Actually, I *do* remember. In fact, I 'learned' it way before any school physics class. :P Yep. As you said, "P=IV". My interpretation of this is that P (power) will increase with I (current) - strangely enough ... You've been reading too much Anandtech. Because Intel was using fewer but...

Gigabyte GA-7S748 is based on SiS 748/963L, but features no SATA ports.

<bump> I've been through everything available, and I'd still like to use Gigabyte, but I'm very concerned that they chose to omit the ATX12V connector in the 7VT600. Combined with only two-phase power (when their nForce and many other Athlon boards use three-phase), it doesn't inspire...

Sorry, no idea why you're getting this. The real villain here is Mozilla, which rather than respect the global Windows settings, demands its own. :P Opera, on the other hand, plays nice: if you want faster scrolling, just change your Windows scroll increment to '6 lines' rather than the...

The saga continues ... I guess it is a problem for the inexperienced Windows user. :lol: Most of the alternative skins change the client window icons to be clearly different from the MDI parent window's. At the end of the day, you need to complain to Microsoft - it's their API, i.e. native...

It splits the files similar to RAID 0, i.e. after completing a track on surface 1, it switches heads to surface 2. This is called a cylinder. :)

Nice theory, shame about the facts. :) A higher internal resistance would actually reduce the power the caps have to handle. In any case, this is just one low-level aspect of how the capacitor achieves its claimed rating. Well, I don't subscribe to the conspiracy theory. In fact, I believe the...

I confess I have no idea what you're talking about with the Stop button, Merc. On the main speedbar, it alternates between Reload and Stop; it shows as Stop (on my current skin a big red 'X') while a page is loading and changes to Reload when it has finished. You can also press [F5] to reload...

This is an epidemic. I wonder how many people have these caps?

Merc, a couple of tips that might improve your (brief) experience: Under: {Preferences} - {History and cache}, set 'Check images' and 'Check other' to 'Never'. The Quick Preferences menu is best accessed by pressing [F12]. Apart from adjusting popup suppression and toggling plug-in operation...

MySQL is only competitive with single table queries - which rarely happen in real life. There's an awful lot of BS floating around about MySQL, much of it initiated by MySQL AB. Basically, it's ideal as a back end for a web server ... and that's about it. It is slow at any sort of realistic...

In other words, they have a good business model. :)

In any case, we're talking probably 10-20GB. That's a lot of CD's. :)

I don't understand why people use the poxy thing. We've got Oracle here managing a 4GB database and using about 200MB of RAM. And it's fast. :-?

Hey, don't look at me - it's not my server! I had been pushing for that, but doubts have been raised over what would happen in a restore given the software is split over two drives. However, it's still something that I'm determined to make happen after this is cleared up. Don't forget it's...

Exactly, and Madonna is not a group. :)

Thanks Tony. May I take this opportunity to ask you to comment on either the Epox capacitor or replacement thread? I'm at the point of considering Asus ... There are 'technical difficulties' with replacing either all the hardware or all the software. Firstly, there are three hard drives (two...

Last time I tried, you could upgrade Netscrape 6/7 to Mozilla by merely installing over the top. I'd probably simulate it offsite first, however, because there's been a lot of water under the bridge.

Okay, I'm thinking of spending more. How about the Gigabyte 7N400-L1? Its main drawback appears to be a lack of SATA, but it does feature 3-phase power. Alternatively, there's the 7VT600 1394. It has SATA and Firewire (which I don't need in this case) and a stupid northbridge fan (all of which...

Impressive, Bill. You'd really want to stick with the Firewire interface on that baby. What's your application?

Does anyone know if the OEM equivalent, Pioneer 106, would need different firmware?

Nothing of interest, Fushigi. :( Actually, we were wondering if there was some way to increase the verbosity of the logging, or add a third party logging tool that records more events? Blakerwry, it's only been deployed for about two years (I think). And I've just realized I may have...

BTW, I need at least three. They're to replace blown ones. :( I'd normally buy HEC, but I thought it might be useful to grab a couple of quiet units (HEC is not quiet, although not noisy either). I can rotate two of the power supplies I have here. I'm fed up with lesser brands. They just...

:P

Thanks Merc, that's worth a shot. I have a somewhat feeble theory for the unexpected power down: When rebooted, some PCs slow or stop their fans momentarily (don't they?). And Asus likes to apply speed control through their motherboards. What if the CPU fan stalled at the 11:20pm reboot? The...

Oops, forgot: while looking at the scripts, we checked the syntax of the Windows Shutdown command with 'shutdown /?'. It displayed the help for the Call command! :o As a test, we tried to use the command to shutdown a remote PC. It displayed a lot of crap relating to the Java server, but that...

We have a co-located server that has had a few issues: Because of software problems (memory leak), it is set to reboot every night. Two to three weeks ago, it crashed about 9:00am (after customers had been using it for one to two hours). I think this was because a password change meant that the...

I'm sort of with Merc on this one (i.e. Rolling Stones most talentless group to ever achieve superstardom). More specifically, I like many things they did when Brian Jones was alive, and precious little when he was dead. I have a soft spot for Keefe, though. For example, I have a John Lee...

That's because it is! 29 litres of big and bulky. The SST-LC02, on the other hand, displaces a mere 11 litres. 8) But let's face it, half-height cards were invented by the devil (Dell?). I actually bought a couple of these cases. They're great (YY-A105 with USB & front audio), but supply...

Thanks for that SteveC. After Merc waxed lyrical, I downloaded it immediately, and now Doug has confirmed that with a review. Eggcellent heads-up! :flower:

:scratch: :poke: :bigeek:

I just checked, and the 400W is just over double the price of the 300W! How much better did you say they were again? :(

Hmmm, mine wasn't. That is, it was a CD distribution and I didn't bother buying the patch CD or downloading any updates.

Does anyone have an opinion on Zalman power supplies? In Oz they're currently cheaper than Antec TruePower (I'm looking for something quiet, yet reliable).

It's puzzling that we had such disparate experiences. It's almostv as if PnP was broken on you motherboard. Maybe the hardware I used is just more mainstream? Is your 3Com chip on the motherboard?

Neither am I. In fact, in the past I would have regarded it as a step down. However, the boards are relatively new and, as near as I can tell, likely to be free of the Curse of the Capacitor. The Epox boards were pretty good otherwise though ... :-?

If you have noticed the thread in the Tech Support forum, I have to replace at least three Epox 8KHA+ motherboards with bad capacitors. The boards are just over two years old and the distributor has told me "no dice" with warranties. They have offered me replacement boards for a bit over US$35...

You probably know more about this than I do, but ... Do you know enough about XF86config to achieve what you were trying to do? If you edited the file directly, you're talking about an XFree problem, not Suse hardware detection. All the bindings in the config file have to match up and make...

I just finished three server deployments with Suse 9.0, as well as one trial deployment. It recognized every piece of hardware: Via Apollo Pro, KT133A, KT266A, KT333 motherboard chipsets Realtek 8029, integrated Realtek something else, Davicom NICs Assorted sound chipsets to match :-? nVidia...

True enough, Merc. I don't even try to repair the more expensive units these days, either. I just can't see how it's worth the time and hassle. Blake, speaker drivers don't contribute noise. It has to be the amp - or more accurately preamp - stage. Unfortunately, I can't think of anything you...

If it's happening at any volume level, I'd have to say the speakers are defective. Usually, the amplifiers will be organized as two per IC (fairly confident this is the approach based on the advertised power level). Logically then, the two 'surround' speakers will share the same - presumably...

Run REGEDIT or REGEDT32. Select the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\DHCP key. Edit the DependOnService value (double-click). Click on the right hand side of the dialog box where it shows the alphanumeric equivalent of the binary data. Delete any reference to "SYMTDI" or...

Coug, I tried a flash comparison like yours, but my results were 28 seconds CPU time for Firebird and 30 for Opera. I notice that just sitting on the flash site I used with nothing happening, Firebird is averaging 27% utilization on this Athlon 2400! I suspect that Flash CPU usage can sometimes...

For Opera, just add NPSWF32.dll to the plugin-ignore.ini file. Yes, it *is* that simple. If you want to be able to run with or without, you could create a batch file - linked by two different shortcuts - that copies one of two different versions of the ini file. eg: rem Opera.bat if '%1'==''...

Bookmark aliases were around at least as early as Opera 3.5, which debuted in July 1998, about the time the Mozilla project started. Mozilla RC12 didn't emerge until mid 2002 (or thereabouts). Again, you don't understand the feature. You can load all images with Ctrl-G (just like the old...

This from someone who sets fire to their money buying cigarettes? :salut: Ever since Write made the word processor market "free", buying one is as silly as ... Ever since Napster made the music market "free", buying a CD is as silly as ... Ever since television made the movie market "free"...

That would be the bit about you being 41? They also put the death rate from the most common form of Smallpox at 30%. So I guess it must have been a different sort of pox that you had, jtr.

As e_dawg points out, this is an MDI (Multiple Document Interface) application, which has been a standard part of Windows since at least version 3. It makes it easier for a user to manage their desktop environment when a single app opens several client windows. Tabbed browsing is just a new...

Well, I just confirmed my third board today. All just outside the two-year warranty. :evil: Fortunately, a different Epox model I supplied to this customer at the same time looks just fine. From what I've read, nearly *all* brands were affected by this malaise, but it's impossible to be...

MYOB uses the same approach, i.e. ZIP. You would be amazed at how many of these products force the user to restore from backup after the slightest glitch. :evil:
