I'm about to build (and sell shortly after) a system with old parts and a K7S5A Pro too. Good to see that it seems to be a easy board to work with.

AFter a bit of research, I found out that Gainward has a 128MB model with 64bit wide memory bus, but it's the only 128MB model I'm awared of with the crippled bus. All the others 64bit memory cards were 64MB models (several from Gainward - designed as lite versions, the SL-5200-CD from Soltek...

I never wrote anything about DDR memory on the GeFarce 5200FX. I wrote that some of the 64MB versions have 64bit wide memory bus. I never wrote it could be SDRAM memory. AFAIK, there are no GeForce 5200FX with 64bit SDRAM memory. There are a few with 64bit DDR memory (but only on the 64MB...

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/radeon-9100_3.html The flashy red bar is for the Radeon 9100 (from GigaByte) and the green bar is a GeForce 4 MX 440 with AGP 8X support. Keep in mind that the Radeon 9100 (a remarked 8500LE) is DirectX 8.1 compatible while the GeForce 4MX is...

A GeFarce 4 MX is kinda outdated. You would be better off with a Radeon 9100 64MB (the 128MB version doesn't add any performance worth of) or a GeFarce 5200FX 128MB (beware of the 64MB versions as some have only a 64bit wide memory bus). I would personally opt for the Radeon 9100 as it is...

It should, unless perhaps you overclock the Athlon to insane frequencies. I doubt the PSU has dual fans, so be sure to put a decent 80mm fan in the rear to exhaust the hot air produced by the CPU. I once used a cheapo no-name 300W PSU to power up a dual 2000+ Athlon MP platform. I tried to...

Steve, I hope this was meant to be funny. Hammerhead sharks are mid-size sharks. They rarely mesure more than 10 feet long and they are much ligher than great whites. The only shark that could have been that big was the now extincted carcharodon megalodon, a 60 feet long great white shark...

If being in the same water where great whites live is nut, then several thousands of people in South Africa, Hawaii and southern Australia are nut. Jaws is a movie. While there are great white sharks of the size (in lenght, head size in the movie was greatly exagerated) of the one in the...

And the 30$ per hour salary avrage leaves me sceptical. Bullshit that it's the average salary office people earn in the States. Make this ~16$, 20$ max. and I'll start to pay attention to the numbers.

You buy 450$ drives for the look?

Nope, it's a shark. And by the shape of the fin and its size compared to the swimmer (around 4 meters long I would say), a great white. Dolphins' fin is lower on their back and it isn't as sharp. Dolphins have a horizontal tail, while this one is vertical. Also, Dolphins' body near the tail...

That's a good baseline for an article, but you need to add some meat around it (text). Only posting numbers will only be useful for people knowing how to interpret them. For noobs or for people simply not familiar with RAM benchmarking, it will be meaningless. You could add a detailed...

I bet the guy wished his surf board had a rear clutch.

Too tall, too expensive and I doubt a 8200rpm fan, no matter if its only a 40mm one, only produce 27.5dBa.

Unsolicited commercial e-mail costs U.S. companies $874 per employee per year in lost productivity, according to a report released yesterday from independent research company Nucleus Research Inc. The report, titled "Spam: The Silent ROI Killer," details the results of interviews with...

A closer look at an outstanding example of an external hard disk drive from Western Digital. It is a 250GB model supporting USB 2.0 and FireWire interfaces and boasting impressive design and superb performance. You really need to check it out! News Source Submitted by Prof.Wizard

Thanks. I bought one yesterday for around 74$CDN + shipping along with a bunch of other computer parts. I'll put an Enermax dual-fans 350W PSU into it. I'm sick of seeing Clocker fly away from me on the F@h stats...

I am far, VERY far, from being a gentleman.

And is only 82$...and only 82$...and 82$ with free shipping...and free shipping only to US...so it's not 82$ elsewhere...more like 95$ elsewhere...but you have to let me know that you can have it for 82$ where you are...and nanana and nanana. I hate Americans with their free shipping.

I hope a computer tech even will take place in Montréal soon to allow me to meet THG's folks. I would really enjoy present them my point of view about exclusive presentation and keeping out other medias. I would also like to teach them that vertebras #5, #6 and #7 can do snap, crackle and pop...

Damn Cocker. Every time I close up the gap separating us sufficiently to let me dream I'll be able to overcome him, he explodes for a few weeks to widen the distance once again. I'm starting to wonder if he does this only to piss me.

SR does use Iometer for their server-oriented benchmark (file and web server). They use IPEAK to monitor the results given by Iometer.

Next time, please use this form for long URL : Link Thanks.

Honold, now you impress me. You posted your reply not even fifteen seconds after I posted the thread. Maybe not even ten. Must have a HyperTransport bus between brain and fingers...

Some interesting anomalies - the drives tested (purchased retail) perform on par with the BETA drives tested by SR and X-Bit - which raises the question, did some BETA models make it into the wild, or has WD supplied SR and other review sites "optimised" drives (a la NVIDIA)? Hmmm... I love a...

Thanks :D

What's the damned Linux command people use to copy a partition (or entire drive) to another, as Ghost does? And does it work with NTFS volumes? I forgot it and I need it. That, or another way to copy a NTFS partition to another. Ghost/DriveCopy/Partition Magic out of question. I don't have...

Read it right here. It's well made for a heatsink review IMO. Their conclusion is pretty much the same thing as Mercutio has been killing himself to tell us during the past year or so.

Found a review of the Pc-5/6 at Dan's Data. Rear fan exhaust seems bad for airflow. Apart from that, it looks like a pretty good case. Three fans and even a dust filter included. I am tempted...

Their online ordering system sucks. You have to provide a valid e-mail address and they contact you later to give you details about shipping cost. No way AFAIK to know how much they'll charge to ship your order else than the e-mail exchange. This is slow and inefficient. Buy there only if...

So I guess you think the cooling potential is quite acceptable, right? What about the noise level of the stock fans? Is your PC-65 has a removable motherboard tray (PC-5 AFAIK doesn't)? Any quirk I should know before clicking on "checkout"? Will it rain or will it be be sunny tomorrow?

The first and only 47GB SCSI drives that pops up in my mind is the brick-like Seagate Elite 5400rpm 5¼" size, full heigh drive. I remember someone (probably at SR) who bought a few some months ago. You can't put many of them in your enclosure, even if its a full tower, since they draw so much...

I was a little pissed to see that it reset some of my disabled services, but apart that, no real biggies.

So, is it a good case or not. I've never played with a Lian-Li enclosure. I generally read good comments about them, but I don't know how they compare to the Antec like the SX600 for instance. I just need the enclosure, not the PSU. I'm very tempted to go with the Lian-Li instead of buying...

Not sure, but I think only OpenBSD is audited.

With the amount of power newer processors draw, VRM quality is paramount for the reliability of a mainboard.

Dual-phase VRM. Not very interested. I had a choice between this one and the Shuttle 38N two weeks ago. Chose the Shuttle and I don't regret it. The Asus has more features, but doesn't seem as reliable IMO. I would get the Shuttle 39N (KT400 instead of the KT333CF of the 38N) over the A7V8X-X.

That's great CityK. Only problem is that Zx's motherboard has a 440LX chipset instead of the 440BX...

I've seen Sony's new 17" SDM-HS73 and 19" SDM-HS93 flat panels. They look very good. I don't mind the large frame. The overall design is still nice looking. And the picture quality was above-average compared to the other models I've seen, even the Samsung (like the 191N, not the 213T though).

You're the first one I thought about when I saw that announcement. Don't know why :roll:

Saw it first at X-bit Labs. From the press release : <blockquote>The Maxtor 300GB 5400 RPM Hard Drive Retail Kit offers the following: * 300GB of storage - enough for up to 462 games, 75,000 4-minute MP3 tunes or 300,000 high-resolution digital photos * * Maxtor's exclusive Ultra...

Right there, I knew what was to follow would be, for sure, of Nobel price nomination level. You're absolutely right. And I'm sure that everyone else here thought, just like I did, about you for being the next one to be nominated as moderator at StorageReview.com. I even sent a PM to Eugene to...

Just tried Scribe. Like it. Neat. Thanks for bringing it up.

I just blessed SR's forum with my presence a few minutes ago. Happy? Maybe we should create a new user named "The Saver" and another one being called "The Messiah" and pour our infinite wisdom into SR once again? [/under drugs mode --- coffee was strong] I still do visit SR's froum every...

You American fellows have 1400$ 21" Samsung flat panels stock at local stores... ...Damn I hate you all. It's unfair, you ear me. UNFAIR! Here, pretty much the only monitors that are in stock at computer stores are low-end Viewsonic A series, low-end LG, low-end Samsung and low-end NEC...

June 11th press release, hmmm... Guess I was on another planet last week.

Just saw that ten minutes ago on the price list of one of my suppliers. Maybe I missed something, but I wasn't awared of any previous SATA drives from Western Digital except the 10Krpm 36GB Raptor. Model numbers are WD1200JD and WD1600JD for the 120GB and 160GB respectively. Both features 8MB...

Ihsan ...oops.

Yep, already a decade past for the most popular BSD operating system. You can see how fine their OS has become by downloading version 5.1 from their web site or by ordering the CDs from online stores like FreeBSD Mall. ...and James and Ishan will provide the technical suport for all us BSD...
