What was the name of your primary/elementary school?

First Marshall, then Dillon. Clever of me to know there would be a "Gunsmoke" twenty years later.

Do I need to reinstall XP Pro after adding a RAID 0

Anyone have a link or report on this s/w? I did a s/w raid 5 ( Tom's Hardware hack) on a win 2000 box that works well. However, this hack is limited to win2000 or XP Pro. I have an XP home with Intel chipset I would like to s/w raid.

SP3 RTM?

SP3 RTM? Yes. yes. It's here! The link that larciel posted was based on typical corporate flack, it seems. Heck. I thought the horn blowing yesterday was a Mexican wedding. Must have been about XP SP3 Release-To-Manufacturing. Anyway, it will be nice to do an install without then...

few old ide hard drives want to make a raid?

If you have an xp PRO or windows 2000 pro OS, you can do a software raid by patching some files and glue the drives together. The info is from Tom's Hardware ~2004. I did it on a networked box using a gaggle of three drives plus a boot drive. The drives are a 400g PATA, 400g SATA, and a 320g...

Smoking hot low end Celeron 430/ECS CPU/MOBO combo

The reason the BSEL mod is iffy with some boards ( works on all the ECS board I've tried, though) is that the mod does not do anything directly to the CPU. It only signals the BIOS of a higher FSB speed needed. Some bioses will ignore the bogus BSEL bits and just set FSB by the CPU id, and...

what's happening with car aerodynamics?

Well, I had a slope-snooted Prelude of that era until quite recently, and I really did like its looks. I am now staring out the window at the front end of a neighbor's new Dodge truck and, yes, big and blunt. That seems to be the way styling is going. I have been doing aerodynamic stuff all...

FAQ: Free AOL/Kaspersky Active Virus Shield

The dl files seem to be the same when retrieved either way now, same size and both AVS_25.exe. BTW, I discovered that by back-buttoning and refreshing the email address page you can get as many keys as you need and only muck up one of your email accounts. A little late for me, but other might...

4GB of HP branded DDR2 667Mhz memory for under one Benjamin!!!

Yeah, I got caught in that Soyo motherboard "lost rebate" thing. I got the Ontario (Calif) Police Dept.'s fraud division very interested, enthusiastic in fact, and my detective payed them a visit. I think that helped. Soyo "found" some of the missing rebate letters and emailed other to...

Aren't they cute!

The gist of the OP's post is an anti-Arab "ain't it awful" topic. Actually all middle-eastern derived religions have had that characteristic to kill "the others", the non-believers. If you are in need of some background, read the book of Ester to see ME problem solving in action. Its been going...

Dear God... the number of Americans who believe Saddam was directly involved w/ 911 RISES to 41%

My guess is that the poll is correct. We have a president that is totally in resonance with AIPAC, a lobbying group for a foreign country, and which in saner times would have to lawfully register as such. This president has made a strong and continuous association between Iraq and 9/11, and flag...

Question about voting:

In my circles, we are watching the media black-out of Paul with concern. It is something to behold. In the major media, they march their candidates before the public, then do self-serving polls that amount to measuring the name recognition that they induce. In contrast, polls that judge the...

Did AnandTech lose some of the forum programmers or does FuseTalk 3 suck this bad

I believe Jason Clark has a principal interest in fusetalk. Could be wrong. It was a few years ago. AT has been my fav since Anand's server-in-the-bedroom days. But, becoming stuck on just one site such as AT might be a mistake now.
