I seem to remember a company called Farrallon (sp?) that was working on some kind of phoneline network system that would allow macs and pcs to communicate. It was a while ago though... back when my wife thought the iMac was cute and wanted one. I did the research to see if it could easily be...

Well, for future reference or for those who may be interested I solved the major slow down problem I was having with my home PNA Linksys cards. After stripping out windows, formatting, and doing a fresh install with only generic VGA drivers for my V5 loaded I tried the Linksys phoneline card in...

I forgot to answer your other query... no, I haven't considered usb nic but only because of the problems I have had with usb and the Home PNA systems show a significant slow down when using the usb port (from the research I have done reading on different hardware sites that have tested them... I...

Well, I used the Siiq controller card because I had it kicking around here anyway and I got tired of troubleshooting a known problem with this motherboard. I tried all the tips on usbman.com and in the massive Abit FAQ compiled by Paul Howland... nothing seemed to cure the usb problems that I...

I am using the Linksys Phoneline 10M Network cards and as soon as I boot my older system and the two phoneline network cards try to communicate my KT7A-Raid system slows to a crawl. I can access the my KT7A-Raid system from my old Tyan S1598-C2 K6-III 400 no problem... move files, access all...

Yeah, I have heard rumors that you can only tell from the date it was manufactured as well. I was hoping that those letters following the year/week could be deciphered to indicate whether or not I had a Dresden or Texas chip. The stain around the die is bluish on mine but I have heard recently...

Does anyone have a link to a site (or know how) that breaks down what the serial numbers on the Tbird indicate? I just got my 1Gig Tbird last week and I would like to know if I can tell where and when it was made from the numbers. TIA, Robin

Well, I finally got ahold of the owner of the shop I am dealing with in regards to the prices of the 955DF vs. 900IFT. I didn't badger him on the issue but I did point out the discrepency between the prices he quoted me compared with online vendors. He said the best he could go on the 900IFT was...

Okay, 955DF you say... but why? I need to know why! Thread is staying open til I understand and I'm not that smart so this could take a while!;)

Well, now that you mention it I guess it makes the original price quotes I got from the local store seem less like a mistake. I just checked the Canadian page of the Onvia site and they don't list a 19" Hitachi as available so I can't check the Cdn. price for their site. Here's another...

I'm not going to really push the owner for a price reduction. I'll point out the info you directed me to on the Onvia site and if he is willing to drop the price on the IFT by about $50 Cdn. then I will take a chance on that monitor. If he says he can't lower the price then he will have...

There's actually a couple of reasons I prefer to buy locally than online. 1)I live in a small town in western Canada that all delivery services will gladly charge overnight shipping and then if you read the fine print it doesn't apply to rural areas where they have to resort to using...
