I have a D-Link DGS-1005D as switch, ZyXEL (Realtek chipset) and onboard NF3 NICs. I get ~25 MB/s, which is nice boost from the ~10 MB/s I got with the D-Link 10/100 switch/router/firewall/WLAN/whatever. This is just the basic no jumbo frame Gig-E connection. The given speed is with FTP, I...

Yes, my $0,02 on the 7025-based board as well. Why not go with the case that Mercutio recommended? The same case in Newegg is somewhat more expensive, but the price is nearly the same if shipping fees are included (provided everything else comes from newegg). The powersupply is 380 W Antec...

After a few tries it seems that if one answers four in a row correctly in the beginning one gets to start at level 40. After that it's three corrects to go up and one wrong to go down... So my best score is 41, but if I go down to 1 I can hardly manage to get it up to 20... :sqnt: Cheers, Jan

Have you tried to disable the automatic input detection from the monitor? Cheers, Jan

HyperTransport page on wikipedia. Basically it's what AMD uses instead of front side bus (FSB). Except that AMD has the memory controller on the CPU. So, HyperTransport connects the CPU to the chipset. On Intel systems the onboard devices and GFX cards access RAM via FSB, but on AMD systems the...

So you have in apcupsd.conf (is there such a file in windows?) the following: UPSCABLE ether UPSTYPE snmp DEVICE <ip>:161:APC:<community> The comments on apcupsd.conf say that the community needs to be "private" - meaning read/write access. "public" - read only access is not enough apparently...

Have you enabled & configured SNMP on the NIC? I think you need to setup the allowed IPs/subnet, check the community names and their access rights. Cheers, Jan

Why not get the Intel's mini-ITX board? That + $4 Realtek card would drop the price $100. Granted, it won't fit into that shiny VoomPC enclosure... Cheers, Jan

AMD or Intel, for the average user it's pretty much the same. Both have dual cores from $60, so it's not wise to try to save by buying a single core. Memory is currently cheap, so at least 2GiB, or as Mercutio pointed out, 4 GiBs using 2GB sticks is certainly an option, should there be the need...

Poor choice of words from me... I meant that the switch is on a separate lead, not in the power lead - that is "smart", as it reduces cable clutter. Or did you even mean this? :???: At least Globe has fans that have the thermistor on a lead, so that it can be positioned better. Cheers, Jan

Here's the test for Antec Tricool fans at SPCR. The low speed RPM is 1200. SPCR recommends Noctua, Scythe S-Flex or Nexus (see the conclusion of the review). Noctua is ok for a case fan, but if the grill (finger guard) is too restrictive it should perform rather poorly. Those fancy blades...

I think one could also use Unison File Synchronizer. It has a fastcheck option, which only uses file size and modify/create times. The Unison project was moved to non-development status earlier this year. The latest stable version has a DST "bug" on Windows platforms, which slows the file...

Wow, that sucks... :( Did you try apcupsd? Cheers, Jan

It's a shame that the Samsung drives reviewed are "old generation" models. Well, in the end the reviewer promises to "examine modern products from the surviving manufacturers"... After the P120 series came T133, then T166, S166, and the current new-generation drives are either S250 or F334...

Did you ever get it working? Cheers, Jan

I wish! :mrgrn: Still couple o' years more to go... I was playing a lot with GNU/Linux and VDR during the summer. I didn't participate that much in the forums, but I did follow most of the interesting discussions. Waking up before 6AM on weekdays to go to work - that really set the pace for the...

Actually, S64 3400+ is 2 GHz/256k, whereas S64 3300+ is 2 GHz/128k. Compare that with S754 A64 3000+, which is 2 GHz/512k (NewCastle) and S939 A64 3000+, which is 1,8 GHz/512k. True, the S939 A64 has dual memory channel and double the cache, but S64 has clockspeed advantage. X-bit labs tests...

Somehow somebody forgot to update the regular A64 prices when this was first released. This is the current price list. What's sad is that they are phasing out A64 2800+ and 3000+. Now the entry level is 3200+. But it had to be phased out - Sempron 3300+/3400+ has about the same, if not better...

Yep - hence the assumption that the adapter board is damaged. I actually ran my 1,3 GHz Celeron at 1,15V, and even then the HS did get quite warm. HS a Zalman fan - CNPS6000-AlCu. I've been pondering on about my options: My adapter was bought from a local vendor, which doesn't carry the adapter...

Jtr, how did this end? Did you get replacement parts - what was broken? I'm asking because I think my adapter gave up also... :cry: One night I just turned the computer on, went away to do something else, and when I came back I saw a blank screen. I thought "screensaver", but no matter what...

I don't know for sure, but the BIOS' Cool 'n' Quiet option might relate to BIOS showing a "table" of available FIDs and VIDs to the OS**. Setting CnQ disabled in BIOS should result in failure for all programs that rely their operation on this table ("programs" such as the AMD's driver). The...

Thanks guys! Jan

:mrgrn: Jan

Any other USB 2.0 drives (=enclosures) you could try? That sounds like Linksys doesn't like your USB 2.0 enclosure and drops the connection to USB 1.1. Firmware update could also help. Or, it just is a dud... :mrgrn: Cheers, Jan

Don't know. Four slots, and 1gb modules are available. Here's a MSI nForce4 motherboard with a statement "Supports a maximum memory size up to 4GB". Maybe? :-? Cheers, Jan

I've seen similar once. My problems (similar error IIRC) happened during the install. My problem was ATA133 and too much signal degradation. I used a mobile rack, round cables and wrong connector on the ATA cable. My problem was sorted when I plugged the drive in the right connector (the one in...

Socket 754 supports 2 GB @ 400 MHz, 3 GB @ 333 MHz. (if the board has three slots) Socket 939 supports 4 GB @ 400 MHz (single row modules, are there any?), or @ 333 MHz (double row). Opteron boards (S940) have more than four memory slots, which helps when the goal is to have enough RAM for...

It's not clearly said in the article, but IMO most likely the software is Symbian-based, and it's one of those cell viruses. After all, source is available for at least one of the viruses. Cheers, Jan

With pleasure. :) Good to hear that. As David already mentioned, MBM doesn't like when the CPU voltage changes, especially when power-save features (STR) are used. I've seen voltages from 0.50 to 2.67 with MBM, while SpeedFan works fine. It's actually easy to test: just fire up some CPU stress...

Hmm... what exactly is this bios table? SPCR has this list of CnQ-supporting motherboards. I've read that some motherboards actually require that CnQ is turned off in BIOS in order to be able to fully use 3rd party programs. Could You be more specific about the table? Yep. There is another...

One more vote for Samsung. Just make sure you get SATA drives as those 915/925-boards have only one PATA channel. Cheers, Jan

And does it need a Cray to decode in real-time? :mrgrn: Jan

Just uncheck "load images".... :mrgrn: Can one protect Firefox's/IE's settings somehow? Another "good" idea would be to add Google and the rest of the most popular searches to the host list and point them to 127.0.0.1. Or put them on the firewall's/router's deny list. Blake's idea is still...

IIRC Dell sells Class 1 LCDs, which are nearly twice as expensive when compared to Class 2 counterparts. Cheers, Jan

One interesting feature of the Samsungs is that they log one unit every 30 seconds (to the Power-on time count RAW value, that is). Cheers, Jan

This was posted on the MSI forums. Maybe it's relevant? Cheers, Jan

Seconded. Jan

That's The Vampire Slayer... :D Jan

^^^^ What they said :wink: Jan

... or even more hardcore solution would be to mod/hack pin 39. But it ruins the cable... Cheers, Jan

What isn't? :D Cheers, Jan

IMO there's nothing to the other settings. Setting to "Minimal Power Management" makes Windows do the same thing that CrystalCPUID does, and things go wrong there. I wonder if the predefined states for each model are encoded to the CPU or the driver? Ultimately, hacking the AMD driver would be...

Also, with my board & CPU I couldn't go from 1GHz/0,85V straight back to 2GHz/1,5V with ClockGen, it just freezed when I tried. I had to first set the voltage to 1,1V and then to 1,5V. With ClockGen, one can make .ini files where the settings are just listed like in .bat files. A shortcut can...

Are You running a multiplier lower than the stock 9x? Do You get a blue screen, or just a total lockup? There are few known bugs: If Cool 'n' Quiet is enabled in Windows (Power Scheme set to "Minimal Power Management") and the user is using a multiplier lower than the stock one (say, in your...

Yea, but a regular receiver has so many buttons and dials/knobs that the RCA/S-video connectors seem to blend in. A two-part computer would be nice: Front-end part, with the tuner(s) and A/V connections; and the back-end part with the drives in. The front-end would be diskless, booted from...

That means that Word/IE/etc. opens faster than an Average Joe starts thinking whether he successfully double-clicked the icon on the desktop or not. Cheers, Jan

LC11 seems interesting... I'd remove the USB ports though (or put them under a flap as mentioned), and put a detachable 5,25" cover, with the options of bare cover/5,25" CD/DVD (like Lian-Li)/VFD mount. Personally I feel that there is little need for a CD/DVD drive in a pure HTPC. Most HTPC...

Yes, but if one uses better-than-stock VGA cooling, it limits the available PCI slots. (well, there's still room for a sound card...) Also, it's a bit interesting why some manufacturers have just basic HS for the nForce chip, and others have a fancy fanned solution. Well, maybe they're not...

Although the problem seems to be solved, I've heard good things about PC INSPECTOR File Recovery. Haven't tried it though. :-? Cheers, Jan

I'd like to add that apparently a first "critical" update was released yesterday. The kind witch the Automatic Updates picks up. Few findings: Don't know what settings my friend used, but when he turned of his comp, the shutdown screen (the one with stand by, turn off and restart buttons) had...
