David: I did a bunch of checking, and, most of the reviews find the 1600 half the speed of the 1900, and, about the same half speed of the XL 800-850, which are half the price. WHY???? Also, since you DO tend to overclock, WHY are you going with a passive cooling solution? I just got my 800...

Sorry, hit the wrong key. Anyway, he uses the printer a bit, copier more, and fax not a ton. I thought laser printers are the way to go, but, after checking on Canons MF 5750, and paying 40 bucks, for something absurd like 2500 pages, I'm not convinced. What combination has the best page per...

Hi I'm looking for a friend, for an all in one, USB connection to a, WHORES, HP-COMPAQ LAPTOP(i SHUDDER TYPING THIS).

Hi I have a friend that needs fax, printing, probably usb, since he's using a HP 1.4 ghz laptop, and copying. He might ship 3 times a week, so, Laserprinting is a question. Still, he likes to read hard copies of everything, so the copying , and printing might require laser quality. Any...

This looks more like the Katana I had a ride on: http://www.sportrider.com/bikes/146_0106_suzuki_gsx_r1000/ Greg

Quick story. Doing 130 in my funny car, down highway one, outside of Carmel, going to LA, at about 3 am. Nearly hit a Porsche 930 doing the same. After that, with about a 300 foot drop, on the right side of the road, I see a flasher, something about road dropping off 10 inches, and I'm by it...

David: Don't do it. One computer guy I know bought himself a bike, and he's now in a wheel chair for life, and can't move any of his 4 limbs, worth anything. He was 22 when it happened. That drive is really a kick. Have a look at something like a Lotus Super 7, or something along that vein...

Thanks, Bozo. I have been called a 'surfdog' before... :wink: Greg

Cultural problems, too. In dealing with my ex, I learned that after signing a contract, we think we have a deal. The Japanese view that as time to start bargaining. A VERY different approach to business. Don't know about Indo, but, for that kind of deal, I'd want cash up front, and...

By the way, this is Outer Log cabins, which is out Wiamea Bay, and to the north. You can see how big the waves are going to be, by how they break at Outer Logs. After breaking out there, they roll into the Bay, with awesome results. Greg

Ok. Waves move at different speeds. The bigger they are, the faster they travel. Swell size is determined by wave height, and duration: Open ocean wave height is monitored by NOAA weather buoys all over the world. http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=51001 By listening to the...

David: Swell speed. 200 miles in 8 hours, for 20 ft, 20 seconds. 51001 buoy, north of Hawaii to Wiamea Bay. Lower duration, and size, lower speed. Best surf session ever. Buoy goes from flat to 20 ft, 20 seconds, in one hour. Due to arrive at 12 in the afternoon. Paddle out with Mark Foo, at...

Timwhit: It's getting to the point the OS lasts longer then the harddrives. :wink: Greg

Thanks all. Funny how computing has changed. Long term OS installs, vs. the old 98 days. Guess I'll leave it as is. Was wondering since trendmicro.com is now offering such a tool, and, even though it is a pain in the ape, my current system has not been infected with anything, thanks to...

Stupid ape, doing a dog imitation... David: Used to watch the Wednesday night races in Santa Cruz, before dusk. Merlin would go out loaded with people, and I mean like the deck was full, and just walk away from all the other boats. It this case, size IS a serious advantage. Merlin was right...

Actually guys, I'm WELL aware of my lack of computer expertise, compared to the group here. I thank you all for tolerating my presence, and, what to you, must often be stupid questions. David: Your boat looks like a mini version of Merlin. I gather it flys downwind? Ken Burnap, owner of...

22 views, no response? No one uses them, or has tried them? Thanks Greg

Hi Do you need any of these registry cleaning programs, and, are any of them any good? Thanks Greg

I've GOT to move. Don't give a shit that I've got a degree in law from the Kalifornia bar Association. NorCal is still the freezing place I left, and, nothings changed, except my mom is senile in a rest home, and, I'm freezing or frying in Walnut Creek. Hawaii, Puerto Rico, don't know the...

I'm waiting for dual cores to go on sale, for the gaming machine. With the advent of dual core aware games, it really helps... Greg

I'm using 5.0, plus patch, and, I've bought the audio upgrade package, as well. Greg

That sucks. I'm likewise having computer and car problems. Seems the oil seals blew, and the car is gushing oil, into the timing chain area, and out onto the muffler and cat. 700 dollars later, I hope it was worth doing. My car has 248,000 miles on it, and, I've had it since new. Don't know if...

Swede: I couldn't get Quake 3 to install. So, I did the install on my XP 32 bit machine, copied the folders over to the 2003 server machine, and it works fine. I can't get PowerDVD to install on 2003, and they say it's not supported. Couple others that slip my mind. Get back to you, when I...

Hi Swede: Nice to have you here. 2003 server is a different animal then XP. Hence the thread. I currently have a bunch of computers running XP, and, what works on them does not usually work on 2003 server. Hence this thread. 2003 Server is incredibly fast, and a joy, but games, and...

Sol I like the control features, and ease of changing resolutions woth the control panel. Could you elaborate on your post a bit, so I could see EXACTLY what features you are talking about, and how to check them? Thanks Greg

Wireless=bads... GS

HMMM. ATI's crossfire X 850 XT appears to connect through a cable between the two cards. Guess maybe I should contact ATI, and see if David's right. Sincerely Greg

The answer is NO. :cry:

Hi I was wondering if anyone had tried crossfire, and, if it would work on this motherboard? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128301 Thanks Greg

Thanks Mercutio. I'm doing it right now. Greg

Mercutio: What ATI drivers do you use with 2003 server? Thanks Greg

Mercutio, that's what's weird. The X1600 HIS card is 150 bucks at new egg, and, I think that was open box. The X850XT from HIS is 180, full retail package with lots of goodies, from Newegg. WEIRD. I'd ordered the X1600, thinking it was close to the 1900, due to the numbering scheme. Then I...

The X1600 pretty much sucks. For a bit more, if you are gaming, the X850XT will thrash it, and, in the games I play, by up to 100%, with eye candy turned on. XL 800 just went south, ati, with passive cooler. I don't think passive is a good idea on that hot a chip. Sincerely Greg

When was the official version 1.2 released? G

Well, Quake is finally Dual processor, and hyper threading aware. "Hyper-Threading Technology: From 1.2 read me: This update enables QUAKE 4 to take advantage of the Hyper-Threading Technology of Intel(r) Dual core processors. Players who have computer systems with this processor will notice...

I would like to say thanks to all of you here for posting, and advising. I was just thinking I haven't bought, or had anything around other then XP 64, that hasn't worked, in a very long time. My list of hated hardware: Apple G3 minitower Any hard drive apple picks. They seem to go out of their...

Just to clear out the basement? I'm ebaying a Dell like that, right now. S

Liposuction. 1200 bucks, accross the street, to get rid of your gut. Greg

I have both RedHat 9, and a copy of 98 Second edition. If you'd like either. or both, just pay shipping. Greg 94598

Thanks!! Fantastic, Mercutio!!! Now, back to watching March of the Penguins. Emperor Penguins are so cool, it's incredible.!!! :mrgrn: :excl: S

Thanks!! Fantastic, Mercutio!!! Now, back to watching March of the Penguins. Emperor Penguins are so cool, it's incredible.!!! :mrgrn: :excl: S

OWWWWW!!!! :excl: :evil: :wink: S

Figured it might work, since it was NT based version I installed. NO. :cry: S

Hi I signed up for a Yahoo email account, and, it to see how it worked, prior to getting gmail. Ive found the amount of porn bulk trash pretty amazing(Mercutio might really like this feature :wink: ) I find at least 10, usually 15 or more, each day, just logging in. Usually the only email I...

Sol: Yep, that was it. Thanks Greg

The other really annoying feature is while trying to download Service pack 1, it keeps locking the computer up, since I'm not doing anything with it. :crap: Anyway to stop that? S

Well, I installed 2003 on a box I'm putting together for a friend. It's going on an old P3 450 MHZ, 512 RAM, Cheetah boot drive. So far, it seems plenty snappy. This guy is even less computer savy then I. Is there a way to turn off the control-alt-delete at the start? Thanks Greg

hmmm, now the link doesn't go to the product. Sorry. GS

PLEASE!!! Apple releases buggy operating systems, expecting their loyal to sort out the bugs for only 129 dollars a year. :roll: WHY would ANYONE expect their free software to work, even at all? S

I had a Fossil Titanium Watch I bought at Sears. I think it 110 dollars. No allergies, and the watch was just fine. Can't find it right now. Cell phone took over the watches place. Probably ebay it if I find it. Greg
