Anyone?

Howdy - I'm putting together a "stack" computer to work on grid.org and some other distributed computing projects. I have (or will soon have) 8 microATX motherboards (ASRock K7S41) with AMD XP-M 2400+ procs, overclocked to around 2.3Ghz. They will be mounted caseless, so I'm trying to solve...

I'm building "critters" for a Grid.org stack, and the route I've opted to take is an OC'd XP-M 2400+ on a microATX board. I ended up going with the ASRock K7S41 because it had OC features either by jumper or in-BIOS, and sure enough, some of those features are there. Trouble is: a) when I...

Thanks much! 5700LE on the way. And yes, three LCDs is nice ... though I find that I keep misplacing my pointer, plus you often have modal dialogs popping up somewhere else and assuming an app has locked ... I'm sure you'll have a pity party for me now ... ;) Thanks again! Jeff

I succumbed to flat panel demons finally - three 2001FPs now grace my desk, and they are lovely ... except for one of them. I have a x800 Pro and a 9200 PCI - so there are two monitors with DVIs - but the third - the second monitor off of the x800 - is VGA and I'm hating it. I don't think I...

Just that - an adapter that allows you to rig the six separate female wires hooked up to the front case Firewire ports on a Sonata to an internal Firewire port (also female) on a PCI card. My mobo doesn't have header pins, and I've found such adapaters for USB, but none for Firewire for some...

So, I'm currently using a DigiDoc3 to drive four case fans. What I WANT is for the fans to silently and happily come on when the various sensors hit particular trigger points, then turn off again once the temps are back down. And that happens, too -- ALONG WITH THAT GODAWFUL BEEPING. I don't...

Both of these look great -- thanks! CompuPic Pro in particular has a nice-looking CD-ROM creation software that seemed to fit my exact needs -- "So easy, even your mother can use it!" Took the words out of my mouth ... I've also tried FlipAlbum, but I find it pretty suboptimal -- the...

Just that: I ran 3DMark 2000 on my new system (running Windows 2000 Server), and I came up with 4700. My hardware is available in my rig listing (follow the link below, "My First OC'd Box") -- but basically it's a dual proc PIII 700@1030Mhz, Hercules Prophet II 3D (or whatever they...

I just received my digital camera for Xmas, and so far I'm using Canon's ZoomBrowser to organize pics on my harddrive (surprisingly sweet little app, for a bundled freebie). Now I'm looking to start burning pics into a photo album, on a CD ... but I don't know what my options are here. Software...

Mathwiz -- I ran WinFlash, pointed it at the .bin image, and presto, worked like a champ. I'm using Win2K Server, no issues so far (other than DirectCD, which is as hosed as it was before the flash).

Tweekah -- when you say you "cannot flash under Win2K", what do you mean? I flashed to 3.27 just fine under Win2K Server -- no error messages, and the drive works fine (well, as fine as it did -- DirectCD is still giving me fits).

Hawk -- that's a lot better, at least. I matched them both at 60hz (blech - crappy old 15"), and now there's just one wave front that slowly scrolls up the screen every few seconds. This effect, as you note, seems to affect the entire screen, not just the side closest to the other monitor...

Very timely post, from my perspective: I just hooked up a 2nd monitor to my 2nd video card, and I'm having issues and question, too. My setup: 21" Hitachi driven by Hercules GeForce Pro 64MB, and a 15" driven by a RAGE 128 GL PCI 16MB. The 15" monitor is a new used monitor, and...

So I shouldn't use the Hercules drivers, from their Web site -- I should instead use NVidia ref drivers? Hmm ... will that increase my stability or performance as well, or just make it easier to tweak?
