it's been confirmed by the overclocking crowd that it does work for heat reduction via removal and tests. many people now remove the ihs, apply thermal glue, and place it back on because they're dissatisfied with the default material they use to connect it.

and i commend you for that. sending mail from a random location using your own mailserver is an uncommon need, that's where my only question was stemming. if it actually matters you can do webmail, ssh forwarding, smtp auth, etc. if the server you're using somewhere else doesn't allow mail...

5 benchmarks are games, and 5 benchmarks are specview 3d. should i claim the p4 is better by testing 680 different encoding apps and listing them? one only needs a large enough sampling on a category to claim superiority, and for my MONEY, the category is all that matters. p4 won more (and...

because ihs cpus run cooler and don't easily chip the cores.

pull off the integrated heat spreader on a p4 and you'll see a core just as small as the athlon. this a bad omission by amd. and the motherboards weren't required to read the temp off an internal diode instead of a thermistor? i'm not buying that, and nobody implemented the diode reading...

i was using that article because it was the first athlon 333 review, and we were mostly talking about the low end intel is winning in business & content creation, media encoding, archiving, and 3d rendering. amd wins in gaming, workstation 3d, and science. where is the slightly more?

with a lower ambient temp my retail 1900+ at work runs 5-7c hotter than my overclocked northwood 1.8a/400 (running at 2.4/533). both use retail hsfs, and the p4 fan is quieter as well. i had to manually apply thermal grease on all of the 1.4 tbirds we use to keep them from crashing overnight...

http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1718&p=3#Willamette shows different thermal output than you quoted as well

(same font/graph/etc they used when they said the k6-2 300 was as fast as a pii-400...) anyway, yes, amd chips use less power than intel. they are also much hotter across the board, and lack the anti-destruction mechanism the p4s have from overheating...

it was definitely sourced from there. it's their graph/font/etc

you can use ssh port forwarding with putty to send mail using your mailserver remotely. just forward tcp port 25 on your server to localhost, and then use localhost as your smtp server. you really send email remotely and NEED your server to send it? the qualification doesn't have anything to...

intel has been rocking out on chipsets since the 850 pretty much. most of the 845 series rules.

did your mom tell you? OH SNAP

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=skittish :) (not being a dick, just a future reference kind of thing)

ah this is a different one... (i was skittish about opening the .exe)

okay above 2.4 :) i would buy a 2.4/intel chipset board just to assure a 4in1/wcpredit/hassle/etc-free experience, but that's worth $30 to me. i can definitely see how anybody at or below 2.4 would buy amd, but above that it doesn't make sense to me.

accubyte (as usual) has the best prices. i've ordered stuff from them for at least 5 years with no problems.

pricewatch

i see $8, not $35

well he's still contesting it when i'm clearly talking about the 2.4 range... it's not some kind of holy war, it's fact. i use amd at work and intel at home btw.

333mhz bus vs 533mhz bus, amd loses (but not a wide margin) in the majority of available metrics at the same 'rating' (e.g. 2800+ vs 2.8) xp2500+/333 costs $171us p42.53/533 costs $179us

intel is doing fine vs amd in price/performance around the 2.4ghz range compared to an amd with an nforce2

i would be willing to wager that remarking is way worse than (intentional or otherwise) overclocking. consider asia.

i'm having a friend at rausch motors look into how serious the ford claims are

kansas or missouri?

the eyes have it, and the eyes always will

wow...i see nothing but complaints in the vwvortex forums/newsgroups about pre-2003 a4 jettas, mostly about window regulators and ignition coils. i know the regulator issue is fixed for 2003, but i'm still pretty concerned. is this just a vocal minority? consumer reports has the 2002 golf and...

sold! i now 0wn a 2003 black on black leather loaded gli. should have it next week - there are none in my state :O

nissan 350z felt great :) i'm not talking about sports suspension, i'm talking about the rattly 'i am driving a sardine can' feeling. it's not a sporty, pleasant kind of rough, and i suspect that's how they're able to sell such powerful cars so cheaply.

weird that it put our posts out of order...

i don't like the look or the owner image, but my biggest gripe is the noise and TERRIBLE ride. i will confess i haven't been inside one for over a year.

i can't take comfort advice from somebody who bought a mustang :)

this was my thought as well. it dates back to older tractors where you had to clutch to neutral and then reclutch to gear. that's how my father learned to drive a stick. black w/black leather, loaded

i test drove the gls 1.8t and gli vr6 tonight with an enthusiast friend that drives a 6 cylinder chipped mid nineties golf we both agreed that the vr6 felt and sounded much better. looks like i'll be buying a loaded gli in the next week or so.

i quickly misread that as a 'boss hogg'. just the good ol' boys....

cool! congrats :)

watch out for filtering :( cable cos almost always have rules against servers and enforce dynamic ips for residential users, which is fine. what's worse though is that many are actively blocking outbound vpn connections (pptp, ipsec, etc) and forcing users to pay for commercial service to be...

i had terrible wiring in a relatively new house i lived in about 4-5 years ago, and my dialup suffered as a result of it. i ended up running a cable straight from the box on the side of the house to my modem :)

it would appear i may be purchasing a jetta sooner than later :O took my (1996) car to get evalled, has about 2k worth of 'should be dones' including a leaking head gasket... the more i look at the 1.8t the more attractive it gets, though. it hits max torque at 2000rpm, better mileage, more...

a coworker has a perfect on this one. it's actually possible to hole-in-one all of them.

"yeah, but that TruCoat..."

i've always heard diesel was bad unless you were always doing long trips

so you know of cases where chipping caused a problem?

doesn't the 1.8t do max torque at lower speeds?

do you think the typical person driving a manual that is looking to step up the hp to something in the jetta range would realize the benefits of the vr6 vs the 1.8t? i'm sure it sounds much better, but i have to wonder w/my limited amount of driving - 90% streets/stoplights - whether or not the...

thanks! what about the manual habits?

is the warmup bit true on vehicles today? i get so much conflicting advice on stick etiquette. i have 110,000 miles on my current car and the clutch shows no signs of stopping. i often pop into neutral to coast on city streets, and i always skip the clutch when i go into neutral - 2 quirks...

yeah most consumer tires aren't rated to go that fast, and if you blow a tire at 100+mph you are most likely going to lose control and do serious damage to all sorts of things
