Oh, forgot to mention...tried 3 different batteries.

I mean the BIOS-like configuration page of the 3Ware controller. After creating all the arrays, you press one of the buttons to mark an array as bootable.

Here's a new one for you.... My system failed to POST I reset the BIOS and restarted POSTs on restart, prompts for BIOS values If I go into the BIOS at all, exiting will cause the system to fail to POST If I "continue with default settings" I can get into the system, but a restart will cause...

HTML/large fonts....before it was scoring 50+, I can live with a score of <7, that will survive most filters.

I agree with Merc about having a domain not being necessary for most small businesses. One of my clients just grew to ~125 office employees and just got their first (and second) DC to compliment their exchange server. My home server has been happily running off a EPIA-M motherboard w/1Ghz CPU...

Land of the living....is that what you call it.... Although I really appreciate the offer, i, I'm a purely Windows shop (except for the smoothwall, of course). I sent the latest one out yesterday from one account to another of my accounts in another domain, with 300 people in the BCC field...

Yup, this shouldn't be a problem. I've done very similar things in the past. My main office computer has a 8506-4LP running a 2-drive RAID-1 and a 2-drive RAID-0; I boot to the RAID-0 of course... In the 3Ware configuration pagr you cam mark which array it should boot to. Also be carefull what...

None of my nForce-based systems have had this issue either; but I've phased out most of them already so I can't say for sure. I also only use the analog outs, so if it only affects the digital out I wouldn't know. All the boards are ASUS A7N8X-whatever (E/X/Deluxe/etc)

Perhaps I'm being a bit optimistic, but I'd love a windows-based app that could handle it. I just installed spamassasin on my exchange machine, so I can test my trials on myself. The message is massively formatted HTML.

So in my new favorite PC (a quiet one for my bedroom) I currently have a 1st gen WD360GD "Raptor" hard drive. The chasis is an Antec P160 all-aluminiun with aluminium drive rails and locates them right near the front large vent opening. However, there are no case fans in this chassis at all; and...

An interesting note on my DTR chips. I just built my new, very quiet, bedroom pc. I used what was supposed to be a 2700+ DTR chip @ 1.2v native. When I right-click on my computer and choose properties; the bottom section of the test displays as follows (I have a screenshot, but nowhere to host...

According to a thread linked to by a member here, the only heatsink able to manage the lower height of the mobile CPUs (no heat spreader) is the Thermaltake SLK-948U. I've had really good experiences with them in conjunction with Panaflo "L" fans on the 92mm size @ 5v. It still runs at under 100F.

And in order to flash the BIOS, that means you must also have a non-sempron CPU available to do the flashing, correct?

Depends on if you are running software-based RAID-50 arrays or not...

No! Tea! Really! I started this thread as a cool place to dump random musings and the occasional cool bit of information! It worked well in this regard well until -very- recently. I hope to get it back on course (or rather, back off course) once I have more random stuff to stick here.

I have a list of people who have expresly requested to recieve our newsletter; but if I try to send the letter everyone via Outlook (putting everyone in the to, cc, or bcc fields), half the people don't recieve it as it is marked as spam. What I need is an easy way to send it where it appears...

Even if there were a need for >80MB/sec transfer rates; I assume you're using a 32/33 PCI bus? You wouldn't gain much regardless. There must be a better place to stick that money...

No, Merc, I'm not denying the allegations; just saying that if you want me to go along with it, group sex and drug use have to be OK.

Personally I'm looking for a replacement for my Raptor. Capacity is irrelevant (over 6GB); but speed, silenece and low-heat are my biggest factors.

http://www.sidetalkin.com/Images-Girl/sidetalking-holland.jpg I've heard of being open-minded, but damn....(slightly off-color)

Oh, and Merc...you need to remove the group sex line from the above post...or I ain't buying....

I found a really cool song, but I can't get any info on it or it's author or the preformer...has anyone here heard of "Jack Dark: Space Assasain"? Google returns nothing. Unfortunatly, I have no place to host it; I think a number of you would really enjoy it.

Heh, it's 72 degrees here as well. Of course, it is several hours earlier and with 20% less humidity...

MSI K8T Neo FSRs, of course :P I love these things. They work perfectly with the latest BIOS. Autodetects everything.

OK, I bought all that. I also bought this really neat bridge; it's made of brick and is on the east coast, but once I figure out how to make a lawn sculpture out of it...

Although you do have to be wary of the "Extra Virgin" title, as it is misrepresented fairly often. Frequently these aircraft will have been taken out of the hangar in the past for "test flights" or "private charters", then put back in the hangar and marketed as "Extra Virgin".

I'm currently in love with the DTR chips. With the 35W 2700+ (1.6Ghz w/512k @ 1.2v) going for $169 I will never build another 32-bit system. I don't do buget PCs anymore, as there is no margin. Every office/HTPC gets one of these beauties, and everyone else gets the 3400+ or FX-53. All my...

;)

WRT "Big Chow": only with my AMEX business (great fraud protection). WRT Power Connectors: IIRC that plug is half of the old "AT" power connector, later used as an AUX connector.

Yup. PSTs are evil, evil things. I try to avoid them at all costs. They are inevitable, as some secretary will have 3GB of mail that she "can't lose for legal reasons" or some such BS. My PST is backed up on 3 continents - losing it would be a bad thing.

sent ;)

I also have an invite....anyone?

We went with Mushkin Blue PC-3200 and Athlon64 3000+ retails. I have tested these boards with 3 of these DIMMs (1.5GB total) and had to put the CAS @ the stock 2.5 to be stable. With only a single DIMM 2.0 was very possible. I ran a 3200+ for a while on mine without issue.

User opposition to having to learn new stuff for no good reason? Go figure.

As soon as we switch administrative client software. The current app kills all processes that attempt to run in the background.

I can reccomend chewing on your own foot...it does wonders for me.

Seconding what everyone said...don't do it, you won't like the results. If you are as anal-retentive as me and NEED a "C" drive, remove the other drives and re-install.

Damn, sorry for the typos....severly PUI :mrgrn:

Well, my 30+ AMD 64 3000+ and 30+ MSI K8T Neo FSR motherboards are working beautifully. I love these boards, their driver update app and ability to flash the BIOS from Windows are happy things for me. Not to mention flawless support for the low-power "mobile" (or "desktop replacement") chips...

I think the most boring thing about baseball is that 90% of the time, 90% of the players on the field aren't moving. If you were to put just one sniper in the bleachers somewhere, that could liven things up a bit.

Sorry if I've been ignoring anything of late here or anywhere else. Just got back from another week in Oregon; planning to spend a week up there every 2 weeks. Between this, my new company, and my consulting business, I should be posting far more experiences in the no sleep thread. Spent 4 days...

The coast starlight is a beautiful train, I've taken it many times. Even the fact that it only runs once a day isn't that big an issue. However, the fact that it has been (with me on it) over 8 hours late for a [b]4 hour trip[b]. I've heard of it being over 12 hours late.

My craziest was SFO-Denver-DFW-Houston-Austin. Progressively shorter legs, spiraling into my desination. Though this one is pretty stupid...

Yup, nevermind, XP caused exactly zero issues on all my machines. My DynDNS client was the culprit after all. I don't run antivirus software either, and a simple checkbox removed the warning after the first occurance.

Leaving tomorrow for Portland again. But this time I'm flying. Due to the late purchase time of my tickets and the lack of funds a long-distance relationship leads to, I'll be flying out of San Jose to Portland via Los Angeles with a 3-hour stopover. This makes a 1.5 hour flight take 7...

LOL, but I have been sleeping about 14 hours a day the last 2 nights. I usually get 4-5 a night and operate well.

I gave it to a new customer plain and simple the other day. They have a T-1, but he still had AOL installed on his machine and used that to "get on the web" as he was familiar with the process. When I built him his new $2500 PC, compete with Office 2003 and Firefox, he asked "why didn't you...

No, Merc....I heard of the olympics...I think it started a few days ago. How do I know? Haven't watched any of it. I used to enjoy it, particularly the winter ones, as I live in a place without snow.

About to go to bed...so here's the current tally.... 65 hours without any rest at all; no laying down, very little sitting down besides a few hours of driving. About 7 hours of sleep in the last 7 days. This includes a series of 30-minute naps 4 days ago. Being marginally manic has it's...

@5k, IIRC.
