According to this it is. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/prork/prdf_fls_pxjh.mspx?mfr=true

It appears that the spammers have returned to SF. Are they are creating accounts manually or is there a bot exploit?

Does that option even exist in a typical notebook BIOS? I was able to install XP in a notebook with an SATA drive, but it was a 2008 model notebook. The main problem is usually finding XP drivers for all the integrated components. Sometimes you have to hack the video drivers for example.

I was kidding, you know? ;)

Yikes! Presumably the price will fall after a while, but I was hoping for less than $300.

My link was posted without seeing your reply. Let's wait a few days - or maybe hours - for David to buy 6 for RAID. :D I really don't need one just now. I have the 500GB WD drive in the computer and 3x500GB Samsung drives in the PSDs. In addition there are 3x320GB and 4x250GB external 2.5"...

Grrrrr! So the 500/7200 appears for the first time today. Yet, I don't have much confidence and my laptop is mothballed for months. Is anyone going to bite?

Cool! :D

The website asks for a secret code or similar, not that I really want to use a beta OS for anything.

When will the Windows 7 be available to the public - late 2009 or not until 2010?

There seems to be a multi-part conversion cycle. First the RAW file is read (low CPU), then some processing occurs that causes the CPU utilization to increase, but it is not 100%. In the next phase the CPU is at least briefly 100% on all four cores. (David may not be seeing that because...

I have been there and done that. Throughput can be increased by about 1/3, but the two sets of files should be on different drives (or perhaps an SSD array :)). Overall it is not worthwhile unless one is processing many hundreds of files, and then the sets must be recombined.

Thanks. That would probably work. However, I am now looking at 2TB drives as an option to increase capacity. The primary 1TB 7200.11 drives should be replaced sooner rather than later.

Gaaah! Stop arguing like little children. This is like the SR B&G was a few years ago when I gave up on that one. :( -Later-

Mine looks like this. The utilization of CPU cores spike to nearly 100% for a brief time during each file conversion in a batch, but not the majority of the total time. Is something wrong?

DPP, or do you mean RIT? I was testing with DPP.

That sucks. I have backup data on some affected drives that are offsite and not easily accessible. I still feel strongly that Seagate should write an easy-to-use Windos/Mac tool for the fix that includes USB/FW external drives as well. If you and others are having problems with the current...

OMG! You can be patient and hold off for a whole month? Anyone want to take bets? :mrgrn:

In CS4, File, Save As... is still only single threaded, as are other major parts of PS. Unfortunately the main plug-ins I use are also single-threaded. There may be newer versions available, but they are probably not worth the cost. I've ramped the clock up to a higher level; it needs to run...

Thursday and Friday we get this tracking update: THE PACKAGE WAS MISSED AT THE UPS FACILITY, UPS WILL DELIVER ON THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY I'm thinking that the package is lost. :mad:

It is gross for sure. :hurl:

I don't know what that is about, since I don't see the original post. I ate 1.4kg of pizzas one night and it was sickening.

Judging by the photo, Kingston is just slapping their label on the Intel X25 series. Good luck with ZZF. My last order was botched so I don't buy from them anymore.

It is better now than yesterday. I replaced the heatsink/fan, updated the BIOS, and adjusted memory and CPU settings. (There are a multitude of settings in there, and a virus is not making the work easier.) I was hoping that the 4-core CPU would be rather better than the 2-core CPU in...

This whole "bricking" fiasco is rather irritating. I am inclined to leave the 7200.11 drives alone, since they have been working perfectly for many months.

...some personal problems for the most part. More later if the reboot is successful.

I bought the quad-core CPU. It functions properly yet results are disappointing. Somehow I figured that would be the case, but I have to learn the hard way. :( Unlike David, et al. I have no good way to repurpose the CPU and RAM, and I'm not looking forward to taking the computer apart yet...

The system is working fine with a later CPU. Another question has arisen. Can I upgrade from a 2-core to a 4-core CPU without the OS freaking out or deactivating?

I have a couple each of the BC-900 and MAHA chargers. Frankly, the BC-900 does fine, especially at low to medium charge rates. The MH-C801D is good for charging 6-8 cells together and I use the MH-C204W for travel. Is the MH-C9000 worth getting if one has the others? I'd really prefer a 4AA...

How can one determine if a drive is bricking; is there a particular sound? Can the firmware be updated after or while a drive is bricking?

I order from thomasdistributing.com. I have several MAHA chargers, Lacrosse BC-900, etc. Some are better for different purposes. Many people like the big 8-cell MAHA with the computerized display, I forgot the model number. Sometimes I use a small 4-cell AA only MAHA charger for travel.

Wow, I hope it is for real. Intertubes?

Yes, we are all waiting for them. Unfortunately I suspect they will be too slow for primary data use.

Oh please, can't we keep politics in another thread? :( BTW, it is beams.

I do visit facilities where we cannot enter with any electronic devices and they check vehicles for explosives and contraband, but it is not top secret or anything like that.

:) It is definitely against policy. It could be construed as illegal if the resources for package delivery are missappropriated. I think it is mainly driven by paranoia after 9-11. We even have to sign a ledger for packages delivered by the mailroom guys.

That can work in a mom and pop shop, but may be illegal in some large companies. There are too many security and liability risks.

USPS home delivery is terrible if one works normal weekday hours. PO has limited hours, so it is necessary to stand in line with the unwashed masses on Saturday morning to get the package. :( Fedex generally has extended hours so one can track a missed delivery and pick up the package at the...

It is easier to just buy the Eneloops. 6x4 AA cells every couple of years is not exactly expensive IMO.

I understand. I have not watched even one commercial US "s*itcom" series in years. So much of the commercial TV is now about low-IQ, humiliating reality shows, or something horrifically annoying like sports, that I have little interest. It is partly because I am outside the primary...

Thanks, but she will order the single-slot Asus one with the same chips.

I'm not planning to use PS CS4 any time soon if ever. If I understand correctly it can use a fancy video card to smooth the interpolated views (i.e., not 100%), which is exactly what I do not want. I quite prefer the aliased images @<100% and know well how they will appear in the output. I...

Obviously you don't watch, but a Google search of those three words will make it clear. ;)

A TV character of course. :) It is the modern equivalent of "Who shot J.R.?"

WTF, Jenny is dead!? I'm confused.

Lets put it this way. If ATI mistreats the workers, I don't want to kow about it. I just want to install the drivers in XP with no problem. Previous card was an X1600 Sapphiro or something.

I am back to needing another video card, because the cooling fan is running very slow, nearly at a standstill and noisy. I blew out the dust, but the bearing is caput after a couple of years. The heatsink is too hot and the GPU may fry soon. :( The card I bought last time for the 30" LCD is...

Spent a ton on 30" displays and had to RMA. I won't try any more of them, because I think only a few different manufacturers make the panels. My old, damaged 21.4" is better than any of them, so I will do nothing for now.

That's what I was afraid of. How does DOS see any controllers without drivers? It seems that one would have to pull the hard drives and attach them to some other, ancient computer. Then I have to find some ancient version of DOS and a USB memory device that supports FAT16? Seagate is lame.
