Yes, and now I see Bookmage's post, first on the second page. And the thread no longer shows as having new posts in the Computers sub-forum, nor does the main page indicate newness in that sub-forum. Back to normal for me (at least on this fabulous forum). Thanks for everything!

Yes, I am. I just tried (twice) on a 4th box, a Vista laptop, in FF, first clearing cache before having to log in. What th? But again, no big deal, just "interesting".

Interestinger (but no biggie). Had the issue on my Ubuntu box in FF; cleared cache, logged out, cleared cache, logged on again. Still have the issue, and, don't see the final Bookmage post in the thread - I have to specifically search for it. Same general symptoms on my Vista PC in FF, and on...

This thread in Computers seems to indicate new post-age, for the past 10 hours or so (at least for me). But the last post is "old" (2nd thumbnail).

This Popular Science article claims potential wider applicability, to refrigerators, air conditioners, etc.

Yes, much of the south and midwest in the U. S. is having a heat wave, and indeed feels like a Sauna.

Ars Tech: "Samsung laptop keylogger almost certainly a false positive".

I think he got on the wrong thread, and was referring to this one. Do you think that, after powering off, if he just made sure all the cables in the old board were plugged in to the exact same sockets in the new one, he'd be OK? That's assuming it's the same model except for the fixes on the...

Thanks, Chewy, that article is "interesting": "using a P67 motherboard with a discrete graphics card, Ubuntu 10.10 or any other modern distribution should work just fine." Oh, good, I can order my parts right now and build the box next week, while I wait for the numerous job offers to flow...

That is indeed an interesting alternative, Bing. But we know it's not really a doubling of the cores, just a hyper-ing of the threads. The effect on WCG HCC may be somewhat difficult to quantify; the Re: i5 2500K or i7 2600K? post in the WCG forums claims "up to 25% greater throughput...

Thanks for your kind responses so far, all. In the interim, the emphasis has shifted more strongly to the "budget" part of this subject - I recently quit my job, and I'm looking for another, so far without success. So the extra $100 for the 2600K over the 2500K is currently too rich for my...

Thanks for your responses. I had my qualms about the Hydro H50, and introducing liquid into a PC (other than caps :-D), so I'll probably go with air cooling. An SSD would blow about ⅓ of my budget, so I can't realistically consider one. I'm hoping that 8 GB of RAM would help cache a fair...

Hello, storag-ers. I'm considering the components for a new PC build in a couple of months. Primary usage would be the World Community Grid Help Conquer Cancer project, and taking over as my utility PC (browsing, E-mail, Open Office) from my current WCG-HCC box (Gigabyte 965P mobo, Core2 E5200...

Oh, great, just when I got my Nforce2 motherboard, VIA jumps ahead. I like the fact that the vt600 chipset has separate native support for both 4 parallel ATA devices and 4 serial ones (and RAID 0, 1 and 0+1). Possibly eliminating the need for a PCI ATA card.

Thanks for the replies so far. I have a Belkin Omniview F1DB102P already, and I'm looking at the F1DJ102P-B model ($59 @ BestBuy). That one comes with the cables, and claims to support video resolution of up to 1920x1440@65Hz. I've also seen KAVM switches - audio included. That would be nice.

I have one 2-way KVM switch already. If I get another, can I hook the outputs of the old one to one of the inputs of the new one, and another computer to the other input of the new one, to create a 3-way KVM? Of course, I can do the connections, but will it work correctly for all 3 computers -...

FWIW, I occasionally get an E-mail from Onvia.com about free Xerox color printers. I've never checked into it, but it may be worth a few clicks. www.freecolorprinters.com

Here's a link to a Nforcers HQ forum topic "Stop Grant Disconnect bit for nForce2 found!". This can produce lower temps, though possibly causing SoundStorm noise. In another topic in the "BIOSTAR, FIC, Albatron" section, somebody posted a link claiming a AU13 running their FSB at 210 MHz. I...

Looks like you're close to the FSB limit, Fushigi. Rodney Reynolds (the 3D Game Man) couldn't get his AU13 above 175 MHz, if I heard right. (I couldn't get the video working on his review, though.) So I guess I can give up my dream of AU13 @ 200 FSB. :cry: But anyhow, how cool is that...

How pleasant for you! I guess it met the challenge, budgetarily as well. I can't find too much online about the AU13, and I'd love to hear about someone getting to 200 MHz FSB before I get one. I E-mailed FIC, and they said "Yes, AU13+ does support AMD 200MHz FSB CPU but AU13 does not...

I simply must have a 2100+ or higher processor - my brother-in-law just got a Dell with a Pentium 2000. If it can overclock to >2000 MHz clock or 200 FSB, that's gravy, albeit very tasty gravy.

Thanks for the replies so far. I was thinking of a cheap-o case and an Antec True330, but the 380 would give me a little more headroom if I get more disk drives, and the Sonata is cheaper than a separate case and a True380. I have heard too much bad-mouthing to consider the ASUS, but I would...

Regular Expression. Pattern-matching for strings.

That's my guess. Funny construct, "unless not".

I don't know perl, but I'd bet that it means that, if the ACTION param is add, then set the errormessage string to "invalid hostname" if hostname is not a non-empty string consisting of alphanumeric, "_", or "-" characters.

Thanks for the quick response. I'm hoping that this motherboard is another classic, like the VA-503+.

If I'm reading right, you're running your XP at 133 MHz FSB, but your memory is capable of 166 (333 DDR). Are you actually running the memory at 333 DDR? What memory settings? Have you considered/tried upping the FSB to 166 and lowering the multiplier to 12.5 or 13, and sync-ing with memory...

Mmmm, AU13. I kiss you in my dreams. $85, in stock, at Newegg (very truly sorry they only ship in the U.S.). The manual verifies the 12 V rail. What is your source for 3-phase power and "official" 200 MHz FSB? OCWorkbench? 3rdGayMan?

I can't see them dslreports pix. Do you have to be a member?

Try to get a reference to your modem's AT command set. You could get it to report the DCE speed (modem-to-ISP) instead of the DTE speed (PC-to-modem). It can also tell you the protocol. Another real handy command some modems have is the ability to do a report after you disconnect. On my...

Okay, Prime95 ran for 7 hours on Knoppix, seemingly without a problem. I'll try a longer test, but I think it's pretty conclusive.

Okay, I've been off in a corner drooling with rapture about the raptor. But I did come up with a possible solution to my diagnostic problem, namely, using Linux on a CD to run Prime95. If that works for an extended period, it probably narrows it down to the OS install. I found such a beast...

I have a Compaq DeskPro EN Pentium 550 PC from work, running Win95B. No, that's not the problem in and of itself - there's more. It has been having problems when I VPN in to work: random blue-screens, freezes, or screwy error-boxes popping up. Since it's a work PC, I can't do anything...

The claim seemed to be that the BIOS is permanently corrupted, and couldn't be cleared - a BIOS chip replacement was required.

And now this. Spontaneous combustion of nF² BIOS's.

I must need new glasses, or some sleep. AnandTech has their long-awaited Raptor pReview up, though.
