LOL

The server is here:

http://www.ipaska.com/

My website is this:

www.universeofdiscourse.org

I live in NJ...no telling what state or country the server is actually in....so localhost is not even on my radar.

I know how to setup a server and all that...if I own and operate the ...

Jeremy

no idea if you've solved your database problem, but i'm running apache/mysql at home on a windows 2000 server with a number of databases, and you should probably be using LOCALHOST or 127.0.0.1 for yoru server address.

here's a snippet from one of my php files (i work almost exclusively with php ...

Jeremy

ok...it was an auction on ebay so i didn't even bother placing a 2nd bid.

i'm already working with two hard drives...my internal one which is reasonably fast for a notebook drive, and a 120gb drive with all the video. ideally i should have one more, but notebook drives are costly, and external ones ...

Jeremy

i found some decent deals for a stick of 512 for my laptop (currently 256-256). is there a respectable gain from this? i'm noticing tons of lag running adobe premiere, and encore dvd working with about 50GB of audio and video :) . not sure if it's worth the $40-50us i'd be paying for the memory ...

Jeremy

it's not about the number of megapixels as most consumers think (i'm speaking as a reasonably experienced photographer). lots of stuff is important in picture quality.

as a very rough estimate, a 5MP camera gives a resolution of 2500x2000. an 8MP camera would be the equivalent of roughly 3200x2400 ...

Jeremy

made sure your volume is set properly? i have a USB Sonica, and the line in is very low as it has no amp.

theoretically, the sound card shoudln't matter. i have the winfast tuner, and you have to plug its line out into a sound card's line in, so it's outputting analog audio which any card should be ...

Jeremy

any camera that's not a DSLR will focus relatively slowly. in that respect, sony has one of the finest AF systems using the laser hologram rather than the typical lamp. you might like the DSC-W1, DSC-p100 the DSC-V1, or the DSC-F828. the latter two can use external flashes.

do you think you really ...

Jeremy

if two servers are set up to balance load using round robin, will the dns server be able to fall back onto only server 1 if server 2 goes offline, or is the process passive and leave every other user with a server error as they are referred to the offline server?

thanks,
Jeremy

for a student, the 85/8600 series is a little bulky for me. it is fantastic for DVDs, and games, but carrying it is a pain. my battery lasts about 3-4 hours int eh classroom, probably more for the 8600 centrino series. it just isn't as suitable for school as others are. also with that much carrying ...

Jeremy

you have 2MB video memory. right click desktop, properties, settings, advanced, adapter.

800x600x3 bytes=1.5MB
1024x768x2 bytes=1.5MB
1024x768x3 bytes=2.2MB

Jeremy

smartdrv...enables drive caching. huge performance difference.

if you're booting from DOS, most boot disks have a program called smartdrv.exe whichyou simply run at the dos prompt before running setup. it's on all win9x cds and probably online too.

Jeremy

this is a little different and possibly meaningless, but :

Dell Inspiron GeForce4 4200 Go

Stock 196core/195ddr(390)

OC 250core/250ddr(500)

i guess they just underclocked it because i didn't do anything except use teh coolbits patch. it seems to run ok too, maxing otu at about 60c.

Jeremy

Jeremy

yeah...np if you need it. just gimme the OS. however, after looking thru the available option for the latitude cpi, it says that all drivers are built into windows 2000/later, except maybe teh touchpad. i can get drivers for bios updates, modem/ehternet pc cards, the touchpad, the ide controller, cd ...

Jeremy

owning a dell laptop, i have access to all downloads if you need it.

Jeremy

the mobile components will probably be old enough that xp will have built-in drivers, and also becuase it's an intel-based [well-supported] system.

XP ran pretty decently on a 128MB Celeron 333 desktop i had. if anything, 192MB memory will be OK, and get a quality 5400rpm hard drive (toshiba makes ...

Jeremy

about the indoor shots, you should normally turn the flash setting to off when shooting beyond 10-15'. the auto settings will try to use flash and screw up the picture as it has many times with the two cameras i've owned. the graininess was probably boosted ISO to make up for the distance, improper ...

Jeremy

the s400/410/500 is very compact, and therefore has a weaker flash than some of canon's other units. indoors it would nto be the most ideal camera for flash photography.

when you want indoor pics...did you mean with or without flash? indoor lighting is usually so poor that you will almost always ...

Jeremy

yes. yours is 184 pin, the most common type at the moment.

ddr in desktops can only come in one form with 184 pins. it looks alot like sdram, but has 1 notch in it, vs sdram which has 2 notches and 168 pins.

Jeremy

i have that same drive and it runs quickly and pretty quietly. opt for larger rather than smaller (eg at least 120gb) if you can afford it because the moment you begin editing and downloading video and burning DVDs, 80GB will fill up fast.

512MB memory will definitely boost performance with windows ...

Jeremy

reformat roughly every 9-12 months for the average user who says "yes" to every activex installation and downloads bits of software all the time.

if you keep a computer clean software-wise and run xp or 2000, you can let it run for a number of years. in your case i would run with no less than 512 ...

Jeremy

older 1.8a with stock cooling is 40 idle, 47-49 full with AS5 which i don't know if it's applied well or not. fan usually 2400rpm idle, 3000rpm full. the cpu fan is also the only fan in my case apart from the psu which makes temps higher but it is very quiet.

Jeremy

Jeremy

before i plunk down $$$ for memory which has become insanely expensive as of late, could you possibly explain why the memory isn't functioning with the new frequency ratio? if you set the bus to 130MHz (OC situation), the ratio is 1:1, then the memory runs at 260MHz, or pc2100 spec. and when running ...

Jeremy

actually that *was* using memtest86. i just let it run for 30mins to get a basic idea; nothing happened at stock (like 6 pass, 0 error, looked fine to me), then once i oc'd the errors piled up from the beginning of the test with identical CAS timings, just running at 1:1 to the fsb (eg 130:130) vs 3 ...

Jeremy

holy crap...
did a brief run...30mins. at 1.8/266/33/66 cpu/memory/pci/agp no errors.
at 2.3/254/32/64...a million errors keep rapidly appearing.

so something is up with the ram. any suggestions? the fact that it's running at 254 confuses me as to why it doesn't run.

Jeremy

ok i'll give that a shot. note that the thermal tape is in the garbage now, AS5 was in about 2 days ago.

Jeremy

i didn't read, but did you already run a memory integrity test? i.e. memtest or something.
i haven't, but when i boot up the bios does say "ram frequency ### MHz" and at the standard 1.8GHz, it says 266, and when overclocked to 125 for example it would show "250" after i override the ram ratio to ...

Jeremy

in fact that's where i started; i followed it precisely. i'm thinking it's not the cpu. i removed the fan, and it ran perfectly forever not reaching 50c. then i put the fan back in, bus to 125, and it crashes. and the settings say the memory is running at 2*fsb (250 in this case), and the pci ...

Jeremy

http://stratusstudios.hopto.org/http/p4.gif anything higher, i got corrupt registry hives or rebooting cycle. this is with AS5 just put on. is it possible that the pci divider isn't actually kicking in, or the AS5 has to burn in for a few days? the settings are PLL/16, PLL/20, PLL/24, and PLL/32 ...

Jeremy

is your agp running over 66MHz with your overclocked athlon? some cards can take more than others.

Jeremy

Jeremy

any atx psu will work fine on old ones like that. i've got a couplel of slot systems running newpentium 4 supplies.

-Jeremy

Jeremy

most of those laptops have integrated graphics. they're playable, but i would get one with a dedicated card at the very least, even if you don't intend to game. also 4200rpm drives are unwelcome on all these fast processing laptops. definitely wise to try before buying to see how smooth they run ...

Jeremy

i've got a bunch of slot 1 boards that could go for an upgrade like that, but you actually looking for anything?

thanks
Jeremy

Jeremy

when you boot up, you may suddenly find that one of your registry hives is "corrupt", and magically uncorrupts when you lower the fsb. in addition, startup programs may run unusually slow with lots of disk access and then numerous files cannot be found. i had to go through this but it only did ...

Jeremy

teh 5.25 or 3.5" ones work fine. 5.25" can fit optical drives and hdds, 3.5" hdds only, but is more compact if you don't intend to put a cd or dvd drive into it.

-Jeremy

Jeremy

the tutorials incl with encore are very good although a little complex. i haven't used encore extensively, just for a non-menu dvd so i really coudlnt help you there. but gl!

Jeremy

just ordered a tube of arctic silver 3 online...hope this solves all my problems!

-Jeremy

Jeremy

those bids will skyrocket in the last hours or minutes of the auction! there is little chance of getting something like that for $300!

Jeremy

if you burn .mpg files rigiht ot a DVD, they will not play in normal dvd players. you will need to perform proper conversion on the files. in premiere pro...i think it's file-export-export to dvd

MPEG-4 is mostly for computer-based playback, and isn't compatible with dvd. if you intend to watch ...

Jeremy

well for making dvds, premire pro has "export to dvd" feature although taht is the barest of dvd making software. you can make a dvd though using that.

there is adobe encore dvd and ulead dvd workshop, both [expensive] fine programs for menu making from scratch.

ulead videostudio [cheap/bundled ...
