The mobo has a specific problem attributed to it. It has leaky capacitors.. I was hoping that it might last another year, but it did not. I hope the PSU didn't die, but I know that is a possibiility.

really? I've seen the 100base-T model and it's somewhere about $200-$300 US when new. the largest items i print are fullscreen pictures, which only take up a few MB I believe. So for my needs 10baseT fits the bill. :o

At 9:52am CST my trusty Abit KA7 passsed away. Not only did its soul pass, but it took the entire circuit down with it. The blown circuit caused all my computers to go down at once. I guess you could say it went out with a bang. We salute you our ol' slotted A friend.

and pretty much everything Mercutio said I agree with. Yes, it isn't necessary if you have a dedicated computer, but it is a nice toy.

Well, I've found that on some computers windows shares(and printer shares) take a long time to load.... upto 45 seconds. So if you try printing you have to wait 45 seconds for the properties window to come up to print. (yes I have tried the win2k fix but it didn't work...seems to be a user...

Yes, but the print server is small, much more reliable than a computer(uptimes that will last serveral months if not years), and is faster(faster than my windows based print server)... You can also locate it just about anywhere (where as a computer requires more space and more electrical...

what is the approximate shipping from US to Oz?

well, I finally got it working... yet another miracle here's my .htaccess file that works AuthUserFile /home/music/public_html/test AuthName "Music" AuthType Basic <limit GET> require user music </limit> and I should thank Ihsan for giving me this bit to add to my httpd.conf file #...

just wondered why no one seemed interested

what do you guys think of my use of my internet connection? would you call it typical? excessive? abusive?

is there an option to do preformatted text? without using the code tag? code tag: Drive max STR min STR wd1200bb 54000 32000 120gxp 60000 40000 spinpoint 3000 2000 plain: Drive max STR min STR wd1200bb 54000...

hello again. I am trying to setup authentication for my now working web server. >8- ) I have been lead to believe that using .htaccess files will be the easiest way to setup user/pass for sharing certain directories. so, this is the route I've taken so far. I have setup an .htaccess file in...

you guys rock!

sorry, if it were a few speed steps lower Id get it to upgrade my pII. however all indications are that even with a slotket conveerter I can only attain 800mHz. A friend of mine will probably lend me his pIII for testing in a few weeks anyway...

Hey guys, I'm doing a project for school and I would like permission to use some of the info forum members have posted. Part of the project includes a manual/guide on how to properly care for hdd's. I'm not sure what I will be using yet, as I have just started brainstorming. But I expect I...

woohoo... got it working... used RPM drake to uninstall /reinstall mozilla... (deleting the .mozilla folder in my home directory did nothing to solve the problem)

Can somebody help me out witha problem on mozilla... Im using mandrake linux and fo some reason my mozilla stopped posting on forms. Ex: I cant login to this site because the login button doesn't work I can't search in google becasue the search button doesn't work etc. etc. If I click on...

I was searching on google but all i could find were things that monitored downtime more than up time (ex: 99.99% uptime kind of things) and all I wanted was a simple screen that told me how long it was since last booting. thanks! -Blake

I was just wondering how to see my uptime in linux, specifically mandrake. can someone help me?

i have a 440bx board with a LS120 in it (connects to IDE, made by Mitsubishi) ... makes boot floppies fine in win98se and winME using the GUI's. Mine acts just like a floppy drive, never installed drivers for it... I don't know why yours aren't....

I picked this item up at a garage sale. I used it for approx 1 month but now have no use for it. It will hook up virtually any parallel printer (spp, epp and ecp) to your ethernet network (print server operates at 10baseT). Item is in perfect condition, comes in original packaging w/ AC->DC...

nope, sorry... I put it up on the for sale/trade forum because I think I will probably never use it.

just change your link's target.... start-> run -> iexplore.exe http://www.mystartpage.com start-> run -> iexplore.exe c:\localstartpage.htm

this is one thing that I think everybody hates about WD... that and they use the 1000 x 1000 x 1000 convention for figuring GB.

I purchased this RAM from crucial.com for a new computer, however the motherboard manual was incorrect and the RAM won't actually work in this mobo. The memory was never used, but has been taken out of the static bag. has been stored in static bag in original crucial packaging. Specs: DDR...

i noticed after XP sp1 my IE 6 loads like a dog... even slower than mozilla.... used to take 1 sec to load and show my home page.. now it takes like 6

What do you guys think of Soyo products? I bought a dragon plus and have been pleased with it's performance and stability... One thing that bugs me is that their printed manual said that it supported bank by bank ECC... turns out this is false and I now have a 256MB stick of samsung PC 2100...

What are the differences in your boot times? have you tested? I ran the bootVis tool and it took like 1/4th off my time. I think my boot time is around 49secs now after I got all my crap(drivers, software, etc) installed. ...Now if only I could make my RAID card BIOS go faster..

I wouldn't doubt if the memory clocks are slightly different between some 64 and 128 cards of the same chipset. I wonder how the vid card's cache is adjusted(if at all) for the extra RAM.... Steve: I think that's pretty common for the computer's I've seen to stutter a couple times at the...

hey you know there is a product called phoenix, it's based of a latter version of mozilla, but it is just the browser part... it loads about 1/2 the time mozilla loads in... phoenix 0.3 http://www.mozilla.org/projects/phoenix/phoenix-release-notes.html

I dunno about that, i've had some really sucky Heat sinks before... try a cyrix or a radio shack heat sink... Does anybody miss the old 486 heat sinks that actually clipped onto the processor and not the motherboard/socket? those things were easy to upgrade

ok, i finally got indexing to work on user directories.... I'll save any more questions for another post thx for your help guys

here's how apache does it... http://www.awtrey.com/files/

Apache calls the specific thing im trying to do "directory indexing" but in IIS it's called "directory browsing"

Actually, What I think I need is a good guide to setting up apache. Not neccessarily installing, but more about how to setup your server, tips & tricks, etc. Does anyone know of any good guides they can recomend... I'm a noob.. and I find messing with the config file a bit cumbersome...

hey, can somebody give me a hand here.. im a linux noob.. >8- ) ...and Im setting up an apache web server via webmin. I'm trying to get directory browsing to work, but I keep getting forbidden errors. I have checked the permissions for the related folder and files and everything seems to be...

You know it comes with different skinz.. and you can download hundreds more. It has a nice built in interface for doing it also.. just click on the link to the skin and it installs. More recent version of mozilla on windows require you to restart mozilla for the skin change to take effect. Moz...

god I hate whiney TV's... my gf is even worse(or is that better?).. she can tell if her TV is on even when she's outside her house... and the TV is muted... i can't hear hers, but i have a small TV that whines like crazy.

sorry to dig this up, but if it;s of interest, using smart drive (i believe that's what it was called) will act as a great disk cache and will leterally speed things up double for random read/writes in DOS (just my observation) just load it in your config.sys I believe

oh.. forgot to add taxes (ouch) add $8 to that price on the 1200bb.. The 1000JB should have cost me $132 after shipping but return shipping x 2 added $9 bucks out of pocket.... atleast it went to FedEx and not UPS.

hehe... i returned the drive today for a refund... and went to my local tech shop where I promptly bought a 1200BB for less ($120 US) It was manufactured in July so it uses the 40gb platters but that is of no worry to me, it's a large drive used for backup/mp3/dvd storage...

Mercucio... SIS is a big name... however, i have heard that VIA resorts to Intel like tactics and makes Mobo manufacturers sign contrancts that they will only sell VIA chipsets, etc... if they want low cost VIA chipsets... OK, onto the suggestsions... I found a great little toy from...

the system is a bit more like OE in that respect... you have individual mail accounts.. each of which can have their own incoming and outgoing server, user, pass, mail format, etc. so, yes.. it handles both multiple smtp and POP accounts as well as the multiple IMAP accounts supported in...

haha.. the drive is 2 days old... you want to know what it was packaged like? well, i wanted your opinion 1st.. but here is a preview http://www.anime-jennie.com/hdd/ups.htm even in this small box(made smaller by UPS)... there was still not enough bubblewrap/foam peanuts to keep the drive...

Hey all, I have recently purchased a wd100JB from an online retailer(mwave). The drive was DOA and subsequently exchanged for another one. The new drive makes noises that are consistant with the noises heard when a drive is first turned on, goes into standby, or is turned off. (I assume this...

ouch... $18 bucks before shipping is a bit high.. I'll stick to the 50 pack of taiyo yuden for $12(k-mart/best buy special) or the 50 pack Verbatim super AZO for under $20 locally

I run my own mail server... but then I also host my own www server too. server runs off my 384kbit/sec cable service(dynamic IP) it's a 66mHz 486 running www(IIS), SMTP(Mdaemon), POP3(Mdaemon), IMAP(mdaemon), and webmail server(World client) I get something like 3000 http requests per day on...
