Using a x16 video card in a SC420

I dislike the Dell 420's as a basic machine. First, and formost they come with a x8 PCI-e capability using a x16 slot with no AGP port and no sound. The problem is that their x16 connector has a tab inserted to allow x8 cards to be edge supported. To make any modern video card work on that...

I really don't think it is a big deal -- Everyone that frequents these forums are actually adults and can handle these. The rules were actually designed with the possibility of some of the younger crowd being in existance. These forums have been in existance for long enough that the audiance...

I guess I'm a fool because I wasn't joking. While it is peculiar and thereby humerous, that a SF thread is associated with the other links; Isn't it against our rules to link to adult sites, and by association links to links of adult sites? At least that was my rational for my original question.

I must be dense, so I'll ask the really dumb Q -- Why is this link being allowed? Why was it not removed, by the moderators, within minutes of it being created? Just think of me as Mr. Prude.

Being that I live in Salem, welcome to my neck of the woods. No, I know of no one that is hiring right now -- Sorry, but I don't keep track of such.

I am truely impressed with the link you supplied to MIT's open courseware. Thanks.

Tannin, I applaud you -- You have defined what a secular humanist is perfectly in less than a novel sized book. I really haven't seen a better definition. I know I could not have done as well : I've tried.

Perhaps the question is phrased wrong: Rather than why should everyone be paying for a Homosexual's preferences, we should be asking why is everyone paying for the Hetrosexuals preferences? If equality in benefits amoung the two groups is a good thing and the reason that they are seperate is...

With no routing between them, gateways have to be on the same network. A default gateway is merely where a packet goes when something doesn't know where to send a packet. Think of each device as watching for traffic that is addressed to it. It simply examines everything to see if it should...

Yes, you are misunderstanding. Unless there is routing going on (You need a routing protocol turned on) the gateways have to be on the same subnet/network. Otherwise the packets have nowhere to go when they are received at the destination but they are on different networks so they get dropped.

A bit spendy, but hey that is SCSI.

I agree that CRT's that are working should not be inheirantly replaced: why waste money. If there is a need then I don't see why not replace it though. I have a need - My close-up eyesight is starting to get worse and clarity matters. I'd actually replace mine except for the cost of DVI...

You have no idea what the "Swing states are going through". I don't even think of Oregon as a swing state (It's pro Kerry, but close) but for the past week I've been getting at least 5 calls a day from different Bush campain volunteers asking if I've received my ballot (we have vote by mail)...

Bush has set the bar very low - Almost anybody other than Bush.

Sorry about the above post: For some reason, I thought you were talking about SFF and not HTPC: A totaaly different market.

I want three things that don't currently occur on SFF cases. I want a balanced retractible handle: One that does not interfere with its flatness either on top; sides; or front; sticking out the rear is ok. One of the great benefits of a SFF is it's portability. Lets use that! A docking...

Your power supply fan is dying. You have two choices: Either replace the power supply or take apart the PS and replace the fan. Warning - There are large capactiors in power supplies that will carry a signifigent charge even when the power is unplugged. Those capactors can kill given right...

Extreme telephoto < Spotting scope

You really do well with those pictures. What lens is used? My experiance in taking bird shots is that one needs an extreme telephoto to get closeups like that. By the way I particularly like the snake photo.

At 6000 points per day we finally seem to have stopped our slow drop in the standings (from 39->94). At least for the next 100 days or so, we should stay at 94 or better. Congrats to all. If we want to start steadily moving up in rank (at a reasonable rate) then we need another 2000 points...

The location of an onboard controller and its specific BW limitations will be specific to the design of the chipset. To find out the BW limitations you really need to study your chipsets flow diagrams with their multitude of buses and their respective bandwidths. To give you a few example...

Run MemTest86+ Check CPU temps and voltages in BIOS

Yes, it happens all the time especially with rounded cables (They put all the data lines in close proxismity of each other). That is why the newer 80 line udma cables with a ground between every data line was created. Those ground lines are there to absorb the crosstalk. Note, that normally...

Does anyone know of a laptop with native SCSI onboard that this drive will work in? I think it has the most value in 1u enclosures, or blades, where space is at an extreme premimum.

PIO mode vs UDMA mode cache disabling; or mis-configuring a cache (external to OS) not enough RAM for caching purposes; Insufficient paging file wrong or non-existant drivers; improperly configured drivers raid-rebuilding degraded raid Fragmentation Excessive number of files in a single...

Make sure that you are not using PIO mode for your Cd/DVD drives.

No smaller cards get to plug into larger slots (x1 card into a x16 slot is ok)but you can't make a x16 card plug into a x8 slot. The actual slots are different sized so you can't actually fit an x16 card (82 pins) into an x8 slot (49 pins). There is only one mechanical key in the slots and...

Dell is now incorporating PCI-E into their new low-end servers. That being said -- I'm not impressed. They are incorporating x8 and x1 PCI-E slots and the problem is that they are useless right now. They are using integrated video with no AGP slots; and the minimum standard for a PCI-E video...

I just read what I wrote and am not particularly pleased with it. It needs editing to be more accurate. Even in its inaccurate state it still portrays the gist of what I wanted to get across. So I guess I'll live with it. So please forgive any inacuracies or incompleteness of some of the...

PCI-X is simply an extension to the PCI bus. It adds MHz (33->66->100->133MHz) and/or extending the number of data lines (32->64). As an engineering task, going faster and adding more parallel lines to a bus becomes increasingly difficult to do. The crosstalk, impeadance, end-point...

Really as long as the content in the BBS is useable, I don't care which BBS is used. Whatever is best for you Handruin, is fine with me.

I've had very good luck with used Ebay APC Smart-UPS's. Even factoring in a replacement battery ($60 Generic) and shipping ($50-$65) it typically costs far less than new and they work just as reliabily.

The movie is simply an inferior remake of the Colossus: The Forbin Project.

I assure you Merc -- You have value even if your ex says otherwise (either directly or indirectly).

You don't need a specific computer speaker -- Any speaker will do. The only issue is efficiency (how loud the resulting beep). Yes, it is quite possible that shuttle sent you another defective MB or even the same board. All computer companies send out "Refurbished" replacement equipment...

Check the validity of the monitor. Does it show power? Does it indicate a signal coming through? Does the monitor's internal menu work? Does the monitor work on another machine? Does the Shuttle have a potentially conflicting onboard video? I don't think so, but I didn't look it up to make...

at one time, I actually considered opening a PC gaming center in my city. Ater doing a cost/benefit analysis, I decided that it wasn't going to be a profitable enough venture and that dedicated standard video games could out-compete PC's because people are easily willing to plump down 50 cents...

If you compare Fushigi's setup and mine Then compare Processing power looking just at High performance CPU's Fushigi has 6 major CPU's (2800, 2800, 2800, 2600 2000M (roughly equiv to a 3200), 1600M (Equiv to 2600)) and 10 minor machines I have 8 major CPU's (3200, 3200, 3200, 2500, 2500...

The WU's are too irregular for one to make judgements based on daily production. I think weekly numbers are much more accurate and you've only been at this with the new machines for a couple of days. So, I really don't know (implied -> You shouldn't either) what your average production will be...

No thank you! That would be hard to justify even at just the cost of shipping. Those old Celerons are real dogs. I've had real problems dealing with Via chipsets, but that was quite a while ago. I still remember the pain and to this day still avoid all Via chipsets. I mentally explain the...

why 1/2 time? if set to idle priority then they don't impact the user even at full time.

I keep waiting for you to bring your 30+ machines into the fold.

I have folding: One HT 3200 P4 (two clients) One dual Athlon MP 1900+ (two clients) Three Athlon XP Barton's 2500+@2500 XP's Two Athlon XP Barton 2500+@3200 XP's None are dedicated to folding but all are normally up 24x7

and they don't make converters.

no, he forgot to plug in the power to the CD.

When both the CPU and the MB go bad, one has to suspect the PS as a likely culprit. Further, If both CPU and MB are bad, you also need to suspect that the RAM has gone bad too as it is highly susceptible to voltage irregularities.
