good ol' Arlo. have't heard that tune in awhile.

smaier69

yeah (*nodding in agreement*).

or a gateway... would be a good way to learn Linux. or a DNS or e-mail or FTP or print server, or a honeypot if that floats your boat. theres lots of simple things you could dedicate to a system like that. you could use it for which could free up resources on other ...

this actually reminds me of a joke i heard a few years back....

Q: you know what the difference is between a scooter and a fat chick?

A: its great until your freinds see you riding one.

times have changed since then, but i guess we shall see.

smaier69

would be a close tie between side 1 and side 2 of

well, all i have to say is this...

though the technology could be classified as revolutionary, i think the public will only see it (the device) as evolutionary. we would use it as a way to get from point "a" to point "b", but not in a revolutionary way. bicycles, scooters, taxis, cars and the like ...

i would be interested to see the results of a 16K cluster size. i did the same thing (from 64K to 16K), and i get at times wildly varying results. sometimes i will have a burst/cached speed thats lower than my sustained reads (72MBps sustained and 60MBps cached, which i have seen before). with 64K ...

as for the clearing of the CMOS, 90% of the time the jumper is easy to find. just look for the CMOS battery and EEPROM. then look for the only isolated 3 jumper pins in that area. most jumper blocks consist of pairs of pins. CCMOS jumpers usually use 3 individual pins..... " .xx and xx." being the ...

smaier69

first, whet exactly do you mean by dead? what is it doing not not doing?

first thing i would try is putting in another power supply. since the spike was from the power supply to the HDD i would assume the HDD or the PS would be the victim(s). i have my doubts as to if the power surge would make it ...

generally speaking, the difference between an OEM and a boxed/retail unit (of pretty much anything) is what would normally (in retail version) come ith a retail version such as extras like software, mounting hardware, cables/cords, mfgr warrantee (sometimes) heatsink/fan and the like. in some cases ...

smaier69

i have a question..... what Promise card do you have? if it doesnt support RAID 5 (byte striping w/parity, which will work with a minimum of 3 drives) as a function/level then you are out. i am unfamiliar with RAID 3 personally, but it will also work with 3 drives.

what i am getting at is, does ...

smaier69

yep, its an avatar. and i can see it, too!

kind of "retro" dont you think?

smaier69

a shame. truly a shame. he has left the painful plane for a better existance, so not all is bad.

he was a noninvasive, yet influential soul.

what more could we ask?

smaier69

yep. 16x represents the physical limitations regarding of the drive itself (not the drive's onboard interface controller).

ata/66 is the throughput limitation of the drive's interface controller.

smaier69

yes. anything you can do to a striped array you can do to a regular volume (i.e. dual boot, partitions, etc). as far as your computer past the RAID controller is concerned, its just another hard drive.

smaier69

sure... if you use one of the following it becomes very viewable:

- oscilliscope
- spectrum analyzer
- L-25

if its a riddle, then i will have to give it some more thought.

smaier69

those look very similar to the Antec SX1030.

see here.... http://www.antec-inc.com/product/cases/sohoser.html . as for colors other than white or black, you will have to look around. i have seen purple before, but that was at Fry's Electronics. i cant remember where i have seen purple online.

smaier69

absolutely (*nodding with YeOld*). i had a G400 MAX not that long ago. was not a gaming contender with the likes of the GeForce256 on the market at the time. the MAX was their "hot-rod", and did fairly well in D3D.

Matrox cards are more geared for the business/enterprise market. bearable 3D ...

thanks, minir! long time to talk, as they say

.

over 11,000 3DMarks in 2001?!?!? at this point? good god in heaven......

smaier69

HUH?

left, man... THE ONE ON YER LEFT!!!!

sheesh!.......

right is over here ---->

hehe... j/k :p

i have always gone about a reformat in the way Yard just said. back up all your data and .zip/.ace/.rar files (programs/executables usually dont like to be moved without a reinstall due to their needed registry links) to whatever/wherever you can, and completely rewrite your drive from the ...

smaier69

okay. nothing real special by todays standards but here they are...

just moved it into a cabinet in my desk, and things are a little warmer, so i returned everything to default until i feel like "modding" my desk.......primary box:

Win98SE
AMD Athlon 1.1GHz (200MHz FSB)
TT 6CU+ (7000RPM) and AS II ...

smaier69

d/l'ing now.

thank you!

smaier69

win98se. the drivers are native to win2k, but i would still like sound when on the win98 partition.

smaier69

Vortexofsound.com used to have all the goods, but i am having problems connecting to the site right now.

i have another soundcard, but i really dont feel like dragging out the fileserver (the machine the soundcard's in) and fiddlefarting around again. i did all that last night when i dropped a new ...

smaier69

muchos gracias, sir

smaier69

i was sent something in dbase (.wdb), and i am not sure as to what i should use to open it.

any ideas?

smaier69

yes there are IDE RAID as well as SCSI RAID controllers. if you have 2 or more identical hard drives when i would also suggest looking into an IDE RAID controller. they are a little more expensive (~$70 to $90 for an ATA100 RAID controller), and can also be used as a regular IDE controller.

if you ...

smaier69

i would go with a Promise Ultra100 PCI controller card. they are consistant and reliable. not too expensive, either (roughly $25 to $40 or so depending on where you look). they provide you with another IDE controller (with 2 channels) just like your onboard controller. so in essence you could have 4 ...

smaier69

Klipsch Promedia 5.1 . there are some other very good 5.1 speaker systems out there as well, but i think the Klipsch 5.1s are what would get my vote.

smaier69

hahaha. you gotta watch out for those anklebiters. never can see them coming..... thanks for the compliment, Norm.

. back at ch'a.

smaier69

damn you again Norm!!!! must you beat me to the punch every time?!?!? and your greater knowlegde really puts a bur under my blanket!.... just messing around, man :) .

looks like you are golden, blue_mosquito. ideally the OS will auto-detect the controller and install the drivers for you. otherwise ...

smaier69

damn you Norm!!!! (j/k)

smaier69

the first place i would check is the manufacturer. failing that, i would check some place like http://www.windrivers.com or http://www.driverguide.com .

you also have a chance of the drivers already being included in win2k. that (of course) would be the easiest.

let me take a look around to get ...

smaier69

well, the RAM timing values (6-1-1-1R 4-1-1-1W 3-3-3CL) are independant of the parity or ECC function, so its still kinda up in the air (whether its ECC, parity or non-parity).

i am not sure as to why the information showed in my screen(s) is not showing in yours. maybe because its the shareware ...

smaier69

yes.

with any hardware there is always the chance of an incompatability or conflict, but i would say you have about a 98% chance of it working fine..... what kind of SCSi host is it? i would just make sure there are drivers available for your OS.

smaier69

okay, here's a couple pics so you know what to look for. the top is my main system (non-ECC RAM), and the bottom is my fileserver (with ECC RAM, running in ECC mode). htis information is in the "mainboard information" module. scroll down and you should see the information (i outlined where you will ...

smaier69

oh, one more thing.... you are running a dual-CPU mainboard, right? this dramatically increases the chances of there being either parity or ECC RAM already installed. i would try to find that out before making a purchase. installing ECC or parity RAM on a system with it enabled will not have ...

smaier69

no, faster RAM is backward compatable with slower-rated frequency buses.

in other words, if you have a system that is currently running at 133MHz (memory bus speed), and you put a stick of PC150 in, the PC150 will run just fine at 133MHz (PC133), or 100MHz (PC100). no need to change out the ...

smaier69

well CoolJ, for reference i get 4088 with a 1.1GHz T-Bird on a KT7A-RAID with a 3D Prophet II Ultra 64MB. all OCd a bit... pushing the vidcard kinda hard, though. just a hint of artifacts. with all at default frequencies, i get a little over 3600.

smaier69

just a question...

does the protoge use an electric heater? all the cars i have ever owned used an extention of the cooling system as the heating element (basically like a small radiator int eh dash. water/coolant from the motor is pumped through it, and the fans in the heating/air conditioning ...
