Yeah being a crack-fiend is pretty challenging at times....

I have several of that exact card in the field. I've been very happy with them. They run cooler than any "3d" graphics card i've seen in a long time.

Yup, credit goes to Merc. As soon as he gave the sugestion, I had a feeling he was right. Just hadn't had time to work on it until earlier. Now I have a home-brewed "server" in one of those ghetto 20$ beige towers....with 7 hard drives in it! :o The thing is sitting next to me cooling off...

Thanks Clocker, you rule.

...just like the movie...

See, before I wanted to be a crack-fiend. In High School I was president of the communist/socialist/anarchist parties...but this sounds like even more fun!

Yup. I can only guess that the foil shield is unintentionally grounded to either the board or one of the wires somewhere...I'll look into it more when I have more time. Right now I have 3 servers down in 3 different cities....great :roll:

Got it...I almost feel stupid saying what it was... I used an Antec Cobra rounded IDE cable for my DRU-700A. This is a really neat shielded cable that is thinner and more flexible than most. It also comes with a grounding strap on the end. Connecting this strap is the culprit.

Oh, oh......can I be a name-calling fascist? That sounds like fun!

A good friend of mine is in need of one, it will be his first e-mail account ever. If you have one to spare, please send it to my handle at tweakt.com.

Is your middle name Monica?

d. Samsung unless you need 10k RPM

Yeah, the Sierras, where there is the tallest mountain in the continental US (Mt. Whitney @ 14,495ft). I climbed it a few times, once in winter...wasn't cold at all :roll: Just teasing, of course.... 100F here today, probably some of the warmest weather of the year. Annual average is 60F with...

Weatherbug is most certainly spyware. And I believe the newer versions also manage some popup windows from time to time.

vmailer looks useful. I think I can handle the scripting; thanks Handruin.

Won't support this CPU.

Go figure....just took it again (some things have changed recently) Now I am an Artisan (SP)

It did an fact work with the new CPU for as much as an hour before I cracked the case open again and made more modifications.

Worth a try...we'll see how it goes.

That's from the BIOS before it choked (completely at idle). When doing basig tasks it runs @ 800Mhz @ 0.9v. I'm really impressed with the number of things I can do quickly without it speeding up. Making any changes to the BIOS causes the error in the OP.

An e-mail full of hyperlinks gets flagged like you wouldn't believe.

Which it is under certain circumstances. The ability to "pour" the entire transfer at once to a 3rd location, then "pour" the data back @ STR speeds versus only being able to pour as much as the hard drive cache allows before having to stop, seek, read, seek again, and continue. I mught even...

That wouldn't really work, as the drive wouldn't know if sector y oon drive b was available. If the OS provided that information as part of the command I can see it working; but on more fragmented drives the commands might take longer than the data itself. Further, isn't the copying process...

Well, that's pretty much what I'm stuck with here. "BIOS defaults" are letting the system run; but I can't make any changes.

I actually did this swap the other day, and the HDD is running cool enough under standard load without any fans. Ambient at home is quite high (80F) and the HDD is currently @ 113F ... looks good enough to me.

Better motherboards also have "Clear CMOS" jumpers, but pulling the battery does the same thing. Checking to see if the motherboard is grounded is a great idea. I'll check that out when I get back to the house. I'm not seeing how a second BIOS could prevent this kind of thing more than once...

Oh, forgot to mention...tried 3 different batteries.

I mean the BIOS-like configuration page of the 3Ware controller. After creating all the arrays, you press one of the buttons to mark an array as bootable.

Here's a new one for you.... My system failed to POST I reset the BIOS and restarted POSTs on restart, prompts for BIOS values If I go into the BIOS at all, exiting will cause the system to fail to POST If I "continue with default settings" I can get into the system, but a restart will cause...

HTML/large fonts....before it was scoring 50+, I can live with a score of <7, that will survive most filters.

I agree with Merc about having a domain not being necessary for most small businesses. One of my clients just grew to ~125 office employees and just got their first (and second) DC to compliment their exchange server. My home server has been happily running off a EPIA-M motherboard w/1Ghz CPU...

Land of the living....is that what you call it.... Although I really appreciate the offer, i, I'm a purely Windows shop (except for the smoothwall, of course). I sent the latest one out yesterday from one account to another of my accounts in another domain, with 300 people in the BCC field...

Yup, this shouldn't be a problem. I've done very similar things in the past. My main office computer has a 8506-4LP running a 2-drive RAID-1 and a 2-drive RAID-0; I boot to the RAID-0 of course... In the 3Ware configuration pagr you cam mark which array it should boot to. Also be carefull what...

None of my nForce-based systems have had this issue either; but I've phased out most of them already so I can't say for sure. I also only use the analog outs, so if it only affects the digital out I wouldn't know. All the boards are ASUS A7N8X-whatever (E/X/Deluxe/etc)

Perhaps I'm being a bit optimistic, but I'd love a windows-based app that could handle it. I just installed spamassasin on my exchange machine, so I can test my trials on myself. The message is massively formatted HTML.

So in my new favorite PC (a quiet one for my bedroom) I currently have a 1st gen WD360GD "Raptor" hard drive. The chasis is an Antec P160 all-aluminiun with aluminium drive rails and locates them right near the front large vent opening. However, there are no case fans in this chassis at all; and...

An interesting note on my DTR chips. I just built my new, very quiet, bedroom pc. I used what was supposed to be a 2700+ DTR chip @ 1.2v native. When I right-click on my computer and choose properties; the bottom section of the test displays as follows (I have a screenshot, but nowhere to host...

According to a thread linked to by a member here, the only heatsink able to manage the lower height of the mobile CPUs (no heat spreader) is the Thermaltake SLK-948U. I've had really good experiences with them in conjunction with Panaflo "L" fans on the 92mm size @ 5v. It still runs at under 100F.

And in order to flash the BIOS, that means you must also have a non-sempron CPU available to do the flashing, correct?

Depends on if you are running software-based RAID-50 arrays or not...

No! Tea! Really! I started this thread as a cool place to dump random musings and the occasional cool bit of information! It worked well in this regard well until -very- recently. I hope to get it back on course (or rather, back off course) once I have more random stuff to stick here.

I have a list of people who have expresly requested to recieve our newsletter; but if I try to send the letter everyone via Outlook (putting everyone in the to, cc, or bcc fields), half the people don't recieve it as it is marked as spam. What I need is an easy way to send it where it appears...

Even if there were a need for >80MB/sec transfer rates; I assume you're using a 32/33 PCI bus? You wouldn't gain much regardless. There must be a better place to stick that money...

No, Merc, I'm not denying the allegations; just saying that if you want me to go along with it, group sex and drug use have to be OK.

Personally I'm looking for a replacement for my Raptor. Capacity is irrelevant (over 6GB); but speed, silenece and low-heat are my biggest factors.

http://www.sidetalkin.com/Images-Girl/sidetalking-holland.jpg I've heard of being open-minded, but damn....(slightly off-color)

Oh, and Merc...you need to remove the group sex line from the above post...or I ain't buying....

I found a really cool song, but I can't get any info on it or it's author or the preformer...has anyone here heard of "Jack Dark: Space Assasain"? Google returns nothing. Unfortunatly, I have no place to host it; I think a number of you would really enjoy it.
