Any chance you have another power supply available to test? I had random reboots and strange errors for a couple months before I figured out that my PS was crapping out.

My drives are 100GB WD 7200rpm IDE 8MB buffer and 80GB Hitachi 7200 SATA 8MB buffer

My 7200rpm SATA drive benchmarks in my tests about 30% faster for sustained read rates than my 7200rpm IDE. Write speed is almost exactly the same.

Norton is to AV, as AOL is to internet. It is very bloated, doesnt work as well as it should, takes over your system, and costs too much. Personally I use AVG, but there are others out there just as good or better for free or relatively inexpensive. I used to use PC-cillin, that was decent. I...

I work for a software company, when we benchmark against our competitors on 64 bit Solaris machines we run with 32 bit software because it is faster. All those extra 0's in front of the memory addresses slow things down quite a bit. 64-bit is only better when you have HUGE files that need...

3DMark2003 score 6218 BFG GeForceFX 5900 @ I think 502 core / 917 memory P4 2.4c @ 3.0 (250 bus) 1 stick 512MB Crucial 3200 running 5/4 (200MHz bus) memory is definately my bottleneck. I have a question on the sound tests, My results say "not supported". Is that a hardware limitation or is...

Nobody will be interested in your EET if you get it especially in this low point in the economy, mostly a waste of your time. If you want engineering get a real BSEE. Most places I looked at for jobs after getting my BSEE specifically said on the job requirements "4 year degree in EE" and with...

The difference there is that when Asians mispronounce things it is generally because they were raised in an entirely different country speaking an entirely different language. Some of the sounds in english dont even exist in asian languages. When you are talking about, uhh for lack of a better...

I dont remember exactly what my non-HT seti runs take, but it was pretty close to 2.5 hours or 2 every 5 hours. With HT I get 2 done in about 3.5 hours. I have P4 2.4c @ 3.0 GHz and a single 512MB stick of memory so dual channel or whatever it is called.

Sorry, I am a shrubber for The Knights Who Say Ni! Dont make me say "Ni!" unto you... We need all the help we can find to get back our #9 spot from Team Art Bell.

I am just getting fed up with the way the BOINC beta test is going for me at least .In the last 2 weeks it seems I am only getting credit for about 10% of my BOINC effort. I know when the beta is done all those stats will be gone, but just for the fun of it I would like to know how well I am...

sdf.lonestar.org for $1 you get lifetime membership, 10MB of email (POP3 accessible), 10MB web space, and 10MB shell account. Pay $36 and you get that all upped to 100MB plus ftp, telnet, and a few others.

I had my P4 2.4c running at 3.19 for the longest time, then I started thinking about it and to get that speed with the RAM multiplyers that were available I was actually underclocking the RAM. I dropped the CPU To 3.0GHz and the RAM speed went up and now everything runs faster. My Crucial RAM...

Here is what my mess looks like. I am not sure what the case is, some generic thing I picked up for $35 about 6 years ago. Pic1 Pic2

Why is it when I search futuremark databases for a similar setup to mine can I not find anything higher than 7439? I am searching for processors between 2500 and 4000 MHz, Nvidia GeForce FX5900 with processor, OS, resolution set to "all". When I change video card to GeForce FX5900 Ultra the...
