn't Coug-proof. Nothing is. I would probably manage to demolish a tank if I'd get pissed at it (What's that crappy handling? No rear mirror? Damn P.O.S!). On an unrelated note, I flew a...

It's nice to see your contribution increase. However, Fbostrom seems to experience difficulties of some sort this week. His production is about two and a half times lower than it was up to last week.

Seagate has started to ship their 1TB offspring. Or so they say.

And switching keyboard layout doesn't change the keys when you're changing the name of system files. It works (sometimes) inside applications, but not always. What a bunch of stupid morons can screw up something as basic as keyboard layouts, especially when it used to work flawless in previous...

I've spent more time testing Vista today. Vista isn't bad...Vista is a disaster! A waste of otherwise useful space on a hard drive. It is, as an operating system, what Bush is as a U.S. President. Awful. Horrible. Distasteful. Shameful. An utter and complete failure. A state of the art...

News source. Their marketing department says it is the best 250GB 2.5" drive out there, so it must be true ;-)

I completly forgot about that thread. Guess I created another for nothing.

I don't speak English, but my understanding of the way it should be pronounced makes "an SATA" sounds weird. My brain must have AN accent.

Another failed FreeCell game made me transform a Compaq small form factor computer into a compact and smaller form factor computer. The HD, obviously containing valuable data, has been under repair by HD Regenerator for the past hour or so. Last time I checked, there were 171 bad sectors among...

Why an English-speaking guy writes "an SATA" and "an SAS"? The Savvio are slow for desktop applications, considering their price. I don't remember the SR review, the seeks have to be audible due to the speed of their actuators. I don't think they are the best choice for a very quiet box.

Yes they do, but you asked for cool and quiet, not fast. They cost three times as much too.

HDCP is a feature of the GPU, not a feature of the manufacturer. Same GPU, same feature.

Don't want Vista? There's a way, but it will cost you. Go to Lenovo.com. Bottom left : Products - Notebooks. Right column, click "View Thinkpad notebooks". Select the R series. Click "View models" for the R60e. Then, "Customize & buy". Selecting Windows XP Home (he won't need...

All cheap laptops have bling-bling coasted screens nowadays. I hate bling-bling. Acer packs a lot of features for a similar price to other brands according to what I see on my price lists. With them, you have 30 days to register after your purchase and they provide support instead of the...

I lost 20 hours of folding on one of my systems because it couldn't connect to the assigment server, althought the internet connection was fine and despite restarting the client several times. This isn't the first time. Steam was starting to get out of my ears when it finally received a work unit.

What's between him and his boss is his own business. What get posted on this forum is ours. Mind your own business.

I haven't used NEC DVD burners in a while, so I can't comment how they compare to the Pioneer and LG. I didn't have any problem so far with the LG, but I've only started to use it recently. If he doesn't plan to play much games, then I think the best solution for him is a passively cooled...

Stupid questions : Did you forget to plug the 4pin 12V power cable on the motherboard? Have you plug the 6pin power cable on the graphic card?

Tell the stupid donkey that it shouldn't put his balls near the cooling fan of the graphic card or at least that it should shave its balls so that the hair doesn't get stuck in the fan blades.

There's no good reason for a very budget-limited PC to use DDR2 800MHz instead of cheaper DDR2 667MHz (Corsair and Kingston tend to be cheaper). If he plans to play 3D games, even rarely, then the 8600GT is worth it over the 8500GT or Radeon X1650. The MSI 8600GT is supposedly well made...

Oh please, don't post pictures of lightly clothed women ; we'll lose Howell for another six months.

POTC, the third, is comparable to the other two chapters. It's no better, but no worse. There are several clichés, particularly at the end, but most succesful movies have some too. The end, well, I could comment, but that would ruin your experience. There's a small opening for another movie...

Did I meant something I didn't want to mean???

I too noticed that the site was erratic yesterday in the late afternoon / early evening.

Are they related to the barbarian flash washer?

About the flash drive washing : I imagine he simply forgot it in the pocket of his pants. About the need for a 34 minutes wash : Merc is a substantial man and substantial men wear substantial clothes. The larger the clothes, the longer the cycle.

The installer crashed late (encountered an unexpected error) on my Vista test machine. The system has an ATI Radeon X1950XT, so it should have worked. Nonetheless, I am now the owner of a Steam account. I am so proud (cough). Let's say it's not for nothing that I tried it on my test system.

15 minutes ain't enough. 8GB is a lot of bits to dry out.

I'm not a gamer. That being said, what's wrong with Steam?

Yes, thanks.

Fushigi's suggestion seems appropriate. I would also put all files that won't need to be updated (mp3, videos, pictures) on DVDs and store them in a safe location. Also, despite your moving, you left your location to Minneapolis, Minnesota. What kind of retard have you become!?! (j/k)

I wish Eugene the best too. SR is the place where we all met first afterall. The MBF trully killed the site. That and the lack of new stuff on a regular basis.

Go see for yourself : www.storagereview.com Both SR and SF are one next to the other in my bookmarks. Now it will be more confusing when I'll accidently click on the wrong link.

I don't see how a 4 feet long, lightly built and mostly insectivor predator could have possibly taken down an (imaginary) animal the size of a horse. Maybe a deinonichus, but not a procompsognathus. Dinosaurs wouldn't have taken down all of the other species in Noah's ark. But every other...

Religion trully is a stupid people fab. They shouldn't be free to roam everywhere. The worst part is that we don't revoke their right to vote. No wonder Bush won twice.

Babelfish doesn't help me to translate "jewess". People as idiotic as this imbecile aren't even worth the two bullets that should be used to cure them.

So now maybe it will be easier to get PC Power & Cooling power supplies outside the United States. News source

I used several (like in 20 to 30) A8N-VM/CSM Asus motherboards last year, all without issue. It has the GeForce 6150 chipset and the MCP430 south bridge. There's a DVI output for the integrated graphic and of course, a PCI-E 16X slot if you have a discret graphic card. It has disappeared from...

I don't consider the rear fan to be useful in the TLM/TLA-436. The grid is too obtrusive. The TW/TS-01 are way better. Here, both cost me the same amount of money. But here, I can't get them below 45$ with an ultra cheap power supply. They cost me 53$ with a Sparkle 350W power supply...

Wyse terminals cost upward to 400U$ each. Thanks but I'll pass. Used Compaq Evo SFF boxes are easy to find and cost less than 175$ with relatively modern components. In fact, I use a Compaq Evo SFF as my main machine and I still haven't waited long enough to think about tearing it off from...

Anyway, with a Pentium D, your system will draw more juice and produce more heat, therefore taxing the very cheap power supply from your 25$ case a lot more than an AM2-based platform would. The reliability of the whole box will certainly be lowered because of this. I don't think your 25$...
