Honestly, the only performance improvement that they will really see would be the iRAMs. It would make the user experience significanly better, and make re-imaging much faster.

Interesting. So that means they already know of vulnerabilities that they won't announce until after they EOL it and don't intend to repair?

Anyone try this? I just got invited to the Beta, and I don't even really know what it is. Looks like a funky application of bittorrent, but only to your friends? If anyone wants an invitation, I can get you one. Just PM me.

...or you could just sub the contract to me; I'll give you an $800/machine quote and you can have your margin ;) I would certainly not be doing onboard video; just include some 7900GTs, 4800+ X2, 2x 320GB Seagate, and an iRAM that's maxxed out.

One of the things I'm trying to do is look into software-based WAPs. Another is to see if bridging is possible. This comes on the heels of another project that had similar problems. We were trying to get a PC with 2 wireless cards to log onto a network with one and then re-broadcast on another...

Not entirely sure. But it certainly is. I'm aware of the potential for harm to an individual or even a group, but it's still really funny.

My Latitude D630 is fine as well.

My server has 3 GbE NICs in it at the moment. 2 to different internal networks and one to the router. They are currently all bridged and do a great job. I would like to add a wireless NIC with an external antenna to the mix, but bridging isn't an option. Security would be nice, QOS would be...

Nice...and prohibitively expensive...shame.

I work pretty much every day. The only time I'm not online is when I'm dancing, Sailing, or driving. Come to think of it, that's about 60 hours a week!

I agree with Buck, but when a faster system is needed or wanted: 1. If MB (therefore CPU and RAM) and PSU need to be swapped, an upgrade is silly. 2. If OS is to be updated, an upgrade is probably silly. 3. Don't keep the hard drive from an old system, it will cripple your upgrade. 4. Don't...

I use Artist-Title for my tracks, additional information is included in the ID3 info. If I was smarter, I would use Artist-Album-Track-Title; that way you can have multiple versions of the same song, and play albums in order automatically.

One other thing that helps a lot is to get 4 optical drives (EAC will run multiple instances to multiple drives). My fileserver has 4 BenQ DW1625 DVD-RW drives in it with the latest aftermarket firmware (speeds ripping significantly). I rip to a RAID-0 of raptors and then move them to my storage...

Basically, the less expensive one is better anyway. It is designed to run cooler and consume less power, but it can be run hotter before problems occur. An ideal situation from an overclocker's perspective IMHO.

Though I've never played WOW, I have (as you might imagine) some experience with it. Over 60% of the time logged at the gamecenter is WOW. My original spec machines play quite nicely at 1024x768 with moderate graphics. Their spec is: A64 3000+ 1GB RAM 9800Pro My High-Spec machines lay it very...

No prob ;)

:twistd:

Hostility?! WTF you talkin' 'bout hostility? I should kick your ass!

sechs, Considering how self-centered I am, I have to assume that you were referring to me. I'm David, Doug is the incredibly nice guy that runs these forums. And I do accept your judgement of me and my position. Furthermore as your assumptions are correct, your judgement doesn't matter that...

I had a recent discussion with a friend who has about 9 months left to live (cancer). He's in his 40s, single, and middle-class. He's also the most relaxed and fun person to be around. He cashed in his retirement fund, quit his job, and is having a great time. He realises time is short, but...

I'll second Merc on all, but only WRT: Greg because of the last line. I won't get mad at someone for "going over the line" if it was a legitamate expression of their opinion. If someone is saying something specifically to make a point (exageration, or something more personal) than "lines" need...

That's fine, they aren't illegal. And while I take the point that cops don't like them, and if they know you have one they won't give you break; I've never had any slack anyway.

That and it doesn't hurt much to be wrong.

Actually...yeah, I do. Just as I assume that all the guys hanging around outside home depot are illegal. It's not that it's a universal constant, just true enough of the time to save me the effort of worrying about it.

I don't know, but I don't know for a very good reason. I don't plan on doing anything about it. This isn't about lack of knowledge, if the world continues to exist even approximatly as it does for my lifetime, I would be really suprised. I expect the world to be destroyed more and more at an...

Yup, it is unfortunate. But considering some of the hobbies of our members and our general (rather healthy IMO) perspective, it does seem inevitable. I'm actually suprised it didn't happen sooner.

I'm familiar with laser tech, and fortunatly we don't have them here. They're enough people without such tech that the cops tend to leave their older radar guns on all the time.

Perhaps that was his daughter?

:shrug: Women (and men) are objects. Animate, sentient ones (most), but objects nonetheless. I'd have to assume that Howell doesn't frequent bars much.

Pity, I would have just taken them both...

I've started trading tango songs with some of the other DJs. The easiest way to do it is via USB thumbdrives. I've bought a handful of these and they work incredibly well. As a gift to some of the people I trade with who don't have cd players in their cars, I'd like to give them a device that...

Yup. Been doing that for quite a while. That's why I was hopefull for the AM2 compatability. Considering the talk of 4x4; we know multi-proccessor support is there.

There were a number of phrases he used that I should put on a business card: Perverted Teacher of unnatural sex acts Sex deviant Communist master of deceit :)

This reminds me of the days when RAM was added one chip at a time, consuming a significant percentage of the motherboard.

Will it be a socket AM2 chip? That would be neat.

Carefull Merc, you're providing positive reinforcement to negative behaviors. I may just do it again...

Bigger cache, different socket, and now, apparently faster and more efficient.

A minor request: Change the tabbing order so that the password is the field after the username, with the "remember me?" button after that. (on the main page) TIA

For now we can say "Gigabyte sits on over-sized toilet"....we'll see if they flush.

Where is Tea when you need her?

it was 2x 512MB = 1GB, but that is still pretty light. All mine have 3-3.5GB in them.

It makes them cheaper? Higher arial density = better STR?

I agree with Tony, Merc, and Buck....use the XP SP2 firewall AND have a hardware firewall (Smoothwall, Linksys, etc) between you and your modem. PacBell has started using a DSL modem with router and WAP included for free. I'm not sure how much I trust it's firewall, it's a little too "user...

It's not whether I think so or not, but what they think ;)

Following up on this. I currently use XviD for my encoding, but have plenty of CPU power to throw around (who doesn't these days). What size savings could I expect transcoding to h.264? The files are currently 2GB each (about 720x480 with 6 channel audio) and if I could get a savings of even...

Oh, ok...sorry, can't help you.

Interesting. The system I'm working on has the xPlosion 7.1 in it, which I believe uses the same chip. I'll do some playing and see if I have the same problem. What player/plugin do you use?

I'd argue that the CD is only reading at 100% about 50% of the time during an install. Formatting, device detection, network setup, and user interaction would be the rest. Considering the next 15 minutes or so after the install is complete is me installing drivers, being able to save that time...

I'd assume your car uses the usual materiels? Sheet metal instead of plastic? If so, a body shop is in your future. Glad to hear your car didn't get the whole tree.
