Alas, it is true -- MBM5 will no longer be supported. Here is the quote directly from the Motherboard Monitor website: "Juli 6th 2004, about 7.5 years later the MBM development comes to a stop Yes you read it right, after thinking about it for several weeks I have decided to stop...

How many HD have died on you over the course of your computing experience?

One Maxtor, many years ago. I have continued to use Maxtor drives; none have died since. The death of that drive may have been related to a power supply going bad -- didn't discover that until later when the PSU failed completely. Luckily, the drive gave me about a week's warning, during...

Folding@Home vs. Genome@Home

Well, so far as I can tell: 1) There are still two teams, Folding@Home and Genome@Home; 2) I can switch back and forth at will simply by changing the Team Number in my Client, where Team Anandtech under Folding@Home is Team Number 198, Team Anandtech Under Genome@Home is Team Number...

Folding@Home vs. Genome@Home

Ah, perhaps I'm being a little hasty and had better get some additional info. Would it be better to sign up for the Folding@Home team or should I transfer from the Genome@Home team to the Folding@Home team? If I were to transfer, I assume what I have accumulated thus far would move with me...

Hmmm. Thanks for the update. Sounds like I should go ahead and sign up for the Folding@Home team as well. I'll do it! Ken

Folding@Home vs. Genome@Home

I confess I'm a little confused, so perhaps someone can help me out. My Folding@Home client allows me to select either Folding@Home or Genome@Home, but I'm entered only on the Anandtech Genome@Home team. Have I been doing work that has not been counted? Should I sign up for the Folding@Home...

win2k's scandisk on startup no workie?

Haven't really been able to discover what a "raw" partition is, but here is a link that might explain the Win2k filesystem: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnw2kmag00/html/DynamicDisks.asp I have never run Win2k, so I am not familiar with the associated file...

anyone know what the CAS latency on factory installed ram in an 500mhz IBOOK is?

gotsmack, You must have looked on the Crucial website; that's the same info I found there. Can you access the BIOS on your iBook? If you can, it might tell you what your memory is running at. Ken

New video card problem

Don't pat us on our backs yet; your problem is not yet fixed. I don't whether these cards have a reputation for running hot. I run a GeForce2 GTS and have never had a problem, but the GeForce3 and GeForce4 certainly run considerably hotter. This is probably compensated for by larger heatsinks...

Any suggestions on this startup problem?

Something else to consider -- this could be a shutdown issue. (I thought Microsoft had finally fixed this sort of problem in Win XP, but I discover that they apparently have not.) It may also be related to ACPI. (The K7S5A is definitely ACPI compliant, but sometimes things do go wrong during...

New video card problem

crawford, I think ChampionAtTufshop may have something there with his idea of an overheat problem. I would do exactly as he suggested -- open the case and point a fan at it, taking aim on that video card. I run with my case open and a small outside fan because I'm too lazy at present to...

Folding@Home Daily Stats (16-Nov-2002) - Welcome, Seneschal

OK, glad you found it. You may have noticed that there is also a USB 2.0 patch for Win XP if the touchscreen is USB 2.0-capable. I have subscribed to this thread, and would be interested in learning what the ultimate solution is, if you would be so kind as to post when it becomes known...

New video card problem

Since I don't know your system specs, I can't offer much. But, just to be sure all the bases are covered, have you installed the AGP driver for your mobo chipset if such a driver is required? If it is required and has not been installed, it could very likely be the source of your problem...

Think I will notice much of a performance increase?

jfall, I am certain you will see a performance improvement, but cannot quantify it. However, what I can tell you is that the K7S5A tends to be somewhat "quirky". I say this as an owner who installed the mobo myself (first attempt at this) and have had NEXT TO NO PROBLEMS. However, I am...

Stupid problem: my wallpaper is all jaggy

MSGAGT HAS CAUSED AN ERROR IN KERNEL32.DLL

voodoo33500, Windows ME has known shutdown issues. My girlfriend's computer (with Win ME) would BSOD or hang on shutdown about 70% of the time. Oddly, the solution in this case occurred when I added memory, increasing from 128 Meg to 384 Meg. However, there are probably less expensive...

Drive made odd noises, but tests out error-free!

I believe that Maxtor's diagnostic software will generate an ID number required by Maxtor for RMA if it detects any errors on a drive. In the absence of such errors, you may want to contact Maxtor and explain exactly what you are experiencing. They may still RMA the drive for you. I think...

Windows XP Install Problems

Laneer, Something that might help in this situation: In your BIOS Boot Menu, disable the hard drive as a boot device and make your CD-ROM (DVD-ROM) drive your primary boot device. This will force the installation to be conducted from the CD-ROM. If I recall (I did this for a Win 98SE install...

How do I install Win 98 on my system after installing Win 2k?

And there is yet another way if you're willing to pay a little cash. I run a dual boot -- Win XP and DOS -- using PartitionMagic by PowerQuest. You should use at least Version 7.0. I need to dual boot DOS to run some legacy software. I also run PM on an older machine, dual booting Win 98SE...

Help! Windows XP Pro won't finish installing!!!

I think cleverhandle may be right about the memory. There is one other thing you might try. Disable L1 and L2 cache in your BIOS. This will result in an INCREDIBLY slow installation (We're talking multiple hours; I did this with Win 98SE and the install took over three hours.). The reason...
