    "Hot Doughnuts Now"

    I'll have to agree with Mercutio, Krispy Kreme stuff is not very good. It is greasy and loaded with sugar. Just give me a plain old-fashioned from the donut shop around the corner and I'll be fine (as far as donut consumption goes, I don't participate very much).

    DVD-ROM adoption

    Most of my business for 2002 was for businesses . . . er . . . for companies. Anyhow, they were all satisfied with 52x CD Drives and would pick the option of a CD-RW for backup purposes only. Now, the few home users I had all picked CD-RWs, but still didn't see the need for DVD. They tended...

    I'll visit SR on the odd occassion, but mostly I'm interested in the latest reviews for HDDs. For some reason, I don't read the review, I just click through the graphs, and in particular, look for Server Performance and Legacy Performance. The B&G has turned into a place I would rather not...

    How bloody long should an XP domain logon take?

    Wood enclosures. I can see the case being easy to build, and the rigidity reasonably sufficient. However, what about standards listings related to fire issues or other standards related to frequency interruptions? If I had the appropriate wood-working tools, the project would be tempting.

    Frontpage News Titles - Limitations?

    Why is there a limitation on the amount of characters that can be used in a title for submitted news? Or is this just my imagination and two of the three most recently submitted articles have the titles cut off at the same place because of poor spelling?

    So let me get this Dogman, you care nothing of the aesthetics or weight (you seem like a pretty strong bloke anyway), and they are identical in every other way save the metal used in construction. The only relevant point left in my opinion, is price.

    Just to make things more confusing, this is what Intel lists as their present line of chipsets: Server/Workstation E7205 860 E7505 E7500 E7501 460GX E8870 Performance/Mainstream Desktop 850 850E 845 845E 845G 845GE 845GV 845PE Value Desktop 845 (redundant) 845GL 845GV (redundant) 815 815E...

    Re:Intel Builds In More Built In Obsolescence

    Close, the 845G requires B-1 stepping to support HT. The 845GL does not support HT, whereas the 845GE and 845GV provide full HT support. Unlike the other three G chipsets, the 845GL does not support 533Mhz FSB. The 845E does support 533Mhz FSB, but the 845 (no suffix) does not. The 845 does...

    Re:Intel Builds In More Built In Obsolescence

    Which is, of course, exactly what the author was pointing out. You need a new Intel chipset, the 845PE, in order to get that range of processor support.

    Re:Intel Builds In More Built In Obsolescence

    cquinn, the article on our Home page. Blake, the variety of chipsets isn't the issue presented in the article, instead it is the requirement to upgrade to a new chipset in order to use a newer CPU. This is less of problem with Socket-A.

    Thoroughbred XP1800+ CPUs are priced very good at the moment. Combine that with a Gigabyte GA-7DXE and 256MB of RAM and you have a good system at a good price.

    Qualitiy of Samsung HDD warrenty support?

    Sorry CityK, I do not have any experience with Samsung's warranty replacement because I have yet to have one of their HDDs fail. Now, I only use the SP2001H, SP4002H, and the SP8004H, so my experience may be a bit narrow. Nonetheless, I've gone through a dozen of each this past year without...

    ECS L7S7A (SiS746) - info wanted.

    Sorry Coug, I avoid SIS chipsets. To many problems with them in the ATA-33 to ATA-66 transition days. I think my feelings of SIS are similar (althought not as intense) to Tannin's feelings for ECS.

    Exactly how much does AC97 suck?

    Indeed. My first speculation with the board I have in question was that it uses an ALI chipset and their implementation of the sound controller might not be the best. I just might move them over to a Gigabyte GA-7DXE.

    Exactly how much does AC97 suck?

    Not that I'm against ATI, but it just sparked my curiosity that I have a customer with a Radeon 7000 and has the same problem. All of my other customers get a GeForce something or other from me and never have audio issues. Do you think there is an ATI driver issue? -- This is just wild...
