How did you land at Anandtech?

[Schadenfroh]

Via my father and my uncle

 

[Eos]

5 days of lurking resulted in this:

I hope it's okay to revive this older thread. It matches my problem exactly.

Okay:

All new parts.

Asus K8N-E mobo with AMD 3200+ 64 cpu
WD 10k 36 gb SATA -OS only-
WD 7200 160 SATA -data only-

We installed XP Pro to the Raptor drive. Then we installed SP2 from a cd-r.

The trouble is the system does not see the 160 gb drive as a 160 gb. 130 gb is how it's listed in My Computer.

Any ideas how to remedy this one?

I had done a google search on drives not showing their full size.

 

[Trey22]

Don't remember... but I lurked for 2 years before registering.

 

[Barfo]

googled something about video cards and landed here.

Parachute failed to open and I just woke up down here.

Add another to the "I have no idea" crowd. Six and a half years is a long time - probably something video card related, through Google.

Almost the same deal here. But I found AT from FW.

got bored of sharkyextreme's not having a politics or OT forum, and a friend said the forums here at AT are far better, and he was right.

Well it all started when I took off in this plane... yea... we were sitting on this conveyor belt moving backwards. the pilot didnt believe me, but we did fly... then I had to make an emergency landing here because the pilot passed out due to the overwhelming unbelief.

An article I read online back in 98, I think, mentioned anandtech when I was looking to overclock a 300a to 450. I lurked for awhile and finally decided to sign up. I spend a lot of time here but don't post much. BTW the BH6 + 300a + Mushkin RAM still runs @ 450 today.

A friend from another forum was always linking threads to here and after a while I realized how useful this site could be so I joined.

 

[Jawo]

Was looking at building a new system and started researching here since they seemed to have many good reviews and the price checker thingy was better than other comparison sites. I was getting tired of the fluff on Bens Bargains, and very few serious posts. Took awhile to get used to the HD forum, but then went on to the OT forum and have enjoyed it very much since.

webcrawler.com. I was searching for reviews with Quake benchmarks, and happened upon Anand's article comparing the Pentium MMX 233 to the PPro 200. It sucked because he didn't use fastvid.

I don't know but there was no Google when I joined. Don't go by my join date since Anandtech crashed a few times before that and all was lost.

Though The Brother Hood Of The CPU where Anand was an inquisitive/eager newbie (where he learned how to OC).

I came here to find info on the AMD K6.

I originally joined in 1997/1998.



There have been periods when I post a lot and when I've been banned/created new IDs. I probably have 20-30k posts on this site.

Overclocking the celly 300a, of course. Getting it to 450mhz was a snap, 504mhz was the grail!

Spent more time in those major system building days on AGN, then the premier trader's forum. Long live AGN!
