Under Sales Pomotions, choose Current Programs. Towards the bottom is Evaluation Unit Offer. I have no need for either of these models, so those who buy should report back for the benefit of others....

Realilse that, to be a business, you only need you. If you're a consultant, working under your own name, you may not even need a license. How would Seagate know, anyway?

Seagate is offering the Momentus 7200.1 100GB PATA drive (model ST910021A) for $97.50, and the Barracuda 7200.9 500GB SATA drive (model ST3500641AS) for $162.50 (limit one each) to Seagate Partner Program members. It costs nothing to sign up, and I know a number of folks here might actually...

Usually the power LED blinks when the computer is suspended. Of course, something from Intel might be different.

Dell... Now we have the processors that you wanted three years ago.

VirtualPC integrates well with Windows XP. That's about it. I'm also in the VMware camp. I'm trying to upgrade my processors so that I can run 64-bit guests....

Is this before or after the supposed price cut later this month? And how will it compare with the comparable Athlon 64 chip (to which we should really be comparing, anyway).

Just about anywhere that you can regularly get a hurricane/tropical cyclone/typhoon is where you want to be.

Todays update: A. Tried reflashing to the previous BIOS. No change. B. Tried reflashing to current BIOS. No change. C. Tried relaxing memory timing. No change. D. Swapped the processors. No change. I'm still skittish on the newer BIOS, so I'm leaving that be. I did notice that, while...

Having used an SMP system for the last few years, I can tell you that this is not baloney. It's a question, however, of multitasking the many existing single-threaded and non-SMP applications. I'd say this is not a situation that a lot of business and e-mail/web users find themselves; but...

It's about market share. If someone buys an AMD chip, they're not likely to turn around and buy another computer in the next few months, let alone with an Intel chip. If a person can get a comparable AMD-based computer for less, they're more likely to get it. If they can get that computer...

After additional reading, all that "4x4" appears to be is dual-socket without the necessity of registered memory. Whoopee.

As Captain Miller said in Saving Private Ryan, “Complaints go up, not down.”

Only 8GB?

I let you know once I get past 1 through 4, later this week....

I suppose that's fine, but items in *my* account shouldn't disapear when *another* account is nuked.

I received an e-mail message from the website yesterday at about 12:14p that I had a private message. When I came to the website this morning, I had the note on the toolbar that I had one new message, but there was no message. Better yet, the message that I had received previous to that, as...

Someone in another forum suggested that this error was related to the corrupted file system, and has nothing to do with any physical problems with the disk. The error message still remains cryptic. What utilities can I use to query the number of grown defects?

I have considered both of these. Right now I'm waiting to see if someone from Iwill gets back with anything useful before I work on it again, later this week. Right now I have: 1. Relax memory timing 2. Reflash to current BIOS 3. Reflash to previous BIOS 4. Flash to newer BIOS 5. Swap...

No, I haven't, although I had considered flashing to a newer, unofficial BIOS version. Then, of course, one person who has tried it reports hosing their computer. I have reset the BIOS about six times, to no avail.

So the issue here is actually the location of ports, not the number, per se? What do you have, and where?

As part of the previously mentioned work in my case, I swapped my 2x Opteron 246 (CG stepping) to 2x Opteron 850 (E4 stepping). Before doing so, I updated to the latest official BIOS for my board, an Iwill DK8N; the computer did not show any unusual behavior after the update. Since the...

The likely explanation for the fix, but not the error. I should also note that, when I tried to image the drive with Ghost, it initially quit with an error. Running chkdsk on the volume again yielded another crop of errors and a message of ten more bad sectors found.

Perhaps I'm being a bit silly here, as I have eight USB 2.0 ports on my computer, but isn't the issue the number of simultaneous devices? Not all of these items need power *and* need to be plugged-in at the same time.

After formating the drive with Seatools, it's happy days again. The drive now passes the self test with no errors. Any theories on this?

Wasn't there a recent driver that did away with that requirement?

Welcome to three years ago. To my knowledge, Antec doesn't make their own PSUs, but it's been obvious for some time that they aren't managing their OEMs well, as quality has been going down since the TruPower series became popular.

It seems the longer that they put this operating system off, the better.

Upon test by Seatools. one of my 15k.4s returns the result "Self Test Segment 0 Failed." What does this mean? The long story: Yesterday, I was making some changes in the case of this computer. Among these was turning over one of drives which had previously been mounted upside down; the...

This feels soooo stop-gap.

Whatever happen to those AMD-IBM and ATI-Intel merger rumours?

I'm ready for the $100 500GB drive.

Actually, paper photographs are subject to a high level of corruption and data loss. You just don't notice it.

I thought that maybe they'd figured out how to shoe-horn that third platter in...

I don't think that the in-place upgrade is quite a slick as Mercutio is making it out to be, but it's a lot slicker than nuke-and-reinstall.

M4A is the MP4 container. It is also used by the likes of AAC. ALAC is an awful monster, akin to WMA. Thanks to |33+ 4axors, there is help: http://craz.net/programs/itunes/alac.html

There are key changing utilities (I think that there may even be one from Microsoft).; but the new key must match the install media. In your case, it probably won't; then you're back to Mercutio's solution.

And I thought that they wanted people to adopt the new interface....

A lot of people are surprised that dollar coins cost the US government less than dollar bills. Considering that your average bill lasts about 18 months, and your average coin about 20 years, that the bill costs less than half to make doesn't seem to quite cover it.

What about the K8WE?

As I've said before, AMD really only has the price/performance to hold out to people. Right now, they hold pretty good pricing power, but once Intel's Core chips hit the market in force, they'll begin to lose that. While there will be some losening of prices, I really expect them to just move...

All of these different editions are a load of baloney. Much like 8MB (and now 16MB) drive caches, this is charging the end-user a lot for something that costs them very little.

I believe that's called San Francisco.

If I recall correctly, this device is an off-shoot of a discussion on a board concerning hoarding the older copper alloy pennies for their copper. The value of the copper in these pennies is currently greater than one cent. Copper is heavier than the zinc used in the newer copper-clad pennies...

Except for that volcano.

I'm a fan of his "Five Mexican Generals" border polilcy. It might just work.

That's right, Kinky Friedman of "The Texas Jewboys" fame is in the governor's race of the most self-centered state in the union: http://www.kinkyfriedman.com/

Pretty sneaky that. Defining the "graphics market" not to include the largest source of graphics logic.

Did Intel leave the graphics business? Last I checked, they had the highest share.
