ESS ISA cards have impressed me too in recent times. Windows XP does a fine job of loading ESS drivers and running that little card. But, as others have mentioned, with the advent of onboard sound, add-in sound cards for the average user have gone away.

San Francisco: a city with extra-ordinary people. For your daughter and son-in-law, I wish the best. Law school is nice, but being witness to, and enjoying the life of a newborn is unimaginable (hectic & enjoyable). I certainly hope that grandfather Flagreen and Uncle Koggit have the pleasure...

Ooops, thinking out loud again. So Flagreen, if you may answer, where does this beautiful new addition to our planet reside in California?

How unusual. It's rare that people (especially in California) name their child Owen. Let's see, with a name like Owen, you could end up with initials like ONO, or OHM.

Although not a Journeyman, I'll be happy to accept an all expenses-paid to Ballarat to properly wire the Redhill shop and the Kings roost. :mrgrn:

I'm not sure if this makes a difference, but I was running MP processors. In addition, I was not overclocking. I wonder if overclocking is making your AGP card hotter, thus reflecting off of the CPU?

Wow. :D

Ah, so it pays to be patient with the upgrades (MS is not alone).

I had a pastel lime-green couch in my house at one time. It was round, with nicely matching red pillows. It went well with the red shag carpet, red curtains, and black and white striped couch. That was 25 years ago, but it was in style (not that I am anymore), but that Geo owner is attempting...

Pradeep, what kind of download speeds do you get?

What a waste of time. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being best, I'll rate it a huge and obnoxious: ----------------------------------> 0 <---------------------------- Resolute and Unanimous, Buck

It should read: "Where is The Grammar Police?" The name of this forum contributor is: The Grammar Police. Just like we would say, "Where is Tea", or, "Where is Tony Wilson", we would say, "Where is The Grammar Police".

Where is the Grammar Police?

hehehe - No, I don't like sleeping on rocks and I didn't. I slept inside the tent with an air matress and my sleeping bag. The terrain may seem really rocky, but it wasn't. The rocks just end up there because that area had been used plenty of times before us as a camp site. People will get...

Good point Will. Plus, some hacks are just reads, such as confidential information (e.g. credit cards, employer data, social security data).

So, would it be worth setting up a new backup location in Ballarat? If the entire process could be automated (zips and multiple copies), why not? Perhaps one of the copies made by Tony gets sent to Handruin at 12:00pm?

My ISP did close down port 80, so my old websites went down for a bit until I switched them over to something else, like 8080 or 8085.

Yes, well done Coug. We look forward to another thousand posts.

I think Redhill should pay Mercutio to come out and set this whole email system up.

What is our present backup solution?

Sorry Clocker, the board has the same features as other mainboards and the white PCB reminds me of a dirty computer. At one time I had leased out some computers to a construction site. Most of the work done in the vicinity of the computers was concrete and plaster work. When I got those...

California, Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, Inyo National Forest.

This is from a few years ago and several pounds lighter.

Pffttt! Liar! I'll go back a few years and find a picture or two proving that I wasn't always an overweight sloth!

Quite right Bartender. One of these days I'll have to show one of those obscure pictures like Koggit did, that'll prove my youthfulness. Just a word of caution Tea, I've seen what your type look like as they age, and it's not so cute. You're gonna make me look slim! :)

Nice color combination, typestyle, type size, and logo.

Do you have a Floppy Drive, CDR-W, and another (extra) Hard Disk Drive? Then there isn't much use for the Zip drive. Did he at least give you some media?

Francisco, Visit this website and give them a call about your situation. http://www.granitedigital.com/catalog/index.htm

i, that price is about twice as much as I'd sell LGs 32x10x40x and I would even throw in Roxio 5.1, a manual and cables. :)

Just a question Francisco, why can't you use an external HDD like FireWire or USB?

So, I tried an English beer: Olde Sullfolk English Ale. Typical tasting ale (I'm sure the Brewmaster wouldn't want to hear that) with a deep rich color and a refreshing taste. This is a blended ale, they mix ale that has matured for 2 years (OLD 5X) with new ale (BPA) to get their taste. As...

As a temporary measure, I just fired up an Athlon XP system. I put in a 1800+ but overclocked the FSB to 140Mhz, so now the BIOS reports it as a 2000+. I don't know how long this will last.

Does that mean that the BIOS has the LS120 option? Sorry for asking so many questions, but this topic interests me.

Sorry Merc, Windows98 doesn't need drivers for LS120s. Are you able to create a system diskette (FORMAT A: /s)?

Mercutio, Is this an internal EIDE/ATAPI drive? Is there an icon for this product on the taskbar or somewhere else with some tools for making a Startup Diskette?

Although in a slightly different vein of the topic at hand, this article has some interesting information regarding synchronous and asynchronous CPUs. Since I am not an electronics expert, reading these types subjects fascinate me.

Mercutio, I would love to run that test, I just can't see spending the money right now.

This is a great picture from the German Heise publication: c't Larger versions of this image can be found here.

The Elijah Craig Bourbon that I have is 18-year old, not 10. I tried a couple of Scotch beers, one is call Fraoch and the other is Scotch Silly (both are ales). Fraoch Heather Ale has been made in Scotland since 2000 BCE (or at least this Celtic recipe has been used for that long) and has...

Depending on the occasion, my drink of choice will change. Nevertheless, when all is said and done, my favorite alcoholic beverage is Bourbon (usually with ice and possibly a touch of water). There are several brands that I enjoy and a great deal that I have yet to try. My absolute favorite...

No need for that Handruin. If one or two drinks doesn't make flying easier without getting you drunk, then it is not worth going. Drive to Key West instead, have some good Rum Punch; eat some nice fried conch fritters and listen to some Soca Music, and you are somewhere else.

Having F@H power improve with XP processors would imply that this software is somewhat dependent on cache. As far as electrical speed goes, 1 Ghz is 1 Ghz. Perhaps someone with a better CPU knowledge can help.

Handruin, Dual AMD systems are great if you are going to use the power. But think outside of the barn, how about starting a rackmount system?

I like the Bartender's job. Tending bar seems easy enough.

I just hit the very edge. I was busy doing some graphics when I attempted to come in. There were page loading issues for about 5 minutes and then all was resolved.

I could never approve of an affair, it is unacceptable, dishonest, selfish, and disobedient to an agreement you entered when accepting your wedding vows. If an affair occurred, and your mate is truly repentant, I can see the possibility of forgiveness – although that particular marriage...

Quiet bars and quiet corners; bars are not for picking up women in my opinion. Bars are for socializing, entertainment, and relaxation. If the bar is too noisy, it will not be relaxing. If you feel obliged to watch some sporting event with a bunch of hooligans, it is not relaxing. You should...

I can't believe that I sent Time audio files in WMA format and at a 64Kbps sample rate, after finally getting the clue that he's an audiophile. My apologies mate. If you can find the album with the same songs for better quality, please do.

You read my mind.
