    A8V 64-bit RAID drivers?

    A8V 64-bit RAID drivers?

    A8V 64-bit promise RAID drivers, do they exist and if so where can I get them? Not a big issue I just want to play with XP-64, got XP Pro 32 working just fine. Or is there a way to trick XP-64 into using the 32-bit ones?

    Tech questions on Opterons

    Yes. This depends on the motherboard manufacturer's implimentation. Non Uniform Memory Architecture (NUMA) gives each CPU its own set of memory, and each needs at least one physical stick. There are some motherboards which use UMA, and the CPUs share the memory. No, the FX is not SMP...

    Any Canadians know whether or not NCIX honors pricematching from US websites?

    As NCIX staff have explained several times, it's not as simple as converting the currency, Canadian importers pay additional taxes and fees which tend to make computer components more expensive in Canada in general. That said NCIX is among the best for customer service in Canada, the $18...

    Smoking Ban

    The same way anything is policed, there is no cop watching your 24/7 stopping you from assaulting people or stealing things, but presumably, you don't go around smacking people and stealing stuff because it is not legal and it's against your morals. It need necessarily be a criminal offense...

    Smoking Ban

    Smoking should banned under such circumstances as it could effect another person, including children, babies, old people, whoever. It should be considered a form of poisoning, you're welcome to poison yourself, but not others. Smokers would have to go damn far out of their way to smoke and GOOD...

    Old pcs (Pre ATX)

    My friend used to have a 386/40 Mhz (I think). Turbo On was normal speed, and certain games wouldn't run properly. We'd play Darksun and everything happened in teh blink of an eye. Turbo Off underclocked it to 20MHz (I think), at any rate it was much slower and we could see the animations...

    Electrical motor for jigsaw

    A couple of days ago I took apart my jigsaw, something had gotten caught in it and messed up some of the wiring and broken the fan. Anyway I took some notes on how it came apart so I could put it back together. Murphy's law kicked in and my note paper wandered off. The only thing that is...
