    Abit KT7-RAID Socket A Motherboard

    from the picture it looks like the KT7 might suffer from the same problems as my Abit KA7 did(the two were manufactured at the same time probably using the same components). the leaky capacitor problem that is... I would check the top and bottoms of those capacitors for black "char"

    I'm peeved, why does this still happen.

    Do any of you guys actually think businesses don't hire people that are overqulified? Sometimes it really seems this is the case, but I find it hard to believe. I can understand not hiring a person if you think they just want temprary work while they look for a real job. However, if the...

    I'm peeved, why does this still happen.

    I've had that happen several times.... I just can't help myself.. those best buy boys are asking for it. I have over 2 years experience working with computers as a job but can't find a decent part time job around here that pays well or has any benefits. I interviewd with a place on campus...

    Radeon AIW8500DV & MPEG-2 Files

    hmm... not listed? oh wait... hehe.. now that I'm at home I can check my computer and see..... and see.... that I don't have MPEG1 or 2 listed either.... maybe these things are decoded by the programs themselves? I guess the next best place to look on removing an mpeg2 codec you isntalled...

    Awhile back I was interested in a job at a local computer service/repair and retail shop.

    Are there SIMM stackers for 168-pin SDRAM?

    I 2nd that.. never seen it for a DIMM... You probably wouldn't want one anyway. Increasing the length of the trace between the mobo and the memory modules on SDRAM is a big no no. Since all memory needs to be accessed in paralell, and at a fairly high rate with little room for error, a DIMM...

    quick way to run a command on boot (mandrake 9)

    maybe I should mention that I need to run the command as root, and it should only be run once every boot. I thought about CRON, but it seems to be more suited for "per user" tasks and tasks on a schedule... What I need is probably more like a script that loads on boot... is this something...

    if the motherboard is on a tray that slides or swings out, dont forget to remove ISA/PCI/AGP devices as they are connected to the mobo and screwed into the case.. there is no sliding the mobo when these things are in place.

    I have 2 in continuous operation for over 2 years... im running them in RAID 0 >8- ) I'm sure they'll die, but when they do a 15gig 3+ year old drive won't be worth a whole lot and it will be time to upgrade my main box anyway.
