From X-bit Laboratories : Very interesting. Depends on the selling price as usual, but a midrange card with a 256bit 750MHz RAM sounds good to me. All in all, it seems to be a lower clocked FX 5900. Enough for 99% of gamers. I was disapointed by the FX 5600, but this one should replace nVidia...

I don't follow much the pricing of >120GB HDD, but Western's drives from 40GB to 120GB show only a 5$ or 10$ max. premium for the Special Edition models. Besides, Western has one more reason than Seagate to charge more for their 8MB models - the three warranty that comes with them. Seagate...

Someone should tell it to Seagate's marketing folks. With the awful price premium they charge for the SATA version of their drives, one would guess the engineering department didn't transmit the info to the marketing dudes.

Guess the odds aren't on your side even on a lucky day...

What's kind of funny to me is that you so proudly support capitalism and yet fail to understand its side-effects. You want it, you got it. No tears for the lost jobs to India, for they suffer more from the actual economic regime than you will ever do. Capitalism and worldwide free trade...

America, country of the freedom of speach, freedom of opinion and freedom of thoughts. Support our troops. Together we stand. Let's liberate Iraqi people. Let's hit at the heart of Al Quaeda's greatest allied. Let's secured the world from the immense treat Iraq with Hussein is... You know...

It seems to me that MS main goal with Server 2003.nut was/is to fight Linux/Unix on its own ground, contering most of its strenghts over past Windows versions.

Me knows Dunkee, but never read Dunce before. Another one of your Yankee slang terms?

To answer Jojo's question, I'll say that AMD tries to compete against both the Celeron and Pentium 4 lines with their Athlon XP. The Athlon XP falling in the Celeron frequency ratings feature Celeron-like prices while those above the highest current Celeron frequency/rating are pricematched to...

Plus, a T'bred 1800+ is likely to achieve higher performances through overclocking than a Pentium 4 1.8GHz will. The 1800+ should reach at least 2.2GHz, while the 1.8GHz Pentium 4 ceiling should be around 2.8GHz. And a 2.2GHz Athlon XP will be faster than a 2.8GHz Pentium 4 most of the time...

I know the GigaByte 7N400 series can, don't know for other nForce2 boards though. Most others only have 3 DIMM sockets.

I don't understand the goal.

What if his grandfather has Parkinson? "Iii,'mm Ttrying OOT Fiinnd Inffoo On Thhee IInnternnet..." won't give you much result on Google you know.

People should list their F@H configs in this thread too.

I thought about creating a thread today entitled "bragging time" to list the config of the two news systems I'm building. Both will be exactly the same, excepted for the enclosure and graphic card : Athlon XP 1800+ Thoroughbred AXDA1800DLT3C Thermalright SK-7 & Panaflo H1A 39cfm / Arctic Silver...

Problem fixed by reflashing the latest firmware. The drive couldn't recognize the new media with the old one I guess. Now everything's fine. Thanks to all.

Clocker : Jerk. Chicken : 10GB download, 1MB upload. Per month. I rarely if ever use that much.

It's been like a zigsaw in the last month. But the trend IMO is upward. Especially with August and class comeback arriving. RAM prices to go down again like they were in Spring? Years ahead. Probably at least two. Smallest price I've ever had for 512MB of PC133 (at the time) was 65$CDN...

Hell no! I get 4Mbps and pay ~35U$ a month for it. Wait, huh? You're in the States. Ah, changes everything...

Could you buy me a lotery ticket too? Just in case.

Wow man, do I feel good of having let it go. :D Relieved.

Because he's retarded. Stuck at ~11½ years old. It's been obvious for years. And selfish like few I've seen. In his mind (when it's not on vacation), everyone should try to please him. Tannin is a jackass because he didn't mail him timely. I'm a jackass because I don't wake up every...

Thanks all for your reply. I already told him to try the Fuji 48X instead, so I should have some feedback about this later this week-end. I really doubt the problem is related to Nero at this point and I don't think he's familiar enough with burning softwares to install and run by himself a...

User (far away, cannot visit him for now) has a problem when writing (or at least trying to) cheap Memorex CD-R with its Lite-On 32x/10x/40x. He receives the message "Session fixation error" and "Could not perform Fixation" at the beginnig of the writing session. He had a virus not long ago on...

Great, let's close the admin section right now. Oh, it looks like I'll have one great summer indeed.

What's so horrible about the layout? I assembled my last box with this motherboard Saturday and I had no problem at all. Apart from the socket-A being a bit too close to the DIMM sockets, there's no issue with the layout IMO. Just start by installing the CPU/heatsink before plugging the RAM...

I thought the improved fans The Inq. refers to was also an improved design over the current copper-bottom retail heatsink. I don't know why The Inq. would post this as a news now if it was a couple months old. Besides, the copper-bottom retail heatsink fans only comes with higher-end Athlon...

Seen on The Inquirer : Makes me happy and I bet it will please several of you too.

Re: Unifying the codes Merc has more than a thousand post at SR, I have around 850, Tannin has about 30 more than me (plus probably between 400 and 500 by Tea) and Blakerwry is also well beyond 1000. Howell/Cliptin, I don't remember, so he must have only a few hundreds, just like Handruin. I...

Whatever, mine came in a Sea-something and I prefer foam in my wall, not my hard drive.

News admin note : I think the author of the article looks like the nerd stereotype : News source Submitted by Blakerwry.

Mine came in a SeaShield. I've always had good exeriences with NCIX.com. Shipping took a week, via Purolator (the cheapest since I had two enclosures on that ordr and Puro charges less for heavy packages). I probably buy from them every two or three months.

You are an obsolete primate model. People expect you to be stupid.

I bought a respectable amount of computer parts last week in order to upgrade/replace/sell my computer park. Among these parts was a Barracuda ATA IV 40GB (there was a sale on it and I only needed storage, not speed). When I received my order, I was gladly surprised to see that my ATA IV was...

Mortal Kombat II. It was a turnip.

Les Invasions barbares is not my type of movie (mainly humans relationships). I haven't seen it and I don't plan to either. Great if it was good for the genre. I'm just not an amateur of this genre. I'll go watch LEG soon. I won't find it as good as Mercutio for sure since Merc gave me high...

Me too, but I'm not English-speaking so I could be wrong.

I'll never understand why so many people are trying so hard to develop a brain tumour.

Hey, and Dell sucks. :P

The regulars often disagreed in past threads. Now everyone knows each others' bugs, so debating them again and again seems futile. Arguing Tannin that ECS can make good boards is almost like trying to convince Mercutio that nVidia can make good cards or telling The Giver that U.S. foreign...

What the hell is FRAM?

Service Packs should never reset services to default settings, but alas every SP from MS I've installed does it at least for a few ones. It is a pain.

From you :eekers: Uwwwaaggghh :puke-r: Hey! Keep your hands on you, you deviate. Probably not. M-RAM would fit better there. See Gary's post in this thread. M-RAM probably is less expensive to manufacture for larger capacities than F-RAM.

FRAM invasion has begun. I think it's great. We've been talking about FRAM for years and now, finally, we see it appear in a commercial product for PC. Read the entire news at X-bit Laboratories

I also bought it with a Panaflo H1A and Arctic Silver Ceramique compound. According to the review, it's quite a cooler for the price (I paid 31U$ for the heatsink & fan, including shipping...here)

I just bought two Thermalright SK-7 for my new systems. I'll be quite pissed if the Thermaltake's end up being cheaper and just as efficient.

I think Clocker linked TT's site a few months ago, but yeah, it's funny. One of my dream jobs.

Give me a break. E.T. fingers us, it's clear.

I would be very interested in an Athlon 64 with dual-channel memory support. It would probably trounce Intel's highest-end Pentium 4 too...but also cost just as much.
