not necessarily for games, but for anything on my desktop.......or any program in my tray. i found a great app called "GIMP"....but it has photo-editing features and is too big....plus the screenshot resolution is low.
i want a simple scrrenshot-only app. know of any?
hi guys,
i like my apps nuts-and-bolts...no embellishments
can you guys recommend a freeware/shareware screenshot app?
compact, no extra features, just quality screenshots.
i wanna copy my directories...not the data in them.
...also...not a screenshot.
in other words, i wanna copy all the folders i have in an explorer window, and be able to edit my copy.....but i don't want to copy the 100's of gigs of data in those directories.
you're right, i never did quite specify that it had to be 939.
but i was indeed referring to "normal" pc usage. how about we re-specify?
is there such thing as a Socket 939 dual-(as in 'simultaneous')cpu motherboard?
my apologies for any ambivalence....(oops, i did a george bush)
i recant my last..........................CP5670 was right!
not a single one of those hits you mentioned, groogle, was for a socket 939! :roll:
there are no SMP motherboardsk, socket 939
i see, the force is strong with this one.
and that's why you, sir, are a senior member!
i am but an apprentice.
my key terms were "dual + cpu" and "dual + processor".........
and it is precisely with this innate failing that all fo us have, that i can remove every vestige of ego i...
does anyone have any information about dual-cpu motherboards? heck, i can't even find a single review after 2001, after hours searching on google. (even overclocker and pc sites)
socket 939
sorry 'bout the double-post but i have an important question that i think supercedes a simple edit to the last thread.
as many regulars in this forum know :P, i'm gearing up (researching) in preparation for building a new system. so obviously it would be rash for me not to investigate...
i understand that AM2 is replacing 939.......but the recent AT article seems to say it's replacing the 940?
http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2688
so, what i want to know is: 939 is the AMD standard for PCs, and 940 is the standard for servers (correct, no?), so which...
the weird variations you're seeing in your bulbs are probably due to one simple factor: the mechanical connections.
the fixture sockets themselves are very thin metal, and get tweaked easily; so in two different fixtures you have slightly different levels of resistance (ahead of the bulb's...
cool...
you've seen me hard at work here. :P
After all my questions, i'm really starting to lean toward the Athlon 64 X2 4800. I'm not really hip to dual-cpu boards so when i saw SagaLore's rig it was an eyeful. I guess it could get pretty expensive doubling up on the processor. If you...
Nice to see you again, Provia
is there an easy way to tell if your software app does this? i guess you could run it and maybe just see it in the Task Manager?
Also, if you want to use 64-bit processors/ operating system, do you have to specifically match a mobo to this requirement?
i'm interested in what gains can be had from a dual-cpu motherboard. i haven't found any recent articles on AT on this subject.
this all started when one particular member posted their rig, which boasted a Tyan Thunder K8WE S2895A2NRF...running Dual AMD Dual-Core Opteron 280s (2400MHz)...
okay. i guess i didn't know what a behemoth understanding RAID would be. i've just spent the last couple of hours reviewing everyone's links/ references, and it's possible that i'm even more cloudy on the subject now than i was initially.
Tostada...you played devil's advocate so i checked...
that sounds feasible to me, f95toli.
however, the cost (and money is the prime mover in all infrastructure equations) of providing nitrogen-cooled cabling precludes its widesperead use...to the extent that it may only even be heard of in arcane computer-geek threads. :laugh:
only a...
much thanx to everyone who responded to this thread.
i'm only posting here because because i'm truly trying to learn, and to fully exploit (in a good sense) the beauty of forum communities--and their collective wealth of knowledge-- in order to decrease my learning curve.
my questions are...
i understand your statment about the "R".
To my understanding, the pros you get in a basic (i.e., 1-5) RAID setup are: 1.) redundancy; or 2.) faster read times.
i thought that having a 2-disk RAID 0 config. basically halved your disk read time, and that having a 3-disk array cut your time...
this is my area of expertise.
1. ) power lines are aluminum: because aluminum is cheaper, and much lighter. those long power lines are heavy.
2.) because many are more efficient and waste less energy than electricity. (For example: electricity is generated by spinning large magnets. why...
thanx, bro..
i've read that: "RAID 5 writes are expensive in terms of disk operations and traffic between the disks and the controller"......[and that]..."RAID 5 implementations suffer from poor performance when faced with a workload which includes many writes which are smaller than the...
yours truly here,
i posted the following, verbatim, in the motherboards forum. only one person responded (thanx, Zap). i would like more input. hope you guys and gals can help:
"(2) questions. Isn't it true that the RAID 2 configuration has gone the way of the dodo bird? ....meaning...
thank you, bro.
i will look into trueimage.
actually, i could try to play it off...but the fact is i did not even realize ghost could do that.
:o
i think sometimes we get so cyber-dazzled...and so lost in a vast array of apps, which we often only know how to utilize 10% of.
but i've...
hiya friends,
i'll keep it simple:
i really 'dig' norton ghost. i ghost my drives regularly, and never had any problems. UNTIL.......i recently re-allocated (freed up) some disk space with Partition Magic. critical error: i re-named some drive letters
Ghost went haywire! it totally...
sorry, bro. my cpu usage was mentioned a the top of this thread.
it's for pro audio apps, which happen to run in multiple instances (numerous threads and handles)...and no, i've never maxed my CPU but i would like a little more breathing room.
and thank you to all whom have contibuted...
Power Engineer summed it up best. I'm an industrial electrician. Basically, power surges refer to either transient voltages, or inrushes of current caused by either a failed neutral or a phase-to-phase condition in your supply conductors.
Simplified: parts of your computer's power supply...
i know that overlocking is a whole 'nother universe into and of itself. so i don't wanna get too far into that , or stray too far from the subject here.
But to overclock the Opterons (which you seem to make sound as if they are reliable even while overclocked), is it as simple a matter as...
ruminating.
yeh, been reading this forum, and this thread in particular, and what you guys are saying is really starting to sink in.
question for you Provia. you said:
simple...but profound.
i presently have the baby brother of your CPU. the mono-core Athlon 64 3400. It's frequency...
This is the (For Better Information on RAID) thread....which is exactly what i need.
(2) questions. Isn't it true that the RAID 2 configuration has gone the way of the dodo bird? ....meaning RAID 2 is no longer utilized? if so, WHY?
To my knowledge, RAID 2 allows for extremely high...
by no means do i think any of you guys are patronizing me, prov. i still have similac on my breath...i'm the first to admit that. :P
i am actually leaning towards AMD...if for no other reason that all my research (including this forum) indicates that Intels run hotter.....thus, requiring...
thanx prov,
yeh, i'm gonna get some more RAM 'cause i wanna keep this pc separate and up-and-running.
i've pushed this pc to the edge before running multiple downloads and probably a dozen programs (not including background processes)...to where the computer would tell me that my "virtual...
hi bro, nice to meet you
i'm a real novice in motherboard architecture and other high-falootin in-depth computer stuff. and i just became a member on this site.
but what i am relatively knowledgeable about is cables.
i'm a commercial/industrial electrician with Local 569, San Diego. I...
thanx a lot, guys.
alaric, your input was definitely helpful, especially on pin nomenclature.
greenman, i appreciate you playing devil's advocate; i'll deninitley do more research on the Opteron CPU you mentioned. i'll add that alaric may or may not have told me some inaccuracies, but he...
thanx guys,
i really appreciate the input (though i have this odd suspicion that alaric was ragging on me!) ....not quite sure, tho, because i'm so utterly ignorant to this stuff that between the Greyhound cores and the Hammer thingamabobs, i got lost in the matrix.
Hey, this black guy...
brand new member, guys.
not a computer pro. about to build my first! very specific application. here's the problem:
yes, i game a bit...but i'm a pro audio guy. i make music. in researching hardware i see that the comp universe revloves around graphics, and gamers....not audio
i want...
