    Fastest platform to compute Genome@home?

    I don't know about that i, my 386sx is pretty quick. Is sx6 quicker because the number comes after the letters? :roll: BR

    Fastest platform to compute Genome@home?

    Call me a traitor, but I haven't switched over to G@H yet. I'm still calculating RC5 for my own stats.

    Tyan S2460 Troubles

    Thanks for your input. My next step has been to swap out the GeForce256 Video Card (which was not on Tyan's HCL) and dropped in an Inno3D Tornado GeForce2 MX-400 64MB. The problem seems to have greatly lessened within Windows. However, the issue (which I don't think I previously described...

    Video Cards - Your Thoughts

    Which video card do you find to be the most successful with P4 and AMD systems that bodes good drivers under Windows 9.x - XP? This question of course, is to fulfill the needs of the average user; the ATI Xpert 2000 to Geforce2 GTS folks. Obviously, there are other cards; for extreme gaming or...

    An open letter to Hewlett-Packard

    According to HP, Walter Hewlett is the cornerstone of all their problems! But have no fear, an HP document is quoted as saying: "Carly Fiorina was brought in by this Board to drive change and put HP back on path to leadership." Paul Hales makes light of this information in connection with the...

    An open letter to Hewlett-Packard

    i, that is priceless. In my experience, there is no one intelligent person or company that could deliberately act in such a brainless manner. Only those hallowed with such traits at birth could provide such a chain of unintelligent responses. I would presume, that the first email was parsed...

    Tyan S2460 Troubles

    Believe me Tannin, I'd love to do all that. The problem is that I'm dealing with WindowsXP. I've already reached the limit of installations with this copy. I have to call Microsoft for a special key to install it again. I've gone through 5 installations because it was originally so buggy...

    I much rather preferred when the hosting was left up to me! But my lovely ISP decided, 'uh, we'll take away your static IP, go dynamic, and renew the lease every 3 days'. Up yours and sideways! Anyway, they rubbed me the wrong way, oh, and they raised the price too. But it is still cheaper...

    Epox vs Soltek

    Pretty boring monologue for CCN Sport. Either way, I have not tried that board yet. However, I did have an easy time with the ECS D6VAA - dual socket 370 board (PIII 933EB), ATI Xpert 2000, 512 MB PC-133 RAM, Creative Labs 52X CD-ROM, Tekram SCSI Card, WD45FN drive, and a WD PHD1000 drive...

    Soltek SL-75ERV

    No, it is the VIA Apollo KT266A but it supports Athlon XP 2000+ and higher CPUs. It also comes with 6 PCI slots and it is larger. It is also supposed to come with more overclocking settings, but those don't interest me. BR

    Bankrupcy: who do you dream about?

    Tannin, it's awfully kind of HP to allow for video upgrades. The Compaq iPaq with the intel i810 chipset doesn't allow for video upgrade; integraded as integraded gets. But please don't get me wrong, I would never recommend either Compaq or HP to anyone. I also prefer not doing repairs on...

    Handruin, I think the idea is fantastic, but the task is unwieldy. Perhaps with good cooperation, plenty of time, and practical input, we could manage such a commission. I’ll participate, but I cannot unequivocally prescribe the amount of data or time that I could supply. BR
