Using corsair value select. Going to try some different ram.

Athlon XP 2600+, Running AthlonXP 2600+

GA-7VT600 1394 - Motherboard died, RMAd it. Got the new one in, installed it, computer booted fine into XP Home. Running slow, remember that you have to flip the switch to make it run at normal speeds. Flip the switch, it won't boot. Safe mode- Works. Try to do a repair install. I've...

I'm here for ya too, bud. I think you've got my number and I know you've got my email. I've always got time for a friend.

Tannin - Don't know why the Asus bashing, I've had nothing but excellent experience with everything Asus. From video cards to motherboards, I've never had a single problem, speaking from my A7V, A7V333, 2x A7N8Xs, and a plethora of video cards, I have nothing bad to say about them. I say Asus...

Aye... only 31w of heat, not too terribly bad, we'll see how it spews out fire... That Dothan is Centrino btw... Battery life should be ~4+ Hours.

I ended up purchasing a Falcon Northwest Fragbook TL. Specs: Pentium M 755 (2.0ghz Dothan) 1G Corsair PC2700 ATI Mobility 9700 1400x1050 15" Display Hitachi 60GB / 7200RPM Drive Integrated Intel B/G Wireles The whole 9 yards, I'll post some pics and more details when I get it (Approx a MONTH...

The DVDR and external case seem a bit pricey, let me know how you like it, I also just purchased a notebook and am anxiously awaiting it.

Why the DVDR? Do you need to burn DVDs all the time with this notebook? I'd say just get somthing with a combo drive and use an external USB/Firewire DVD Burner... That will increase the battery life

Working on it... $20 iPod if you use the blockbuster "Free" trial. If you cancel within the trial period, it doesn't count as completing the offer, so you can cancel on the 15th day, at which point, blockbuster has already billed you $20 for your first month of service. Still, a $250 value...

I can bring you a TBird in a couple of hours. Think it's a 1200

I think I'll have to third the no pop-ups statement.

I'm running a 3Ware Escalade 8506-4, it's wonderful, I have some experience with Promise stuff, nothing bad to say, other than it took about 18 hours to add a disk to my RAID-5 array...

It did help A LOT... Thnx for the tip Merc

Same here, no crash.. 0.9.2 ; Opened it right up

I highly recommend getting Far Cry, even just for the single player game it is well worth it.

Not a bad idea... a few "Supercomputers" :roll: With all the best new hardware, those computers would almost always have someone on them, if not to game, just to experience "The Best"

Yeah.. It said "Clicking on this advertisement ....." As I ask myself What advertisement?? Oh yeah, that's right. Eat localhost doubleclick

Agreed. I'm very interested. My 9800 Pro is still chugging along, and the same with the womans Ti4600

Excellent... Down with floppy drives and VCRs!!!

Thanks ddrueding, I plan on putting the stuff high up in the rack, and a fan exhausting the hot air out of the top with some kind of filtration system on the bottom and front/back.

Lunar - I'm located in Northwest Indiana, about 40 miles from Chicago.

I agree with the dust problem, the rack will have air filtration. I was told that some humidity is good for computers, because if there is none, static builds up much more quickly

Yeah, I'm not too worried about mice, it'll be in a rack, but the temps do get fairly warm/moist and cold/moist. I thought humidity was a good thing, not bad???

I have a question for all the gurus around. I have a rackmount server, a catalyst 3550, a cable modem, and a PIX 501 I want to put out in a rack in my garage. My question is, will being out in the garage damage this stuff? It's not climate controlled, but stays fairly cool. I just want to...

Warning- Keep children and small animals clear, they may be sucked into your new Intel PC

Stable??? What the hell are you talking about? Firefox kicks any other browser that I've ever used (Netscape, IE, AOL)'s ass in EVERY possible category

Howell - Yes, hardcoded everything works fine Blake - ran the netsh command and still the same thing. I'll run SFC in a bit Thanks again for the help

Yes, pinging by ip ; XP Professional ; I've reinstalled the nic a few times

If I ping w/ the Static IP and Manual DNS info, it'll ping everything on the network. Same subnets, everything. Anyone else confused?

If I release then renew, I get the .1.100 add, if I just renew, it says it can't contact the DHCP server. Try pinging the DHCP server, doesn't work... 100% loss. Ping another computer on the network - fine. ?????

Correct, only 1 DHCP server on the network, all other PCs are release/renewing fine and getting the proper IPs they should be... Range starting @ .1.5 ; Yeah, release / renewed countless times

Windows XP Pro will NOT pick up any IP address other than 192.168.1.100 ; My DHCP server isn't even outputting this address. Everything else is correct - Gateway, dns, ect. but the connection will NOT work, the only way I can get it to work is to manually enter the IP/DNS info. Any ideas...

I'm going to have to hurt you next week, but the Gigabyte GA8KNXP That I'm running is horriffically stable, everything runs super smooth. Only complaint is the fan on the NB. Feature packed ***Expensive*** board.

Finally! No more broken weenie connectors!

Thanks!!! Trying to recruit some more CPUs :)

Sorry to hear that, but I've had nothing but positive experience with them

I see the need for some new raptors, not in the server side. Why not just invest in some more 36G raptors or the 74s?

25 Systems running the game at the same time would be impossible imo, but I haven't explored the wide world of SCSI yet. I guess the main problem I see is getting the files to the client machines fast enough. The real question here is "How fast do the files need to be transfered in order for...

I imaged my "Play Disc" from the CD version and I get some weird sort of error... just installed a no-cd patch and it works fine, until they patch the game ;) The machine I use for gaming doesn't have a CD/DVD drive

Well, What I'd like to accomplish is to start playing with linux. Knoppix is nice, my only problem with it is it running off the CD. Do I need to just move the files on the CD to the HDD and I'm done? I have a dedicated machine that I just came into so I can play / format / whatever it until...

Vague would be an unjust description :D Thanks for the input sechs

Wondering which version of Linux to install, I understand it's all personal prefrence, but what would be a good install for a person new to Linux? I have Knoppix, been playing around, I just want to install somthing on my drive instead of running it off the CD

I don't have any experience with Flexraid, but I know that both my Promise Fastrax S150 SX4 and 3Ware Escalade 8506 will do it. I see it safe to assume that you can do it. One warning though, the Promise card took about 2 days to add the new drive to the array.

So, I take it that the Verizon fairy has blessed you this evening :D

They don't? Damn it. Anyways, I do like nVidia chipsets, for some odd reason they have worked great for me in everything I've put them in. Nothing against VIA or Intel, but the nForce series of chipsets has just worked for me, and EVEN the IDE drivers.

The newest chipset from my favorite company :D New functions : nvRaid Gigabit Ethernet Nvidia Firewall On the fly overclocking

Nope... Not nearly enough. What the hell?? 1/2 the cost per megabyte? Fiber = cheaper, never seen that one before

I've bought several refurbs, 3-4 mobos and a few other things from Newegg ; No problems, dirt cheap prices

LoL Tea - I think it's ugly right now, I had to un-tie down and get rid of some cabling work when I switched MoBos, and yes, the white thingys are PCI card hold downs, but I think antec made them for ONLY full length PCI cards, as you can see, it won't touch the 3ware card that is in there...
