The Maxtor are in stock in some places (as well as the Seagate and Hitachi's), did you buy some?

Hey, it wouldn't cost me that much to visit Honolulu. 442$ to go and another 442$ to return. One day, I have to do it. Also, given the choice, would you rather travel in an Airbus 320 or a Boeing 763? I would have more confidence in the Airbus (design is more modern), but I haven't done any...

But for a ~54000U$ car like the one in Clocker's video, it is.

I've just checked and a trip to Sydney from here (one way only) would cost me 1600$CAD. That would climb to 2100$ for Melbourne. Australia is safe for now... I'll go to a nearby zoo if I want to pet a kangooroo.

You're near Brisbane?

Specifications You can pre-order your drive directly from their web store for 350U$ (free shipping). So maybe Eric will finally be able to buy some half-terabyte drives?

[did a few research] Ok so maybe the 6800GS cost more like 30$ more than an X1600XT...if you swipe your credit card quickly enough, you won't feel the difference. 189$ for a graphic card isn't the end of the world.

I agree with our Brisbane ambassador. The 6800GS from nVidia offers much higher performances at a similar price point (or maybe 15$-20$ higher, whatever). Of course, it doesn't have the nice video rendering that has been enabled with the latest Catalyst driver though. Party pooper, that's a...

That's what I thought. It'll be great to try to explain that to him. He thinks his card has gone tits up and that he gets BSOD because his computer isn't powerful enough. I tried to tell him that speed and stability are two different things in the computer world, but I don't think he's...

I'll tell him to try that. Thanks for the help. Why some games use kernel mode and others don't? Does it have to do anything with DirectX?

It did exactly the same thing for me as well as the default bitTorrent client. But Azureus worked so now I have the file :)

A former customer told me that he has BSOD when he's playing some recent games. He has Win2K and he receives the message that ntoskrnl.exe causes the problem. ntoskrnl.exe is the Microsoft Boot Up Kernel. I searched briefly on the Net for a possible explanation, but I haven't found anything...

Hmmm. I can't connect to the torrent, seems to be down for me. Too bad.

If fixed width is a problem inside discussion forums, just ask Santilli to post something and your original intended width will be screwed.

Thanks Merc. I'm glad that our mods are lazy these days :mrgrn: Now all I need is a USB drive.

So now it works? Update the BIOS immediately to the latest version. Asus boards are almost always shaky with the early BIOS they come with. Later revisions are always way better.

It isn't normal to have back pains when you're just in your early thirties. This probably indicates that your abs are too weak, so your back is overcompensating and the pain comes from the wear of your back muscles. Start to do sit-ups. Buy a big balloon and do your series on it, it will...

That's what I'm thinking too. Whatever happens to their shares' value, the divident are substantial so you really can't lose money on the long term.

AMD's shares are now worth almost twice of those of Intel (38.38$ vs 21.22$). 2005 and early 2006 has been an outstanding period for AMD. I don't think business has been that good for them in their entire history. Their total market value is now about 1/8 of Intel's. It was 1/15 maybe a...

Ok, now I'm pissed. The html tag worked when I previewed my post but now they no longer do. Ostie d'Calice de Tabarnack.

TigerDirect : "We're SSOooo sorry, but this item <s>has never been</s> is no longer available." Stupid marketing tricks to lure people and draw traffic. :boom:

What do you do for a living? Pro golfer or what? First class to Hawaiï, pssf.

Tech-Report made up a review of the i-RAM drive. IMO, it has many hard-to-forgive short-comings : SATA 150MBps only and doesn't support larger than 1GB sticks. It still kicks the ass of everything else that can be plugged to a SATA controller and its IOmeter's results are god-like, but I have...

I can't believe it either. We have a good deal of clueless voters over here. Just less than in the prairies. Apparently, a bunch of people over here thinks that we can't administer ourselves properly and that we need some foreign redneck to tell us how to spend our money. No one's here for...

MPAA are evil pirates! http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060124-6036.html

If The Inquirer is right (flip a coin), Opteron for dual sockets will see huge price drops in three weeks.

Do you still use it? Under which operating system? I know someone who needs an FTP server for a medium-size company and this is the one that seems to be the best solution from what I read.

Actually, last time I checked, their prices were lower than Tyan's equivalent. I don't know if that has changed though. I compared prices of boards featuring the NVidia Pro chipset. The boards with the ServerWorks chipset are certainly overpriced and their performance must not be that...

So you moved from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Victoria?

Press release. DailyTech short artcile with pretty pictures. They also post links to a few reviews. Personally, I'm no fan of dual-slot cooling solution and I don't like to deal with an external cable to setup a Crossfire configuration. So I'm fairly unimpressed with ATI's recent high-end cards.

Well, they list Singapore and Malaysia. If you're a good swimmer, it's not that far.

Because you Grand Mother's backyard is probably in the U.S. and the Philippines are far from the U.S. I know Dell isn't a U.S.-only store, but I doubt you can buy a Dell computer in a place like Mozambique for instance. Still, maybe they sell in Philippines since it is a country with quite a...

Most of the files I sent there were mp3 and I didn't compressed them at all (mp3 is already quite compressed). RAR is the most efficient compression in term of space, but compressing to RAR takes more time than compressing to .zip. Mercutio despise RAR because he finds it too time consuming.

Dell sells computers in Philippines?

He did and the NPD won almost as many seats as e-dawg first predicted. But the conservative party will have quite a headache to maintain itself in place. The only party that can mathematically help it to pass its rules is...the Bloc Québécois. However, the conservative party is the most...

The DC-9 has been one of the safest and most reliable commercial airplanes ever built. If properly maintained, there's no fear to have.

There goes my post about cat going airborn if they bite me. Oh well...

As I wrote before the forum corruption occured, it is a Rev. E3 core. The OPN guide for AMD processors is here .

Well, you're a lot of life to support. Bunch of jerks! I bet no one felt guilty about it either. They must have told you that just like someone tells you that you didn't win the lottery. Will they pay you something if they don't find it or if anything is damaged? I bet no. Damn ass grabbers!

I forgot to tell you to replace the POS small fan on the north bridge by something more appropriate. I've used it and it is good enough, although a bit tedious to install.

You want two CPUs or a dual-core. You want to use your existing 20pin PSU. You want an AGP 8X graphic card. You could buy this motherboard. Here are the specifications. I downloaded the user manual and on page 2-10 (page 26 of the pdf), it is written that although the ATX power connector...

A 600W Seasonic? Noisy as Hell? Not supposed to be. Fan must be defective. Or the fan controller.

Since when do you have accents in English? In Français and Español, we do, but I wasn't aware there were any accents in languageus britannicus.

Re. Sechs : That's for a majority government (one that can do whatever it wants without having to fear to be overthrown by the opposition). I think the exact number is 152, but I'm not sure since it's not my country. The current government is a minority government. It means that the party...

Opteron 144 for socket 939 are still relatively easy to find around here and they are quite cheap.

You must have an Athlon 64 with an old core, like a Winchester. The older Athlon 64 automatically set back the frequency to 333MHz when all four banks are populated. The newer San Diego, Venice, Manchester and Toledo core don't do that. Handruin had the same problem with his Athlon 64 3200+...

Not because you're taking a break that I'll stop watching you!

EAC 0.90b4 to rip and Lame 3.90b3 to encode. Read the f**cking Uberstandard link I posted above for the reasons as I'm apparently in no intellectual shape to post anything that make sense this evening.

Ok, now I'm all screwed up between the ripping and encoding programs and their versions. Pay no attention to the above. I need to sleep.

I meant since when version 0.95b3 is the standard? The -alt presets have been made to give the best results with version 0.90b4. They are not optimised for 0.95b3 unless things have changed since last time I checked. There must be some improvements in 0.95b3 over 0.90b4, but these have...
