    How to Increase Your FAH Score(s)

    I've dial the FSB around on a PC while it was running under a heavy CPU load. I never had any ill side effects. I didn't do it too much, but it did work and the PC did not crash. Stereodude

    Why hide the forum?

    Hmmm well you guys have that hidden really well. It looks like it's a section heading for the box that it's in, not a link. I'd mod the page to have the "link" border around it. Stereodude

    Why hide the forum?

    Either I'm blind (which could be possible), or this forum is completely hidden from the front page http://www.storageforum.net Is there some reason why there is no link to the forums here? It seems kinda odd that the URL is to Storage Forum (note the forum), but you can't get here unless you...

    What is up with Windows update ??

    Well if they can actually do it we'll see cracks to fix that problem. I have a legit copy of XP that's still in the box. I chose to install a copy of XP Corporate which does not have the beloved WPA. I legally own XP, but I have chosen to deny M$ and their WPA a foothold on my machine. The...

    Sol: can you send me a VSEEK file on your JB please?

    Ok, I can do that, but I'll need to know how to tell it what drive to test. The PC with the two 1200JBs in it has 4 other IDE HDs. I guess I could unplug the others, but I'd rather not. Stereodude

    Sol: can you send me a VSEEK file on your JB please?

    If a system has multiple drives how to we know which one it is testing? Also, will it work with drives that are on promise or HPT controllers? I've got a lot of drives I can test, but there are many in each box. I can provide results for WD4500AA, WD1000BB, WD1200JB, 45 gig IBM GXP75, 80gig...

    Netgear Gigabit NIC...Should I Use it?

    You need a Netgear GS504T or a GS508T switch. The first has 4 ports of 10/100/1000. The latter has 8 ports of 10/100/1000. Prices are about $600 for the 4 port model and $700 for the 8 port. Dell has sold some 8 port models for around $400 if I recall correctly. Stereodude

    This sounds like too much trouble to get 5.1 sorta working on an Audigy. I'm glad I don't have this problem. I have a DD/DTS receiver that does all my 5.1 decoding. The Philips Acoustic edge does a decent job with 5.1 also. It can expand any source to 5.1, even the line input or microphone...

    Digital camera

    Thanks for the lesson in basic photography. :roll: I know all about F stops and the aperture of a lens. What you missed in my original post and still don't seem to be getting is that F-2.4 is the largest possible aperture at the widest zoom setting. It is not the only aperture the camera can...

    Digital camera

    Apparently you don't know much about cameras. The F2.4 is largest aperature at the 8mm setting on the zoom and the F4.8 is the largest at the 24mm setting of the zoom. It can get smaller than those numbers. As for the EOS digitals they are SLRs. They do no come with a lens. Hence they do...

    A tall glass of Merlot: 2002 Nissan Maxima style

    Well I got the car back today. The dealer (not where I bought it) was polite about the whole thing. They didn't accuse me of doing anything to the car. They overnighted in a new control arm from the parts warehouse. They checked out the other side to make sure it didn't have a bad weld also...
