DU - Health Concerns
Basically, DU is used in the armor and shells of M1A1s and Challenger tanks. Iraq currently has no known capability to deploy DU munitions.

for some looking for a rather elementary proof:
E = hf
f = c/lamda
E = hc/lamda
P = mv, where v = velocity of packet, c
= mc
but E = mc^2 (this assumption requires that the particle energy hf = relativistic energy for mass mc^2 - I'm not entirely sure of the full implications for this...
Righto, this link pretty much destroyed any hope I had of overclocking... Apparently the i845MP chipset and P4-M only support a 400MHz bus, and most likely the bus ratios for that FSB alone.
Oh well, it was a nice thought while it lasted.
I was hoping to overclock it using a software utility like SoftFSB instead of looking for jumpers/bios options :)
About the heat thing... I can see that an overclocked CPU will produce more heat than the same CPU at stock, but what are the heat statistics like when comparing a CPU overclocked...
In fact, that's exactly what I'm planning to do :) I recently did a price comparison between Australian and Japanese Dell retailers, and I generally found that Australian laptops can carry a premium of anything between $1000AUD and $2000AUD (~$500-$1000 USD)over their Japanese counterparts...
Hi all
I'll be moving to Japan for 5 years in just over two weeks, and as such need a desktop replacement weighing under ~35kg :P (mostly the monitor incase you were wondering). I'm looking at a Dell Inspiron 8200 with the following specs:
P4-m 1.8GHz
nvidia Geforce 4 Go 440
512MB DDR RAM...
I'm currently using them on a Geforce2 PRO 64MB without any issues. I haven't noticed any significant changes in performance thus far, but will be paying special attention over the next few days. Can we get some other opinions on these drivers?
While the general state of technology in Australia is fairly reasonable, you certainly won't have access to the insane deals you currently have in the US. But I guess you already knew that. One real area of concern, however, is broadband. I saw a lot of complaints on this board about news of...
I agree with Shalmanese on this point - this is not ONLY a refresh rate issue. however, I do suspect that it has something to do with his driver config. The only possible way of increasing the framerate in an application is to either reduce the number of steps per cycle or shortening the...
'Her Majesty's secret service' was another Bond movie which had a long ski chase scene. I'm not so sure about the details of the girl, but I know Sean Connery wasn't bond - some Australian guy apparently
Hi Rossman
While simply flicking the switch on the back of the power supply may solve any problems related to voltage, I doubt it would do anything about frequency. I'm not sure what the frequency tolerance of a power supply is exactly, but the distributor pages over here (yes, I live in...

My mum has an ongoing interest in computers, though has rekindled itself since she was introduced to Kazaa (ie, West Wing episodes:)). She knows how to burn, how to reinstall windows, format, fdisk, setup a basic network, the works :) Over the next few weeks I'll be showing her how to convert...
