Volkswagen always had a problem with balance, and to some extent, I think they still do. They’ll make a car that performs like a bee looking for nectar, but put oversized switches in the oddest place for things as simple as the rear-window defroster. On the flip side, they were good at...

Any URL? Thanks.

France Lays Claim to Cricket Compliments of the BBC

German’s do make some very good automobiles (you may expect that I’m biased due to my background, but my statement is based on my experience as an automotive mechanic). However, they have always had their quirks, and as of late (that past 5+ years), their idiosyncrasy has been electrical woes...

She'z an orangutan, would you expect her to be computer savvy?

AMD probably doesn't like it, but they're not in a position to make enemies at the moment.

If you wouldn't be so quick and strong I'd give you a good spanking . . . and yes, I do accept your apology. Thanks Tannin.

Time to hide.

Congratulations Adcadet, and I second Jakes motion - a round of drinks for the doctor!

:rofl: That two-stroke East German wonder-wagon is even useless as a generator or a lawnmower. You could improve the performance by removing that ancient motor and putting in its place a wiper motor from a Mercedes.

How would that utility do the trick?

I don't mean to rain on your parade Coug, but I'm not a big fan of BMW, although I like the M Coupe. Even though the Z3 is the convertable version of the M Coupe, the look is much different. The hard top on the M Coupe really emphasizes the length of the front hood, which, for me, makes for a...

Tannin (note the definition for the word) was not upset when he made that statement, he just tends to have an astringent personality. His flat-mate Tony is worse (that is why he doesn't post anymore), but his other flat-mate Tea is much better. Her personality is much more realistic (why do I...

Thanks for the link Coug. Usually I can get away with just motherboards, but if it is something else, then a combination helps. For example: Enclosure and CPU HDD and CD-RW Motherboards and CPUs seem to be a dead give away that a system is being built. Besides, who just buys a CPU from a...

Nothing new for my tastebuds, quite enjoyable nonetheless, I just went through a four-pack of Tetley's (it took 5 days; I'm not a drunk), and now I'm sipping on some Froach Heather Ale. This past weekend a German friend and I went through a six-back of Paulaner Oktoberfest Maerzen bier -- that...

Sorry Coug, I don't have the official verbiage. But, my distributor won't sell it to me for just buying any piece of hardware. It needs to look like I'm building a system, so motherboards is usually a good way of going, or buying an enclosure and something else. I just order certain pieces of...

Nice story Dozer, I'm sure the guard didn't appreciate Cliptin's singular wit. :D

Clocker, have you set both the Trigger Port and the Public Port to 500? Have you disabled "Keep Alives"?

Great work Doug. The inception of this new site and the move to our new host has really kept you busy (along with your regular life), I think I speak for all when I commend you on your work and the efforts of volunteering your time and energy.

I would recommend the MSI GeForce4 MX-440T or MS-8866. I sell this retail card for under US$90.00. Bandwidth is reasonable at 6.4GB and can handle a resolution of 1600x1200 at 85Hz. It has worked exceptionally well for the customer's you outlined Tannin. You can also include those who play a...

Have you looked at your avatar lately?

Horny cow!

But why?

I don't know Handyruin, it depends how sour the wine tastes. :)

Nice layout Blake.

Wooooweeeeeeeeee - 7200-rps; access time must be amazing!

Sold! Seriously, those are very good points Mecutio. But alas, that fan on the Northbridge! How about just using a well designed heatsink?

Don't forget NRG, lift with the legs and don't twist your shoulders separate from your hips when you swing that thing out the window. :D

Make sure that the diskette is bootable. Not having the command interpreter means that either command.com, io.sys or msdos.sys is missing. You can always sys your floppy.

NRG, you shouldn't be required to install the RomPAQ. If you boot to the first diskette, you should be able to access the BIOS and set up your drives that way. The RomPAQ is NOT the BIOS, it is diagnostic software and a UI for the BIOS (which loads when you boot to the diskette anyway).

It just might. You're not trying to install the diagnostic partition, are you?

Ah yes, you made a bootable diskette under Windows2000, so it is prompting for the System Files. Can you create those diskettes under Windows 98 or 95?

NRG, are you running Windows NT?

I agree . . . oh, wait, there is no one to layoff in my company.

That sounds typical for i, me wouldn't act that way.

Good choice Mercutio. Those Gigabyte boards would be great for those new systems. :D

No particular experience with that model, but I have had good success with the DI-614+ model, which is the 22Mbps wireless version. I usually end up connecting systems through wireless and hard-wired connections.

I'm getting these from one of my distributors in California: ASI. At least I'll be able to sell these boards for $69.00, which is a good price considering it is a very competent motherboard. I also like the box, no fancy colors or strange looking creatures depcited on the front - just...

Yes, I've seen you brag about them. As I'm sure you would expect, I'm not interested in overclocking. I'll have to check the memory compatibility though. My memory is not cheap, I just want to make sure.

This challenge became more difficult, as memory prices are on the rise. I did however, get a good price on some Gigabyte GA-7DXE boards. Those are the AMD 761 Northbridge with the VIA 686B Southbridge boards. I just ordered a few samples. Two of my Asus boards failed on my. One is DOA and...

After further discussion, upon motion duly made and seconded, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: RESOVLED, that Pradeep is a gentleman.

It still makes for a great story.
