8RDA+ - More trouble than I can Handle ...

Tried increasing mem timings on the Crucuail 2700 and 3200s until it wouldn't boot, FSB now at 166 - tried 100 - 133, underclocked CPU, never tried overclocking ;) I guess I should try all this again with the PNY in there - just getting a little too disgusted to gain much enthusiasm ... I will...

8RDA+ - More trouble than I can Handle ...

Wow, work has been a real drag lately. Way too busy to work much on this machine, but here's what I have tried; Replaced the Radeon 9700 pro with an old Trident I had lying around, and tried several configurations including a diagnostic set up using msconfig (no good). Then removed the LS-120...

8RDA+ - More trouble than I can Handle ...

MARMADUKE - Thanks for the tips! I will go ahead and try this. Actually I thought the thing was going to be okay since I was finally able to d/l the latest MB driver and also install the Radeon driver from CD. Things were looking good until it hung while adjusting the Radeon driver. Now it will...

8RDA+ - More trouble than I can Handle ...

Update: Last night I was able to flash to the latest BIOS and format C:\. With everything still disconnected, except for the floppy and CDRW, I did a fresh install of XP pro. At the last step in the install the machine hung. After a hard boot it came back and completed the installation. I then...

8RDA+ - More trouble than I can Handle ...

Mech and Lysimachus. I was able to recover from the bad flash and am back to original BIOS - Whew! The Koutech has never been in a slot, but will put it the slot you suggest if I decide to use it. I was already overbudget and needed to cut at least one corner. I hope to find time this week to...

Need help faxing @home

This isn't for me, but my good friend, Jeff, who happens to be quadraplegic. He does a fine job at being as independent as possible and has, since his accident which left him paralyzed from the neck down 13 years ago, learned to use a PC to help him maintain some level of independency. He has a...

Team Anandtech for ECCp-109 contest

RC5, At the risk of seeming uninformed, I must ask what this is. I mean which project/challenge is it? I don't spend enough time in here anymore to keep up, I guess... Thanks, Geoff

For those of us who worry about security...

While I read Steve's article I got fairly P.O.'d at first, thinking of all the time he's had to spend away from his important work. Then I began to see a silver lining, he's learned a whole lot and, being the obviously super sharp progammer, will very likely come up with an ingenious way to...

Why is there no Anandtech team @ United devices cancer research project?

Team AnandTech UD team stats Whatever one thinks of the motives for this project, the stated goal of finding a cure for some type of cancer (in this case a form of leukemia) is worthy of some of my otherwise wasted CPU cycles. Regardless of who makes a monetary gain, the ultimate winners will be...

Dialup

I believe the default is to trigger autodial when the client needs work. The config options menu varies some from one client version to another, this box uses; dnetc v2.8010-463-CTR-00071214 for Win32 (WindowsNT 4.0) But I am pretty sure they all default to auto dialup. So unless the config has...

Dialup

My dialup will allow fetch&flush while loading pages, it just slows the loading a bit. Why not just let the client connect automatically when it needs to?

UD question

Poof, Thanks for the info, guess I'm the one that's all screwed up. :confused: Sure makes one appreciate the well mannered, well designed scheme from Dnet, eh?

UD question

I'm not so sure they are screwed up (at least from UD's point of view), I think I read that the points credited to you depend a LOT on your 'device' scores. I know they clobber my stats because I'm on a dialup and I've only got 2gb of space on the partition where the client is installed. So I...
