McCain-Feingold. Weren't you paying attention?

Youngsters flatter themselves that the Army wants them so badly. We have an all-volunteer professional army, that is so far ahead of every other army on the planet, that they are like the alien invaders in a 1950's sci-fi movie. Having said that, I believe the bill, which was floated by the...

Groovy. I thought so, but I always like to verify.

There is a problem in the SB65G2 with the AIW 9800Pro, where recorded TV sound is is very "hard" and "echo-y" It can be somewhat addressed by adding a sound card and running an external line from one card to the other, but I think it's BS. I ALREADY HAVE 5.1 sound on that mobo, and I not only...

I have a Shuttle SB65G2, which as you know has a 22w power supply. I have changed my mid about what I was planning to do with it. Now I'm looking at the following: P4C - 2400mhz w/H-T (on 800mhz FSB) 1024m PC3200 memory Matrox Millenium G450 Dual Head video card Basic Compusa 5.1 soundcard...

I dunno Fow, I've never tried it. I did run Yellow Dog Linux on my G3 Wallstreet, but now I'm running X.2

Thank you.

Anyone care to recommend a measuring tool for hard drive performance

I can't help salivating over the notion of a RAID 5 SATA controller card with the 36g raptors...

That's a problematic question. In raw numbers you definitely will get a big gain because that 1ghz G4 chip is about a powerful as a P4 with a clock speed of about 1.5 to 2.0ghz, and it varies with what you are doing because the architecture is different and can't truly be compared directly in a...

Groovy. That worked out nice.

Building a shuttle sb65. The plextor "everything" drive I'm using has sound output. The ATI video card also has a sound output. But the motherboard, which has onboard audio, only has one header. Now, I seem to recall, in the dim recesses of my foggy memory, that one of those devices doesn't...

I bought a used Acer monitor at a computer show. It was the end of the day and I saw a monitor with a small crack in it at fire sale prices. Understand, I mean a small crack in the plastic case, not the CRT itself. It was the end of the day, I was tired, and I never looked at it closely. <cue...

You can use SATA and IDE at the same time?

No, I'm not out of the loop. I simply refuse to use their chips.
