It was about time Supermicro includes their Opteron boards into their official lineup. How long had they been selling those in the OEM channels? Something like 6 months I think. At least now their customers will have official support from the manufacturer, like obvious links to drivers from...

Sechs, Fushigi was trying to help just like you. Give him a break.

You can't tell me that this "Serenity", that looks like a parody of a sci-fi B class movie, is actually worth viewing? I haven't seen it, but the teaser looks so bad to me that I can't believe it's even remotely entertaining. I mean, how can a movie featuring a 5'2", 100lbs, baby-faced woman...

...but their 2005FPW (great display BTW) is now on sale at 680$CAN. I paid mine 765$ three weeks ago, damn!

Their boxes suddenly cost 30-40% more than they did a few weeks ago (maybe even compared to yesterday, I haven't checked). I don't think this is going to help them to improve their market share. Maybe it has to do with their complain about their low average selling price. A Celeron 2.4GHz...

I've been searching, but no. The foreigner has no idea. Explanation?

...and of course it has to cost more than 300U$. Nice.

Shit, I was there and I didn't see it. Thanks.

At least you know who's fault it is.

The operating shock resistance seems quite high. Is it bullet-proof too? I'd like to find a module that fits into two 5.25" bays and let me mount 2.5" drives vertically, à la Supermicro CSE-M34. BTW, browsing Supermicro's website, I saw that we have competition for our name. There's a...

Maybe he refused to kiss Hank's ass?

Gary will be ok. Rita was weaker than a farmer's fart in Houston area. Assuming he hasn't been killed by some freak on the road to leave Houston, we should see him back online in a few days.

I have no extension installed and my vanilla Firefox 1.07 doesn't crash anywhere on the Bourse de Montréal site. Wrong culprit you have.

Ok smart ass. Would "being hit by lightning" be better? You all understood what I tried to say.

Good luck Gary. Try not to be stroke by lightning for a third time. And get out of there, your stuff IS replaceable, not you.

For the record, the exact same behavior happens to me with my new P4 Prescott-based system. One thing I would try if I were you would be to remove the heatsink from the CPU and see if the thermal paste has completly left the area between the core and the heatsink. This is supposed to happen...

That game shouldn't suck : Serious Sam 2 demo.

The good news is that we should be back in the top 100 (well, #100), in 40 days, according to the conquest/overtake projection. We'll be kicked off the top 100 quickly, but it wasn't our last presence in that prestigious group. Remember when we were 34th?

Iron Tom Vane A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. You tend to blend into the background occaisionally, but that's okay, because it's much easier to sneak up on people and disembowel them that way. Arr! And I'm no Tom either.

Even if it doesn't justify itself from an economical perspective, the 100% reduction on pollution rejects would be enough for me to lay down the cash.

At 7500$CAN, I'd buy one unit for my Corolla tomorrow if it was available.

Did I tell you that I bought a Dell 2005FPW last week and that I've just installed it five minutes ago? Not disappointed, I am.

I'm also still on W2K and I have no plan of downgrading with a more recent version either.

One thing I'm sure of is that in French, it's written and pronounced ALUMINIUM.

My P4 2.66GHz is looking more and more pathetic (it already was on the day I bought it). BTW, that POS P4 is slower than my old Athlon XP 1800+ at stock frequency according to 3D Mark 2003. With the same Radeon 9550, it scores 200 points lower than the 1.1GHz slower Athlon XP (2550 vs 2760...

That Matiz looks like a hatchback Echo stripped of its Toyota logo and replaced by a Chevy cross.

I'm doing my best to avoid mixing up to/too - their/there/they're - then/than. The middle one particularly gets on my nerves when I'm reading others, so that's the one I'm the most careful about. My excuses to anyone who might be upset-ed by my casual spelling mistakes/confusing sentences...

Yeah, I forgot about the copper advantage that AMD had over Intel back a few years ago. Thanks for the reminder.

I would get an Odyssey. Pilot is more prone to overturn in curbs. Since you'll often have children abord, safety should be one, if not your first priority. See how your possible choices score according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (their tests are made at higher speed than...

According to this brief news at Digitimes, AMD will start manufacturing 65nm cores as early as mid-October. Intel won't before January. How's that possible? I can't recall AMD ever being ahead of Intel in their manufacturing process. Better chip designs, yes, but more advanced manufacturing...

I haven't added up the numbers, but that's a freaking expensive box you have there. Lucky for you if you have the earnings to equip yourself like that. I probably could too, but since I don't play much games, except freecell while I run Adaware/NOD32, I have reconsidered my needs toward the...

That doggie surely doesn't look like it has the legal age to own a driver's license. Get it out of the driver seat immediately.

With you, Gary, Greg, formerly Flagreen and soon Tony, Buck and Mark in the 50+ club, we'll have to open a new forum : geriatric matters. ;-) Don't take it bad, my hair is halfway grey too.

That was hilarious.

I catched that yesterday and I'm now using Opera, ad-free. I still prefer Firefox, but I use Opera once in a while for those few occasions when Firefox's rendering isn't up to the task (like Toyota.ca, for instance).

He's probably bought his PSU by now Greg. This thread was created in March.

What were you doing in the ladies' bathroom?

That's 18$, not 15$. :smack:

I GAVE my previous computer. First one in years I haven't smashed, I'm improving. Buck, I prefer those with a yellow fiber glass handle. Wood handles always end-up breaking.

I'm almost sure the recently released G550 for PCI-E 1x slot uses a Texas Instrument chip to convert its native AGP signal into PCI-E compatible signal.

I'm still mourning my 8th place and now I'm about to be overtaken by a clown, but I ain't finding it funny.

...and you feel at ease with Compaq :eekers:

Wow, just looked at Newegg and 6600GT can be found as low as 150U$ nowadays. This is crazy. Go get one. I haven't seen any that were passively cooled AND with an AGP connector though.

You need dual VGA or dual DVI or something mixed up? You haven't defined "decently priced". This can be below 100$ as well as below 400$. We don't know your budget. A 6600GT will beat an X700, but will be slower than an X800XL in most situations. For 200$-250$, it (6600GT) is the best...

Just gave my previous system mentioned earlier in this thread. Now equipped with the following : Pentium 4 "Prescott" 505 2.66GHz/533MHz FSB Asus P5P800 i865-based 512MB (2 DIMMs) PC3200 (Corsair) Sapphire Radeon 9550 256MB (same as before, put a Radeon 9250 in my old box) WD2000JB 200...

5$ Mercutio will see his lunch again when he'll read this line.

I don't think we'll have much of a debate if I affirm that most of Sony's peripherals are at best inferior products compared to what the competition can offer.

Agreed. What kind of idiot would be willing to give the government 100% of their wage? Even 50% is revolting, although here, I don't have the choice but to pay close to that (39.3% so far this year) and I'm revolted about it. 80/40, p/e I would be 100/100, but I wouldn't trust others to have...

I removed the heatsink and processor to check if I bent any pin in the socket. Nope. So I re-installed the CPU and heatsink, this time with Arctic Silver paste since I scrapped the thermal pad that came with the heatsink when I removed it first. Put everything together in the new Sonata II...
