Oh, by the way, once your done making that system work, the customer will upgrade to a 10GB IDE HD and the requirement to install NT4 on the machine. You too can discover the joys of breaking the 512MB barrier without the use of a PCI IDE adapter. It's stuff like this that makes it all "fun"

Merc, You ought to know better - Some Sipps were installed one at a time, some were in pairs and some machines had four banks that had to be equally populated. The last 486 I worked on didn't use sipps at all, but actually 4 banks of actual chips (16K, or 64K chips). I have had to deal with...

Merc, If no cable/DSL then you'll have to deal with ISDN, FR, or T1+. Hey, you are getting a good deal on rent, lets blow the budget and get yourself a T1/T3 (T3=30xT1) and in a few months you'll be the envy of everyone here.

In Salem, Oregon USA it costs around $800-$1000+ USD/month plus the cost of the local tail for a T1 (depending on the provider). E1 is the European 2Mb/s standard and I'm not even sure that any of the WAN providers locally even offer E1 service. Cable @$40/month is a great bargin, considering...

Yes, it could easily be 32K: Depending on you MB, the shadowing increments could be anywhere from 8K to 64K per location shadowed. Also check your AGP memory settings, because any ram used for your AGP video card may not be availiable generally. If you had an older system them ram can be used...

You have better than T1 service. A T1 transmits/receives at 1.544Mb/s or at a maximum of 193 KB/s My AT&T cable modem caps my speed at 1.5Mb/s or about 190MB/s. Most file servers do not have the bandwidth to ship out data at that spped. However, MS has invested in a tremoundous amount of...

If your goal is to learn about configuring an older machine it should not be any newer than a 486 on an AT motherboard with only ISA/LB/ESIA/MC slots (No PCI), no integrated I/O (requires a Multi I/O card and to properly learn about I/O cards it should not have a manuel giving jumper positions...

Don't worry about the manufactures running out or RAM; They'll make more; Like the old Bugels commercial. Buy, Buy, Buy and don't worry about the US govt. running out of money because they will simply print more too, when they start running out. Jake the Dog, Make sure that your bios is...

For Cable, You should be getting 100-200KB/s not 20KB/s. 20KB/s is only about 4x modem speed. My history with MS is that they are capable of sustaining 150KB/s with my cable modem.

Q) What does Dr. Scholls remove? A) 99.999% pure

around 8 hours ago, I was on, just to read messages

To all you writing critics, read this. I wrote it in the early 80's and it is what I believe is the best writing I've ever done. At the time it was very hard for me to read, but after a few decades... Critique away. WHERE HAS ALL THE HAPPINESS GONE Dying is not much fun for spectators...

Should have been SF

Tea, Have you been unfaithful? Folding@home by my count SR should have 14,648.0 points from you (and all users who's names start with TEA...)

A picture of a PDP-8/L It would be nicer if there was no glare and some LED's were lit. But it give you a feeling for what it looked like

People talk about code bloat, but one really does not understand until one has programed on a machine that has only 4K of ram and seen what one can do. Then compare modern machines with their programs and realize how bad inefficiency truely is.

I didn't own it. That was my High School that owned it. In high school I was considered a "computer freek". Sold my first program there, for daily lunch donuts for a school year, to a fellow student that wanted to impress his math class (it calculated logrithums and he wanted to claim it was...

No honeywells, just Northgate OmniKey Ulta's here (I have about a half dozen): By far my favorite keyboard and horribly expensive to replace as far as keyboards go. They are very similar to the heavy clicky IBM's with better function key layouts. I also never use the Windows key - I've never...

I did time's test with a dual MP 1900+ using IE6. One processor peaked at 87% (that was the highest I could make it go, regardless of how fast the mouse was traveling through the menu's). The other processor was continiously ar 15%-20%. At no point could I make the machine freeze.

I want my original computer a DEC PDP-8/L (circa 1972-75) with all the trimmings: i.e teletype & paper tape reader. I have Very fond memories and would like to relive/torcher the past. Anyone here got one that works and I can buy.

Have you ever eaten a Frozen Marshmellow? They squeek.

No miniature marshmellows??? It ain't hot chocolate - it is a poor imitation

Thanks for the complement. I personally think of myself as middle-aged and thereby not old-aged-wise.

Old enough to know not to answer that question. Old enough not to enjoy bithday parties Young enough not to be considered a wise old man.

I still visit SR regularly. I don't post there often though.

I have a C-media MB (ASUS A7M266-d) and I solved the locking up problems by using C-media's drivers/utilites and avoiding Microsofts and ASUS's drivers like the plague. It appears that even the updated MS drivers cause BSOD so when using microsoft's update avoid anything that says C-media on...

You can get ahold of a MS licensing specialist at 1-800-426-9400 (select option 4) to ask your specific question. Because I was curious, I called and asked your specific question and He said that one has to have a license for both OS's even though only one was in use. I do note that by...

Mec, That was for upgrades only and applies to all the MS products that are upgraded. If you are just buying a new license, it will not require you to destroy old licenses, even on the same computer.

From what I can see it is entirely linear. Stanford has a web page giving the values for completing specific work units Current Project Summary. Whenever one completes a specific protein one gets that value regardless of how long it takes. If it takes longer than the deadline, your WU will be...

To deal with the issues involved with a computer being idle because a server is not supplyuing WU's or being to busy to give another WU, try this solution. Run multiple processes on a single CPU machine just like a multiple CPU machine. Have two work units continiously being worked on. When...

My experiance is that the personal lasers are not generally a good deal when buying used. It is the workgroup lasers that seem to be indestructable. The III tends to be too slow nowdays. But the 4's and 5's can be had in the $200 range

It is not a big deal, just a minor inconvienance. I'll just live with it.

At least I'm not the only one!!! This has to do with the front page news not the forums! I tried it with 3 other computers and all have the same identical behavior; it is not computer specific.

This has been the pattern, since the very start. i.e this is not a recent annoyance. P.S. I am using IE6 The link I start from is http://www.storageforum.net/modules/news/ (it is in my favorites) I am never logged in from there and that does not bother me unless I wish to comment on a news...

Are you using 1.44MB media or LS-120 media? It should work with regular floppies and should not work with the 120MB media. However, you can transfer the data from a 1.44 onto a 120 and make a super large bootable floppy. According to http://www.toejumper.net/rescue3/disks3.htm

Perhaps I'm doing it wrong because after I login to the web page I get sent to the "my account" page to change my account settings and to me that is not the natural place to go upon login. Is it possible to set it so that when one logs into the web site, one goes to the home page or returns to...

What has happened to Tea's production? She seems to have dropped of the face of the folding world.

I doubt that the creature is herself mere imagination. To make her seem more alive, I believe that real hands and socks are involved and are actually necessary.

Gotta do something with those unused personal hygene products, since they don't seem to do much for my beard. PS. the gel is almost as good as injesting Vick's Vapor Rub.

Sorry but I'm a tee-totaler. In this thread I'm next to useless. I haven't had any spirits since my 21st bithday 25 years ago. I'm a diet caffeine free Coke/Pepsi man with an occasional Milkshake, or Neslee's Quick (goes well with chocolate chip cookies)

Row, Row, Row your boat gently down the stream. Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily life is but a dream... The song just kept comming after your statement and wouldn't go away.

Sorry to disagree but people that come to the west do not disgard their previous culture immediately and they should not wait to come until after they have been westernized. We must be tolerant of their differences and accept them for who and what they are. Let them keep their culture and add...

Oh, I don't disagree that arranged marriages are not very common and state marriages are very rare. I was merely giving an example of the classic case. If you want another that I think is actually more common, try this -- A marriage, with children, that is breaking apart and the two partners...

The increase in my production has to do with UD. They did an upgrade recently resulting in a program that couldn't connect to their servers for hours to days at a time. Rather than letting the CPU power go to waste, I simply ran both UD and F@H on those machines so that if a program waits idly...

Affairs do not have to break vows, be hidden, or even break anyones trust. There are reasons for marriage that may not include love or even closeness. The classic example would be Kings and Queens that marry for reasons of state and have lovers on the side to satisfy the emotional side. for...

Even with a new purchase, how much should you pay to get a device that has an inperceptable speed gain that only shows up in benchmarks? I would say little to none and thus go for the best buy rather than the best performance. There are issues concerning features, service, warrentee, and...

Sorry to disagree with the posts here, but I think CNET is correct. For most drives the difference in speed is not noticable except through benchmarking. With that said, modern High end SCSI is signifigently faster than IDE and Notebook drives are much slower than everything else. Thus there...

That was a utility from Sys Internals

Try looking at what you like to do in your spare time (your interests). Then look for a club/organization/institution/class that you can participate in. The point is to find women with similar interests and start your persuit there. Pets in parks are fine, if you are interested in pets...
