Tony, While I won't advance myself regarding what's the fastest at similar rating between the P4 and the Athlon XP (because the answer varies depending on what applications you intend to use), quoting figures taken from AMD's web site as proof for your position will not be very persuavive to...

I'm pretty sure of my hit on this one and I'm merely seeking confirmation. On my pricelists appeared a few power supply units from ChannelWell with similar power ratings as those in the Antec TruePower series. ChannelWell is a name I have heard before, so I thought I was up for something here...

FINALLY! haaaa....relief

I'm satisfied of RC3 (or final, as you wish) mainly because it fixes the bugs I had with RC2. I wasn't so eager to update my RC1 to RC2 since that on the machine I installed it (not the same that the one I had problems with). RC1 already ran relatively fine and only a few program updates pushed...

And IT WORKS! It's called the .execlient 3.24 B. No more segmentation fault and having to edit the client.cfg in order to make it work. On a side note, Mandrake 9.1 (dubbed RC3 on their mirrors) has been released yesterday and in my case, it fixes most of the bugs that prevent me from using...

Apparently yes :-( I have the installer here. It is fairly small and I might put it online if I receive the permmission from my almighty webmaster. IIRC, the installer is only 10K. Tomorrow evening maybe.

Ok, I give up. Can someone with more patience than I have make him understand that both the 2100+ and 2700+ share the same 13x multiplier and therefore will both operate at the exact same frequency when set at a given FSB frequency?

The word I was looking for was "marketing", not advertisement. The babelfish system between my ears went down for a brief moment. I'm shaking, really. Oh wait, it's because I left the window opened...

Three things I don't like about the Soltek SL-75FRN-L : Yellow dual-phase VRM Doesn't use the MCP-T However, it seems to be the most optimised nForce2 board when used at default frequency. If I were to build a FAH farm, I would probably use that board since the systems would a) need to be very...

You gotta be kidding me. Overclocking? Nope. The above is named remarking. Overclocking is the fact of running a chip above its default specifications. It is legal. Remarking isn't. Remarking involves overclocking. Overclocking doesn't involve remarking.

No. A 2100+ operates at 1.733.....GHz with a 133MHz FSB. At 166MHz FSB with its 13x multiplier, it will be clocked at 2.16666....GHz. 2158MHz is when you use simplify numbers. The real frequency of an o/ced 2100+ on a 166MHz FSB isn't 2158MHz, it's 2.167MHz (the 6 is theorically periodical...

I think this can be call "agressive advertisement" ;-)

Gary, we all know you're from the grass-smoking generation, but do you have to make it so obvious? ;-)

Close but no cigar. A 2100+, typically working on a 133MHz FSB frequency, will operate at 2.17GHz if FSB o/ced to 166MHz. 2.17GHz is the default frequency of the T'bred 2700+. The 2600+ works at 2.133GHz IIRC.

AFAIK, both the PII and the Tualatin are un-unlockable. What's limiting you in the case of the Tualatin isn't the FSB, it's the CPU maximal frequency. Tualatin are good up to 1.5 to 1.6GHz. A 1.4GHz Tualatin with a 14x multiplier therefore won't be able to reach 133MHz FSB since it would...

Microsoft has put DirectX 9.0a on their web site. Many questioned the maturity of the first 9.0 version of DirectX, telling that it wasn't even at beta level. DirectX 9.0a is supposed to contain many bug fixes. Perhaps this should have been the true 9.0 afterall?

Weight = 773g No thanks

Oh wow, here's CIA wonder boy coming to the rescue. What's your number, secret agent? 00...0?

I do, but I rarely reply to them since they, for the most part, reflect my opinion as well. My post count is already inflated enough that I don't feel the need to just quote you and add "dito".

Time, The thermal resistance has a lot to do with the thermal dissipation area. The KestrelKing II is a heatsink for the Opteron platform, which feature a large dissipation surface much like Pentium 4. The heat transfer is therefore a lot easier to make and the thermal resistance is lower...

My apologies...for the amount of spelling mistakes I did in my two previous posts here. I'm using a shitty keyboard and I guess I wasn't very awaken when I previewed the above this morning. I almost look like an illiterate now :( Dozer, You didn't come off in the way you expressed your...

I won't say that I am against a regime change in Iraq. Saddam should have been thrown out at least 12 years ago and not helped in the previous two decades. However, loooking how the U.S. fared in the past everytime they overthrown a regime and put another one in place afterward, I cannot say...

It greatly depends on the data to be stored on those drives. If it was important data, JBOD wouldn't be used to begin with. So I'll vote with the assumption that this data isn't of critical importance. The more spindle = the more speed. Sure, having more drive means greater chances to have...

Yeehoo! Hurray! Let's all suddenly turn out into a bunch of mindless Bush-loving sheeps! Let's all close our eyes and mind on the true reasons behind this nonsense war! I'm so proud, it's unreal! The sad part is that you really believe that crap. You and Howell have been spoon-feeded by...

I switched from subsilver to the new default theme. I like it much more than the old white theme. Thanks Doug.

Do you have one one WhisperRock III close in order to compare? Also, could you run something that'll make the CPU work a lot, like FAH for instance? A smaller cooler that is just as effective and relatively quiet seems like a good deal to me. The ultimate question is : Will you use it in...

It isn't me you have to fear, it's Handruin. I predict he will pass both of us eventually.

If you look at the map of America, particularly the North America, intelligence can be found for sure in an area located in the Northern East corner of the continent. ;-) My excuses to my neighboors of the South, the opportunity was too good to be missed.

Where's the Grammar Police when we need it? ...and I would take the Asus a7n266-vm over any KM266-based board any day.

Well, although the overclocking potential of Thoroughbred processors was obvious to many, this new should be seen like a confirmation. Many of us should be VERY happy about it.

On the contrary, order a Thinkpad! The T40 and especially the T40p, although quite pricey, are probably so far the best implementation of Centrino yet. Light (unlike the 7lbs Latitude), very optimized (topped the Delll in almost every benchmarks - excluding gaming) and with a superior battery...

BTW, the 03-18-03 build finally fixes the annoying XHMTL rendering bug, so pages like NCIX now display properly with Phoenix (or Tucson).

I found an interesting article at OSNews.com comparing 5 different desktop environments. Criterias were Look and Feel, Usability, Consistency, Integration, Flexibility, Speed, Stability and Bugs and Technology, Programming Framework, Conclusion

Yes James, I saw this page a few months ago, but I haven't read it in detail yet. This solution would be even better if it would include a how-to guide to make all the clients run the windows version through Samba, since the Win32 FAH client is much more performant than the Linux one. But I...

A nice gadget. I'm not too fund of Bluetooth though, so I will pass on this toy. For once, wallet agrees with me.

Don't believe me? I happened to have taken a picture of my main box last week (I even sent it to Merc). And since I still have the camera I borrowed to take that picture, I shot my main rig after the "mod" BEFORE AFTER The hammer only slipped on the front panel (hit the side, but since...

Why does OpenOffice always has so much difficulties to read/modify documents made with its previous versions? I installed 1.02 on my main computer after I cleaned up and re-installed Win2K and it generates errors almost on every damn document I try to open that was made with OO 1.01. It's...

I have followed the thread about the new name of Phoenix distantly, but I haven't seen any name clearly standing out in it. BTW, the "new" Phoenix will also look quite different from the one people have known from 0.5 and earlier. I'm currently using the build of March 4th and I'm quite...

I'm sure everyone here has heard about the new CPU/platform from Intel for the mobile market. I missed it on the front page due to a relatively charged schedule, but I think it still deserrves at least a thread in the forum. There have been several reviews about the Pentium-M on the Web, most...

The news I'm waiting for is the release of a fixed Linux client that'll work fine with glibc 2.3.1. Now, we have to install a proxy and lure the client regarding ports if we want to make it work without a segmentation fault. It's lame. The problem has been known since last Fall and they still...

No idea again about what has changed since 7.02 (or even 7.01 for that matter). I'm sure you can find the changelog at opera.com though.

Sony's first generation recorder will land on Japanese retail shelves on April 10, at a price of $3,815. It looks similar to the prototype Blu-ray player that Sony showed at the Ceatec show in Japan last October. To support the new machine, Sony also announced its first generation Blu-ray...

Tech-report.com had a reference design motherboard from VIA and they, of course, pit it against an nForce2-based mainboard : an Asus A7N8X-Deluxe for the occasion. So, are VIA's claim founded or not? Read the review to find out.

Thanks Tony. I'm not the only one who wrote something I fell is worth reading though.

Have you noticed the two banner adds from HyperMicro on Anandtech? Guess they found themselves another publicity windows. No wonder where is the drive coming.

See what I mean about information control? Think hard about it. I mean, real hard. North Korea has tremendous manufacturing capabilities compared to Iraq for everything that concerns the infamous "weapons of mass destruction" that your uncle Bush constantly says he is so concerned about...

I wouldn't mind if you were saying "Java isn't good for this" or "Java isn't the most appropriate tool for that". But "Java sucks, period", I mean, come on. None of the companies/softwares I dislike can rationally be described as "sucks, period". If they are famous and widespread, it's...

Honold, what are you trying to do here? You think that because this language doesn't fit your particular needs that no one should waste time using it? For what it's worth, you are certainly a better programmer than I am. However, I know that millions of people use Java to develop their...

I like the idea.

What's that Clocker? A collection of the most narrow-minded American public personalities? Besides, laughing of France because they weren't able to resist the Germans during WWII is silly. No one here was born when that war ended. The world has changed a lot since. Not that they don't...
