Plextor CDRW/DVD any good?

The only problem I have with the Plextor combo drive is that there's no region free hack for it yet :(, other than that it's a great drive.

Generally when you want to reset the BIOS password you have to reset the BIOS completely, usually by removing the battery and shorting two pins on the motherboard. You will probably need the manual to find out where.

memory for P4B533-V

Well some good news, I guess. I set the memory to 2-3-3-6 at a 148 FSB 4:5 divider so the memory would be running at the 185MHz it is spec'd at. Ran one pass of memtest86 and it passed with flying colors. Thats good I guess but It's also spec'd at 2-2-2 at 166MHZ, thats where I can only do...

memory for P4B533-V

I have a P4B533-V and Corsair XMS512-3000C2 and the highest settings I can get the memory to is 2-2-3-5 running at 333MHz DDR. I was playing around last night and even at 340MHz I was getting errors in Memtest86. I have some 3200C2 on the way but I have a bad feeling about this board.

Best way to get into SMP/Server Stuff cheap?

CD-RW + DVD rom combos...any thoughts?

IMHO, Plextor has always been the best of the best. For instance, when Plextor says 40X, it's really 40X. Also, if it matters to you, you can get a black combo drive from Dell.

Tweaking a Lian Li PC 60 USB

FWIW, I was reading in the Corsair forums that their latest XMS3000 revision 2.1 is using winbond rev b 6ns chips and is doing very well - quote from the Ram Guy - "look for a 200MHz CAS 2 part soon"

I know this sounds screwy but... playing an MPEG movie opened a web paged and it tried to dl something... ?

Well, there are media formats that can launch web pages (.asf I think, maybe .wmv as well) and there are web pages that embed components in them and they try to sneak 'em on your system (like gator or comet cursor).

I would guess that it would be against the MSDN licensing agreement, you'll have to read it to be sure, however, a better solution would be to just download it from MSDN subscriber downloads, assuming it's been posted (and it usually is before they ship) and you have broadband.
