    DD-WRT x86 variant

    Not sure how many have noticed, BrainSlayer released the x86 port of dd-wrt last week and has been pretty active in putting out daily builds. I've had some issues getting it up and running from a CF drive, but was able to spend some time playing with it in vmware. Lots of promise and quite...

    anyone else's x1900 make crazy noises?

    Just installed my new x1900xt and quite unhappy with the sound coming from the thing during gameplay. It almost seems like in any scene that puts significant stress on the card that it starts making a noise similar to what you would hear a hard drive while accessing data makes. This happens...

    I need a router with that supports VLANs and bandwidth throttling, something that is primarily configured via a web interface (not a standard linux router). The only small router I can find with any of these features is the DrayTek Vigor2900, but those are a little hard to come by in the US...

    DPAD - cease operation of client v4.4

    Per Stephen's Good news and bad news posts on the muon1 board I would recommend that you revert to the v4.34 client, pending the release of v4.41... In a second post he notes: Since we will not have fixed lattice files until v4.41, the results produced by v4.4 are bad... Switching back to...

    DPAD: more crookedness from US-D

    look here oh, and this one has 21,997,460.4 Mpts All I can say is I might bail on this project unless Stephen reconsiders a policy regarding renaming and the transferring of Mpts. It's getting old... This is particularly lame when these aren't even active participants, and just moving Mpts...

    crunching on a low budget: high output for $250 and less

    I spent a few minutes on newegg to see if I could come up with a decent crunching system at a low cost... I realize I could even lower the total by a fair amount, but sometimes I can't resist putting in a larger hard drive for just a few dollars more (plus the extra utility you'll get from it...
