Well, someone had to replace Eric Blair... ;-)

Title says all. A gracieuseté of Jake, JoJo and I.

Come on! People have a better memory than that. I still remember King Quest 1 and it is 21 years old. I even remember where I was stuck and that I've never been able to finish it.

I would guess so since ATI put a version of the CATALYST 2.5 for the Radeon 7000 on their web site. You can download the CATALYST 2.5 for Radeon 7000 under Windows 2000 by clicking here.

I upgraded this evening the VIA 4in1 driver and ATI CATALYST driver on the latest box I built. I ran 3D Mark 2001 build 330 when I had the 4in1 4.43 and CATALYST 2.4 and it gave me a score of 7167 with an ATI Radeon 8500LE 64MB. Now, with the latest version of both drivers, the score has...

I forgot the password/e-mail combo I used back when I created the team. I tried several, but none worked. I guess we won't see our new logo for a while :( Would it be possible for you Doug to place a copy of our logo in a directory matching the place where Standford's website is looking for it?

Too bad I missed that thread. I wonder if Western Digital really ships some WD600JB with 60GB platters. It might worth trying to play the screwed customer card to get them to ship a "match-expectation" hard drive.

IMO, same shit differently. Read their recent article on the SiS648 motherboards? Now they place MSI as the most optimized model and GigaByte among the slowest. Microstar optimized? Old Tom must be looking for new revenue ways in these low advertizement income days. Tom's Hardware is to...

This Gecko-based browser is supposed to be a lighter version of Mozilla. Release 0.5 takes less memory than the previous releases and it fits in only 6.1MB for the Winblows version. It is pretty fast too. You can get it here (or the Linux version) Learn more about it on their home page.

It might be a good thing to include onboard RAM with the motherboards if it was some kind of low latency, large L3 cache level memory. Much like the L3 of the new dual PowerMAC for instance, but with something like 64MB or 128MB. This is a similar amount of RAM than the one found on many...

I'm the one who created the team. I'll see tomorrow if I can change the picture. We have apparently lost the precious contribution of JBarkdale. Sad, he was a prolific member for our team.

You don't remember correctly. Promise controllers, despite all their bugs, are way better than HighPoint's. I think much like Mark on the subject. I don't think it would worth it for your friend to spend big money on a 3Ware controller if he simply wants to add another few non-RAIDed HDDs to...

Read my second post in this thread. The transfer rate is similar to the one of the 180GB & 200GB using 60GB platters. I didn't see the configuration tab though. One way or the other, their spec sheet for the WD600JB is screwed. The advertized transfer rate should be much lower, around...

The drive is indeed quiet. But I am very disapointed with the results. Winbench 99 2.0 show transfer rates similar to those of the 40GB/platter WD800JB instead of something closer to the WD2000JB. Beginning : 49300KB/s End : 28600KB/s Disk Access Time : 13.6 CPU Utilisation % : 0.51 (with...

Barton with 512K L2 cache and 400MHz FSB frequency should be quite a competitor for Intel in the middle-end market. And personally, since the Athlon are way superior to the Pentium 4 in @home applications, they'll will remain my main choice for a while.

Having just a single platter into them must help quite a bit to reduce the heat/noise level for the WD400JB and WD600JB. BTW, I've just received it, but haven't assembled the whole system yet. Expect results for tomorrow. CityK, did you get it from an online store? Or was it just a local shop?

It's more than weird for me to be called "Sir". Myself and the Queen aren't exactly close friends and we don't share much in common from an ideological point of view. You could in fact even say that for the Queen, I'm some kind of Anti-Christ (I'm anti-aristocratic and I despise any type of...

I sell the WD600JB for 165$ CDN, that's around 105U$. Figure out that prices here are typically a bit higher than in the States as the lowest price for the WD800JB here is 192$CDN (123U$). You had a great deal Steve.

Check the advertised transfer rate of the WD600JB compared to the 40/80/120GB models. The 60GB Special Edition is clearly above the others. While I have no proof that it features 60GB platters, the specifications strongly hint that it has higher density platters than the older...

If you remember, I told you about a few mistakes in the graphs of this article and they haven't been corrected yet. For instance : The green line is supposed to be the average of the five best scores. However, we can clearly see that the five highest red quares are located above that green...

Yes, it is.

The 60GB Special Edition Caviar with a single 60GB platter will soone enter my testing lab. I put it in a box with WinXP Home installed for a friend/customer. I'll run a few benchmarks on it and I'm eager to see how it will rank among the other members of the Special Edition family from...

Blackerwry, Don't even think about it.

I loggued in to post exactly this. Get it here.

There's nothing strange there. Both Doug and I work full-time jobs and, personnaly, the first time I want to do when I come back home isn't necessarily to loggin on my mail account just to check in case someone submitted a news. This evening, I arrived at 17h10 (I left at 6h45 this morning)...

Eudora. Version 5.2 is out BTW (I still use 5.1).

Both Bill and Gary are older than Mark (who is younger than Tony too, but not by much IIRC). Tea, at five years old (or maybe 6 now) is by far our youngest regular ;-) I'm somewhere between Tea and Bill, but somewhat closer to Bill... I though Jake was your real first name. We learn...

Nevermind. It's just me not yet used to the new front page news system.

Did you submit a news? I just checked and saw nothing.

If I were to buy an nForce2-based motherboard, I would opt for the one from Leadtek. You can read AMDmb.com's review of it, as well as the one by Bjorn3D and this translation of an article by Hardtecs4U. This board is available at NewEgg for much less than the Asus and it seems just as good...

Uppon verification, the LSI adapter coming in a white box kit cost only 89U$ and it comes with a 5 position LVD cable. It used to cost 119U$ (and it was cheap even then), so that's a great price. The item # at Hypermicro.com is LSIU160-WB and it is currently in stock.

An U160 SCSI adapter from LSI would be a reliable and cheap solution. HyperMicro used to sell those the last time I visited their site. If you get it from there, you'll have free shipping if you mention Storagereview.com in you order (if you live in the USA).

A bit late to ask but, why did you tried that ON YOUR OWN BOX instead of the student's system? Nevermind. It must have been quite an entertaining class, especially when the teacher realized what he did :)

Sorry but :rofl: I heard that so many times from wannabee geeks that nowadays, I cannot help but laugh. I'm such an evil man... I don't know how to recover an fdisk'ed drive. Maybe with an old version Norton Utilities for DOS, but that would be an exhausting task (and only if your drive is...

Just for the fun, also look at Nortel's and Lucent's shares (NT & LU).

Wow, that's a lot. Before I checked the answer, I guessed it should be around 500,000, but I wouldn't have think that it would be that much. Impressive.

Le voleur congelé de bicyclette would translate as The bicycle's frozen thief. Bicyclette is a motorless bicycle. A bike or motorcycle translates as "bicycle" and "moto" (only the snobs call it a "motocyclette"). Cuir-plaqué le Glacial : I supposed you wanted to translate "Leather-plated the...

I think it is a good read : http://www.vnunet.com/News/1137161 Interesting.

Panasonic TAU are probably the best you can currently find nowadays. Toshiba's flat screen TV are supposed to live forever, but the colors are lavish. Zenith also has high definition TV models, but I haven't seen them and I cannot comment on their reliability. Zenith is apparently a hit or...

Damn, I'm too used to the GA-8PE667 Pro's layout. The non-Pro GA-8PE667 also has an awkward location for the IDE connectors. Sure you don't want an onboard Intel Pro100 LAN?

For a common, no fancy toys, stable and reliable Pentium 4 motherboard, you can't go wrong with the GigaByte GA-8PE667. No onboard LAN/RAID/video, just an integrated Realtek 6-channel chip. You won't find much boards these days without integrated audio. The SuperMicro Gary pointed out is...

Usually, on Win2K : C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profilename\kjsdfskdg\ (or something like this) In this folder, you'll find the prefs file and the bookmarks. I keep a copy of my bookmarks in the C:\My Documents\

Yep, it is. I've used it for the last ten minutes and so far, I haven't notice much difference between it and the previous (1.1) version.

Continuum, at Arstechnica, has over 24000 post on his own. I wonder if he sometimes takes a break for peeing :roll:

That Plan 9 OS? Did you try it? (No / between the O and the S BTW)

Although Shuttle made a cube box with an Athlon CPU, I think they are waiting to make an nForce2-based design before they launch a truly high-end cube using the Athlon XP.

Is it because your co-workers are fat ladies you don't like that you call them that way? Andrew, Nowadays, less than 512MB of RAM in a laptop is a crime. Add another stick immediately.

Tony and Honold = CougTek and HellDiver Give it up guys. You were born to disagree. Better to accept it and consider that one thinks the contrary of the other. I and HellDiver have been able to coexist in harmony since we realized it.

There is a substantial price step between the 2100+ and the 2200+. Mercutio would blew up by going for the next speed grade. The 2100+ is guaranteed to work for 3 years if he uses it with the retail heatsink fan. I don't see a problem there.
