While I probably should have just let this thread die, I resurrect it for the following (off topic) curiousities: I do! And what you said about taking advantage of the NRC is so true. My first pair of speakers were some Mirage SM-1's that I got second hand. Granted just beginner speakers...

I picked up a Toshiba Flat screen about a year and a half ago, and have recommended it to several others - both they and I have been extremely pleased. Indeed, when people come over and the TV is on, they always seem to comment on the great picture quality. Essentially, I bought it as a stop...

Incidently, you can see from this how module density figures tie in with all of this: 32Mx64 (also denoted as 32M64)....which of course mathematically gives you a 256MB capacity However, from the context of looking at the DRAM chips themselves, you can see that we would have know way of knowing...

Given what you said above (16 DRAM chips on each of the modules), then yes, exactly.....which is what should be expected. But even further proof is contained in the chip model number itself: 46V16M8....16M8 is just another notation conveying the same thing as 16Mx8. [In otherwords, its a...

Sorry Howell, I'm not quite clear what your seeking. Do you mean as in you have a generic module and you wish to ID the manufacturer? If so, you could try a program, like Blake suggested, that will read the info programed into the SPD/EEPROM. CPU-Z has such capability. Caveat - not all...

It would be a chipset limitation. However: I agree, and the more I think about it, the more I think it shouldn't make one iota of a difference. I think I'm off base. Just speculating (I'm doing a lot of it these days it seems) cause I have seen other people report similar problems when there...

I think what I'm saying is: I've never owned a board with the chipset in question (at least to the best of my knowledge, which means I could have, but just didn't know cause I really didn't care less about computers back then --- just wanted the damn things to work), so I'm just speculating and...

As per FAQ no. 11 found here (scroll down near the bottom of the page), the Mozilla Firebird name will itself eventually be changed to just plain ol' "Mozilla Browser". CK

I want to see features damn it! Not no stinking one percent, two percent upmanship arms race. I'm actually a little dissapointed with the "new" Nforce2 revisions. Somehow I was under the impression that they were also releasing a new variant of the MPC that would have brought in native SATA...

Given, in this case, that they shared the same pin count, functionally a DRAM chip is a DRAM chip is a DRAM chip....the only thing seperating the PC133 chips from the PC66 is that they are capable of running at the higher frequency.....but in zx's case, the PC133 are running at PC66 frequency...

Those are the module density figures you have quoted, as opposed to the chip densities that I quoted above. Unfortunately, Module densities don't convey an accurate picture because of two things: 1) manufacturers don't always follow the same labeling convention and 2) it doesn't tell us how...

US sub attackec in Arctic! Bush: Canada harbouring bears of mass destruction.

When you checked your new stick with memtest, and you thought it was taking a long time (hour for 1 pass), did you have both sticks in together? If so, take the 512 out and retry...bet it works fine i.e. back to speedy operations. My guess is that its a side affect of the "virtual to physical...

BTW, Lunar, what tasks are you doing that you require so much RAM - Graphics? CK

The cost of a single 512Mbit (64x8) chip is still very costly. Slapping 16 of those on a DIMM would be one very costly upgrade. CK

So true. I got to thinking (very briefly) about this yesterday...I kind of wondered how many people have not developed their computing skills further then they could have because of such "barriers", or are forced into adopting an unnatural approach with ultimately detracts from their computing...

Indeed, whats with the calander and little cardboard toys. With mine, I got a motorcycle that your supposed to cut out and prop on your desk...Got to wonder if they seriously think someone appreciates that crap. Hello MSI, your target market isn't a bunch of five year olds....Perhaps such...

Just playing around with the orientation of my mouse - I can immediately feel that the quill mouse would be great ergonomically....but it would be a pretty big slab vertically.

Yes I can see the future of SR's computers forum now: Can somebody helped me, a virus ruptured my phospholipid bilayer and one of my partitions leaked out into the interstitial fluid.

My place was renovated last year around the end of winter. The day before the reno started (night before garbage day), I threw out a whole lot of old furniture and general crap. Most of the junk got taken away by the losers in the neighbourhood within 2 hours....one from up the street even...

Just noticed SR improved the layout (got rid of the 2nd column from the left which contained all the happy faces) of the threads listings...makes a big world of difference in my opinion (looks cleaner/fresher). CK

honold linked a similar device (maybe the same one?) to a guy on SR a while back. I was quite intrigued by it...too bad I don't know squat about *BSD, as it could be fun to play with one. CK

Pleads insanity :wink: Correct. CK

Hmm, interesting point Howell. I did, initially, search through their user forum to see if it was mentioned before, but I didn't find anything. However, I was searching then for "tex_elite....". I'll give another quick search later on for mention of "atdmt" and their dispicable tactic. I...

No. I highly doubt my opinion matters more to them than the rubles they see from atdmt.com. Anyways, as I stated, tis no longer a problem. CK

Its manipulative....but its nothing that doesn't occur elsewhere: - American ambassador's (and by extention, American foreign policy) recent remarks about strained US-Canadian relations and inuendo's of reprocutions resulting from the Canadian gov't's decision not to participate in the invasion...

I'll consider that, but it'll definitely have to be for my own characters as opposed to those I rip off from the Simpsons. I figured Mozilla/Phoenix/Firebird would not be effected, never got around to confirming that myself....anyways, problem solved for now. CK

I can tell by all the responses I recieved that this was well up there on everybody's "things I care about" list, but nonetheless I finally figured it out myself. So for those who might have had the slightest bit of interest or sympathy: The offending hijacker was "view.atdmt.com". Zeroing...

Yep...its quite responsive again. Now we just have to drum up some interesting topics on the computer board.

The look lacks "professionalism" in my opinion. I find it harder to scan the board and to pick out information. It feels cluttered and less inviting. Quotes, links etc are a pain in the ass. I'm wondering how I feel in about it after a weeks time with it....I'm also wondering if SR's going...

...the warrenty web check yes, but I'm still a little suspicious about what the case would be if this drive should break and I call in for a RMA for it (i.e. is there any fine print I'm missing somewhere). I guess that this thread, as its been transformed into, goes to show that Caveat Emptor...

Okay, I edited the host file to get rid of the Intel Centrino add (most likely offender considering the 80211 reference) but no dice - Intel ad is gone but the tex_elite_80211_lb thing still seems to hijack the page and render the back button useless. Very annoying. CK

Since Xbits updated their website about a month ago, the back button has become disfunctional (using ie6). If you look at the back button history it shows "tex_elite_80211_lb" and then below it the Xbits page. What the heck is tex_elite....? I checked the source but no reference to it, and...

How come there's no black plastic ring thingy around the socket?

fool, I recognize that, but I think that it is something I am willing to sacrifice. yes there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on

It does seem faster....Not sure if I like it - IMO, its hard on my eyes (maybe the screen is too "busy"?...also, it kinda reminds me of XP's Luna blue - which I'm not to fond of (like many others))...but I admit that I'm starting to get used to it already.

I had wondered about this too. But with my recent Maxtor RMA, the brand new drive they sent (after I RMA'd the RMA) showed up with one year warrenty - or so says their website warrenty check. CK

they.

The Leafs suck....Hats off to Philly to played great all series. I'm a huge hockey fan, but after I turned the game off mid way through the 2nd period tonight, I came to the conclusion that I should do away with hockey (and most other sports for that matter) on a semi-permanant basis . I've...

Its probably stipulated in the DMCA somewhere.

Yes Brazil was good...been a long time though, so the memory is a little fuzzy. Agree about the score for Last of the Mohicans too (esp. the end chase scene up the mountain side) - Unforgiven (closure to all the spaghetti westerns). - Aliens (one of the best sci fi action flicks) - Shawshank...

I guess now is a good time for the Islanders and Bruins to schedule their annual team golf tuna-mints too.

Yep, he got smoked. I wonder if he'll test for concusion today....during the 2nd intermission he told Scott Oak that the hit came a little late .... not like I haven't seen him do that before himself I suppose it makes up for all the glorious opportunities they had He got a piece of it...can't...

GO LEAFS GO

Never knew that....and upon closer inspection of wdc's site: External Drives > Firewire Accessories > 3 port, 2 port, cardbus CK

Was that supposed to be Pacific Digital maybe?

As an aside, it seems to me that mobile digital audio has been in suspended animation for the last little while. I'm rather shocked that there aren't a whole host of feature packed solutions out by now. CK

I have to admit, I started a SR bashing thread a couple of months ago. But at the time, I truly felt that the atmosphere in the computer forum (which is the only one I visit there) was beginning to get hostile....perhaps it was just christmas time stress etc (my own, and in general). Anyways...

It does, (max @ stock values) 49.4W vs. the Duron's 60W. CK

Gary, do you have some sort of rotating schedule for your different personas? Or do you just randomly choose to be "i" one day, "splash" the next, and so forth ? CK
