Hana Bay? Fantastic! Hana Bay is only rivaled by Mount Gay Rum. Oh, and while you're at it, can you get a few Pupus?

As my first contribution to this thread, I'm presently listening to Ledward Kaapana (Hawaiian slack-key guitar). With the warm and humid weather I'm experiencing, the music seemed appropriate. I can picture myself in the Outrigger Waikiki, sitting at Duke's Canoe club during lunch, or Chuck's...

By the way, that special error reporting system that XP uses is about as useless as a tit on a bull. Almost every incident I've logged is unknown and I cannot be offered any help. All that thing does is tell Microsoft that certain components have compatiblity issues or that you've bough cheap...

I knew I read it somewhere before. Personally, I don't need a glass vacuum tube protruding in my case. I'm all for nostalgia and what is old, but please.

Yes, I've seen this elsewhere. Any Socket A versions?

Several of these:

According to Kristi yes. My experience has been the opposite. Who would you rather trust, a gorgeous, intelligent young lady, or an overweight, barstool warmer like me? Uh, never mind.

It is a shame to have that type of experience. If something similar happened to me, I would react the same way.

Like I've mentioned elsewhere, send them to me. :mrgrn: I think Kristi doesn't like them and has sabatoged your lot of ECS boards.

I'm waiting for the Australian meeting and a few pictures from that event.

That is a nice board Coug, it just happens to be too expensive for me.

Yes. Contrary to others in this forum, I think it is a nice, inexpensive board. I've come to appreciate ECS boards recently as they offer good pricing for a good product. I've sold a few of the K7S5A, K7AMA, and the K7VTA3 boards. None of them have failed or caused the customer any problems.

pffft! I'll use what I want. Whatever you do Tea, please stick with laser printers. P5 has a great suggestion regarding used systems.

Thanks flagreen.

It must come from his fathers side - living on the edge, that is.

Updates nicely organized in one location are always a blessing. Today I did a NT 4.0 Server installation - talk about required updates being a pain. I was glad to have many of them already saved to a local directory and also to have some older updates on CD, such as SP3, IE 4.01, and IIS 4.0...

I was under the impression that Tony was assisting with the FAQ section.

This data is good to have. How do these CPUs compare when arranged in a dual processor setup? Additionally, SPECint2000 is being related in peaks on the graph that flagreen posted. Are the numbers from the INQ peaks as well? Is it worth measuring a sustained or average rate?

Sorry, but for me, it is only a game. I'm glad that you, your girlfriend, and possibly your friends derive satisfactory entertainment from a computer game. For me, watching and listening to people is entertaining. I use the occasional computer game when I prefer quiet time, and nature is too...

Why such woes with Folding@Home? What type of network do you have setup that would cause a crash?

How is this and other parts of the FAQ coming along?

I've never kept track of how often the server provides me with information to cruch. The systems I use for this task are dedicated, thus I rarely visit their status.

Good for you - get that thing replaced and then up and running so you can start crunching!

Which K7VTA3 board are you using? 1.x, 2.x, or 3.x?

Sounds like a bad CPU. So, you have JP3 set to pins 2-3? Also, have you used JP7 to Clear the CMOS?

The K7VTA3 should easily accept the XP 1800+ unless some with either component has malfuntioned. All XP CPUs use the same voltage. You aren't trying to run this CPU with 100 Mhz FSB and a Multiplier of 15, are you?

My guesses about Samsung CD-RW devices was woefully incorrect. I ordered 3 SW-224 products, and two are bad. The lot is going back, and I'm sticking with my regular NEC CD-RWs.

AMD lost the first round, but won the next two Rounds. Currently, AMD is losing the fourth Round.

Sorry Clocker, without it here, that is all I can ask. I'm wondering if the CPU is bad too, but that would be odd.

Clocker, what is the multiplier and FSB set to?

Where is the Grammar Police when you need them?

Duh. I thought he checked the RAM. Yes, you have bad memory. My AMD Athlon 1400C did this to me last weekend. You'll get the same beeps with no RAM as with the bad RAM. (And I haven't even been drinking :( )

Depop = less heads then Prime (Prime is whatever the manufacturer dictates has being prime).

I doubt the 60 GB will be a depop. At a minimum, Samsung will run two prime drives: 120 GB and 60 GB (perhaps one more). From there they'll change the format to hit popular capacity points: 40 GB and 80 GB. Then they'll depop some and make 30 GB 1 platter 1 head, etc. Then they'll combine a...

I don't have a digital picture of myself or scanner handy so here goes the old Mercutio-no-image-solution: Look at my avatar, shave the beard, lose the hat, drop a few years, and you're close. No grey hair yet, that doesn't come until the late fifties in my family, and losing hair doesn't...

What about the Viewsonic A and G series? My A95f is serving me very well.

Nope. How much will they charge for shipping?

Samsung SyncMaster 750s.

The CD-ROM model is SC-152. These smooth-gliding trays remind me of the old Sony 8x models. Not only do the trays glide with ease, there are no rough sounds from the gears as I get with Creative or Sony 52x models.

That is a possible theory Fushigi. When I thought about the idea, the first thing that came to mind is expense. It wouldn’t make much sense for a company that doesn’t have much money, or room to lose money, include items in a drive that aren’t profitable. Adding an extra head is expensive...

It will be interesting to see if WD actually uses 4 platters. For the few flagship models they sell, I wouldn't be surprised if they use a better yield media and 66 GB per platter for a 3 platter 200 GB drive. This, of course is speculation, but they have done it before. Remember their 30...

http://www.wdc.com/company/releases/PressRelease.asp?release=1404 New 60 GB/platter with optional FDB - release date: July. Maybe worthy of the front page?

Radboy, I've had good success with Panasonic and Technics VCRs. The Best Buy in Laguna Hills usually has good prices too.

Having seen one of these drives (from a customer), the mainstream AB is actually 5,400-rpm. The 6,000-rpm that I saw was an AB, but it was Apple OEM (X-Bit tested one of these and theorized about the speed). That tells you what Apple is asking its suppliers to do. I wonder if Compaq does the...

Lately, I've been buying and selling more and more Samsung products. Besides being competitive with their pricing, I'm beginning to enjoy their products. Most of what I’m selling from Samsung is their HDDs, FDD’s, and CD-ROM Drives. I also list them as my primary source for monitors. My next...

Coug, also think about this: The customer may think that spending the $330.00 is a great deal (which it could be), but what is he buying? He's buying old technology, and in a year, he's gonna wonder what it would cost to upgrade his system. When he finds out how much higher speed Katmai or...

Let's see, wouldn't that be dual Slot-1 Katmai running with 512 KB L2 cache at half the FSB? No thanks. If you can build him an Athlon XP system for close to that amount, do it.

Consistent reliability and stability would be nice. I noticed some very rough times today.

Wow, I never had that much discrepancy Clocker. Usually it was about 1 or 2 degrees Celsius for my Tyan S2460.
