    Shops that ship internationally

    Buck and David have been EXCELLENT people to deal with. I'd suggest being civil, and, they might even be able to give you what you are after, at an excellent price.

    Apparently 6.6.1.4 is the latest update, but, it won't download, and, it's 12.95 and I think shipping for a DVD to install the update. Not sure why I need the update? Been sick as a dog today, and slept most of the day. Busy weekend for work, and, I hope this thing is on the down side.

    When I first install, it says that this program has known compatibility problems with 7, and to check online. I check online, they say there are no solutions. This time, thanks to your advice, I proceeded to install, and, it just finished successfully. Now that it's installed, I'm trying to...

    As I said, I bought 9, and it worked fine with 7. I also bought their extended download package, and, they won't even email me back on it. When I try and load 6, with 7 Ultimate 64 bit, I get a message from MSFT that this program has known incompatibility problems, and, it won't load.

    Women's surfing comes of age...These girls/women rip

    Or perhaps they need to be hardwired with ECC ram. Maybe that's Kelly's secret:-)

    6 doesn't appear to work on 7 64 bit. Does it work on 32? Feel free to post something more informative.

    Women's surfing comes of age...These girls/women rip

    This last women's surfing contest at Snapper Rocks saw the dawn of a new era in women's surfing. Carissa Moore has completed a few steps started by Layne Beachly, and, we now have women that surf VERY well, in fact, so well a combined world tour may not be out of the realm of possibility. For...

    Why ECC RAM?

    Tongue and cheek, or humor if you would. My first reaction was lead,.. but to be real, not a bloody thing we can do about such particles, hence my reaction to the thread. Discussing cosmic rays starts me thinking that the old comic books like the Fantastic Four, actually did real well...

    I think I'm adding Nero to this list. 6 won't work on 7, 9 I bought, and, with added downloads, and, they won't even answer an email concerning my account.

    Why ECC RAM?

    Thanks CT Let's look at this topic: "Why ECC RAM? This is a serious question for thinking minds. We've all been raised on the principle that servers need error-checked RAM but client PCs don't. I've seen papers that point to a PC with 8GB RAM experiencing a soft error (due to cosmic rays at...

    I don't see it. It's one thing to be go to a movie, and watch a 3D movie, it's another to sit in front of a monitor, or TV, and fool your brains concept of depth perception, with no knowledge of the long term effects. I've tried the various setups at Costco, and, been seriously underwhelmed...

    Why ECC RAM?

    Slight thread drift. Dual Xeons, 3 ocz Vertex Turbos in Raid 0, through a PCI-X 9550. 2 gigs ram, using about 60-78% for normal usage. Would there be any noticeable difference in speed going up to 4 gigs of ram? Using Windows Ultimate 7, 32 bit?

    Why ECC RAM?

    For what it's worth, my server is running 2 gigs of said ram. I was looking at adding some ram, since Windows 7 and a few programs consistently use 70-76% of the ram in the machine. 2 gigs of ECC from Crucial is about 160 bucks, with shipping. With the speed of the new chips, that's nearly the...

    USB Flash Drive

    I followed something similar, but used a USB hard drive, rather then a flash drive. I also kind of am thinking a PATA SSD is pretty much the same as an IDE drive. I tried changing the boot order in the bios, and, the computer would not boot off the external USB drive, even though the bios...

    USB Flash Drive

    Thanks I think I'll use some old drives from my laptops, put them in external housings, and use them to boot 7. Currently partitioning a 40 gig, and, I think I'll take the Kingspec PATA drive that's kind of slow, and put 32 bit on it, and 64 bit on the 40 gig.

    I find that with my Cf-51's, and similar numbers, the laptop is really barely tolerable after working on current machines. That's with a SSD.

    Keyboards

    For what it's worth: The Panasonic CF-37 had a good enough keyboard to get me to 75 WPM, after 2 hours a day, for a year, work on Mavis Beacon. I'm really wondering if a 100 bucks for an old style keyboard might be worth it?
