Different question produces a different answer. I wanted Clocker to vote on clocker for this question.

Whenever I look at the subject for this topic, I just keep hearing "It's springtime for Hitler and Germany" From the Producers.

How do you get to write-in a name??? I choose clocker

Cas you are correct, it is 4096 bits or 512 bytes. Thus my analysis doesn't hold water and that inefficiency goes away. There is still inefficiency but many frames are larger than 512 bytes and thus for most purposes, it won't be the big deal I thought it was. Thanks

I've been studying the Gigabyte standard and I don't see how you can get much more than 4x using half duplex copper. The reason why is that the GB standard takes standard ethernet frames that are a max of 1522 bytes long and adds filler (the standard call this a carrier extension) to the end to...

If you look at the ATA command set, there isn't a unified method of dealing with a cache. Before version ata-4 all you could do was turn on/off or set the size of the cache. ATA-5 allows for flushing the cache but it is an optional command. ATA-6/7 the flushing command is mandatory. I looked...

If you need an ear to bend, I'll listen. Email me and I'll give you my phone number. I'm a good listener. Note, it is long distance though and thus may cost a dime or two.

I think the ideal would be to bring those people here rather than take the discussion elsewhere.

I'm sorry but as I read my post I realized that I made a mis-statement It is obvious to me that many drives actually now use a true write cache rahter than just a buffer. There are obvious performance benefits to elevator seeking and that is undoubtably why that decision has been made by the...

I think this topic has strayed slightly from the original post of the danger of a HD cache to HD benchmarking. I'm going to comment of the original issue of the danger of a HD cache. First a read-only cache is not dangerous at all, because the data is still on the HD if the HD shuts down...

That is correct an ultra33

I have a machine running XP will all the drives connected to a Promise ulta33 and all I get when I run vseek is that the extended bios is missing and then it refuses to run.

If you had looked there was already a topic on this item: Intel i845G reported to be very fast according to Dumb Tom. I would would have appreciated it if you had simply added this post to that topic rather than creating a duplicate on the same subject.

On the surface, I would say LCD's would last longer, because there are fewer parts. However, in the end, I don't really know. I don't have any long-term data and I don't know enough about their construction to know what are the normal failure points or even how or why they would fail. I think...

I diagree that monitor size has anything to do with the deteriation. It is the electronic parts that are causing the problem, not the screen. The resistors go from 1% to 5% or 5% to 10%. The insulation within capacitors slowly degenerate over time. As these parts, as well as others...

Tannin, I may not be writing much, but I visit everyday, read everything and write where it seems appropiate. When replacing a working piece of hardware always note that it will be replaced by a refurbished piece of equipment. The replacement may actually be worse (or better) off then the...

Tannin, you left off one other possibility - There is a magnetic disturbance nearby like a unshielded speaker causing interferance. However, the most likely cause is simply the monitor's interior electronic parts have deteriorated somewhat. This is a relatively normal aging process of a...

Does the MB have PCI slots? If so then simply get a promise ide card. It's cheap, simple and it will bypass the 32GB limit without changing the MB.

NAV 2002: It works for me

How did it work with the paint program if the keys were switched?

The fact that it works in paint but not photomax means the problem is probably with Photomax. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the application.

Yes there are 3rd party clip-board applications. The native clip board has limitations to the number of entries which are extended by the 3rd party programs and there are applications that add the ability to organize and label the entries.

Does the Print screen work in any application - i.e try using paint. Does the clip-board still work in other applications? Can you actually use cut/paste with Photomax from a different application? Have you installed a 3rd party clip board application?

I would have put the TNT2 down near the bottom of the list because when the TNT2 was releasted it took so much current most motherboards couldn't deal with it either (Like the GeForce256). It took about 6-9 months before TNT2's worked properly with new motherboards. However, nowdays, the TNT2...

He is obviously using you. If you don't feel like being used, say no. However, if he asks why, be honest: He will never learn otherwise. Furthermore it has been my experiance that when you say no, you can kiss any future dealings with him goodbye. Users, always have easier marks and tend...

I like the top one

Currently DDR bandwidths are PC1600 = 1.6 GBps (8 Bytes x 200MHz) PC2100 = 2.1 GBps (8 Bytes x 266MHz) PC2700 = 2.7 GBps (8 bytes x 333MHz) Current RDRAM bandwidths are Single channel = 1.6GB/s Dual Channel = 3.2GB/s (2-way interleaved) Quad Channel = 6.4GB/s (4-way Interleaved) The...

I have my own thoughts about AMD vs. Intel and their long-term strategy’s. I am going to try to keep my discussion at a macro level: Mainly because I don’t keep the details in my head, because I don’t usually need to and it would take some effort to support, in a rigorous way, what I am...

Looking better, the Q still looks strange, more like an O

Works fine for me.

You understood perfectly and what you are saying is that it was simply an artifact of the cut & paste method of getting it into the post and thus was never a problem. It looks much better without the background box. Thanks Another thing I've notice is that the Q in FAQ looks too large in...

Seems reasonable, but is it possible to email them with a form letter saying that if they don't respond to the verification that they will be removed from the membership list first. The letter should contain an easy link for them to be verified. If we are lucky, a few will click on the link...

I like the new look better. Is it possible to get rid of the white background box around it and make it transparent to the light grey around it. It would look more natural if it wasn't highlighted with the box.

I actually like helping the clueless. I find that I like the grateful feeling that the supply in abundance. I find that the greatest impact on productivity comes from making them in to productive people. The next best productivity enhancer is just the oppiset where I take some macro...

I know some people that can help you with your problem: You know, some sociopaths. But do you really want their help, because while I can get them here, I can't turn them off once they start doing their thing. Yes the people that are actually here are very well behaved and responsible people...

The motherboard specifications (both Tyan and ASUS) say single XP or multiple MP procesors. Reviews give stats for multiple XP processors I've read reports of not being able to run multiple XP processors. Is it that the MPX chipset is picky about the the processors or are there subtle...

Thank you

Could you please widen the text field in the recent news section, so that the titles are not chopped off. Perhaps put the dates to the left and allow the text field extend to the right to the end of the box.

I too voted no. While at this stage avatars are not signifigent, if we ever get successful they will be.

No I actually meant taking plug of a two pin fan and plugging it in backwards: It works just fine for reversing the direction of the motor. With 3 pin plugs, it is easier to physically move the fan. Mark Turner

My suggestion would be to try it. After all, it probably will be no worse than totally disabling the 120mm and the HD fans. Maybe, you will find it will work better with less noise. You really won't be able to tell until you try it. It is generally very easy to change a fan from intake to...

Not everyone has the desire or ability to succeed. Your job as teacher is to give them the opportunity to learn while the actual learning is the responsibility of the student. The process of going from puzzle stage to unconscious understanding is long-term experience. If your goal is to train...

There are three important parts to troubleshooting and all must be taught. The first is the obvious: The details of the computer and how they interact. Without the knowledge that this is a motherbaord and this is a video board and what they do. Without this knowledge, no one will be able...

Try switching your 120mm intake fan to an exhaust fan and disabling the 80mm HD coolers and see if that helps. The point is to force all the air to enter via the HD's cooling them. The next issue is to discover if you short circuit the air flow over the CPU and MB by causing the air flow to...

7 degrees above the interior temp 102 + 7 = 109F, 125 + 7=132F

Yes they exist, here's an example http://www.amtrade.com/pc/ide_portable_box.htm For more examples do an internet search with parallel,port, and ide as the search words with your favorite internet search engine.

I tried to learn Japanese: My conclusion- I was really really bad at learning a new language. I don't think it would have mattered what language I tried to learn; Unlearning English was too hard. I would work and work and work and get nowhere. It was a very frustating experiance.

You shouldn't feel so smug: I started a week after you (2/12/02 vs. 2/5/02), and have moved from 31 to 14 (18561 pts. vs. your 4411 pts.) This is a competition, right? Most of the people that I have passed are not submitting results any more; Just click on the person and see when the last...

I have been noticing several threads that supply aprospective purpose and I wish to supply my own suggestion. Rather than specificly reviewing products or review/reviewers how about specificly reviewing technologies. Answering questions like when is it appropiate to go from ATA-33 to ATA-100...
