Is it just me or are we dropping?

I'm in the market for another sound card... I need something pretty basic and was probably going to order off ebay or get something overstock or on clearance if possible... I was thinking about getting another Fortissimo II because the one I got from Clocker works great, the control panel/mixer...

for the most part, CPU's have a max speed.. whether you attain it through multiplier adjustments or through FSB adjustments doesn't matter much to the CPU. However, your motherboard might not run stabily as you get to higher FSB clock speeds(especially faster than the processors it was...

You'd almost have to get LCD if you wanted your monitor to be wooden... the CRT's would produce too much heat I think

wow... I didn't realize they used chipsets below 440BX in the s370's.

1 generic PSU, 1 Antec PSU (although it didn't need it), 1 LiteOn PSU, and 1 Enlight PSU..... then assorted molex Y cable and fan connectors. I originally did this to prevent the cheap wires from pushing out of the molex connector on a fan I had... making the rest of the devices on the chain...

Why is that? My 1.3 duron (mandrake)was cranking out twice the WU that my pIII (winME)was, but for some reason always had a lower score... i dont get it.. how do they calculate the dumb score anyway?

This is a slotA athlon 750 (model 2, k75, .18 micron process, 512MB L2 cache) with heatsink (a moderate fan is needed but not included) Markings on CPU read: K7750MTR52B A I have been able to clock it to 900mHz but not stable (didn't over volt).. and normally ran it at 800mHz The motherboard...

bump

let me know if you can find a matching stain for your furnature and i will pick some up.

I might be interested in building something like this. I have a decent amount of woodworking experience. Having worked with wood since a small child, I've made benches and a gun case as well as some carvings and restorations of gun stocks and old furnature... not to mention helping out with...

Honold, I'm not questioning your judgement because you have more knowledge of networking and domain controllers than I do.. but if it works in 2k... but not in XP.. how is it a DNS issue if both OS's are set to use the same gateway/DHCP server? I guess if Merc wanted(if he hasnt tried...

What aprt of what I said don't you agree with? the fact that Socket370 was designed for the coppermine core? The fact that Socket370 is in many ways simliar to slot I? or that upgrading is usually possible via an adapter? Any way you look at it, the first mention of socket 370 goes out the...

1mm steel vs 1mm aluminum... I'd get the steel.... although I am not very fond of Japanese Steel, I think it will provide a sturdier, more dent proof enclosure that should last for years. It goes for $119 here (without the PSU)... but man if that isn't expensive for a case.... One of the...

arg... I mistakenly ordered http://www.spirecoolers.com/asp/fcc.asp?ProdID=73 The Whisper Rock III(instead of the FalconRock II)... As far as I can tell the fan is ~300RPM faster, the heatsink is all aluminum(no copper base) and the clip is single instead of 3 position. I suppose the...

How could a simply change in a routing table get changed to "getting everybody back on the auth server" Wouldn't an routing change on MSN's network be pretty quick as well?

I was being facetious Buck. I have seen Tannin's site and I know what he thinks of Elitegroup; A.K.A. ECS; A.K.A. PC Chips

IE's saving really blows... mozilla saves many pages that IE can't.. and it does a much better job on alot that IE screw up on(which seem to be most) Instead of CTRL-C/CTRL-V, CTRL-Insert/Shift-Insert... the IE toolbar is really customizable... that is one thing that I liked about it... i don't...

we're uber l33t

How can you say that ECS is Pox, given you're extensive experiences with them seem to be so possitive?

actually, I think that coolermaster is really a 70mm fan... have to check on that later. I'm off to pickup my 800JB.

man, im inflating my count by the moment... a couple of other things.. RC averaging period seems to work best if set to half the number of frames you intend to encode.... And the mpeg4 tools at the beginning (GMC, B-Frames, and Q-Pel) have all been shown to increase file size... hmmm...

That's what I do with a long reply sometimes... or, even easier is to simply copy the entire post to the clipboard before hitting submit.... however, I have never lost a post here on SF... can't you use the back button? always works for me here.

also, another thing to think about (not sure if you're aware) is the number of macro blocks you have in your video... DIVX devides the screen into 16x16 pixel blocks called macro blocks... If you make your video resolution evenly divisible by 16 pixels then you will achieve a better quality to...

woops.. should have proofed that.... I meant to say the lower the number, the better the quality..... quantizer 1 (or was it 0) is the best image quality, while higher numbers result in worse quality

you need to adjust your quantizer under advanced perameters... these are what really set your bitrate. The lower the Quantizer number, the worse the quality... so change the default 2/12 combo to something like 6/24... and/or try using 2 pass. The 1st pass will let the 2nd pass know what the...

They have a new p4 optimized version of Virtual dub :-) so we can pit our computers against each other.. my sb51g w/ 2.0 Celeron & 512 pc2700 and your 2100+

what is the max slated barton speed? I have seen as high as 3200+. If the Barton runs cooler with similar performance to the t-bred core and has a higher possible speed then I'm interested.

So was the "getting everyone back on the authentication servers" typical PR bull shit spin like I thought? I really dislike it when people use "big words" to try and confuse/cloud the real issue.

I have a palomino 1700+ and a Duron 1.3. I'm all about quiet and these look like great coolers for the price... I may even run them below stock speed considering the not so heavy load. ...Both computers are now folding constantly Current temps: Palomino 1700+ CPU: 119F (Coolermaster...

I agree... BX is sweet... orginally designed for single CPU 100mHz operation with pII's and is able to push 133mHz, use PIII's, and run dual CPU configs... awesome.. simply awesome.

another question...now that t-breds support 333mHz operation.. what's the difference between them and the barton (barring the L2 cache size)? In other words, why should I get a Barton? and when will I know if a motherboard supports the barton?

I have a $300 budget box? I was just asking out of curiosity... plus I have a friend who will be putting together a computer in 3 or so months and just wanted an estimate of what would be available and best when he does put his computer together.... we were looking at the Nforce2 based A7n8x...

I should note that the 'G' series is just the addition of onboard graphics to the otherwise same chipset. Intel has to compete with SiS, and on the other side AMD, VIA, and Nvidia... in Server, workstation, and Desktop computers... so they have to have a wide variety of chipsets for every...

my guess is database corruption.. somebody used an illegal character in their user/pass and it killed their database, eh? like a semi colon?... just kidding, even MS and more importantly it's database software should be able to catch that with simple error checking routines.

Thanks merc, becuase of your recomendation I bought 2 of the speeze coolers from newegg for only $8 each Speeze CPU Fan Model 5F263B1M3 for AMD/Intel Socket A/370 http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?DEPA=&submit=Go&description=5F263B1M3 http://www.spirecoolers.com/asp/fcc.asp?ProdID=86...

im glad I started a hot topic here... i was getting bored

I'm not sure where to place the RAMBUS people... they knew they were buying PC's that were doomed to obsolesence... but where the fastest thing available at the time. In my mind this was their choice and they got what they paid for. Besides, anybody who bought a RAMBUS motherboard(knowing what...

If i were to nitpick with Tannin, which would surely be against my better judgement, I would have to disagree with this a bit. On the AMD side, as we've already said there seem to be distinctions between the different XP cores and the ability to run them consistantly on several boards... so I...

Basically, I started this thread to point out that whether you go Intel or AMD with a particular motherboard, there are no guantees as to the future upgradability of that motherboard. Given the recent track record of both Intel and AMD motherboards, I don't think you can say that one has...

Thanks for the info

At the time, this chipset was "known" for instability and is one of the reasons VIA got it's reputation for not being as stable as AMD as far as chipsets are concerned. Abit KT7A (kt133a) Asus A7V133 (kt133a) ASus A7V266 (kt266) MSI has one that should support XP's Soyo's can support...

not to mention the new southbridge that has audio, LAN, USB 2.0, etc

yes, but i didn't... what's wrong with the 845g? pc2100 support, hyperthreading support... 533/400FSB support... not supporting DDR333 is barely worth mentioning considering the performance over DDR266 boost is probably barely, if at all, noticable (although it is benchmarkable)

I haven't lost the plot, i just dont see it. No kx133 can run a socket AMD... the lifetime was only a few months.... no kt133 can run an Athlon XP... this unstable chipset also only lasted a few months.... very few kt133a boards can run Athlon XP's.... all kt266/266a boards and above can...

but the Author of course, doesnt state that you can start off with an 845PE and a p4 1.6gHz and get to atleast 3.5gHz(which is what im doing)... that is a double in speed. We should all wish for the 486 days, eh? go from 33 to 120mHz... over drive processors.... ISA memory add ons... No, not...

there are t-bred 1600's too.... I have a question... im gonna look it up and do a bit of research that will never pay off.. but would be nice to know... I want to know what speed the T-bred b starts at and how it differes from the t-bred A... I think it starts at 2600+, and is slightly...

Re:Intel Builds In More Built In Obsolescence I think this areticle is really bias against intel and goes against what it itself is saying... the author is critisizing in this statement "Hopefully, next time, the technical community as a whole, both paper and web, will recognise that fact — and...

i could probably find a good home for that card (the ultra33) if you decide you don't need it any more.

getting everybody back on the authentication servers? did they lose everyones password? and have to go from backups?
