Don't forget the obvious - Check the event logs for errors...

Have you considered a simple ATI All-In-Wonder video card. It is much cheaper than going the WinXP MCE route.

Disk-based encryption a good idea, especially for notebook drives. Only a 25% increase in size. What happened to the 10x data density promise of perpendicular recodring? It will be interesting to find out how much then can streach the product and what the ending size will be. A 10x data...

4 more memory controllers would require lots more pins on the socket for the extra data+address lines. I really don't see AMD adding 4 extra 128 bit lines per chip (512+ more pins).

The big problem with multiple dual cores is ram bandwidth. As you add cores, the need to get data to those cores increases linearly. 2x cores means 2x RAM BW needed -- 8x cores means 8x RAM BW needed to keep them all happy. A real problem with Intel's current solution because there everything...

The problem here is that spanish isn't a country it is a language. You need to specificy the country.

The magnetic N-S Poles are perpendicular to the surface of the platter rather than the current method which records them parallel to the disk.

Do you need the products to be made in Spain, Mexico or some other spannish speaking country? or, do you simply need the manuals to be written in spanish with a spanish speaking customer support? Then there is the question of what specific products are you asking about -- Hard Drives, tape...

It allows you to add parameters that run everytime the service is started like -local -service -advmethods

What are you talking about?

I've checked out B+, in Salem, for non-brandname Smartups 1400 (RBC-7) battereis and they are double the price I can get for an equivilent new battery on Ebay. Yes, they will take the cores at no charge.

I don't know about Goback interfering. Is the drive online?

I have to admit to being a UPS Snob: I only purchase APC Smartups's. If this is for personal use, may I suggest buying a used APC Smartups (in working condition) through Ebay and then buying, also on Ebay, a new battery pak. With a little luck you can end up with a 1400VA for around $200...

That is because there is little gain in capability to the interfaces. It matters not that the interfaces have lots of BW capability to transfer data if the drive it is connected to is the limiter. What is the point of having 3-4Gb/s of BW when the drive can only transfer 640Mb/s at a peak...

Congrats on the team getting 3 million points. Team Certificate

Very Technical P4 info More information than I ever thought I needed to know about the internal workings of the P4 processor in its various flavors.

Now all he needs is a computer that outputs its external audio through an optical or coax connection.

What about my 25% discount from Creative from their class-action lawsuit? My opinion - Still not worth buying creative...

My opinions and observations: You can run both the Intel and AMD 64 bit processors on the 32 bit Windows platform just fine. You can run both of these processors on the 64 bit Windows platform too but that is a far more iffy proposition because of the lack of 64 bit driver support. There is a...

Whatever became of to the theory of comparing apples to apples?

Other than more than 4 SATA ports, I think you're right-on. There are lots of MB's that access to PATA and that will do for adding extra devices, as needed. With rare exceptions even an enthusist can deal with the limitation of 8 drives.... As of right now there are few real advantages to...

Don't Flash devices still run into lifespan issues with a limited number of writes before self-destruction?

Don't know, but my guess is that one controller requests more retries than the other and the retries are successful so it doesn't feel the need to report an error state.

The error code indicates that your drive is receiving uncorrectable CRC errors. That typically means that you have developed some bad blocks on the drive. I agree that it is time to replace the drive, regardless of the status of the Seagate diagnostics, epsecially since you are receiving...

Even their 8-port managed Gigabyte switch at $89 (no jumbo frames) sure sounds like a good deal. No, I know nothing about Dell switches other than their spec. sheet.

I liked it. It was entertaining enough and told a good story that tied up lots of loose ends with special effects were really very good (They've learned alot through the years). Regardless, it still ends up as a movie without real substance. I liked The Interpreter much better: More...

That could easily be a bad PATA cable causing repeated CRC errors. When you replaced the cables, the bad cable was replaced and thereby no more noise... Another alternative is that you had a bad power connection and the process of replacing the cables was enough fiddling to improve the power...

When I've had array problems with multiple drives kicking out it has invariably been because of y-adapters on the power plugs....I hate Y-adapters and have switched to T-adapters to deal with the same issues. But if you have unacceptable noises then you may simply have a bad drive pulling too...

What, He Speaks! I thought that Tannin had long since gone to visit the Gods, never to return.

No, not to my knowledge.

Go for it.

My first guess is that the machine has a RAM problem: Your HD cache is getting corrupted. Try running Memtest86+.

Heat Sink solutions should always be cheaper and more reliable then a fan+Heat Sink. They just don't supply the cooling capability that fans do. If you can get away without a fan, then do it.

and the simple answer -- No. Good in theory, bad in practice.

All that has happened is that they have put in a warning notice, that all manufacturers should include. To my knowledge, no HD diagnostic programs, from any manufacturer, can detect HD's plugged into any raid card or onboard raid controller regardless of the raid status of the individual HD...

I still vist SR occasionally. Every time I do, I get more and more dissapointed with the signal to noise ratio. The old standby's don't post there nearly as much as they used to. Here there is a much better S/N but unfortunately the signal level is low. We need more people with high signal...

I exist. Does anybody else?

The worst video investment I made was being an early adobter of Nvidia's TNT2. I did extensive review research with only positive results. After I bought the card did I find out that they has serious problems with virtually all motherboards: When used in games, they pulled too much current...

Kinda a pain but you can always slipstream the drivers onto a CD and install from there.

Originally, floppy cables didn't have twists. That meant that to distinguish between A: and B: you needed jumpers: Just like IDE hard drives there was a master (drive 0) and a slave (drive 1). Later, they figured out that by adding the twist to the cable, you could ID which drive was the...

The problem is that a jumper won't cause the LED to be continiously on. The jumpers only determine Master, Slave, CS: i.e. how to address the drive.

With hard drives that is true. With floppies, the standard is just the reverse. However, even that has its exceptions. The true standard, is that the red stripe goes with pin one, regardless of its orientation to the power connector.

What I mean by backwards is that pin 1 is plugged into pin 34 and pin 34 is plugged into pin 1. To correct this you need to switch the sides the red stripe (the read strip id's pin 1) is on on the drive. Typically, the red stripe is in the same side as all the other ribbon cables on the...

If the light is on all the time, that normally means the floppy cable is on backwards. Don't go to jumpers, unless that is fixed first.

All the device manager cares about is that you have an active floppy controller. It does no validity checking for the actual drive, so it will always list the drive as working as long as the controler works. How do you know that there is power to it? Is the light on continiously? If so, then...

What's happening to our team: Our production has dropped like a rock? Fushigi: Active processors (within 50 days) 22 -- Active processors (within 7 days) 7 F_Bostrom: Active processors (within 50 days) 10 -- Active processors (within 7 days) 5 ddureding: Active processors (within 50...

My 540EZ will do 40 frames at 100Hz at 1/128 power in strobe mode. I'm sure the 580EX will do better...

I just use old 66/100/133MHz+ Promise cards. Used seems to work fine.

The Itaniam version is out there too, But I didn't supply it. To my knowledge the x86 64 bit Windows 2003 server is still in beta. M$ is unlikely to offer a SP for a beta product.
