hmmm life book eh? crusoe.... fast speed, but I'd rather have an intel .. even at lower speed(I'm sure everyone says this at 1st) 10" screen... hmm that's a few inches smaller than i was hoping for... 12 hour battery... very nice! built in DVD/CD.. nice.. but required by me. built in LAN...

My point is that a disc solution...(while maybe slower).. is not a bad thing. Depending on the implementation of each idea I see them as fairly equal.

Hard disks are just so costly and prone to damage... a writable DVD cost less and is simpler to maintain. The advantages of a HDD is taht they are fast and can basically be written to an infinite amount of times. The disadvantage is that they will wear out after a few(maybe 5) years of constant...

But it's just so easy to backup and restore in its default location... i usually do a clean install every 6 months to a year... plus I sometimes take out my bulk storage drive for various reasons... I wouldn't want to be without my "my docs" folder which includes downloads, school files...

E_dawg, hows the "shit box" coming along? you ever get a new HDD for it? Looks like you've already decided on the 10kIII.. never had one myself, but looked like the drive i would get if I went SCSI 1) because of overall value 2)reliability 3)good speed. The cheatah got my attention, but it...

well.. i was thinking the same thing.. a thermister is a resister.. and as such has no polarity requirements.. however I remember my old Abit mobo (my 1st mobo to have temp sensoring via a thermister)... well I found out that for some reason if you plug in the thermister backwards it would...

buggy thermister perhaps? Dont thermisters need to be plugged in with the correct polarity (I'm pretty sure of this one) or they read the wrong temp? hmm 1,660 is a bit above the spec'd min (1,300)... almost 30% faster. I wonder if the one you got is "lazy" so to speak, and doesn't increase...

haha.. i had quicken on an 8088 (or maybe 8086)... I think that was DOS 3.x or something... pretty bad....

anybody seen shuttles ICE heatpipe? http://www.shuttle.com/new/images/productimages/ph4.jpg one part connects to the CPU like a normal HSF, however through conduction heat is transfered to a radiator type part where heat can be transfered out of the case through standard air cooling. it works...

blah, i found an error in my calculations... i had been looking in the log and recording what time, for example, frame 150 was completed and then recording what time frame 100 was completed and finding the difference... that gives me 51 frames.. instead of 50... so my data is slightly off...

next time i get a 623 protein I'll lower my mem speed(keeping my CPU/FSB speed constant) and see what happens.

dont forget IBM/Hitachi plays that game now... even Seagate i believe.

i've never had to do work on RIMM boards.... and most baords that i see that require ECC/Registed are usually server type boards... not typically what i would call POS.

I put "the people who make the stupid monkey" because it offers no contribution.. it is a piece of spyware.. it is purposely designed to not be properly uninstalled.... to me, that is just wrong. While I may not like MS's licensing... and it is debatable whether they are involved in unfair...

I think misfitsoft trying to modify java to their liking was a bunch of shit. Sun owns Java... There is 1 clear standard of java, it's free for me to program with it, it's free for people to use my program... it works on any platform that has a JRE (also free)... what more can you want...

screw those msft bastards

jtr1962, it sounds like too much of a pain.. I'd rather not worry about whether this video card will work with this mobo..etc.. I'd just rather keep a spare stick of RAM around to test with. It's not like there is a shortage of PC133 or 266 around my house.

Hmm... i should benchmark my duron 1.3.. i dont get your explanation of durin vs t-bred... they are moth capable of utilizing the same memory... my duron 1.3 runs ECC PC2100...

virtual dub has a built in scheduling type feature called "job control" that allows you to encode video that you have setup earlier.. it shows the start and end time of each pass you perform... also vdub has the ability to save your settings for vid/audio to a file. So it would be quite easy to...

All measurements were done with the computer at idle after the WU had been completed.

You were right... I have been benchmarking my celery 2.0a w/ 512MB pc2100 against my Palomino 1700+ w/ 512MB pc2700 and I found that atleast on the 623 protein the athlon was ~20% faster. I'm sure the pc2700 helped the athlon... I bet if the celery had the pc2700 and the Athlon had the 2100...

god that would be scary if they new there was a problem. I can only hope that they pretty much instantly desintegrated at that speed and felt no pain. It's really unfortunate that they were just ~20 minutes from landing and being able to see their families.

so do you expect a real push for 64 bit computing in the PC market or is this going to be more of a server/workstation thing?

That just sucks.

hmm.. looks like the Paris and the Victoria will take the Duron's role in the future(both having 1/4th the L2 cache)... Question here.... since the new hammer chips will be capable of 64 bit operation while still using x86 instructions.... will software designed for them be able to run on...

to take an idea from a movie.. I think microsoft's End user license agreement should start off like this:

That's insane! I liked the old "general" licensing rules that I learend in the early 90's.... a) you can install the program to as many machines as you want as long as it's used by only 1 person b) you can install the program on 1 machine and let any amount of people use it. I think this...

I agree that OE is better than outlook... atleast for me... Outlook is slower and more bloated, harder to configure... and it costs more.

ah... the time shown in unitinfo.txt and in the log is Grenwich mean time... hmph.. seems the same on another windows computer... I'll have to check later if my linux box does that... i dont think so.

http://www.storageforum.net/groltz/ lol, look at his smilies... yes the file is not there...

Anybody know if AMD will continue their Duron line of CPU's? I remember it was originally speculated on some hardware review sites that Durons would move to the 133mHz FSB hat the Athlon XP's enjoyed... but I wonder if that will happen. Additionally.. do you think it's even neccessary to...

anybody else weary about buying things on forums? Personally I might buy off amazon.com's private sellers/used merchandise and ebay... and here... but that's it. Anything else I buy is from an established retailer or a friend.

I'm glad you took me up on my word for Shuttle AK32's... and i'm glad they're working out for you.

i forgot to answer that question.... no, I havent personally activated 2 copies of XP on the same PC... but if you think about the license agreement.. you are fully within your right to install XP as many times as you want on a single computer.... it just sounds like in this case you are taking...

No offense, but that seems like an even worse idea... if you had 1MB built into the mobo it would occupy 1 of the few banks that you can use... and you're not really even taking advantage of that bank if you only put in 1 MB...(usually you can use 3 sticks of RAM stabily at a mobo's max speed)...

1) 50 hours? maybe 500 hours.... around here 50 hours of operation = 2 days. 2) Neat idea... i wonder how people will feel if their case now acts as a radiator? 3) also a good idea... as long as the HDD is as secure as corrent solutions I'm all for vibration isolation. 4) eh... AGP and PCI...

i used IE 2/3 in win3.1... it blows compared to netscape 2.0. Netscape rules!!!

I had the reciept, serial number, etc.... infact I believe they WOULD have replaced it if the recipet had not said "white box" next to the cards description. Unfortunately they required 2 copies of the reciept/a proof of purchse in order to return the card. Like i said i was impressed by their...

I've tripple booted 2K with redhat and ME before... I've also psuedo dual booted XP simply by using a different kernel, but keeping everything else the same. I would think you could pretty easily do this by partitioning a single drive into 2 partitions using Fdisk... install XP to the 1st...

The Folding@home log file reading is a custom job by myself... im sure others have made their own scripts as well... here's the code: +--------- | FOLDING \ +-----------------------------------+ | Current Protein: | | <NAME=FILEDATA FORMAT="C:\Program...

hmmm... I just looking in my folding@home log and it thinks it is currently 17:00 hours???? I thought myabe it was getting AM/PM mixed... but that would make the time either 11:00 hours or 23:00 hours... 17:00 hours corresponds to 5:00pm WTF?

question: Has anybody else seen this behavior? http://anime-jennie.com/hdd/folding.gif In the bottom right of the screen you will see the data grabbed from the unitinfo.txt file in the folding@home directory.... this shows that I downloaded my work unit at 14:24 on Jan 31st(i openned...

I hated to vote IE... but I think I do spend most of my time using IE because it's most convenient right now. Becaues of my class structure this semester I am using library computers instead of EECS computers... this means IE and not mozilla, additionally my linux box is in command line only...

woohoo we moved up a place... unfortunately the university of alabama is gaining on us... just last week they were down ~4000 points.. now they are less than 1000 points behind... hopefully most of their computers will be off (and not idle) this weekend and will give us a chance to regroup and...

i dont answer the phone anymore unless I'm expecting a call... infact I've turned off the ringer completely. I have 2 phones 1) a cordless for convenience and 2) a corded see through phone that has a mechanical ringer and a light that flashes when it should be ringing... mainly for backup...

hey merc.. here is somethign i thoguht was an interesting idea.... building a computer into a slide out, removable drawer... http://www.silentpcreview.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=44&page=1

heh.. im buying an ELSA Synergy II TNT2 32MB card for ~$11 off ebay... im not sure if it's an m64 (64bit memory bus vs the standard 128bit).. but it will do the trick. yes, I agree that it might have been cheaper just to send me a new card.

so good i had to post it twice i guess....

here's a small rant I made on guillemot's tech support forums after I got mad at them for not honoring their warantee. Previous reference to the problem can be found here: http://storageforum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1615&highlight=guillemot so this leaves me with a half way broken...
