Worse, I'm a guy with a library card and a broadband connection :D Joking aside, I guess my current career path places me in the midst of the brokerage/investment industry. CK

So last Sunday, I has a friend who calls me up and says "I got a problem" I says, "friend, what seems to be your problem" Friend says (in a pathetic sobbingly voice that a five year old would make) "My Speed disk don't work" "Your Speed Disk don't work! Sweet Jebus mother of mercy! I'll be...

pffffff... (1) what does your average lawyer know about the securities markets ? (2) I see many flaws outside of the legal aspect Isn't this "new economy" mentally getting a little stale. Greed - bringing a company which has no revenues whatsoever to speak of to market. Guilible - investors...

jtr, Sorry to hear of your loss. I know exactly how you feel as I just lost one of my cats last month to lymphatic cancer. He too died in the Vets waiting room, yet sadly mine experienced a rather unpleasant death. I was not present, and this is a source of anger for me because I am certain...

Free, If you got this combo then you may want to take a look at this thread. I have heard of problems with those fans before, and googling gave me that thread as one of the first hits ... some of the stories sound pretty plausible. CK

Liam, I'm unclear of what you did exactly but I suspect it something similar to: your original HDD had W2K on it, you added another HDD to the system, you either cloned or created an image of the boot partition and restored it on the second HDD, you unattached the first HDD, and tried to boot...

I notice that this article is getting a lot of attention elsewhere too. If you have time to kill, and are interested in reading from another perspective (investment industry), try the following. (Note: there are a lot of absolutely clueless morons who post on the following board, but there...

I haven't looked at the material too closely yet, but I thought it looked promising: http://home.earthlink.net/~vorck/ This person seems to have followed the directions: http://members.shaw.ca/dteyn/ie-free/ CK

lol Infineon is quite the dirty bird.

Being very brief, the on board mem controller knocks off 2 clock cycles on each access. Depending upon the type of access that occurs, that 2 cycle savings can be modest to quite substantial in terms of the performance improvement observed on a benchmark level. On board is an excellent step in...

Infineon is a 20% stakeholder of Ramtron, as well as a creditor.

http://home.san.rr.com/klm/lynnster/bodyboard.html - has links to a bunch of dolphin and shark sites for this interested.

No it is a dolphin. - The perspective of the guy on the board is misleading, nonetheless our friend flipper is a big one. - The tail is not vertical, its horizontal and is what is know as a "fluke" - which is what flippers have. Even if we were to argue that the tail is vertical, its shape...

looks like a dolphin

Its too bad we couldn't do something academic like Markowitz's Efficient Frontier (it looks at risk vs reward in terms of diversified portfolio's .... which directly parallel's the cost vs performance theme here in terms of Fq and settings)....just thinking how computer performance theory is...

honold, someone on SR this morning linked to a memory article to Tom's (which turned out to be the usual sugar coated dribble fraught with many inaccuracies that we've come to expect from that site). However, (sadly) it was this source which reminded me of the chipsets ability to issue an early...

BTW, isn't DivX 3.11 the version that was based on stolen MS code? Try ver 5 .... much better quality than 3 :)

No special background, it just interests me both on a technical level and from a business perspective (a lot of fat ducuts to be made and lost in the DRAM industry). CK

Comments: - I disagree with taking an equal weighting with all 6 benchmarks and arriving at an observation of an overall percentage increase. You should use a range, and try to discuss why the app benefits or appears not to benefit in the given situations. Taking a look a just one of those 6...

Oops, sorry, I see what you meant now. (Obviously) It wasn't clear to me at first.

Just started reading. Formatting looks much better from the results.txt :) First thing I notice is that the percentages in the column for the 3:4:4:8/500 compared to a base of 2:2:2:5/400 are wrong. Example: aidaread " = +9.344% (compared to 2225/400)" but if you normalize to the...

In order for a DDR chip to support CL3, the necessary pipeline stages have to be available. As far as I'm aware, only Micron and Samsung chips support it (i.e. are hardwired for it). So, even if the option is available in the BIOS, functionally it defaults to 2.5. Also, IIRC, Intel chipset...

honold, 1) How would you characterise the performance behaviour of your Raptor? ... especially in comparison to that provided by your JBs 2) Outside of the fact that a specific benchmark performance anomonaly has been observed, are you impressed by the drive, or do you find it falls short of...

No problem zx, hope it works out for you. CK

So did you flash the new BIOS and retry the mem? CK

e_dawg: I was aware of all of them, except for dangeo. Nonetheless, I appreciate the time you took to provide the links. Thanks for the feed back, gents. Cheers, CK

Coug, I didn't read the article, but tf your still interested, here's another review CK

Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) suppsedly had once stated something along the lines of "it ain't what you don't know that hurts ya, its what you know that just ain't so". Unfortunately, that is partially the case in regards to my comments made the other day. Because I had a notion in my head, and...

Interesting. CWT is probably a Antec PSU builder...which doesn't mean anything, or imply that their own label would have higher QC....nonetheless, kind of surprised. I know...I was, how should I say it, being diplomatic, in implying that perhaps Merc had confused the two.

Hi there, If you read my post here, you will see that I just discovered that big online retailer Tigerdirect now has a Canadian operation. In the past I have read a few negative remarks about their (American) operation, but never heeded much attention seeing that I would never be ordering...

We should just turn this thread into a monthly news letter :D Anyways, on to business: ------------------ SPEEZE IN CANADA!! Thats right sports fans, now you too can buy these almost legendary, Mercutio approved, low noise (high) performanc coolers. It appears that Tigerdirect has taken...

Lastly, maybe Merc was refering to Shutlle's mATX boards (MN___) and constructing a mATX system around them as opposed to the flex/SFFs ?

of course, it could be that the manufacturer of the ACME/Enhance units is the same company that produces stuff for Antec....but the point I was trying to get at was that quality control (standards) and design could be improved. CK

From what I've seen on various forums: - the early Shuttles relied on ACME PSUs which tended to be problematic and seemed to be stamina lacking in terms of life expectancy. [honold, which PSUs were in the sv24s?] - ACME quality improved somewhat and more reliable units are now being...

Seems to me that Arthur Anderson would have considered Photoshop standard issue :)

Err, I mean LX :D. Good catch Cougtek. However, as it turns out, my above explaination stands even for the LX. For the curious types, you can consult Intel's spec sheets for the chipset. Noteworthy in particular: Meaning bits 0 & 1 are for the RAS\ and CAS\ signals, and bits 2-13 are the...

I came across the answer yesterday, and collectively, we all weren't too far off. Here, in brief, is the gory details: * BX chipset has 12 memory address lines * Because of the nature of system memory addressing (its multiplexed across the same memory pins; chipset first sends the row address...

And who would have thought that an FTC case would prove to be so interesting. All it needs now is for a couple of bodies to turn up floating down the East River and they got themselves an Oscar winning script. I can see it now: "JEDEC Confidential" CK

Umm, you mean this one? :D CK

Are you implying that Charles (Sivar) and Andrew (Balding Ape) are behaving autocratically? Or was that just a qualification you listed for the position of moderator? If the former, I have never seen evidence to support such a claim. Both are good guys as far as I can tell. CK

I like the looks of that model, and also admire it simply because they have done away with the wall wart this time (or at least that is my understanding, maybe you can confirm Andy). CK

Tony, deep within the accessory reviews section of Steve's Digicam site, one finds the link to this CF performance article. Haven't read it, so no guarentees on its quality. CK

Yeah Mickey, your speakers su....I mean are awesome :wink: So NHT 's are that good are they? I don't think I've ever heard a set ... something about the name sets me off though ... can't stop thinking about cash registers (ala NCR) :D CK

Sorry, didn't see your post when I started e_dawg. I seem to recall something about like that. I think I read some article by Andrew Marshall once going over the story...but its all fuzzy. Not in school. Unemployed by self choice, but starting to get the itch to be back on to Bay St. again...

I used to follow audio stuff (albeit never caught the disease e_dawg confesses too). I really don't think it is a very healthy hobby or interest...you begin to start coveting frivalious things a little too much...same thing applies with computer hardware, but at least with computers some...

I stand corrected! :D Thanks Coug, I was completely unaware of them being available around here. CK

As for customs, I have no clue...probably buried deep on CCRA's web page somewhere. I just wish Newegg would expand its availablitiy...oh the humanity. Sincerely, your technology deprived friend, CK.

Dang, I got distracted and hit submit somehow. Yep, they make those snail looking things....they look ridiculous. Kind of saddens me that they would produce something like that....I haven't paid attention to audio stuff for a while, so I have no idea what kind of reception they are getting...

England

Probably UMC....but who cares, none of the stuff ever reaches the shores of N.A or Europe (unless your a reviewer and Via sends you a refernce board)....maybe our Aussie friends come across some, but I reckon its all bound for Pacific Rim proper. CK
