This thing is very serious. The ocean buoys are showing waves the size of giant Hawaiian surf. SOLID 20 FEET. What Louisiana? GS

One cure for a bad temper is to carry a gun. I've found you learn to really be selective about ever using it, and, this carries over to your real life. Do I really want to get into a fight that could land me in jail, over some guy yelling at me, and thinking I cut in front of him in a line, at...

Ouch!!! My shoulder hurts thinking about that group. What's your favorite? Still use the rifles? Is the 416 a rigby or remmington, and who made the rifles? I target shoot, but, that's about it. I've shot a few things, all vermin, and I just don't much like killing ANIMALS. I guess I don't...

http://www.extremescience.com/orcavshark.htm Amazing, first ever footage, of a killer whale and a great white, going at it. Greg

If you love cats, it REALLY gives you a new perspective. Hyenas vs. Lions http://www.compfused.com/directlink/524/ GS

Will: For your machine, it doesnt' make sense, since the upgrade path is only twice your current processor, if you spend 200 bucks. For me, a Celeron is considerably faster then the P2, and, it's a 3x clock speed increase. You can notice that, and, it was only 120 bucks. So far, so good. If...

Tannin: Sempron 3100's cost 90 dollars here. Motherboard is 30 dollars you use with it? The alternative is P160 case 120 dollars, still haven't found a cheap box in this area that's quiet. Gigabyte motherboard I have. Processor 90 Power Supply 80 Ram 85 dollars DVD player we have, switch...

Hi I've really got to link to this description of a hunt, in Africa. The writing is brilliant, vivid, and, my favorite part is the hunters don't kill anything. I would love to go to Africa, just to witness something half this amazing. Sincerely Greg...

Mark: The irony of the Dell is it's the SO's, and she loves it. The Quantum LM STILL is one of the faster hard drives around, access time wise, and she loves it, for ATA. Don't remind me about the Dell channels only being able to use one device, per channel... She's getting used to the two...

While I'll never buy another, I don't think, anyway, that BX based Dell has been a really good computer, as it should have for it's 3000 dollar price tag at the time. Wasn't a bad move the first time, going from macs to PC's, when 98 was the prevalent operating system. Course it did have two...

I just checked Dell, and I could have picked up a 2.4 ghz entire new machine for 329.00. :wink: G

Hi I need a usb 2.0 card for a pci slot. I also need a USB 2.0 long cable, and ports that go connect to the Supermicro motherboard. I had one, but the cable was too short for my box. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for value, 6 ports are good, and 2000 and XP compatibility...

Runs Windows media player now at about 1/4 processor. Prior, it was 100%. G

I know. I was thinking the same thing. However, the Dell is "the girl's computer" in the house, and, it's got a 440BX chipset motherboard, Quantum LM that is going on 5-6 years old, Matrox P 550, it's quiet, my girlfriend REALLY likes it, and, I just realized the Windows 2000 install is about 4...

OK: Arrived today. Took at least 5 minutes to get it out of the box, install it, and reboot. Seems to work much faster, and, at least now, the anti-virus software isn't eating the processor. GUI is faster, photoshop is MUCH faster, and all the crap she loads at boot doesn't seem to overwhelm...

bios is already upgraded, waiting.... s

Arrives the 25th... s

Tea: I love you :excl: :wink: No matter what your category. s

Wrong thread. What bios are you using? s

OK. So the F5 bios works, and recognizes the dual core? s

What spieces is Cyril? Ocean bottom dweller? Furball? With Tannin's collection, you never know... s

Wow. Thaqt's my setup: GA-K8NS ultra 939 and, I've got a GAK8NSC-939 sitting around. I guess for this one, they have a F7 or 8 bios, but, the other is still at 5. Hope they get it fixed. Dual cores would be nice... s

I'm running Nod32 and using the Windows firewall, in XP, no problems. Greg

Will: Once you get used to scsi, I really doubt you'll go back.. :mrgrn: And, duals make it pretty quick, operating system wise. Are you using XP 64? Glad things are going well. Greg

I figured, with Splash, and his split personalities, you might have another one? I'm sorry, I didn't know she was a lowly human like the rest of us. :wink: Or is it shes not an orange furball, and therefore it's an inner spieces thing? Never know. Remember, around here, San Francisco is...

Whoops! :oops: S

Seasonic ST-12 600Watt... IIRC. Quiet, very little power fluctuation, great reviews, was 160 with shipping, around in US. S

likewise. :wink:

What bios did it ship with, 5-6? s

CV alias Splash, knows a small bit about scsi. Keep in mind, Tannin can help you with pricing, and service in Oz. Splash/Corvair/Giant/CGB/Etc. are my gurus for scsi, so, follow their advice, if the price is right, in Oz/// :mrgrn: s

Also, if the processor is fast enough, I'll install a NEC 3520A burner... s

Well, the girls computer in the other room, won't play video stuff clearly. She doesn't do much else with it, and, that's the only problem with it for what she does. So, I ordered, for 120 bucks, a Powerleap 1.2 ghz T upgrade: http://www.powerleap.com/PL-iP3T.jsp# This computer isn't used for...

To put this in perspective: It's been around 98-100 for the last 3 weeks. I'm waiting in line to return my WONDERFULNOT Sony DVD writer to costco. I'm reading a book since the line is taking 3.4 of an hour, on a Saturday. The person I'm following, goes up, and, I follow. While I'm waiting...

Using Catalyst, and ATI drivers, but not the Hydra stuff, and, duals are working fine, on both an 700 XL and 800 Xl. Hope this helps... s

Shucks. Knowing Mercutio, I thought this thread was about something else... G :mrgrn:

I've been known to be a pain in the ass, when I'm trying to find out enough information about something to decide on buying it. 25 pages of correspondence over a 45 Linebaugh come to mind. Still, I made the decision, and got a quality product, with only one problem, that was later fixed. I...

Took it back to Costco. they carry Sony burners and TDK DVD media. Doesn't work... s

http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/P4/ Start here, and see how much money you want to spend. I like Supermicro... Smaller company then Intel, and they test their stuff. Still, Intel chipsets like the 440 BX are really nice...

Got me too. Figured Alum and quiet did not =. I was wrong. Tannin: Besides Furball, you have another animal, Kristi??? :wink: G

More crowds, and these guys breed like crazy... :cry: s

I'd talk to Tannin. Suffice to say, Davin and the boys and I don't agree much on scsi, nor do I find their test results to reflect much. They seem to REALLY like ATA, and, their test design and results seem to be somewhat in favor of that interface. They have a website that requires to be...

Didn't I see this somewhere, argued about how many fairies can dance on the head of a pin? :mrgrn: g

Well, I figured you might get a chuckle out of that. :mrgrn: However, elephants and tiger asses are things of beauty, just not what I had in mind for the pics. I decided to download, and print the manual for the D-395. It's 160 pages long. Nice for a 'point and shoot' hmmm? Appears part of...

Hi All I was recently trying to take action shots at Marineworld with Olympus D-395. Everytime I tried to shoot, mainly action shots, I ended up with ass :cry: :evil: Tiger gives me a great look, trying to stalk a young child through the fence, line up take shot, punch button, and, by the...

I've bought pretty much nothing but cheetahs. I had one Quantum that lasted 7 years, but it was noisy, and it was a 7200 rpm drive. I had a DOA on a refurb recently, but hypermicro replaced it ASAP. Other then that, I can't hear the 15.3 in the Athlon, and, the only time I really hear the...

Hi From what I can gather, the LCD is on the back burner. Don't see it in the order. a 19" CRT, or two of them, used, would be a far better value then one LCD, don't you think? s

Tanin is forgetting Splash. Dolphins are notorious scsi freaks. I think it allows the machines to sort of come close to the dolphins superior brain capacity. Anyway, I think he's used SCSI in HUNDREDS OF computers, so he's probably forgot more then I know about scsi...in fact, most of what I...

LSI has been making chips for other companies to put on their boards, for quite awhile. Now they are producing their own boards, and, for some strange reason, you can actually call tech support, and talk to a HUMAN BEING(sorry Furball :wink: ) that's an important feature for us humans. I did...

In that case, if WR wants to try the text quality we are talking about, he can easily, and very cheaply, pick up a 400 series Matrox card and plug it in. Like 20 bucks type cheap. G

Isn't that right next to Oz, and Margeret River :?: :wink: G
