A lot of KT133A boards were plagued by such problems (Abit's in particular seemed to be problematic). Nonetheless, some weren't. For example (although I know that Tannin will disagree cause he had some sort of weird problem which I can't remember offhand, but for me:) MSI K7T-Turbo -- I have...

What I read is that it uses the same type as 11a. Less interference, but not range...signal power attenuation is greater for higher Fq over distance....just think of your classic "loud car stereo drive by" scenario - what Fq do you hear first and last ? ..... why the low booming bass frequencies...

You mizzed a couple Tea.

But this doesn't rule out your selling something in Chinatown. Sugar daddy Buck, white china pusher. :D CK

Ahhh....I guess then this is why, when W2K first came out, some sort of myth developed that it didn't need defragging - "should have less need" got wrongly equated with no need, as opposed to non journalling FS (9x wise) which needs more defragging? So it would appear, only in regards to this...

I have seen Sivar make mention that "Linux" doesn't need defragmenters, and have occasionally pondered why... google and I have to sit down one day and figure this one out. I take it that this applies to ext3, ReiserFS and XFS too? CK

I think they probably do ... at least that's what I think is implied on this page (at the bottom FAQ#6) in relation to newly purchased DOA cases ... can't see why they wouldn't also make that option available on products that go belly up later on down the road. CK

ahh..I had interpreted it as you wondering if CU stopped rebadging them because fanner/spire/speeze discontinued making them... CK

Blake, who was it that quoted you that price - dbEc or his friend? Was the quote in US$ (now that would be extremely excessive) or Cdn funds (which would still be excessive)? .... Although I did glance through one review last week looking for a link to a supplier and it gives 30US/46Cdn...

Thanks for the feedback Tannin & Mercutio. Merc - I was never quite certain if you had a storefront or not - at least I've never come across, or have forgotten, where you may have mentioned it in the past...just associated your building systems for customers as part of a B&M business. Based...

Out of curiousity, what kind of support should be expected from a good retailer - Buck, Tannin, Coug, Merc? What/How long would you offer support on something like this - or would you also direct the customer to deal with Antec? I don't think I would go with an adjustable I'd just put in a nice...

:D That's awesome. On a much lamer note: before Christmas I came across a link to USB Christmas lights. CK

:lol: Handruin, my apologies that myself, a few other Canadians and our KC friend have hijacked your thread. :) Probably not to far off the mark....Settlement related to Hudson's Bay Co.?... although the French might have made it there first. CK

I can imagine...its always nice to have access to recreational facilities such as that.....the dogs love it too, and it beats the crap out of pounding the pavement with your dog - the task that many less fortunate city dwellers face...I'm certainly glad I have access to parkland and not locked...

Me too....and, likewise, I also have hesitations about living elsewheres. CK

Your generalization would be more aptly worded if you subsituted Buffalo with the US. However, local climate conditions are heavily influenced by geographical features - and Buffalo's relative position, unfortunate for its citizens, places it right in the path of "lake effect" snow. Bodies of...

I went to Shawnee too -> the hugh dog park there with a big pond you can walk around.... CK

And there in lies the truth to my Rant. CK

I've never been personally...but there is certainly not a lot of incentive to go now is there: its flat, it floods, it sits on swamps (hence the squeeters in the summer), its boring, its frickin' freezing in the winter, and they don't have a hockey team anymore...although I admit my opinion of...

Damn right, Dell.ca sucks - as in no variety and high prices. AFAIK, and despite NAFTA, customs/brokerage duties still apply. You would also encounter it in the reverese direction. Olathe? Spent a week in KC (right beside UMKC) and the weekend in Olathe 6 years ago. KC was pretty nice, the...

Merc, I believe I saw some at Best Buy too (I happened to catch a glimpse of what I thought were some thermal pads while doing some hurried last minute shopping this past Christmas - it stuck in my mind cause, at the time, I thought it odd that they would actually be stocking such an item. Upon...

This Spire/Speeze FalconrockII does indeed sound intriguing. If you haven't seen the review already, check out what Dan had to say. dbCe: would you be able to find where he's getting them from? Cheers, CK

7700 series uses the GF2 GTS or Ultra...the 7100 line uses the GF2MX...I suspect a typo because: And that sounds an aweful lot like my Asus 7100 DC's in/out capabilities :) [as a side note, the 7100 DC is a cheap A-I-W alternative, and it does indeed function very well in its TV-tuner/capture...

I saw on AMDmb that LiamC has weighed in with his opinion. I agree. Unfortunately, I don't think that the later part will occur. I've completely lost interest in all the Hammer talk - I'll read about in the fall when it really counts - but I do hope it pans out for AMD. CK

My Cuda IV's, for all intense purposes, are silent. However, if I concentrate hard enough I can discern the spinning noise they produce. But the key thing is that it requires the concentration of effort, otherwise, I find that it is not precieved - I suspect for following reasons: (1) its...

I should clarify that statement -> there is definitely more interesting discussions and less repitition here, and, as Mercutio highlighted in his post in the "Two forums" thread on SR, a much higher SNR as well. That said, my point was specific to techinical discussion. Perhaps it is...

No argument from me on the disparity of the HDD review figures. But doesn't SR rely upon evaluation units to be provided from the drive manufacturers or graciously from retailors such as Hypermicro? Has it ever been their policy to go out and purchase drives they are going to review? - which...

True. But to their credit, how many different variants of the Maxtor drives or out now? WD and Maxtor are really making a mess of things with their "guess what platter density I am" practice. CK

Where's the nagware champions, the fine folks from flashland?

To my surprise, I happened to notice that Sivar has been designated as moderator on 4 of the 5 user forums. This has long been needed and, on the surface, is a positive development for the SR community. Lets just hope that saying about absolute power doesn't apply to Sivar :wink: CK

Hey, Well I was just watching CNN for a couple of minutes to catch the latest news on the Columbia disaster. I was quite shocked that, just before CNN came back online to update what items have been recovered, an HP commercial was aired - you've probably seen it as it showcases a person in...

First thing I saw this morning...very sad to see. Turned the TV off after a short while - was getting sick of the explanations that it wasn't a collision or missile. I wonder if NASA or USAF had any tracking aircraft close enough at the time - perhaps in time we will be given a better...

I suspect it was from this: http://forums.storagereview.net/viewtopic.php?t=8028 Rad has posted here a couple of times (most recently about the IDE PCI card for a friend) and was an old SR forum member too. Some of you may also be aware of his popular web site. CK

In my travels across the web today, I came across a review of the FIC AT31, which is based on ATI's IGP320 chipset. So, for those remotely interested, I thought I'd follow this thread up. In word: Pitiful. Being that, I'll link just to the conclusion. However, I warn you that even spending...

HP-UX.....I can't believe I just wasted my time doing that.

:oops: So I have. My appologies, it was not intentional. Cheers, CK

Couldn't agree more. I Had read awhile back that AMD was redesigning a much more user friendly retention system for the Hammer...I'll believe it when I see it. How true. It makes me laugh when I glance at a new mobo review and spot one of those stupid things...do they still include them just...

While I'm thinking of it: - Thumbscrews - Screwless drive bays. With a little co-operation (wishful thinking) between case manufacturers and the respective optical and HDD manufacturers, I'm sure someone could come up with a universally exceptable drive bay which latches and releases easily...

Excellent list Merc. Just thought of another two: slide out mobo trays and the seperable case-to-mobo cable (Lian-Li)

That would make sense. May I suggest posting on the forums at http://www.analystforum.com/. There will be many L1 canidates who haven't bought their calculator yet, and so I'm sure you'll find a buyer very quick at that price. Cheers, CK

Excellent example. I would have thought otherwise, but having never played with such an arrangement, I'll take your word for it... Your mention of cabling did make me consider another item: 2 optical, 2 HDD, onboard controllers only (i.e. no IDE card system). There has got to be a better...

Just thought it would be interesting to hear some design ideas/wishes you'd like to see become widely incorporated. Feel free to address any item. I'll start with a couple of my own to start: (1) Antec seems to have gotten the right idea with the drive cages that they've placed in their new...

That was pretty funny. CK

For those who won't see my same post on SR: I was looking for some info on some brands of CD media when I came across this German site, CD-forum, that provides a great info database on available discs. Easy to use, easy to search. I know there are others, but this one seems to be more...

That's a good price. The cheapest I found it for last year was $47CDN (sadly I paid $49 for mine :( :lol: ). Were you using it for the CFA exams or otherwise (I have no clue who else might want to use one of these except those in the CFA program). CK

Out of curiosity, which boards have you read/seen that are of the "don't" variety. Are any able to hit 200, and stay stable, with passive cooling? Cheers, CK

I noticed the thread, but like most threads with such descriptive titles, I ignored it. Later on, just before beddy-by time, I glanced at the listings and saw that Mickey posted something in the thread...thinking it might not be a bad thread after all if he was posting something, I...
