I had more success with GDivX 1.9.9.2 than with DivX 5.03. Lower CPU util. %, so crashed less often (like in "didn't crashed at all") on an humble Athlon classic. I'm just writing this in case you would like to try.

Guys, my slowdown occured on the 22nd : yesterday. Today, although I haven't been on the web all the afternoon, I haven't had any trouble with my connection.

I thought it meant the same thing as unchecked. Learning how to write a language I never speak is sometimes tough.

I found out what's the problem. I have "favorites", but only with the plain 0.7 version. The SP1 makes them vanish. There are no un-tickled option to enable them once the SP1 for 0.7 is installed. Too bad. Adios K-meleon.

I installed K-meleon 0.7 and the SP1 for 0.7 this morning. Everything's fine with this little browser, except for one thing : I don't see any place where I can manage or even see bookmarks. Apparently, there ARE no bookmarks in K-meleon. Or am I just blind? During the installation process...

The bunch of retarded basta...! Galeon 1.2.7 instead of at least 1.2.8 or 1.3.2. I think I'm better of with Mozilla under that distro. Upgrading Galeon is too much of a pain.

Cliptus didn't mind people making fun with his nick in the past. I don't think he will now either.

I downloaded and install this thing this evening. I was sure it would be inferior to Mandrake 9.1 RC1, since most of the packages weren't as up-to-date as in the blue Linux distro. I've not been using it for very long, but I can say that so far, I've not been disapointed. First, fonts are way...

I've had great difficulties to reach most web sites around 16h00 ET, although now everything's just fine. Last time it happened, it was because of Slammer. Did the web suffered from another DoS attack today? Or is it just the tempest that's now raging outside in Québec that's causing this...

So, humm....Douglas, are you going to buy it or not?

Forget my previous question. I just registered. If the performances of SCSI devices is better and if I can disable enough of the bloated services to make it bearably fast, .Net won't be that bad on only one of my boxes. There remains the issue of the shitty PA, which still bugs me quite a bit.

Can't access SR right now. Where can I get that .Net special edition yet(either Enterprise or Standard)? I have a SCSI rig that's just waiting for an OS that can handle its drives properly. Even Win2K doesn't, at least not for the small files transfers. It feels slow too. SP3 and all the...

It is a known problem with the client for Linux. There seems to be an incompatibility between the client and glibc 2.3.1. See that thread. The client ran fine when I had Mandrake 9 beta 3, but it gives me the same "segmentation fault" that you get since I upgraded to Mandrake 9 RC1.

It refused to defrag my three partitions using 16K clusters under Win2K. I'm using the trialware version.

No support for larger-than-4K clusters :(

The few times I've had things to ship to U.S. customers, they had no customs to pay, while we have to pay one when importing stuff from Bushy land. Unless this thing is marked as having no monetary value...

I AM NOT A CANADIAN! (and therefore not a canuck either...or a moose) Putting Kazaa with all its spywares on my PCs is against my religion. Every damn broken computer I'm asked to repair has that POS software on it and it's more often than not the cause of the problem(s). I say no to Kazaa.

From what I read, the nForce2 chipset is faster with DDR333 than with DDR400 if you run you FSB and memory bus sync, so I won't bother with PC3200 on that platform. Apparently, the chipset automatically set back to less agressive timings when the FSB runs above 166MHz DDR.

Thanks mister Nut. I'm pretty much sold to Nero though, especially since it comes bundled with the main CD writer brand I sell. I would be curious to compare it to Stomp's software, but I don't have 40U$ to spend on it when I get Nero for free.

And with the prices of DDR memory these days, upgrading the paltry 128MB that comes with that box won't make your wallet bleed.

I would go for a Xeon 2.4GHz, even if it's 100$ more, so when you'll buy him a twin brother, the overall system (dual 2.4GHz Xeon instead of dual Xeon 2.0GHz) would be noticeably faster...and would beat the one of Bill ;-) Would I be sure that Dell uses Cheetah 15K3, I would choose to go with...

In fact, the RAM prices have fluctuated a lot during the last few months. As Stereodude wrote, the DDR SDRAM prices are falling these days, but since they are at they lowest level ever, I don't believe it will last for very long. SDRAM prices have hit their bottom this Fall, probably in...

James, For an explanation about the differences between the various Radeon 9000 and 9000 Pro, I suggest you to read this comparative article at X-bit Laboratories. They compare the performances of the Radeon 9000 varaint to the Radeon 8500 and a GeFarce 3Ti200. About the Radeon 8500 and 9100...

Well, on a dual Xeon 2.2GHz, it's quite difficult to feel a difference between two OSes, given that you have plenty of free juice before you'll notice the bloat of your softwares. I'm pretty sure Solaris would fly on this box too, even though it's hardly a symbol of lightness.

Shit, see what you've done? I'm stuck in my computer room, head no longer passes through the door opening. While still a tad on the expensive side, 175AU$ would make more sense. Prices in canuck land are generally around 5-10% higher than in the States, while prices in wallaby land are well...

Slower than W2K Server? How shameful! Have you tried to disabled a few unused services to see which ones cause the slugginess? I have both W2K Server and Professional here and I have noticed that Server is something like 20-30% slower on the same systems than Professional. I haven't played...

AFAIK, there's no Pro or non-Pro version of the 9100. It's just sold under a 64MB or a 128MB configuration, with the memory of the 64MB version clocked 30MHz higher than the one on the 128MB version. The 9100 "Pro" James saw was probably only a typo, done by someone thinking too hard to the...

Great! I already have the ISOs on CDs since early this morning and I was about to install it. Thanks for the news, it'll make my life easier.

You must be kidding me! I can have the exact same card (Sapphire Atlantis 9100 64MB) for a mere 108$CDN here. The 128MB version goes for 138$CDN too and Fush saw the 128MB for 82U$. I just can't believe the same card sells for 315AU$. It's a rip off! I know AU$ worth less than U$ and even a...

Of course I always su me before installing something in the Xterminal. Well, you've seen how helpful the Install and readme files were. I tried rpm -Uhv blablabla.rpm and it failed. No kidding. I'm so surprised. Wonderful program isn't it. Many new features...like an rpm/installer that...

[thread hijack] You see, that's my problem when I try to upgrade my Galeon 1.3.1 to the recently released 1.3.2. They say I just have to compile it. Fine. How? I downloaded the tarball into my /home/Coug (that's me)/tmp/ and I uncompressed it, which has created another sub-directory called...

The Radeon 9100 that Fushigi said to cost 82$ a few week ago is a far better card than any GeFarce 4MX, AGP 8x or not. The Radeon 9100 is a renamed 8500 with a few additional features. Although I haven't seen any 9100-based card sold under the ATI brand name, I know Sapphire makes one...

It is kind of disturbing, since I bought stuff from the U.S. several times in the past from online sellers. Unfortunately, the article doesn't mention what store has been hacked. I hope it wasn't one I bought from.

9.1 RC1 has been released, but it's not yet on all mirrors. You can download yours from : ftp://ftp.ciril.fr/pub/linux/mandrake-iso/i586

There's a lot of FUD on both side in this thread. An over-heating TNT2-M64? ATI current cards lineup having drivers weirdness? Given the choice between a TNT2-M64 and a Radeon 7000, I would make Mercutio smile and opt for the ATI. Although not top-notch (not up to the level of the 8500 and...

Not sure, but I think the Xpert 2000 was a Rage 128 Pro with a narrower memory bus and slower memory chips.

The good news is : U.S. oil stocks will soon be depleted. The bad news is : Bush is extanding U.S.' control over new oil-rich territories, so fossil burning will last quite a while again. The pipeline in Afghanistan, Irak soon. I hope you didn't truely believe his motive was hunting...

What bugs me with this browser is that its creators are clueless enough not to provide any how-to guide on how to upgrade or install it. Or if they did, they hide it pretty well cause I still haven't found it. I had, like usual, errors when I tried to use the rpm, while there's no clear...

You can get the stable (1.2.8) or development (1.3.2) from Galeon's website. No real press release about them, just a mention that you need at least Mozilla 1.3a in order to run them. I hope Galeon 2.0 will come soon.

Press release. Thanks to Buck for the news.

151 was already taken, yours' 152.

On the bad side, I think there's even more space for commercials than before. It might very well be the real motive of the change.

Not as drastic of a change as the facelift that occured at Tom's Hardware, but a change anyway. http://www.anandtech.com I like it.

I might not have had the 1000th post, but I own the 10000th view of this thread. :D My stats probably won't drop as much as I anticipated afterall. I'll stop letting my SCSI box work 24x7 though, as it probably is the one that eats the most electricity. It's just a T'bird 800MHz, so it's not...

But didn't we used the plain Nuke before Xoops arrived? OOOhh...the mighty download section is coming. Download.com, PHEAR ME!!!

Oh and I don't know why, but I'm fairly familiar with their front page. Strange impression of déjà vu, just like if I visited (administered) something similar in the past. Weird, isn't it?

Version 0.2 of XPde has been released and can be downloaded from here. It's based on X11 and (obviously) looks like a Windows XP desktop, but under the Linux operating system. I'm downloading it, but given my skills and legendary patience with Linux, I probably wont be able to make it run on...

Groltz, I only hope you're not "Preacher Boy" at Ars Technica. He's full of shit. Thanks for the link.

No. I'm just reporting what the Winblows guru wrote. Since I rarely sell WinbloatXP, I don't have a CD near to try it (I have several Winbloat2K CD lying around - all legal OEM copies). I would like to know if anyone could confirm.
