Why do you always sell things less than 24 hours after I order something similar. Hey, I'm about to take it personal man.

I've just noticed that we have overtaken another team something like two days ago. It's has been a while since last time it happened. Great work guys. I plan to had a 2.13GHz Duron next week. This should boost my total production to +1400 points/week, up from my current 900-1000 points/week.

On the other hand, if the following message is there : Then it means that /var/www/html/ is empty, which means there is no more SR elsewhere than on backups.

We thought the same thing at the same time. See my post in that thread. I don't think Eug & Dave could have done that though. It must be a problem with the site host rather than something from the site's owners.

Maybe they are installing MBF 2.0? :roll:

Thanks. That's what I thought, but I still find it a bit odd.

Now that's awful for the health. Coke is partly responsible for America's obesity. It contains a lot of calories and without you noticing, you gain pounds after pounds. And a typical coke contains about half of the caffeine of a normal coffee, so what you're taking is like up to 6 coffee a...

Has Eugene and Davin been warned?

Since my very poor experience with Optorite on their CD-writer, I'm always very skeptical about their products. I think Mercman has written their DVD-writers are ok, so maybe they've improved. The Shuttle nForce 2 Ultra 400 is fine as long as you don't plan to overclock (it doesn't very well)...

While I don't think the latest iPod is an item of great interest among our membership, I'll give Apple its minute of glory on our front page since I rarely pay attention to them. BTW, did the original Mac has really been released only 20 years ago? That was written in the newspaper here this...

I'm talking about a boxing ring. I've never seen a circular "ring". To me, it would make more sense if we would say : "The boxers enter the square" instead of : "The boxers enter the ring". Explanation?

And the review at X-bit Labs. The review tells us two things : 1. The Athlon 64 3400+ performs on average within 2% of the much more expensive Athlon FX-51 and better than both the Pentium 4 3.2GHz and Pentium 4 Extreme Edition, although slightly for the second. 2. PC Mark is the absolute...

Coug And the point of the additional 4 pins 12V connector is to provide additional current to the motherboard and probably also to give a better current distribution on the mainboard, since there's more than one source for the 12V supply. That's more or less the same reason why there is more...

As expected.

I did at length several months ago. I do not trust dual phase voltage regulation as much as three phase regulation, especially for +70W processors. There's no 12V ATX connector on the Asus either. I think I had another bone against it, but I don't remember. The above two are very important...

Are you able to get Shuttle boards easily where you are? Their KM400 seems better to me than what you described for the Asrock. Probably less picky about RAM AND both 3 phase VRM and the 4 pins 12V ATX power connector Take a look at it : picture of Shuttle MK40VN. One bad thing about it is...

I'm sure it's lost. Either it crashes badly or the balloons supposed to absorb the landing impact didn't deployed once the module stoped moving and block the "beagle" from transmitting.

I'm addicted to coffee, but I limit myself to two cups a day on days I'm training and no more than three cups on my resting days. Seems like a very faint addiction, but I've tried to stop two or three times and I just like coffee's taste and smell too much to stop taking my daily dose. On the...

I don't own a recent Maxtor drive, so can't really test it. My latest Maxtor model is a D740X 40GB and it currently sits in an incomplete system that misses some important components before it can boot (like motherboard, RAM and CPU).

I'll post it on the front page tomorrow, but this evening, I'm dead tired from my training and have a beer in the nose (not drunk, but just feel somewhat lazy). Thanks for the news.

The Asus has worst design issues than an active NB cooling. My two favorite nForce 2 motherboards both have a fan on the north bridge, which I could live without, but they both have other features and design peculiarities I care about.

BTW, who was the Trinton mockery back then (Triton Assamouth). I'm sure he's here. PM me if it's still a matter of national security.

But it has practically NO heat transferring capability. And this wasn't a thermal pad, it was plain double-sided tape. A shame, I tell you.

I don't think many among our membership still use this old operating system, but many of our customers surely do. Warning the concerned folks that it's their last chance to update their system might be a good idea. News source

...and removing the tape was even worst.

Bloody lawyers, they screw everything...

And may I add that the heatsink was a bitch to remove.

I've been disassembling my slowest system this evening, moving it to another enclosure. When I arrived to the motherboard, I decided to check if a) I was able to remove the north bridge heatsink and b) to verify if ECS did the odious of putting double-sided tape to attach the heatsink to the...

The "Me" was intentional. The "however" mistake wasn't. Why is it inappropriate?

Just stumbled on that review at Hexus.net on the AN7. Seems to compare it to the NF7-S v.2.0 too. Haven't read it yet, but will. Me don't expect a fantastic review however.

I've seen that motherboard appear on one of my suppliers' list and I wonder if it worths a small premium over the NF7-S (the one we gave to our kind webmaster). It features a so-called µ-Guru set of overclocking utilities, but if it doesn't o/c better than the NF7-S, this means next to nothing...

...and noisy.

Kinda weird the feature's own name being a spelling mistake.

Raw onions, oranges, water, no milk products (contain lot of bacterias and your organism is already quite busy), sleep and no panic crisis. Taking a short walk to get some fresh air would help too, but only if you put enough clothes on. I know the last suggestion sounds suicidal, but it trully...

According to the wav file, I think you made a spelling mistake. There's one too-much "h" at the end IMO. ...err, whatever.

I say it depends on what's your budget. If you are willing to lay enough cash for an Athlon 64 3000+, then IMO it's the current price/performance leader...and easily. Look at the results posted on the innumerable (<= I think I could use the spell-checking feature for that word) reviews online...

I haven't voted (and won't) because it isn't available on the theme I use and, at least for tonight, I'm too lazy to switch to the default theme in my profile (and then having the exhausting task of puting my original theme back). I think it might be a helpful feature, but I've been doing...

Usually, it should be CNN Sports' job to describe these kind of events, shouldn't it? Or at least to describe them that way...

Could you please repeat me this sir?

Ed K., Did you watch the fireworks in Sydney's port?

Read on a motherboard review at LegionHardware : So the passive heatsink is far from essential, but nevertheless, DFI should have included active cooling???

Here's a clear guide for Linux command line newbies for installing SuSe 9.0 via FTP.

Those with some post-Holidays cash to spare can offer themselves the latest and greatest Athlon64 (except for the FX-51) right now. At 440$, it isn't much more expensive than the 3200+ was (which cost ~400$ IIRC). The store with the lowest price so far is ZipZoomFly (ridicoulous name, but...

Quite funny that it's the AMD CPUs that are all shiny but it's the blank-looking Intel P4 that are priced like jewelries.

FOUR DAYS WITHOUT WORKING?!? I'm calling an ambulance, what's your address?

And in a pretty good shape too, judging by the tone of your last post. If you would have wished us all a new happy year and said that you eagerly awaited what nice things 2004 would bring, I would have called the cops and an ambulance immediately.

About shooting the messenger... Dick Cheney worked for an oil company in the nineties (I forgot the name) that happily bought oil from Iraq despite the fact that Iraq was under a U.S. embargo at that time. Tells me a lot about his credibility and patriotism. General War Bush sent wrong...

Can't be a reason for me : I have no religion. - The Unbeliever

Here, New Year's music is even more annoying than Christmas' music. That is why today I barricaded myself inside with no plan to open TV (except to watch some financial news) or have any contacts with the outside world except through the internet (where there's no New Year's retarded music).

So Oz, what's new in 2004 compared to 2003? Is the world a better place? Who won, AMD or Intel? Has Bush been re-elected?
