There are PCI cards you can use that spit out code values while a computer is booting. These code values might indicate what the PC is doing when it runs into trouble. Unfortuneately I don't know where to get these cards.
It seems poorly designed from a cooling perspective. The 3.5" drive cage is really going to cut down the airflow through the case compared to a design like the Cooler Master 201. Granted, this is probably only important if you're overclocking.
Also, is there any kind of air filtering built...
One strange thing about it is that it looks like the internal 3.5" bays are oriented sideways. This would make it easier to attach an IDE ribbon cable to the HDs but it also might impede cooling since the cables would have to cross the case to get to the motherboard. It's also not clear how...
That's fine if you know the application only adds files and modifies the registry. But if the application also modifies a shared dll that Windows Restore doesn't monitor then you could be SOL.
I think System Restore is meant to be used for small windows related changes like rolling back drivers and directX changes. I don't think it's meant to be used to roll back application installations.
I think the compression to mpeg2 is done after the data is transferred over the pci bus to the processor/memory. But I believe even the uncompressed data is far from saturating the pci bus.
So, you don't think it's misleading to advertise the card as DX9 compliant even though it's going to run in DX8 mode?
Also, I'd like to point out the inconsistency of your statements:
Clueless n00b who buys an OEM machine or the cheapest part they can find. They get a 5200 which is a DX9...
Not sure if this was posted or not but here is an IQ review of the Detonator 52.10 and 52.14 drivers

I thought this was kind of amusing (and ironic).

The publicity generated by the SCO lawsuit hasn't hurt Linux distributor Red Hat's plans to expand business in Asia--in fact, it seems to have helped, said a senior executive.
"It...
Hey, if a lot of these IT and Entertainment executives get together and agree to push DRM down our throats there's little the American consumer can do about it. I certainly don't expect Congress to help out at all (just look at the RIAA's latest actions).
As far as turning LT off, I've heard...
Yeah, that's what I'm afraid is going to happen. Most people won't even know it's there until they stick their favorite music cd into their computer and try to rip it and find out it they can't and then let out an exasperated "Hey, what gives?"
Publicly, Intel was taking some pains to paint LaGrande as a way to foil hackers. But it was also clear from conversations with others on the show floor, and in some of the sessions, that LaGrande will also be a key component in enabling content protection. After all, a security system that can...
You're talking about GUI applications. There are a lot of applications that don't require any user interaction for which the startup time is irrelevant.
It's amusing to see people claim Java is slow. It's been as fast as native code for a long time now. Check out this article: http://www.javaworld.com/jw-02-1998/jw-02-jperf.html and note that the article is from Feb. 1998.
I think Mad Hatter is a great idea and think it has a very good...
How do you hook up the front panel connectors to the motherboard? There aren't any labels on the connectors as to which side of the plug is positive (+).
Please let me know, thanks.
I plan on setting up a RAID array using the southbridge and hooking up another hard drive to the ide1 port. That would mean I would have to use ide2 for both of my optical drives. If the slave connector doesn't reach then I will have to pick another motherboard (I...
I'm thinking about getting the ic7 and the atc-201 case but I'm worried that the slave connectors on the ide cables won't reach the 5.25" bays because the ide ports are at the bottom of the mobo. Do you think this would be a problem?
