    Poll: Anyone like to cook?

    Never mind, I think I figured it out. It's like changing diapers isn't it? You set the kid in the corner and turn the garden hose on him right? Works great.

    Welcome Eric. I agree with you about floppies. I'd feel very insecure about a PC without one. When all else fails it's nice to have that bootable floppy to fall back on.

    Hyperthreading (SMT)

    It is in the Prestonias. Here is a link from Intel's developer site (you'll need to register I think to get on it) explaining it. http://developer.intel.com/technology/hyperthread/ Note that what they claim is a 30-40% improvement in the allocation of "resources" not in performance. If you'd...

    Hyperthreading (SMT)

    Here are my Xeons rendering VOB files with Xmpeg. They run at about the same temp as my old 1.7 Foster Xeons. Though it shows all four processors working, the improvement in performance is minimal. I suspect software is going to have to be optimised for SMT before we see any real benefit.

    Anyone tried posting on SR in the last half-hour or so

    Just a slight snafu with the Bar and Grille over there. It should be fixed shortly. As far as I can tell the other forums are fine.

    SiS645 chipset, are you tempted to turn to Intel again?

    Coug, If it's good enough for Ace's it's good enough for me. My statement was way too general in nature anyway. Sometimes I post before I think which is not wise. 8)

    Owwww that stings Mon Ami. If the Net reviewers said it. It must be true. Now I must retreat to lick my wounds and work on that shameful bias of mine. :oops:

    Intel Processors with non-Intel chipsets always leads to BSODs.

    New topics...

    At some point, should this become the default BBS after the 28th, how about adding "Technical Support" and "For Sale or Trade" forums? Mark brought up a good point of how the tech support over at SR dropped in quality once the support forum was combined with the computer forum.

    I was only kidding.. No offence intended! How does the image look now? Looks way too "grainy" to me but then the jpg image looked fine to me to begin with so I'll have to go by your opinion. Thanks.

    Hyperthreading (SMT)

    Ah ha!!! The very first post in the Computer Forum!! Aren't I special? Just to be on topic here, what do you guys think of Hyperthreading? Looks very promising but that's about all. My Xeons have it enabled but so far it hasn't shown any big improvement over the performance when I disable it...
