Maybe this?

Microsoft Flight Simulator X uses more than 2GB of RAM under Vista. I've never seen it use more than 1.6GB under XP though. Many other games must blow 2GB of used RAM under Vista.

This chip is based on the old Core 2 Quad architecture, not the new i7 one. It will yield significantly to a similarly-priced Xeon X55xx chip. I knew about the great price of the Z8NA-D6 and that's why I brought it here. Instead of using two X5580, I would have chosen two X5540. Their price...

Why didn't you build something on top of that motherboard? Add two X5500 series Xeon and you would have had eight i7 cores at your service for not much more money than what you've spent already. This board accepts unbufferred memory up to 24GB, so RAM wouldn't have been a problem.

The Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla wer respectively the 6th and 5th most sold vehicles in the U.S. last year. Both have been top rated by the IIHS for their 2009 models (those who were sold during the second part of last year). Both offer better than 30 miles per gallon. People in the U.S...

Please, no free pills distributor here. We already have at least two members with suicidal tendencies so we could wake up one morning with a corpse.

Normal 3.5" SATA drives eat less than 20W. Green drives are consuming between 8W and 12W. Laptop drive (mecanical) use less than 5W. Greg's drives (scuzzies) can climb up to almost 30W. Or at least they used to. That's all from my memory and mostly came from old SR's database.

For gaming, Phenom II X3 usually beat similarly priced Intel Core 2 Duo. They also dissipate a few more watts, but since the Radeon HD 4770 is very reasonnable in that regard, any modern PSU would be enough to power up such system. Not that what you assembled is bad. I'm simply telling you it...

Are you serious? I've configured FreeNAS on a 1.7GHz Celeron and it was fine. You don't need processing power for a NAS. Most commercial solutions use embedded chips like AMD Geode and such (way slower than even an Atom).

Tried it, works well. Simple to setup and to use. Unbeatable price.

No matter what, that's a nice feature of the new server.

Newegg has it.

The best low-to-mid-range NAS I know are made by Synology. Their latest two drives model has been reviewed by X-bit Labs and they liked it a lot. They also sell a 4 drives models (DS409+) that should do everything you want. The network speed is very good too.

M.I.T. There's your reason.

An Atom, even a dual core one, is sluggish. IMO, you would be better with an Athlon X2 7750 or a Pentium Dual Core E5200, the two current best values in the low-end segment (at least here). I'm sure there are mini-iTX motherboards with an AM2+ or LGA775 socket.

I'm mostly interested in FreeBSD because of the security level it provides. OpenBSD is supposed to be the least hackable OS, but FreeBSD should inherit most of the security benefits OpenBSD has. I have no proof for this position, just simple assosciation logic. FreeBSD should have many more...

FreeBSD 7.2 was released on the 4th of this month. I downloaded it and planned to share the torrent for a while. After I finished downloading the DVD and three CDs (for older systems), I let it run for a while. A few minutes ago, I noticed that I was only uploading at 3Kbps on each torrent...

Didn't we use phpBB prior to vBulletin here?

I don't like the images that come to my mind when I read this word...

During the last hacker congress (which I forgot the name), several among them pointed out that Chrome was by far the hardest to hack due to its design. It installs in the user's profile, not in program files, so it isn't granted a high-enough priority level to compromise the system. That...

But it should be enough for a Core i7 920 with a Radeon HD 4830. It better be because that's what I offered to my customer.

I'm sure you did, but I don't feel like browsing through you 11484 posts to find where. So in your opinion, the Rampage II GENE should fit? Great. Something I don't get with this case though : the power supply has more connectors than the one inside the NSK4480B (2 additional SATA...

For #1, the Antec MX-1 is supposed to be pretty good. I read good reviews about it, but I've never had the opportunity to try one myself.

As a matter of fact, I do. Why should I need it?

I remember Mercutio bitching against the lack of space within the Antec NSK3480 enclosure. According to the specifications, it should accomodate a motherboard up to 9.6" by 9.6", which is exactly the size of an Asus Rampage II GENE motherboard (smallest Core i7 motherboard available). So...

Squirrels and pigeons at the park have better system immunities than humans...

Please don't PUI. Those graphs clearly show the HD 4830 defeating the 9800GT by a good margin in high resolution in every single game. Pradeep must have busted his forehead open on the corner of his desk when he read that and your post. In almost no circumstance will a 9800GT match an HD 4870...

There used to be a web site with links to code generators/hacks/activators that was named by a phrase popularized in Terminator 2...

Well, more than two years have past and Ford is still there. Explain to me how a company bleeding money could have slashed its debt from 26 bilion to 16 bilion in such a short time frame?

Keep them coming. Most of you P&B posts are a great motivation for me in the gym ; every time I push a weight, I dream it's your face on a wall. I appreciate your contribution in the other sections of the forum though.

WSVGA : 1024x600 Reference 1240x600 would almost be 21:10 ratio. To my knowledge, no screen (single panel, not dual/triple panels) has a ratio beyond 16:9. What would be the point anyway?

Depends what you ate before. Sometimes, a more deserved name would be "firestorm" or "hurricane". How's digestion in low gravity? Why did that guy wanted his name on the toilet? Does he like to be shitted on?

PhuK! I have a Linksys WRT54G2 with the DD-WRT firmware. I'll have to check if it is vulnerable but I bet it is. Last time I checked, no Tomato firmware was available for my router. Thanks for sharing the information.

I can already see the difference. Each frame of the same unit (Project 5904, Run 4, Clone 39, Gen 4 - using FAH Core 14) took almost 6 minutes with the 180.?? driver I used and they now take less than 4 minutes. I expect my output to increase by at least 50%, if not more.

Strange...English isn't my mother tongue but I felt I catched it all the first time I watched it.

One can now use the MSI 790FX-GD70 with a Phenom II X4 or the AsRock X58 SuperComputer with a Core i7 and populate all four PCI-E slots with GeForce GTX 295 as well.

Thanks, I'll try them and report on my results, although it will be very clear to anyone following this link : http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=58673 I'm folding on the same old GeForce 8800GT since April last year (maybe I started folding on the GeForce in August...

It certainly isn't legal here, but like probably everywhere else, it does exist. Instead of prostitutes, they call them escortes. It isn't controlled by the government. Strippers clubs are mostly controlled by bikers while escortes are more often than not operated by street gangs. Or so I've...

Of course you can. It is capable of using two DIMMs in dual channel, but it is in no way required to. The Radeon HD 4670 is acceptable, but a good 20% slower than the GeForce 9600GT. The HD 4830 is much faster (but consumes easily twice as much power).

The Seasonic 380W Mercutio is talking about is a different power supply than the 350ET I worked with. The 380W is part of the S12 or S12-II brand, while the ET is a lower end brand. The cable length is different (the ET being shorter). I'm eager to post an "I told you so" reply to this thread...

The Pentium Dual Core E5200 is the best value in its price range, but I would take a Phenom II X3 710 over the Core 2 Duo E7500. The MSI K9N2GM-FD accepts it and has better integrated graphics and a better VRM design to feed the CPU. Are you sure the 24 pins ATX connector of the Seasonic 400ET...

Ok, I've checked and the 370Z is lighter and it has more hp than the Evo. It has less torque though. I would still take the Evo for the all-wheel drive. So that you can go to the race track even in winter...

How much is a Mitsubishi Evo? It might not beat the GT-R, but it's more than a match for the 370Z. And it has an excellent all-wheel drive system.

I read the same thing in the local business news. IMO, Rick Wagoner should have been fired at least five years ago. Him and most of their administration consil. They obviously didn't make the job for the last several years. I also read that GM lost over 82 billion during the last 3 fiscal...

Nice but unusable. The driving wheel is on the wrong side of the cart.

He paid cash. Cold weather? Aren't you in California? Is there such a thing as cold weather in California?

You only like to communicate with people online? I'm sure you'd like to chat with me in person. Since I don't speak English, I would have to write messages on cardboards like Will E. Coyote. You would find it very entertaining.

Eugene and Davin were the maintainers of SR, not SF.

A 350W power supply would be more than enough for that system, assuming there's one with an EPS 8pin connector. One like the Cooler Master RealPower Pro 360 would be a lot better than the 650W Corsair unit you're eyeing. The MSI X58 Pro is cheaper than the GigaByte and I'm sure it would ok for...

The Subaru Forestre is now available in PZEV configuration, so there's no redneck assosciation while driving it. The Legacy and Outback are available in PZEV too. Have you thought about the new Ford Fusion Hybrid. Car reviewers here are all amazed by its fuel economy and the road handling is...
