I just want to keep track of the different sytems... Maybe i'll start putting my main box up for folding (Athlon XP 1700+) or my new box I'm getting for christmas.... It'll be a p4, but I don't know what speed...

how am I suposed to keep up? I'm going to ahve to add another machine to the mix... Do you guys think 486's could be used for folding?

I went from a pII 400 to a PIII 650.... really there wasn't a noticeable improvement in speed during the normal things done on the computer (surfing, email, word...) There has been an improvement in folding, though... and I think full screen DIVX playback has become a little smoother.. Since...

lol... end sub... go sub... reminds me of my Q-Basic days.

if you're interested, I havent tried the prev. mentioned programs, but I am using a little app called "down2home". It monitors my up/down totals and average speed and can easily display my stats in chart or 2D/3D graphical form on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis...

Acording to walmart.com, the Rayovac charger is $30 and the batteries (only 1600's) are another $10. While the batteries are an OK price, and the charger is an OK price, I got top of the line batteries instead of "value" batteries and an acceptable charger for the same price. *The site...

hey... i just want to chime in here.. most slot 1 boards will not take anything higher than a coppermine core... This means your most likely chance of upgrading would be a PentiumIII (E) or a Celeron. Some slotkets don't support both PPGA and FC-PGA/FC-PGA2 processors. (Any Celeron over 566mHz...

Yes I read the site, and I realize they are all made by Sanyo... but the price was $40... when compared to the $37 (Maha's comparable product) from newegg, $3 doesnt matter if I can get it now and not a week down the line. I figured since the batteries and charger came together that it would...

The problem with using NVRAM as a method of main storage is that the write limitations are in the thousands vs a HDD which would probably have no problem with something in the hundreds of thousands or more. IMO, Compact flash is already a proven standard. The cartridge and pinout design has...

I havent noticed any bad units... but I have had a bit of trouble connecting to the assignment server... but that might just be my connection.

Heh, I was at bestbuy picking up a DVD and decided to see their prices on NiMH batteries... they had the energizer 1850's with charger for $40... so I snatched it up (good excuse to empty that gift card I've had laying around). newegg seems to have better prices on the MAHA brand stuff...

not like this is a storage forum or anything..... You recomend CD-Rw's for backups.. however this is preciesely one of the reasons I use CD-R's... Because I feel they will last longer and be more reliable for archival purposes. I keep my backups for many months (I recently threw out some 2...

I believe that was taken in Dallas (my birth place) or Houston, Texas.

What do you guys think of these products at newegg.com? http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?DEPA=&submit=Go&description=POWEREX+MH%2DC204F+3%2DH The site linked earlier (http://www.imaging-resource.com) recommends this charger, and shows that their 1800 batteries are better than most...

Interesting, I guess I still have a case of stigma from the old ni-cad rechargable batteries... I never thought rechargable batteries would work better than new Alkalynes. I'll start researching some NiMH rechargable batteries. Maybe they will work out to be a good stocking stuffer.

woops, our current camera is not a canon, it's actually an Olympus

i agree with Merc, on every point there. If I write to a CD-RW... I do it only with temp data and I write to it with winXP's software (I dont have a UDF writer installed). This is mainly for testing purposes to get a finalized copy of something "just right".. or to give files to a friend. I...

I'm kind of in the same boat you are NRG. I would like a dig camera, mainly for on-screen use, but I may occasionally want some hard copies. If I need some hard copies I will probably go down to wallgreens(drug store chain in the US that has a photo dept.) and have them print my pics using...

have you tried increasing your font size and leaving everything at the native resolution? I know some prefer to use the "large" or "extra large" themes @ high resolutions in preference to the "normal" themes @ medium resolutions. Personally, I think it messes up formatting too much. But they...

Has anybody taken the time to review Arctic Silver's instructions for mounting heat sinks? http://www.articsilver.com/PDF/CompInst.pdf I know I have done a few of their no no's... including cleaning off an old thermal pad with a citrus based cleaner... heating up a thermal pad to help ease...

merc, you can get HD15 to 3, 4 or 5 way component video converter cables... no electronics needed. 3 way is for component video sync on green(common for HDTV's)... 4 is for fixed refresh rate monitors that sync on the horizontal (Some workstation displays/projectors)... and 5 way is for...

Is it possible to run an LCD at a lower resolution(than native) and use a form of interpolation when scaling the image up to make the resulting image look good? Or are you stuck with the only good quality picture being in the native resolution? Personally, I have always felt like I run at a...

will anyone remember windows in 20 years? or microsoft for that matter? I'm sure we will remember the invertion of the GUI.... but whether it will be windows, MacOS, or OS/2 they remember or not I am less sure of.

congrats... to a mere 500 poster, you are my idol.

here's another cute pic of me....

Me and my girlfriend on our summer vacation to Clearwater, Florida.

on a 20" screen (Viewable) you will probably have dimentions about 16" by 12"... if you are running @ 1600x1200 that gives you an even 100DPI(or pixel per inch if you prefer) both ways. But if you tried to run @ 1280x1024, you would get 80dpi on a 19" (viewable) you will find dimensions of...

whatever is confortable on the screen is good... typically, for a 15" i dont go above 800x600... 15" = 800 x 600 17" = 1024 x 768 19" = 1280 x 1024 20" = 1280 x 1024 or 1600 x 1200

When I introduced this topic, I was hoping to get some outside(outside the US) comments... just to see some other perspectives... anybody got one?

aww.... he was just trying to keep warm. What's a cold blooded animal to do?

What would you quote me, if I needed say 100MB transfer a month and 100mb of storage space for serving up static web pages? I would want unlimited domains and sub domains if possible and I would require FTP access. I'm just interested, because I may actually need someone to host my...

if you put things inside the "[Code]" block, they will be displayed using a fixed-width font such as courier. To display an image, it must be hosted somewhere. If you are going to just be needing things hosted like sigs, avatars, and the ocasional small pic (nothing more than ~30kb) then I...

really, you can get a wide/large plastic putty knife (adaquate for one time use) and spackle for under $10 at your local hardware store.. and 1000ft of cat5e with 100 ends w/ crimper and tester can be had for under $50 http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=CAT5E-1000-SK That puts it at...

How much is it going to cost you for the neccessary equipment? What equipment will you need? (I assume you need a NIC and something like an access point (or another NIC and a computer connected to it running ICS)... The alternative to this would be (1) the option similar to this but runs over...

http://www.harddrives4less.com/dismandow.html#0 this page has links to insctructions for all the major disk managers.... the one for samsung has a link that says "download program" which redirects you to "http://www.sec.co.kr/product/hdd/CSfHddDownloadMem_global.jsp"... but i think this is...

2d graphics are limited only by Your CPU speed/Bus speed. And lets not forget refresh rate. Basically, the graphics are going to be displayed as fast as your CPU can serve them up to the video card. It is not like in the 3D world where you need a high end video card to achieve maximum fps...

They sure as hell are in now.. they are the leader in high quality ATA RAID products... they might even be the only high quality ATA RAID products for what it's worth.

I dont think the layout has gotten any worse... it was pretty disorganized to begin with, if you understand the organization it becomes readable.. but not a pleasure. The thing that strikes me is that the color scheme is so obtuse and uncomfortable to read. Tom's Hardware has not changed their...

Shareware trial of Envision publisher... http://anime-jennie.com/EVP.zip I was successfully able to get it to run on winXP (start CMD.exe first, then start the program from the command line) To install, just unzip the files to C:\EVP and run EVP.exe

yes, the DOS version of word never supported WYSIWYG (as far as I can recall).. but there were other programs that were designed for "desktop publishing" that were WYSIWYG. I may still have one on 640k floppy.

Check out this automobile tweak guide... There are sone excelent exhaust tips ;-)

woops.... OMG, I cant believe i just made that mistake... yes I know buy.com is different. I apologize to buy.com for the mistake and hope they hold no animosity against me for that.

OpenOffice is good... infact somtimes better than word... however I have to disagree with AbiWord... I have never found AbiWord to be as compatible as OO.. and it has issues displaying things on the screen as they would print. WYSIWYG is a pretty basic thing in a word processor and has been...

great reply mark. I second checking all screws... sometimes a loose PCI screw or mobo screw/stand-off can be the cause of an anoying vibration. We all know that a sound card and a mobo don't vibrate by themselvs.. but sometimes other components in our computer cause them to... making for a...

Our Price: $50.13 List Price: $79.95 You Save: $29.82 Their list price is a might high... I got mine for less than that (not onsale) over a year and a half ago... who wants to buy from the devil anyway? What are your guys' opinion of the best buy online store/site? My local experiences...

certainly does... It also makes a case for not even bothering with getting an "Ultra" line (an instead getting the FastTrak) if you know your ATAPI drives probably wont work.

Merc... sorry to hear of your problems but you are simply incorrect... I am using moz 1.2.1 on windows and mandrake 9.0 and I have 4 seperate acounts that I use on both computers. Moz supports them fine... perhaps there is a problem in your Moz profile and you need to rebuild it. IMAP...

It is the ULTIMATE guide....

I prefer sweet potato bie to pumpkin.... the taste is nearly indistiguishable to most people, but the color and texture of sweet potato is, IMO, more pleasing.

yes, promise makes the fasttrack (their line of IDE RAID controllers) They also offer the supertrack(I believe this name is reserverd for their 6+ channel raid cards). Their regular IDE/ATA/ATAPI controllers carry the 'Ultra' name. IE: ultra66, ultra100, and ultra133
