Well, the upgrade just froze the computer. Maybe being on too long, too much heat, don't know. Anyway, pulled a scsi drive out, jacked the voltage up to 1.6 V, per the instructions, and we'll see how it works. Still keeping the old processor around. Anyone know the max cpu I could run on...

Farcry????? gs

Nailed that one... :cry: gs

Faster scanner might help. I found dual xeons work very well for Photoshop scanning, combined with USB 2.0 Epson 3170 scanner. FAST. I had problems with an old scanner, scsi and usb, maxing out a 1.4 gig Athlon. Switching to the dual Xeon 2.8's really did the trick. Even if your software is...

The funny part about the big 5, cape buffalo, lions, elephant, leopard, rhino, both black and white, is they are fairly smart, if unperdictible. African elephants have a low frequency language, and can communicate complex ideas. Tava, that Tannin used to have on his website, with myself and my...

Sorry Merc, but, I believe it's the part of the city, then the county, then the state agencies involved to anticipate, and ask for possible help. Bush WAS ready to go, but, he respected states rights, and waited until asked, which in this case, looks like partisian politics affecting the gov of...

WOW :excl: :excl: Despite your other posts, you just really nailed it. The problem with democracy is it destroys the middle class, and this leads to an oligarchy suppressing a poor minority, and, when given the chance, they create a 'mini-revolution' like Rodney King, or NO. As I'm sure...

A fellow furball to keep Tannin's other half engaged... GS :wink:

Certainly intresting that to you, FDR was a great president, and, to me, he was one of the most long lasting, and distructive. A brief view of his accomplishments: He destroyed the 10th amendment. He threatened the Supreme Court, saying if they didn't stop vetoing his illegal, and contrary...

No BS. Can we say scary? GS

YOU ARE ROCKING :excl: :excl: :mrgrn: lucky guy :excl: :excl: :excl: But, will it play Quake 3? :wink: GS

Oh, the guy Christer, is a bit of a rhino himself, at 6'7" tall, and over 275 pounds.

This is a darted rhino. Another guy used to have a ranch, 22,000 acres, in South Africa, before he was forced out of the ranch. New government, and he was white. He had 23 white rhinos, and while you couldn't exactly pet them once they grew up, you could when they were babies, like 1000...

It's really funny, at least to me, that people blame presidents for domestic events. The presidents PRMIARY RESPONSIBILITY, under the Constitution, is foreign affairs. Try pulling up the first couple articles, and read what the president is SUPPOSED TO DO. I think the founders really intended...

:rofl: :owneddnce: I thought Splash might have done something like that, since he had some absurd number of dual scsi raid 0 workstations, pushing around 80 mb/sec, at the beer factory. :wink: running 24/7 forever. I used to hang out with the Macguru guys, and when scsi 320 came out, they...

With a Megaraid 320-1, using an SCA box, and a single channel? In, a PCI-X slot? Wondering what the limit is, for data transfer in this setup... GS

Darn, M, .... Go for music downloads. In an hour, one high school kid put over 57 spyware programs on my computer.... s

Sorry I. Didn't Gary have something similar??? s

Download the trial of Penicillin, and go bouncing around porn sites, with all no security, any music site, and download Kaaza and all that, and see how you do. S

I want a score card to keep the schtzos straight... :wink: S

What are you using them for, Gary? GS

That's one problem with scsi. You don't have to screw with it very often, so when you do, you feel like a moron, because you can't remember what to do, and, you forgot to write it down... GS

PS: Most bios for scsi raid cards are counterintuitive. This one was SO bad, I actually had to read the instructions... :o gs

Got it up and running, and, you were right. I had to configure the first array, then designate single drives as raid0's, and logical drives, then, they are scene, and booted into in dos/windows. I increased the stripe size to 128 on the boot array, and, the Writes start at 85 mb/sec, and go up...

Well, I tried to update this setup, by adding the 320-1 Lsi raid card. I've reformatted two drives, and I've booted from them, in raid ) configured on the LSI card. However, I can't seem to get the other drives to be readable, and I don't want to reformat. ???? HELP.. GS

I was just having a bit of fun. :wink: I happen to have one of these, http://www.granitedigital.com/images/1394bfwcable9-9pin.gif out of shear stupidity. The external DVD burner I have is USB 2, and the the only firewire to Panasonic firewire end, which is what that is, is a Liteon...

Yawn... Yes, scsi sucks. I'm using a pos adaptec 21010S or some such POS< that maxes out at 80 mb/sec. Dual 15.3's in raid zero, are giving me 50-70 mb/sec range. I was so pissed, I bought the LSI single channel raid card, and it's sitting on my desk. It was 350 bucks. Then, I thought about...

Thanks I just bought a Samsung 2150N, IIRC, for 269. Plus, the guys took 35 dollars off each of two Sony 19" CPD G400 flat screens. Total cost for two 19 inch monitors, 118.00. I think he felt guilty after hosing me on building the last machine... The Samsung has a built in duplexing unit...

THAT SUCKS :excl: YOU NEED SCSI, AND CHEETAHS.... :mrgrn: :excl: :wink: S

Oh, and I forgot to mention, whales can communicate over thousands of miles, with ultra low frequency sounds, we can barely hear. We have to us cell phones. :roll: INFERIOR SPIECES. Quick Cousteau story. A pod of killer whales are having lunch on a whale killed by my favorite folks, the...

Remember, Splash has a MUCH bigger brain to weight ratio then we do, and, if he had hands.... We ARE NOT the most intelligent animals on the planet. Orcas, too, are superior in brain to body size ratio. Thank God they are, or, we would have a lot of dead dolphin and whale trainers... S

Hi I'm starting another school tomorrow, and, I'm NOT going through the printer fiasco I went through at Mission San Jose, having to network print to the library, and, being at the mercy of an Apple printer older then I am, which finally broke, and, for the last couple months, no printer. Since...

I use both. Some of my favorite sites don't work with Firefox 106, but, I only use IE with those, and do the rest of my browsing with Firefox, per Furballs instructions... :mrgrn: :wink: GS

Ferrites??? :?: :skepo: Are those like small, furry animals that Tannin has around the house? :o GS

I forgot to mention the good news is the huge surf seems to have been focused at Alabama, since that's where the 42020 buoy is, with the giant readings. Can't get into NOAA to make sure, however. gs

The antarctic circle is famous for waves with durations measured in minutes, not seconds. One of the problems they have with supertankers is the stern and bow get caught on the peaks of a wave, and the middle part of the tanker, the part over the trough, collapses, due to it's own weight...

Well, I went with a VIA Kingwin two port for the Dell, and it's giving 3mb/sec writes, 11 mb/sec reads. Good enough. I don't really like front USB stuff, since it's always getting in the way of the CD/DVD trays opening. Annoying. I haven't figured out what I'm going to use for the Server...

It's a big deal because of how it's going to affect gas prices, since 25% of our oil and gas comes out, and is refined, in the gulf. Also, 40 foot buoy reports mean that is the average of the largest third of the waves. So, it's entirely possible to have waves double that height in the storm...

I can't get through to NOAA. If you can, please post the buoy reports. Thanks gs

Just found out that area produces 3.7 million barrels of oil a day, and, there are near 20 refineries in the area, that make gas out of that oil... gs

NO is completely screwed I was a little hazy on my geography, but Katrina's eye is passing OVER New Orleans. God help all those people... GS

Just got up. Can't get the buoy reading, but, this looks like New Orleans is getting the eye of the storm.. God help us all. Gs

JUST HIT 38 FEET ON THE ALABAMA BUOY. SAY GOOD BYE TO LOUISIANA, AS WE KNOW IT... :eekers: :cry: GS

I think it's a million gallons a day. :eekers: Greg

That's no joke Mark. The rigs weren't designed for giant, Hawaii sized waves, and what is it called, force 3 tornados??? :eekers: Greg

Oh MY F...G GOD :excl: :excl: :excl: :excl: :eekers: THE BUOYS HIT 32 FEET. THAT'S THE SIZE OF THE BIGGEST WAVES EVER SURFED. THIS IS APPROACHING THE PERFECT STORM, BUT IT WENT 51 FEET, AND THEN THE BUOYS GOT PULLED UP...

Just finished stage two on this setup. I installed an Adaptec 2906, and a Plextor SCSI DVD, along with a Plextor CDwriter/reader. I can now play a DVD, type on the second monitor, and stay around 48-70% of the processor. I also installd a USB 2.0 card, Kingwin, two port, 15 dollars, so in a...
