Read all about it here: http://www.pcworld.com/resource/printable/article/0,aid,107744,00.asp http://www.beststuff.com/article.php3?story_id=4393 Even though it's classified as a TV, it has enough resolution(1920x1080) to make a decent monitor. I would love to see MS Train Simulator on this...

I'm interested in upgrading my current processor and I've noticed that 1 GHz PIII slot 1 processors are available which use a 100 MHz front side bus. My AX6B motherboard is slot 1 and 100 MHz bus(currently overclocked to 112 MHz). The current processor is a PII-450. The problem is that...

I'm currently in the process of editing a couple of hundred unicode text files. The editing process involves changing a few dozen to a few hundred numbers in each file that appear in the following format: point ( -115.214 0.2 648.984 ) point ( -115.214 0.325 648.984 ) point ( -115.356...

While the answer to this question was obvious when RAM was very expensive, I'm wondering why nowadays motherboard makers don't put a certain minimal amount of RAM(say 128 MB) on new motherboards. It would only add a few dollars to the cost and would definitely be a good selling point...

As some of you may have read here, I recently tried to upgrade my PII computer to 1 GB but mistakingly purchased single-sided 256 MB sticks. The machine has 2 256 MB and 2 128 MB sticks in it currently. I also have 2 128 MB sticks that I removed to make room for the 256 MB ones. It would be...

I purchased two sticks of 256 MB PC133 SDRAM at CompUSA today. Though the machine I plan to put them in needs more RAM like I need a hole in the head(it already has 768 MB), the price was right at $9.99 each after rebates, so I figured what the heck, even though it meant I'd need to remove two...

Any thoughts on this? It seems that every time we bump up against a capacity limit the new one only lasts a few more years. At least this time they had the foresight to make the new limit about 1 million times the old one. BTW, the maximum size of a drive with 48-bit LBA is 144 million GB, or...

As some of you may have noticed, I haven't posted here or on SR in the last 2+ weeks. This has been due to first the illness and then the death of my cat, Tiger. I recently wrote something about her life that I wish to share with everyone here. Also, if anyone has some space on their site...

I'm usually not inclined to talk much about other members of my family on these forums, but I just had to share something that happened to my father yesterday with everyone here. Last night, probably during the middle of the night, the front bumper of my father's car was stolen. They cut the...

I'm sure most of the people here remember alternative memory managers like QEMM. I currently have my Win98SE systems set up to boot into a several different configurations-EMS, no EMS, CD drivers, no CD drivers, and each of these alternatives is available with both the default HIMEM and QEMM...

I'm sure everyone here is intimately familiar with Moore's Law, which basically states that computing power will double every 18 months or so. Of course, it was never a law in the strict sense, but merely a means of predicting the evolution of computers which thus far has been fairly reliable...

I'm not sure whether this belongs here or in Technical Support, but I figured here would be better here since the problem is not with my computer. The problem is that everytime I go to a site that has a Flash ad I get a stupid pop-up box asking me if I want to download Flash 6 from Macromedia...

My current "best" machine is a PII-450 running on an AX6B M/B(440BX chipset). DMA33 transfers work fine in Windows, but not in DOS. Yes, they are set in the CMOS but apparently that doesn't make them active unless the appropriate driver is loaded. Why do I even care if I have Ultra33...

I started this topic on SR but consider it important enough to post here also since some of you no longer visit SR's B&G. Here is a link to the thread at SR: http://forums.storagereview.net/viewtopic.php?t=3953 :x :x :x < This doesn't even begin to describe how mad I am that Congress...

I was just by SR and I noticed that there weren't any new topics or posts by Jason, so just out of curiosity I checked when his last post was, and found it is was on Tue Jun 11, 2002 at 8:17 pm, or just over a week ago. Am I the only one here who is completely dumbfounded by this? Or is anyone...

Any ideas on how large magnetic mechanical hard drives will get before some insurmountable technological limit is reached? It seems that every time we get close to reaching the limits of storage technology something new like IBM's "pixie dust" comes along. I'll start with my thoughts on the...

OK, it's official. I'm now Storage Forum's New York City tour guide(an unofficial title I have bestowed upon myself), and I'll explain how this came to be. Several months ago Cliptin e-mailed me and expressed a desire to see NYC for himself. I offered my opinions on some things of personal...

The topic says it all. When I try to save any forum page, I end up with a "Web page not saved" message. I'm using IE5 and Win98, and I have no problem saving pages from SR's forum which uses the same software.

Nice to see a bunch of familiar faces here already. Tannin/Tea/Tony Wilson invited me over to help with the beta testing. I'm using my SR handle, in case you're wondering who I am. :) Anyway, I had a couple of ideas for the new forum: 1)If possible(and with Eugene and Davin's permission, of...
