I just got my Saphire Radeon 4850's and am just freakin amazed at the performance boost over my old Geforce 8800GTS but I have an odd issue that has cropped up. When I boot the system, rather than going to my hard drive to boot, it is trying to access my DVD drive (no disk was in the drive). It...
Hey guys and gals. I have (2) Western Digital WD800s that I am not using any more. I took down one of my servers and pulled the twin 500 gigs from that and figure that should do it for me for a while ;) but now what should I do with the old drives? I have a 40 gig that I am going to use as my...
Thought I would throw this out here because SOMEBODY has to know how to do it. What I need to do is run an application as a service so no windows open up. This program needs to run at startup and does background copying to a database but what is happening is people see the item in the task bar...
now that the G3 iPhone is announced...what do you think is going to happen to the iPod line? I have talked to a couple of friends that still work there and they are waiting as well. If you look at the current price structure, 8Gig iPhone at $399 and the 16Gig at $499 (IIRC) 8/16/32Gig Touch for...

hey guys...got up this morning and wanted to check things and realized my client wasn't running anymore on my main box...quit the client and restarted it and came up with the following error

I did check the stickies and tried to do a search on this but is it possible to use both ATA and SATA drives in the same system? I am cheap and don't want to give up my current drives (ATA) and want more storage so in my next upgrade I will probably use SATA as it is easier to hide the cables :D...
ok...now HERE is something I hope we can take advantage of on the Mac side with 10.4 since the client is built into system prefs... I can see easy borging or farming here :D
ok...I have my wifes POS celeron 366 cranking away and it looks like it is stuck at about 5% on P1406...has a start date of 4-2 and I have a strange feeling it isn't going anywhere....SSSSOOOOOO how do I kill this protein and have the client go get a new one
I was looking at the Sempron's at the egg and saw something that just doesn't look right...for the Palermo core and the Multimedia Instructions it only lists SSE2 and 3DNOW! but if I look at the Paris core shows MMX, SSE, SSE2, 3DNOW!, 3DNOW!+
any idea why that is?

Ok..I have been doing some reading on this as I had been looking at a new system (see current in sig) and my current system is starting to piss me off (blew PSU this weekend) so now I am seriously considering upgrading my system. My issue is I have been out of the loop long enough that I am not...
Ok...I have started folding again and have all of 2 questions. I am running the OSX version on my work box Dual 1.25 G4 but for some reason it doesn't look like it is taking advantage of both CPUs? I have run it before and had both maxed out not problem but now they are either running at 50% or...
