To mods : Please move this thread in the appropriate forum. Piyono, You registered here more than a year ago. One would guess you should know about the place. Tut tut tut, hamster memory :P.

One of the several problems of your government is that it often guess or presumes, but seldom ask.

Time hit the nail on the head. U.S and U.K. will both give big money contracts to companies of their respective countries (especially those who financially supported the party on power) and in return, they'll get oil for cheap. The most ironic statement I've heard thoughout this entire war was...

....And many people from the country of my ancestors : Scotland.

Learn French, come here and vote "yes" on the next référendum ;-)

If you bought a 9500 Pro, you won't be able to achieve 9700 Pro-like scores. At best you'll end up with glorified 9500 Pro-like scores. With a 9500 non-Pro though, it's a different story. I trust Groltz's judgement on the matter.

It looks like it is trailing a few generations back by looking at the spec sheet. Viewing angles and contrast ratio were not comparable to those of the newer models. If it's cheap and you think it answers the need of some of your customers (most probably office users), then why not. There's...

Looks like some of the cheaper Enermax enclosures sold at twice that price. If you want to increase your chances to like it, cut holes (usually with a dremel) where the fan spots are and put grills instead. The too tiny holes won't allow appropriate air flow and will cause an increase of the...

Linux's Kernel might be very stable, but the applications running on top of it are significantly less stable than the average of those for the Windows platform. XFree86 and friends are just too easy to freeze, it's frustrating. This comes from a Microsoft hater, so it should tell you...

Too bad you have decided to boycott Asus. Their A7N266-VM would have made it possible to stay below your 200$ limit. Others already gave a few suggestions not involving the graphic card (I don't believe that the integrate Savage 4 of the Biostar would be appropriated for image editing of any...

We'll probably witness a boom of VIA-based motherboards for the Pentium 4 platform as a result of the agreement. Expect Pentium 4 chipsets prices to drop too. Bottom line : good news for the customers.

I have used AVG once last year, but I prefer Eset's NOD32. Back then, I used the trial version. Was not aware there was a free version. I'll try it, since it's free.

Either buy a 128MB 9500 non-Pro or a 9700 (then again, non-Pro offers better value). I know that Sapphire's 9500 128MB can be modified into a 9700. Some cards do it without problem while others can't since the GPU on the 9500 sometimes has some defective pipelines and enabling all 8 results...

Just look at the PCB, can't miss the 6 transistors and three coils. VR-Zone : If some of the most recent EPoX EP-8RDA+ feature the new SPP C1 stepping, I strongly presume that the newer FIC AU13 does also. I'm pretty sure FIC launched this model partly because it features the official support...

The full story can be found here at Beta News.

Vlad's cat looks like a fairly young one.

Hmmm... Apparently, from the picture Doug has shown above, he didn't receive the plain NF7, but the full-featured NF7-S. And the improved revision 1.2 of it to top that. A pleasant surprise.

Sorry, guess I was too tired (and still am). I meant flowers, not floor. Translater down time. I was simply having fun with your remark, no second thoughts about it.

Try liquid paper if you're short on grease.

The floors... ..and the floors' pot. ;-)

No, because since it only features a 2.1GB/s bandwidth, shared between the CPU and graphic, it shouldn't perform any better than what you see. It's about on par with a GeFarce 2MX 200 IIRC. This board isn't intended for gamers. And not even for games to start off. But it's a very nice...

It isn't? Oh well, I guess this must be my imagination then. I am sure this is the one you have.

The Asus A7N266-VM is based on the nForce 220-D chipset, which only features a 64bit memory bus, not the dual thing like the 415 and 420 chipsets. So there's no dual-channel options for this motherboard.

[searching Merc's address on Yahoo white pages] I guess it won't be Prof.Wizard who's gonna eat that Micropolis-full bag once I can get my hands on you for this unforgivable mistake...

Now now now. Kid got it all wrong and nobody had the heart to tell him. First thing first. Those parts aren't "gifts". You are granted the right to play with them, but under some conditions. You see Doug, we collectively decide some weeks ago that something had to be done about our lame...

So far so good, but I have only played once a game of Serious Sam since I installed it. I haven't installed any version of Media Player since 6.4 I think. But now every time (well, only twice in the last month, from forum links) I try to see an online video, I'm asked to download WMP 9 or it...

And I shouldn't have written "upcoming" for the FIC AU13 since it's already available at a few stores, like Newegg for instance (and at a tempting price too).

The title should have been "EPoX and FIC won't..." instead of "on't"

Although the current FIC AU11 and EPoX EP-8RDA are basicly the same board, it won't be the case for their soon-to-come nForce2 boards with the C1 stepping (written A1 on the SPP) that will officially supports 400MHz FSB for the new AMD Barton. FIC AU13 picture : EPoX EP-8RDA3+ picture ...

I've seen that signature before. Sivar?

I'm all for it. No problem for me to test a bunch of new and bleeding edge computer parts. I volunteer. And Québécois (Quebecois for accents-deprived keyboards) is exact. I prefer indépendantiste to séparatiste, but both are miles better than the bloody fédéralistes. Perhaps, but the goal...

Apparently, roden is spelled rodent. Sorry. I seldom write about those small mammals in English.

A "vole" is a "campagnol" in French. Here's what a campagnol is : An european roden. Like a rat, but smaller. I like the comparison with Microsoft.

I hope AMD's stocks will react well. Bought them at 12.25U$ :( Microsoft has every reason to push for AMD. The bigger AMD is, the smaller the market share of Intel will be and therefore, the least Intel will have influence over Microsoft. With around 85% of the PC market, Intel can now...

It appeared yesterday on my pricelist (although still back ordered). 259$CDN for 36GB. About twice the price of a 40GB 7200rpm ATA drive, which typically cost 125$CDN.

Did I read correctly? This guy confused me for a canadian? Me...a CaNaDiAn? :eekers: Québec is not Canada, Tabarnack! My flag is blue (), not red. What's next, Bush mistaken for a French? Clarification had to be made. You're right. I take a walk to Brazil every week-end when I have an...

Ok. ? Europeans are generally more expressive people than you are, so maybe that's why you perceived their disagreement with your politics was in fact hate. I don't think it's the case. All French people I heard (not on the Net, but in real life) didn't hate you. They were often disgusted by...

My LG burner, although defaced, still works flawlessly. No hiccups when burning all three Mandrake 9.1 ISOs. I only buy the very best stuff, I told you already.

Burning a flag is no reason for being rolled over by a thank. Whatever she was doing, thanks had nothing to do anywhere close where the protestors were. Israeli way to handle civil crowd is barbaric and unforgivable. They aren't the only ones to use shameful methods against protestors though...

I don't have the board here, only the manual for one I sold last Fall. There were still two DIP switch blocks back then for 100MHz/133MHz/166MHz.

What temperatures report your monitoring software? Did you just bump the FSB or did you change the multiplier to reach those frequencies?

Because of a sudden anger spike, provoked by inconsistent scrolling, I've played (again) in another episode of "how it's made" (easier to figure out when it's broken into several parts), this time with my one year and a half old electronic roden. So there I was, this evening, looking for a new...

The slot adventure was caused by the inability, at the time, to integrate large L2 cache into the same die as the microprocessor. As soon as they've been able to master (ie - improved their yield to decent levels) how to put large amount of fast L2 cache into the same die as the rest of the...

I don't think the MicroFlow II you bought are inferior even to an improved WhisperRock III. The MicroFlow II is a better overall cooler : smaller and slightly more effective plus a better clip design. Almost as silent and you paid only 2$ more per cooler than you would have for the new...

That's because your GigaByte doesn't have AGP/PCI bus lock when the FSB is bumped. Several nForce2 boards have this feature, which can be very useful when you have sensible peripherals hooked on the PCI bus.

I remember having read that post from Reparation too.I never wrote that CWT was the only supplier of Antec's PSU (I wrote "one of"). The SX lineup Reparation mentioned isn't sold anymore AFAIK. The current two main series of Antec PSU are the Solution Series and the TruePower Series. There...

Everything's fine now. I forgot to set the transfer in binary mode the first time. :oops:

Ok, don't download this. For a reason I ignore, the file I've put online doesn't work as the file on my hard drive. "put dx90a.exe", in FTP from the directory where the file is, should work, no? Sorry for the temporary technical problem.

Almighty Web master granted me the right to put the installation file online. Get it here and be forever grateful to the almighty Web master.

Thanks for the link. The 420W is a different model than the 430W, but I see the thread. CWT must be one of Antec's suppliers for their PSU units. The 86$ 430W ChannelWell, even in case it wouldn't be the same as the TruePower, probably is a very high quality PSU nonetheless and surely worthes...
