I recently moved out of state and switched from Charter Internet to Cox. Before the move, my D-Link wireless router worked fine.
I can get on the internet when I connect my PC directly to the cable modem, but no dice with the router. Not only can I not get on the net, but I cannot even...
Listen to aznbomber, those are some good suggestion. Windows XP wireless management is very erratic. SP2 is an improvement, but there are still bugs. I almost threw out a perectly good wireless router, until I realized it was Windows XP that was causing my dropped and disapearing connections.
I've purchased about a dozen CPUs for homebuilts and never had any of them fail. I've had memory go bad after a year - it was very strange, all of a sudden my computer began posting 256MB instead of the 512MB I had in there. After some deducing I figured out the stick just didn't work and...
I would go with the . . .
Praetorian
Reasons:
The case will have a longer lasting appeal because it does not have a trendy look (plexiglas, lights etc.)
Cost is reasonable
Lightweight - easy to lug around for repairs or LAN parties.
Actually, an LED that indicates when the memory has been installed correctly isn't a bad idea. I know a lot of mobos and mem sticks have been RMA'd needlessly because a newbe didn't snap the stick all the way down.
I'm not sure about the antenna you're asking about, but thanks for the tip about Bitpim. I have a LG VX6000 and I didn't know there was a program to maintain the contacts, calendar, etc.
I've accidently done this a few times as well, but have not had any problems. Once the board is fully dried, make sure everything is plugged in correctly and try again. If it still won't boot, try a new CPU if one is available. Slot 1 Pentiums are super cheap at the moment.
I've ordered from them a lot. They have great deals on networking products and their shipping is fast. I've never had to return anything with them, so I'm not sure about how easy their RMA policy is.
For a cheaper setup you might want to consider a http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=15-116-606&depa=0"]Win-TV PCI Card and MythTV. I've been using MythTV for a couple of years and am very happy with it. One thing you might want to consider no matter which...
The funny thing about this question is that 7 years ago you might have been asking; "3Com vs. Linksys is 3Com worth double?" The answer then was no it is not and that answer holds true today. If the D-Link has the features you need and costs less go with it. I've had good luck with many...
My first homebuilt was an Abit BP6 with two Celeron 433s at 504 Mhz. This setup ran RC5-64 24/7 from June 1999 through August 2002. This was before really good case cooling came along.
I bought a SCSI scanner right before USB started to catch on. I could have gotten a USB printer/scanner combo for the same price as I paid for the scanner 3 months later. Doh!
Wow there are some "old timers" here! Here is my list:
IBM PS/2 Model 30 - 8086 8Mhz
Gateway 2000 P100 Family PC - Pentium 100Mhz
IBM Aptiva Model 2137 - AMD K6-233Mhz
HP Pavilion Model 4450 - Celeron 366Mhz
Then came the homebuilts . . .
Dual Celeron 433Mhz
Dual Pentium III...
I have the Sennheiser HD-280 Headphones and they sound great when listening to my Yamaha Stereo. However they do not sound as good through a PC sound card (I'm using an old SB Live! Value card). This model covers your whole ear to help cut off external noises - useful if you have loud neighbors.
Just install an older version of Linux (I used redhat 6.2 on a Pentium 133Mhz w/32MB EDO RAM) then if you are not familiar with configuring IPTables on your own you could run an easy to setup script like PM Firewall. The hardest part will be installing the drivers for the ethernet cards. One...
Couple of ideas:
1. Install an older Linux distro (Red Hat 6.2) and configure the IPTables to make a decent Firewall/Router for your home network. Note: you will need a couple of ethernet cards.
or
2. Take out the motherboard and turn it into art! :)
iPods are cool, but they aren't perfect.
See ipodsdirtysecret.com.
I'm still sporting around a 128MB Rio 500, but I'll probably upgrade to an iPod if/when it dies.
Not sure what you are going to be using the TV card for, but if you plan on making your own Tivo box you might want to check to make sure the card you buy will be supported. I recently put together a MythTV based computer and the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-250/350 is recommended because of its...
Endust makes a special amonia-free, oil-free cleaner for electronics that would be suitable for CRTs. The danger of using glass cleaners is that they will leave a "craze" which is like a white haze on your screen.
:o
Doh! I didn't notice the eject buttons on those "hard drives."
I knew I should never have doubted the Linux Guru...Nice racks BTW! Very well designed.
I'm not sure what this whole trout thing is refering to , but I'm intrigued with Dan's assimilation possibility. If the plan goes through, and Dan decides to do the RC5 burn-in, I think it would be cool if he used the name "The Crack House - Team Anandtech" . If any RC5 cracker...
With the odd work unit sizes in OGR I wanted to answer the question ...
"If I add that Celeron 466 to my OGR herd how many Gnodes per-day will that give me?"
Here is what I have come up with. Take your "nodes/sec" figure and divide it by 1000 and then multiply that by...
FYI
Unlike the fake " vector processor " Seti cards, the mPower cards are legit.
I e-mailed them back in August for some prices and here is their reply:
Thank you for your interest in Total Impact and our products.
Retail Prices: 4 X 400MHz G3 with 128MB of SDRAM $4,000. 4 X...
:) This thread had to have been inspired by the slow stats run on Sunday night.
My addition...
When you are leaving for vacation and you check three times to make sure all your machines have enough "grass" to munch on while you are gone.

Phooey...
Thunder - I'm not sure if the migraine is gone or not ... It's hard to tell with all the "side effects" ;)
viztech - I've been running the SETI client off and on for about a year. I didn't hear about DCypher until recently. I'll take a look into it.
As tempting as the beer...
Doh! That's the second time this week I've gotten in trouble for not reading the fine print . I should have also paid closer attention to the warnings regarding my Migraine prescription: :0
Possible side effects include Nausea, heartburn, irritation or pain of the esophagus (the tube that...
I popped over to this forum when I noticed you TA guys producing a larger than normal number of blocks. I now see that the increase in blocks is just as big of a mystery to you as it is to other teams. I've been participating in the D.Net RC5 challenge for over a year, but it was only until...
