Update : I installed TYAN's own monitoring software. I started FAH on both CPUs in within 30s, their temps past from 61C (when at idle) to 64C and climbing. All temps across the board (VR1, VR2, AGP, etc) are at 61C and above when at idle and now (2 minutes after I started FAH) at 62C and...

Oh and the generic TNT2's (M64 too, if it wasn't bad enough already) image quality is aweful. There's no other word. At 1280x1024, everything is so blurry that I sometimes have to guess a few letters in small font caracters. Even though graphics aren't a priority on a server box, there's low...

The BIOS, when I reboot the computer. I know there are better ways, but I don't know much about these programs. Could you suggest one? Motherboard Monitor is a name I ear often. Clocker, does it take something like 10 or 15 seconds for your motherboard to resume when you reboot. I know...

The customer decided to take the risk and to continue with that box. The seller will replace components if they fail. Fine with me. So I powered up the box as is this afternoon. Just installing the first components of Win2K Server and both CPU were at 79C after the first restart. As I was...

In fact, I believe it's 100MHz quad-pumped, but all in all, it's equivalent.

You don't need to, but of course your chances to avoid problems and maybe obtain slightly better performance are better with the current release. If you feel guilty about it, I still run the v3.00 on my Linux box, although both Winblows computers are using v3.1

Me too, and it's when I realized it wasn't that I decided to post it here.

P4-M are the mobile version of the desktop Northwood Pentium 4. And yes, they are still on the 400MHz FSB and feature 512K L2 cache.

That's what we are currently trying to do. I re-checked the list I offered him instead of the box he got and I dropped a tear. I will ask him to change the whole enclosure, not ust the PSU. Anyway, the moron bent the case when he screwed in the PSU so the case is already damaged. About the...

You're not alone to find it quite humorous.

Thanks guys. I will try to make him change the PSU at least, but the whole enclosure should be. It's not just the fact that it's very thin, it's because there's no airflow within it. We recommended to go for a dually so that the customer should be good for 5 years without upgrading, With...

Forget it, I found the only english part of the front page and was able to fill the form, although I don't see why your government would pay attention to a petition signed by foreigners.

I would like to Prof. but where's the damn place where I'm supposed to click to sign my name. Everything is in Greek, how am I supposed to understand? French ok, English no problem, German, Spanish and Latin I can always guess and figure it out. But Greek, no way.

Interestingly, the south bridge on that motherboard is the fixed "B2" revision. However, on the board's layout, it's written twice and quite clearly that it's the 2466, not 2466-4M. Clocker, do you have the -4M and does the marking on the motherboard indicates 2466 or 2466-4M? I might have...

I'll show the customer this document from AMD : http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/25823.pdf His PSU is very borderline for the +3.3V and +5V wres, while it is underpowered for the +12V wire (PSU rated at 15A while AMD requires 16.5A). The PSU is a Young...

34$CDN! I hate you.

More than 3000 posts on the old SR forum, nearing 700 here, doubtless several others elsewhere and you still don't know what IIRC means :eekers: Unreal. Do you have a yellow spot of glue somewhere? :P Just joking Clocker, I'm tired, sorry. IIRC : If I recall correctly others... FWIW ...

Could you people please stop the bad news announcements for tonight? I already have my dose, thanks. One thing sure, I'll boycot Maxtor for the upcoming months, no matter how good their D780X are for such a poor decision.

Oh shit, it's getting worst! The front panel of the cheapo enclosure has one of its retention pin broken and it is loose. The bandit tried to fix it ... with glue! There's a yellow spot of glue on the side of the panel, I can't believe it! It looks like wood glue...to keep together a plastic...

Thanks Kevin, I'm glad to know that the computer I was supposed to have in front of me now would work great. But the POS I currently have infront of me isn't what I expected to be. [brief explanation] You see, I spec'ed a dual-socket-A system for a customer needing a MySQL database about a...

Hi, I will configure latter this evening a dual-Athlon MP setup on the motherboard I named in the thread title. I think at least one of you has that motherboard and in order to avoid possible issues when I'll configure it (this IS serious stuff, no shit allowed), I'm seeking user experiences...

Jake, have you considered the price of the Volcano 6Cu vs Volcano 7+? Here, the former cost 18$CDN and the latter 45$CDN. I simply cannot put a heatsink in my maintream boxes that cost half of the price of an Athlon XP 1600+ (96$CDN here) in order to remain competitve with the competition. If...

Here it is : http://www.coolermaster.com/products/cpucooler/fcpga/cp5-6j31c.html It looks good and it's certified up to 2600+ rating. Although I would have prefered a clip that can be installed without a screw, it must be better than average if it's anything like most of the other...

The link no longer works for me. Neither does the one on Anadtech's news section. I guess it means Microsoft pulled the plug on it, probably because they don't want people to bash it publicly with news of security holes (there will be some soon for sure and I don't need a cristal ball to...

I've been tempted by Hansol monitors some three or four years ago. PC Magazine gave one of their higher-end model good comments in a 19" round up (I think it was October '97 or '98), but I didn't find any supplier for them back then. Since that time, Hansol seems to have quit high-end and even...

It is, unfortunately, our last day in front of team Xtreme Systeme. We've given a good battle, but now it's lost. Sad.

Any chance that F@H works under FreeBSD? I downloaded the 4.6.2 iso and I'm damn tempted to give it a shot, be it just to compare how it fares against Linux (RedHat 7.3, kernel 2.4.18, KDE 3.0).

EDIT! EDIT! sriver = driver. DAMN!

And it's in the download section of the front page. This release is supposed to enhanced substantially the performances of the memory sub-system of the nForce chipset as well as improving the stability and audio quality of the integrated Dolby 5.1 within the MCP...

Hey, no wonder why. At his age, he must be on a semi-retirement plan. That gives him plenty of time to search the Net for cool-looking avatars :P

Hmmm, if you mean that I added the link after Gary posted it on the forum, then yes.

The link is also on the front page, if people want to get it from there. Thanks Gary.

The GIF version of the 1.15MB PNG file weighted in 293KB while the J-PEG only took 93.2KB of space. I doubt you can shave so much on the GIF to make it more than 3x lighter.

Hmmm.... I was wrong, jpeg is sharp enough and, while subtile, there is a visible loss in color gradient in .gif format. I guess I'm too used to screwed screen shots in jpeg. Other kind of pictures don't show the same effects. Consider I have never post in this thread.

JPG would create jitters that would make the small text on the drive's label unreadable. A .gif using an optimized 8-bit palette would be boot sharp and small in size, while there would be enough colors to display the drive correctly. I'll do the test to be sure, but that's what I'm going to...

Last time it happened to me was when I kicked my Linux box out of the desk while under power (bad day on stock market). Delta PSU, not Leadman though. I didn't know PSUs could do that without being "pro-active" about it. The few other PSUs that died on me prior to the Delta did it in silence.

FreeBSD is only at 4.62 now (and only since August 15th - two weeks ago), not 5.0. How can you have a copy of an un-released version? I personally would like to give FeeBSD a shot someday because I heard great things about it, but my practical knowledge about it is close to nil. I tried...

I too try to only sell Win 2K, but it's becoming increasingly difficult. Several stores only offer WinXP over here now and there is pressure everywhere to turn to WinXP. It's almost like if Microshit didn't distribute Win2K copies anymore. I too hope that Linux will mature soon.

IMO, not for RAID 1. For RAID 3 or 5 maybe, but not RAID 1.

I haven't read much of his apparently huge contribution at SR. Only two posts when he had already over 420. I dunno if it is Jason, but maybe he's a relative. Regarding the thread moving from SR to here, I must admit that I don't really care. After the database lost at SR, I have pretty much...

You expect me to read 225 posts, of a challenging thread I never followed, before your poll expires? Crazy or what?

I saw it earlier on Ars Technica's forum. I think it's been released at least since yesterday. Thanks for pointing it out though. Although I have a burner in my main box, I haven't used it for months. Updating Nero isn't so important as it once was in my case.

I'll wait a bit before showing you my piece of art Bill. For an unknown reason, the file doesn't want to download correctly when I send it via FTP to my web space (errors at about the third of the whole file). The very nice work that a charitable soul did for me shows up well though. But...

Fuck off Tabarnack. I give up. Even with Buck's precious help, I still haven't been able to create something I would be proud of. I fought with the "/%$/?@ !!! drawing programs for the last 24 hours to no avail. I came up with something that I would have been able to create when I was 6...

Jason with a beard?

I'm a sophisticated biker Bill, I drink coffee far more often than beer. Besides, I don't believe that a self-depicting picture would inspire trust to my customers if that would be my logo.

I always associated PowerPoint with old secretaries. No way I'm gonna use this for the logo of my prestigious company ;-) Seriously, it's probably true that I could create something more or less ok with PP, but so far I really like what I can do with Corel Draw. I haven't finished yet, but...

JKKJ, CorelDraw works great so far! I can do what I want with it, although it's still a pain compared to a pencil an a sheet of paper. I haven't finished yet, but I think I'll be able to do something I'll be proud of. Thanks for the tip.

Nope, I haven't tried Corel Draw, but maybe I should since I also have it. However, since a bunch of people already offered their help, I will wait a bit before I make another try. Thank you all for your kind help.

Refresh your browser Tony. It is now 7.0, but your browser probably shows you what's in your cache. I installed Netscape 7 and it feels bloater than the bare Mozilla. Browsing is a bit slower on Netscape than on Moz, probably because the former is based on Moz 1.01 instead of the new and...
