Thanks for all your inputs. We are leaving in a week so I don't have time to buy anything online. I'll take a trip down to the local radioshack.
Once again, thanks for all your recommendations.
Me my wife and my daughter will be taking a trip to europe from Texas and since the plane ride will be quite long I thought we could watch some movies with my newly purchased Dell 1505 laptop. Since planes can be quite noisy I thought the three of us could use headsets for audio but with 3 of...
Well, I tried your suggestions and I did get some positive results. When I transfer files after a reboot and nobody logged on I get the speed I should (I am transferring a DVD ISO image 4.3GB). I get an average rate of 22MB/S with a max of 29MB/s. The weird thing is that this speed is only...
In the hwsupport.txt file on dd-wrt they list the Buffalo WBR-G54 has having untested support, no mention of the WHR-G54S. So does this unit have third party support? If it does it will be my next purchase. I was planning on purchasing the WRT54GL but seems to be more expensive and harder to...
Yes, the "server" is running Winxp Pro. I haven't tried transferring files while logged off but I'll give it a shot this evening.
I have tried setting the speed manually but no difference, I also tried different jumbo frames sizes including disabling them, no difference.
The speed issues...
I thought that might have been the problem also so I moved the card around to other PCI slots, I even swapped out the NIC card with another one, no difference.
To make matters even worse this only happens in one direction from client to server, the other way around works fine and it doesn't...
I have a fairly large media server (1.5 Terabyte on RAID5). Since I transfer fairly large files (anywhere between 1 to 20 GB in size) I decided that I would upgrade to a gigabit network. I am aware that, at best, I would gain about 2 to 2.5 times the speed of a 100Mb network (I was hoping for...
The movie has already been transfered to HD (film to HD transfer). It is on a short list of movies that have been planned for release on HD-DVD see link below.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/br...ight-2_145616601_8/104-3786911-3335148
Not sure when they will actually be available.
It has already been shown in HD a while back (I believe it was on PPV HD). Anyway, movies, tv shows and anything else that is shot using film can be transfered to HD. HDNET has shown old tv shows and movies in HD (Hogan's Heros comes to mind and I believe that was shot in the 60s) heck the...
Let's be honest here, most people that use these do so with the intention of getting "more" than just FTA. Here in the states there is hardly anything worth getting that is Free To Air. Europe, that is another story.
I jumped on one of these, it's time to upgrade from my XP-M 2600+. Now comes the hard part, figuring out what motherboard to put this baby in. I have been reading all day and my head is spinning. I was leaning toward the DFI Ultra D but over at DFI-street they keep talking about needing to...
First off for the past 4 years I have been a very happy RoadRunner customer getting 3mbps down and 384kbps upload for 44.95 a month. I have never had DSL because i was always told that I was too far away...
Anyway, I saw this DSL deal and the possibility of 6mbps got me interested in DSL once...
You are DEFINATELY taking chances when you buy refurbished items from Newegg. I picked up a 9500 Pro for 133.50 a couple of weeks ago. As soon as a plugged it in and turned the computer on I knew it was a bad card. Vertical dashed lines appeard on the screen and it only got worse from there...
Thanks for your input...that's what I thought...I didn't really think it would improve much if any but it is nice to be able to hook up another system simulteously if needed..
Just purchased the IBM P260 22" CRT monitor (great monitor btw)...it has dual inputs, standard VGA and DVI-A. My video card is the ATI AIW Radeon which also has DVI-I output...my question is should I go out and by an DVI cable or should I just stay with standard VGA? Is the improvement...
Link I can't figure out what brand they are but it seems like a good deal. The manufacturer model is KHC232450000 K anybody have any ideas? Shipping starts at 3.95.
To get the shipping refunded by Amex you must make the purchase thru their portal American express. The only problem is that they only have a select list of vendors to buy from. Egghead is one buy.com is another (here is the entire list. You still get charged for the shipping, amex will...

Outpost has this in stock for 114.95 with free overnight shipping. SMC has a $20 MIR starting 2/7/01 until 2/19/01. The funny thing is that the rebate form is specific to Outpost.com otherwise you could purchase it for necxdirect for $99.95 plus 6.00 shipping.
Anyway not a bad deal.
I don't know if this is been posted before (i did a search but did not find it) but Overstock.com as this keyboard and mouse for 54.95 and free shipping. There is a 20 of 50 coupon for new customers to take it down to 34.95.
ITouch System
Zagor
20 of 50 new customer coupon
oops..sorry...
I use deltathree.com (aka iconnecthere.com). They are a telephony company and their rates for phone-to-phone calling cards are great. To call Italy it costs 13 cents a minute with no fees, their stateside rates are .069 cents a minute with no fees. They don't bill full minutes and you can...
It went like this:
Original price 999.95 plus 39.95 shipping = 1039.90
20% passport 199.99
10% large tube 100.00
5% using Citibank card 50.00
Total discounts 349.98
Total charged 689.92
on another note. I now kind of whish I had gotten the samsung 53" projection TV. It costs about...
I too jumped in last night at about 11pm central (talk about close :)). Got the KV32FS12 for 689.92 shipped and hopefully ebates will also come through for another 35. This is my first time using ebates, beside accessing the web site through them is there anything else I am supposed to do...
YAZ:
Those brackets should have come with your motherboard. The sloket does not have them. Anyway, you don't really need them. The sloket will work fine, just plug it in and try not to move the case around too much. Let us know your results. I finally gave up on mine and sent it back. I...
Got mine yesterday!!!! Installed it last night..had some problems with the drives but finally got things squared away in WinME. Win2K also gave me some problems but finally got the drivers to install but the TV Tuner doesn't work (oh..the joy of new hardware :)).
Anyway, I was probably one of...
Where exactly did you get Cicada's info. I couldn't find it. Can you be kind enough and post the registry tweeks you are referring to. Thanks.
Never mind...I found them...
:D I think I've achieved success:
After trying unsuccesfully to get this processor to run stable at 950mhz for most of the weekend I think I finally did it.
The key (if you didn't already know) was cooling:
The problem I believe was the slocket...yes the slocket. Let me briefly explain...
