What I mean is that if you built a computer out of new components you would not ahve put the two together A) when the MMX came out super 7's were not available... so it would not be possible to have built a system with a super 7 and MMX at the time. B) when super 7's came out you could easily...

hmm seems like 15 feet is what the official firewire 1 specs claim. Although it says you can daisy chain devices to get longer distances(possibly upto 72 meters). Firewire is also a p2p based bus (evey device on the chain can talk to every other device on the cahin without the need for a host...

man.. USB sucks... Im going to look up firewire specs

lets see, I have one of the bugged P66's.. and 2 of the AMD 486's that ran past 100Mhz... I'm not sure of their exact speeds though. The 60, 90, 120, and 180(Pentium pro) all ran on the 60Mhz bus. The diff between 20 and 33mHz bus was really moot... if you wanted, run the FSB at 75 and get a...

Yeah, where I used to work we had probably 20-30 office machines all running Celery's ~400mHz on Slot 1 boards with a slotket. Every RAM slot had a stick in it.. I think most machines had 320MB of PC100 (@66mhz of course). I would assume that this is fairly common for most offices considering...

you bastard! you are, of course, correct.

Why did I say 50? I meant 60.... I dont think any pentiums ran at 50Mhz bus officially... although I believe Cyrix had just about every bus speed/voltage/multiplier combination known to man in their line of processors.

I usually just put my capture app at high or above normal priority... I won't drop frames on my xp1700+ of course I don't think my card can cap at high resolution... I usually cap at ~ 320x240 I don't think I am able to cap at 640x480... BTW.. that reminds me... I have an entire anime...

you *could* use an MMX cpu in a super 7.... the only time you would probably ever see this is if someone built a computer out of leftovers... which would mean an MMX using SDRAM... I thought I saw 180mhz MMX's... I guess those were Pentium pro's maybe... I know thay ran at 180.... I guess you...

the k6's spanned across several bus speeds and memory technologies.... I felt that the Intel processors would be better suited for someone to guage a computer's speed... ex: a pentium MMX runs on a 66(possibly 50)mhz bus, uses EDO RAM, socket 7 board, probably a PCI vid card. The MMX's speeds...

The same could be said about a certain banana eating primate we both know. http://storageforum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1574#23959

why would a monkey concern herself with such things? If you want, go ahead and throw out all the outliers... I'm sure that are a few on either end of this spectrum... The mean is what I had intended, but I suppose median would be the "best" way of sorting... considering that the mode is likely...

I was just wondering what everbody thinks the "avererage joe" is running in their computer. This does not neccessarily mean what people are buying... if you think the average joe is using 2+ year old equipment because it stil meets his needs, then by all means say so. I through in the core...

I hadn't even heard of such a thing until a couple months ago... It is a great idea.

one million words, eh? were you counting only unique words? or the total number of words used in the reply? does that include a quotation from another source?

how much did you pay for the AIW 8500? I was thinking about getting either that card or the AIW 7500... the 7500 is getting older by the second so I am really not sure if I will ever buy it. The reason I want it is because I want video in (I don't neccesarily need a tuner though), HD15 analog...

lol... i've seen that happen... I was working in tech support.. and some old lady set her outlook to view only files that have already been read... so in other words.. any new mail she got was invisible... and she was complaining that outlook said she had unread messages and she couldn't find...

huh.. i get those all the time.

so, to sumn up the conversation.. If it is worth upgrading... you should do it with a coppermine based Celeron (sometimes called the Celeron II) that runs at 100Mhz bus... ie: Celeron 800-1000Mhz using the coppermine core. You do not want to goto the 1.2Ghz or above celery's as they are using...

It just arrived. In great shape I might add... retail package in good quality with all cables, software, and manual in original packaging.

how many monkeys does it take to screw in a light bulb? it only takes two: the hard part is getting them IN the lightbulb. .... This guy went to the zoo one day. While he was standing in front of the gorilla's enclosure, he noticed the gorilla watching him intently. The man waved at the...

durr.. nevermind

tea.... didn't the later celerons run at 100mhz bus? I believe so.

just a side note.. at microcenter I saw a mechanical USB KVM siwtch for $30-$40... Tea's hypothesis might be correct... but it dumbfounds me how just a few yards of USB cable could be too much (even when hubbed/switched). You would think that the hardware/tehnology would be more robust.

aparently a new version of Ximian Evolution has been released since RH8... get it here: http://www.ximian.com/products/evolution/download.html

I would doubt that the firewall would be your problem as you are sending an outgoing connection to the mail server and then requesting data from that connection... very similar to surfing to a website. One thing I noticed about evolution is it would sometimes "forget" .. or not save my IMAP...

Dont you think that should have gone under the pizza thread?

I had a co-worker that could impersinate almost anyody that he saw talking... arnie and sean connery come to mind.

i think it might get upto 60 F here in the next week.. but will probably not. http://www.weather.com/weather/local/66217?lswe=66217&lwsa=WeatherLocalUndeclared

wow Ewen.. you joined SF on my birthday... I just noticed.

the IOgear KVM's I linked to started at ~$100 I thought.... I have seen USB KVM's locally for under $100... but yes, USB switches start at $30 and goto about $60 before you start to say "hmmm".... Supporting Fushigi, as far as I know you can install AOL and tell it to use a LAN(or TCP/IP)...

the USB KVM switch can handle more than just keyboards and mice... it is supposed to b able to be hooked to a hub and you can share *ANY* USB device... I believe the documentation specifically mentions printers and/or scanners.. but it might of just been the site I was looking at. I don't know...

Well, i guess it is really just a thermister or other type of sensor that is located on the CPU... there is still monitoring hardware that is necessary to read the temperature... This system will always have some error and discrepencies from board to board. What is all the new talk about...

Have you considered a USB based KVM switch from IOgear? I believe they take stuff manufactured by other companies and slap their case and name on the outside... but I have read good reviews of their 2 and 4 port KVM switches. As with anything, do some research before buying... I especially...

With temp sensors now being located on the CPU die I hope that the reported CPU temps will start to become consistant across different models and brands of motherboards.

that's pretty much how I see it.

Do you think that the sensors are likely to be off? I think that there must be a lot of variation on temperature sensors. I've seen on forums where someone switched motherboards and their temps went up or down... This might be due to changing the thermal paste and different airflow casued by...

da da da da da Daisy Fuentas. blah blah blah blah blah Bush. yes, you can tell I watch the spanish channels occasionally. I would really like a French channel too. Do they have French channel?

for some reason I don't think there is a name server for the .popedomain tea..... maybe I could do pope.blakerwry.us or pope.blakerwry.com or... you pick the ending cause nobody's going to have blakerwry in their domain unless it is me ;-)

As long as the PSU is supplying voltage with the 5% and 10% allowances and my machine is stable, I wouldn't replace it. I have seen examples such as what I gave several times.. .yes mainly with "no name" PSU's... My Antec smart power 350 on a Soyo Dragon plus is 0.6% low on the 3.3v line and...

Me and my girlfriend have different accounts on my winXP box. It doesn't make much difference, but she likes to choose the different themes, where as I prefer a clean look and dislike sounds everytime i click on something... There are a few minor differences like icon size/placement and...

I hvae a question... err rather would like to hear a debate on the topic... If you are viewing the voltage monitoring software for your mobo and notice that your CPU or RAM voltage is a little low... should you raise the values in order to get the monitoring software to show the correct values...

Welcome D, I can't say I remember you from pre-crash SR days... as i didnt visit the SR forum much then... but I'm glad to have you join our cozy home we have here at SF.

true

And I should mention that I do think alot of peoples' purchasing decisions are directly influenced by radio and TV ads. I think some of us - including myself - have grown to cynical to believe that advertisements might be truthful, so we scavange for reviews and roundups in an attempt to get...

Do you get sucked into infomercials as much as I do? I don't actually buy stuff from TV (QVC, home shopping network, infomercial or otherwise).. but sometimes I find myself watching an hour long infomercial - this usually occurs only at the late late hours of the early morning - and thinking...

Allright, you've forced me to do it. In an effort to compete, I have consolidated all my machines into a single username.

ehhehe... that reminds me of a segment on TIVO I was listening to on NPR.. They were interviewing a head of a TV network and he was saying that TIVO was bad because it allows people to fast forward through commercials. And to him, that was undermining the network and it's sponsors. On another...
