Another thing that will make me work in overtime to pile cash. News source

The box will feature a motherboard based on the NVIDIA nForce3 Pro 250Gb chipset. Overall, a very interesting product and I'm sure many are looking forward to see how well it will fare. News source

While he sounds like a frustrated preacher who tries to convince people that he has seen the light, I think some of the problems he has pointed out are real issues that should be addressed. The inefficiency of Windows Update is one, although I haven't seen equal or better until the release of...

This is so, SO retarded, full of shit and stereotyped on the popular image of the arrogant and lout American bloke that I'm not even sure it deserves an answer. Weapons for the civilians are forbidden or restricted a lot more than in the U.S. in most european countries as well as in Québec...

No, not about DB, but there is a new virus making its way through Europe under the name Sober.G Update on May 16th, 2004 News source Submitted by Buck

Should have said "Chicago area". If we ever do a kind of "Great Lakes area" meeting, I might come. I'm not saying that people should all drive to the same speed, but people should behave according to the speed they want to drive. When I feel relax and I plan to drive around the speed limit...

...So I can shoot all the motherfockers on our roads. All those who don't know how to use they rear-view mirrors and cut my way when they drive 30 miles per hour slower ; all those bastards who don't care crossing full lines instead of waiting for hatched lines ; all those imbeciles who...

I never thought I would make it someday to a compilation CD.

Nope.

It's been sent to the mirrors, but the repertory is "access denied" everywhere. Aaarrgghh! I hate to have to wait three days for something that's ready right now. Fedora Core 2 Test 3 doesn't feature the latest kernel 2.6.6 with the supposedly much better memory handling. Come Monday, come.

Shit, I forgot to remove my sig. for that news. Calice.

A vulnerability exists in hardware implementations of the IEEE 802.11 wireless protocol that allows for a trivial but effective attack against the availability of wireless local area network (WLAN) devices. News source Submitted by Senior Bebedor

AVG has often overlooked some virus that were detected by other (NOD32) anti-virus programs. It's free, but it isn't the most efficient.

Download it here. Press release. [daily dose of PR mooseshit] [/daily dose of PR mooseshit] Anyone told them that there are other browsers out there except IE and them? Not that I care ; I prefer Firefox.

Quoting bullshit from the U.S. government has a proof. That's just a great argument Bill. Never mind. So from what I can read in this thread, none of you folks have seen the pictures, right? Here, the medias have shown quite a few. Not too great for the image of your army for sure. There's...

Statsman was our previous "default" stats page (the one linked on the front page). The other is our current linked stats engine. I'm glad you've found the link on our front page.

I think it deserves to be mentioned here since there's been so much hype surrounding this game and so many efforts deployed by graphic chipset manufacturers to try to become the fastest platform for Doom 3 that I feel that this game is what has been driving a good part of the graphic industry...

While Toyota is pretty optimistic regarding the EPA rating of some of its small vehicles (I know, I bought a Corolla LE a few months ago), their cars (and Honda's) still beat small American cars for mileage vs gas consumption. Maybe the Focus has a better filtering system to block most harmful...

This is the first Linux distribution I've tried that didn't screw up the entire setup when I updated the kernel. For once, it didn't blow up the LAN connection has well has some drivers for hardware components. With this release (or test release, although most Linux distro version seems like...

I think he should have never been allowed to have all the power his position gives him to begin with. And I just can't see how someone can tell that the oil administration has done a good job in Irak so far with so many deaths since the supposed end of the war more than a year ago. I also...

If you need AGP : http://www.bytewizecomputers.com/products/7/7/392/4749 You can shave a hundred bucks by going with a Microstar dual s940 board with only PCI-X slots from the same store. I know it is expensive, but once you factor in the cost of both processors, it still ends up cheaper than...

IIRC, Mark has (or had) a dual MP 1900+ box. Anyone saying that Opteron dualies are over-priced hasn't looked elsewhere or is in desperate need of a calculator. AMD has also dropped their prices yesterday I think. Compare them with the Xeon any way you want, you'll always get the Opteron...

Great to know. Thanks. Unfortunately, I don't have enough money for a real audio setup right now, so atrocious sound will be just fine. You bet that I can't beat headphones. That and anything else you can throw me. Bring it. I can't stand wearing headphones. Sorry. Plus, I often listen...

I missed the Sasser thingie. When did it happen? Maybe it's because my cheapo firewall setup + patched OSes weren't affected :roll: BTW, many computers at the (big) company I work now have been affected by the latest flea that made the screen shut down. I couldn't hide my smile when I...

Intel is abandoning the Pentium 4 architecture that gave us Willamette, Northwood and Prescott. Instead, Intels next core will be based on the Pentium-M (Banias)/Pentium !!! core - possibly dual core as well. The stated reason is that power consumption is too difficult to control in a timely...

What SATA controller currently supports command queuing?

AMD HAS CONFIRMED that it will not include support for PCI Express for future Athlon XP processors. We asked Via whether it would produce chipsets supporting PCI-E for XPs, and it said it has no such product in its roadmaps. This might leave Athlon XP owners with no hope of future graphics...

Quite similar to the drives announced by Fujitsu two months ago. HGST also announced a 300GB 10K rpm Ultrastar on the 25th of February.

I must have missed something but, who is this Sancho? Windmills? Whatever.

I should, for the sake of your wallet, forget to mention this but... If you're looking for utter stability over features that she won't need anyway, well don't forget to take a glimpse over at SuperMicro. I didn't even know there was such a thing as an E7210 chipset from Intel before I visited...

You haven't given up yet, haven't you? Try not to spend too much on the whole system. Asus and Abit i875P-based mainboards are both excellent. There are competitive chipsets from both SiS (655TX) and VIA (PT880) for the price, but in term of absolute quality, I don't think any of the...

Seems finally like an interesting alternative to Intel's chipsets. The performance results were surprising considering the lame state of ATI's first chipset for Intel's Pentium 4. Main disapointment is the lack of overclocking features on the reference design. Let's hope that manufacturers...

Tell me about it.

No idea why this sentence is in past time. I have the deep conviction that it still holds true nowadays. I'm tempted by the Yamaha receiver and speakers set idea. But that would cost me at least 400U$ ; a serious investment for something that will mostly play Windows' beeps and Gnome/KDE's...

Re: I am stronger that I thought Can't be me : we know each other ;-)

I can still buy the Logitech Z560 for ~250$CDN with taxes and shipping. But it's a 4.1 system without digital input. Or there is the newer Z680 (5.1 system with digital in) for an out-of-my-budget 400$CDN. You can get the Z680 for only 50U$ more than the Z640? Either your stores sell the...

Thanks guys for confirming my feeling. I learned that the server will be use as a terminal server host for the 30 or so other users. Excel, two database softwares, basic internet and the like. He can't use an Opteron-based server or one of the database software vendor won't support him...

My business partner needs a too expensive box and he has to choose between the two servers mentioned in this thread's title. Both have very similar equipment, except for the L2 cache amount of the Xeon processors. The HP has an option to get Xeon with 2MB of L2 cache while the IBM only offers...

That's the onboard NIC on my motherboard and it hasn't frozen yet.

Simple question, isn't it? My old Altec Lansing ACS56 speaker set died last month, with a little help from my hammer (one of the rear satellites ended up being at the wrong place, wrong time), so now I need to find a replacement. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, but at least I make the economy roll...

My speakers aren't plugged, but that should be pretty close.

Ah ben Tabarnack. Fedora Core 2 test 3 now recognizes and configure the LAN correctly on nForce 2-based mainboards. J'ai mon voyage. I didn't download all those bytes for nothing afterall. One more thing to make me like Linux.

Mark, Is the Pentium 4 more prolific than the overclocked Barton now that the new FAH core gives more points to SSE2-optimized processors? If yes, I'm pissed. I've just assembled a Barton-based system last week.

Probably this afternoon.

Release notes. You can download the BitTorrent file here. There are ISOs for both CD and DVD formats. I'm, as usual, dowloading it right now.

Hmmm, looking at Toshiba's website, there's apparently no 32GB limitation jumper setting on your drive. Oh well, I tried...

I know some 3.5" drives have a jumper configuration to limit the usable capacity to 32GB (IBM drives have it at least). I don't have the knowledge about your particular 2.5" Toshiba drive to tell if it features such a jumper setting, but I believe this is something you should be looking into.

The 2GHz old core has 1MB of L2 cache. The newer 2.2GHz revision has half the L2 cache amount, but some improvements elsewhere, making it more or less equal in overall performances according to AMD. At least that's what I remember having read on the subject.

Well, at 2500U$, nVidia can keep its FX 4000 as far as I'm concerned.
