    using a Gigabyte BIOS on an Abit Mobo how stupid is that?

    hi All. I have the Abit SA7 motherboard and Abit won't release a BIOS that supports HT. on the other hand, Gigabyte has the GA-8ST800-L that has the same 645DX chipset but supports HT!! If the 645DX on my SA7 is B-Step then it could technically support HT. what happens if I flash the SA7 w/ a...

    Routing Computers = major slowdowns

    as a matter of fact we are planning on a major purchase in the weeks to come what will be the best solution for us to separate the two networks and still be able to cross over when necessary? the reason for separation is that net A is a NT domain and net B is a simple network with a linux...

    Routing Computers = major slowdowns

    Hi everyone, I give technical support to an organization that can't afford someone who's qualified ;) we have two separate networks that can cross over through either a linux firewall PC with 2 Realtek Adapters, or a PC running win2k server. we measured how long it takes to copy 20MB from a...

    I don't know whether or not all monitors do this (TFT's sure as hell don't ;) ) but my FD Trinitron does show a slight difference

    How big is infinity?

    I realize that the "added" 1 came from the continuation of the series what I'm saying is that even if there are infinite one's, you're not allowed to write a different portion of the series on either side of the equasion and have the unwritten (...) portions of the series' cancel each other out !!!

    How big is infinity?

    sorry for taking everybody back but, Hazer beat me to it but I'll post it in my own words: actually, it is because he stuck an extra 1 in there. you can't write both series to the same distance without placing the "..." inside the brackets (which may be allowed, but it's ugly) but most...

    is it possible to build an all flash memory Hard Drive ?

    Is the theoretical read/write speed of current flash memory fast enough for usage as the main HD ? The numbers I read lead me to believe that it is. If so, what kind of advantages would persuade you to pay x2 for say a HD which is 1/3 the size of a rotating disks HD ? reliability ? shock...

    R300 & Need For Speed HP2

    I saw in the Readme of the game that there are issues with 9700 type cards. Are they resolved ?

    is it worth it to get a 9700 over a 9500 Pro?

    Benchmarks can be decieving, these 10% can be very noticable if they are the result of a short but steep drop in the framerate. Also, in extreme cases, the 9700 can theoretically be twice as fast. think about it. the R300 core was engineered with a 256 bit wide bus in mind. cutting that in...
