IPv6 Sucks

I hope nobody takes this personally but I think Internet forums are a total load of crap! I rarely get anything of use from them as people just can't be bothered to answer in a scientific/rational manner. You ask for some guidance and someone is sure to say "do a Google search". If it's "yes...

IPv6 Sucks

Yup my point exactly! Also, can anyone point me to any whitepapers, articles or similar documents which can show me hoe IPv6 is a big improvement over IPv4 especially in wireless applications?

IPv6 Sucks

From what I've read so far IPv6 doesn't really improve on IPv4 any more than providing a greater number of addresses. Here is one such article: Exposing 9 Myths About IPv6 Can anyone provide any links that are contrary to what I've read? Furthermore, how is IPv6 an improvement over IPv4 with...

Help required with PC switching itself off!

Thanks for all your comments everyone it's much appreciated. There is only one problem I have with the ATI card theory and that is I had been using it in an AMD rig for about 7-8mnths (until I got my P4 2.8GHz) with zero problems. However, the only games I played were Delta Force 2 and a few...

Help needed with PC switching itself off!

Myocardia I am taking your advice it's just that someone thought I was experiencing the problems because I had overclocked my system. The thing is when you run something like 3dMark2001 at stock settings and the system switches off right at the very begining of the benchmark I don't know if that...

Seen as though you have a Radeon 9800 Pro have you experienced problems similar to mine, i.e. system abruptly switching off? If so have you been able to resolve them?

The thing is that most of the time it runs fine. For example I just ran 3dMark2001 twice with my virus scanner running and a host of other applications and it ran fine. However, I ran 3dmark2001 again on its own and the system just switched itself off right at the begining of the benchmark! So I...

Thanks for all your replies and thanks for those benchmarks Duvie. I'm slightly digressing here but for some reason I can't get my P4 2.8GHz over 230FSB. I've even run my PC3200 at 3:2 with timings of 3-8-3-3 and a Vcore of 1.7 (I dare not go over this due to NSDS) but the thing will not go over...

2.8v for memory too high?

Do you think a voltage of 2.8 or higher for Crucial PC3200 is too high? I've searched in Google and some hardware sites have taken their Crucial modules to around 2.8v but I don't know whether this would be considered a safe voltage for prolonged use. So can you guys give me any advice on this?

How does Barton 2500+ overclocked to 3200+ perform?

In short, the P4 3.2GHz and the AMD Athlon64 blow the XP3200+ away. However, as the price of the XP2500+ is quite low its not a bad deal. There is one thing you should be careful of which is that AMD have started to lock the multiplier on the Barton so you may not be able to overclock your 2500+...
