That's bullshit! Didn't SUV's contribute to make snow storms get worse! Plus, in Quebec, more than half of the vehicles (don't remember exactly how many) are sub-compact or compact cars. Those aren't the types of cars that usually handle well in snow or ice. You don't see everyone in Quebec...

Asus also has a similar product. http://usa.asus.com/products/vga/v8170se/overview.htm

Nice stories. Anyone who worked in a tech support can somehow relate to that...

Anyway, if such chipset came out, it would be excellent news for the dual socket A platform. Dual channel DDR makes perfect sence in a dual processor system. Plus, the 760MPX and the boards based on it are getting a bit old, they lack such features as USB 2.0, Firewire, S-ATA, AGP 8X, etc...

Is this confirmed news? I suppose not...and for now, i hope not. I just bought a Tyan Tiger MPX... Ah well, i'll just have to upgrade when it comes out :).

I was also having troubles coug. But it seems to be ISP related. I (tried) to play counter-strike that afternoon and had a ping of 200, compared to the usual 30 (half of the players on the server had a high ping while the others had a regular one). I could not access SR and SF and my ICQ/MSN was...

:lol:

Most people who actually need to secure their computer have an admin password. The rest are those who do not want to enter a password. The windows 9x type of people :) .

?!? Linux superior? I never said that. It's because I do not know linux (and solaris, freebsd, etc...) that I refered to windows in my first post. I did not realize that it was present in many Oses. In fact, you are right, the linux boot loader can make you boot of a floppy or a CD-ROM. I...

Why not remove the floppy and CD-ROM drive :lol: .

You can set the BIOS so it boots the HD first, and then set a password in the BIOS. That way the user cannot boot with a cd or a floppy (you must probably arrange the bootloader too).

Then why put an administrator password then? Why secure the computer when you can bypass the admin password! It seems un-logical. Most of the time people have physical access to a machine when using it right? That's why I said that it's a major security issue. I just thought that there was no...

Obviously, there are chances that this is a false alert. Mayeb it's with windows XP home edition? And yes, most home installations of windows XP are unsecure, so it does not make any difference to the average Joe-WinXP user. However, if this was true, it would be a major hole in windows XP. I...

Whoaaa, there's Tea! What I meant (silly ape) is that the additionnal cache only compensates the fact that AMD are not able to boost the Athlon's clock speed. Imagine if they doubled the cache AND could give the XP a higher clock speed. Then we will have an extraordinary chip, much like the...

LOL! Why would a gameboy have a BSOD? They bundle it with windows 95?

That's when you're happy to live in Canada!

Awww....how awful!!!

The Barton 3000+ is nothing more than an Athlon XP 3000+. It's nothing extraordinary. I would have thought that the extra cache would really boost the athlon's performance and help it regain the performance crown but sadly, it did not happen. AMD is kind in survival mode with the Athlon right...

It's nice that they make them in a 36GB capacity. Perfect for boot/os/app drives. Performance wise, maybe the WD drives can outperform the Atlas 10KIV in desktop/high-end applications. It will probably depend on the firmware. WD 7200 drives have been good performers so maybe their first 10K...

I'm probably going to go for a Radeon 9000 PRO 64MB AGP. A PCI card would be a good idea, but it wastes a PCI slot for nothing. Does anyone know if the DVI to VGA converter comes in the reatil box of the Radeon 9000 PRO? It costs 13CAN$ for that adapter :excl:

I had similar problems with my Abit KT7A. Sometimes, when i'd cold boot, the system would start, but there was no video, no beep, no sign of life. I had to stop the system and start it again using the PSU switch. It was much less annoying than what you are exprencing. It happened about 5% of the...

e_dawg Is the retailer NCIX? I ask because they have an atlas 10k3 for 160$ : KW018L2 MAXTOR ATLAS10K3 QM318400KW-LW-E 18GB 10K 4.5MS 68PIN U160 SCSI $162.72 However, on another line, i see this : KW018L2 18.4GB SCSI U160 10K RPM ATLAS III 3.5LP 68PIN (US# 999802) $276.98 and...

Yep, I saw it too. An Atlas 10KIII at a nice price. The only thing holding me back is a lack for a SCSI controller! If you already have the controller, I think it's a good deal...

The only reason I would want good 3D is to replace temporarily my Gf2MX until I get a better video card. But the radeon 7000 does not have better 3D performance. Therefore, 3D is not an issue. I can't seem to find any of those old PCI cards. I suggested the radeon 7000 PCI because it's the...

I am not using an LCD. Never noticed the ovals you are talking about. (lol?) :roll: But I never stopped to think what resolution was better. I just saw that my screen's optimal resolution was 1280X1024@85Hz. I'm trying 1280X960 right now.... I do not need DVI. I will use my dual monitor much...

Of course, feel free to suggest other choices!

Hi. I will be getting a new video card soon. The main reason is I have an old 17" monitor in good condition that i'd like to use as a second monitor. What videocard(s) are best for dual monitor configurations. I'd like the video card to have good 2D quality, acceptable 3D performance (along...

WOW!!! .... WOW!!! .... WOW!! Anywone knows what capacities they will offer?

But all things considered, my vote goes to the monkey.

You forgot Apple! They'd take top prize in the 'worst maketing' category. Also, quick time for windows is one of the worst piece of software I ever came across. Microsoft have annoying licencing policies. However, because of the MSDNAA program, I get some of their software for free :) ...

Funny :D

I had the same problem a while ago, and after much seaching, it turned out to be a memory problem. The files were ok, but my memory was faulty, so it reported CRC errors in every zip or ISO file i could open. Try opening those files with another computer to see if the files are really getting...

Better late than never. I'm running F@H on my machine now...it's not much but it's better than nothing :) . My machine : - Athlon Thunderbird 1333 - 512 MB RAM - Wonderfull (:P) ECS K7S5A mobo.

Yes, it's almost ridiculous that they think auto-update will make windows more secure. Not only auto-update is useless for servers. In an enterprise environment, users cannot install updates themselves on their workstations. I remember that we deployed the auto-update feature to users, but it...

I think there is no way to evaluate which OS is more secure. Windows gets bashed because there are many attacks on it. But there are more people running windows, and I believe that there are more people who will take windows as a target. That must be considered. However, I agree that the...

Lol. Heard about this before. There are directions on the web site on how to remove them. So it's not the end of the word for the owners of the SUV's. I think it's a nice initiative.

Hello everyone ! Nice to re-meet you. Heard about this place at storagereview.com. This is my first post here, and hopefully not my last!
