i have 6 or 7 macs lying about each dual cpu, from 867 Mhz G4's to dual 1.8 G5's. I understand time has passed these machines by, but I'd like to put em on a distributed project anyway. I used to fold@home years ago, but I looked at it now and it seems like they dont even give work...

I have the antec plus view soho case and the vnf-250. I want to plug in the front USB ports. I see the usb headers and got the info off of the antec website on the pinout. The problem is that the wire going to the ports have 3 ground wires and the board headers only have 2. I have no idea...

I dont game anymore so I'm not keepin up with the joneses. My wife now uses his thing. The fan on th X800XL is noisy an loud. Whats the best way to quiet it down? Can I spray something on it? Cheap Aftermarket cooler?

Well, one of the cheap crap sticks of Centon blew out with about 6,036,945 memory errors in memtest. It was doing stuff like tossing me back to the desktop at any given moment. :rolleyes: So I tested it and it was junk. I decided right then I was gonna stop F'in around with mismatched sticks...

Anybody know of a way to do this? I need to take a line level in signal into the computer and redirect that signal thru the USB port to a pair of USB speakers as it is recieved. Dont ask me why, my boss wants to do it that way. He wont consider anything else. Can this be done and how?

I did some checking for the first time the other day and various programs like CPU-z and such are reporting that my Sem-pr0n 3100+ never goes above 1.450 core volts, no matter what I set in the BIOS. It's a Chaintech VNF-250. I can set the core at 1.5 but it never gets there, or so says my...

I have a 3100+ in my rig now operating at 2.52 - no issues. I'm wondering how much better a 3700+ claw would be and what the normal OC'ed speed on good air cooling is for these. I can get one for 175 if I want it. What kind of speed increase can I expect?

This is my Shempron 3100+ running at 2.5 stable, using a 166Mhz divider - junk generic ram of 2 different SPD values at 3-3-3-8. I'm surprised I could get it this far with 2.7 volts. Question is, how much faster could I get with some decent RAM and a 3700+ Claw? Enough to make the 400 dollar...

I got the older DH-D0 steppin 3100+ Sempron in my Battlefield 2 box in my sig. It's running anywhere between 2.45 and 2.52 ghz depending on where I set the FSB at, rock solid. That makes a straight up 40% OC, or around a 700Mhz OC on air with no special stuff. back in the day with the...

Anyone tried the new PQI Turbo ram, the "8 layer pcb" stuff Newegg is hawking? I'm looking at this for my Battlefield 2 box, 2 1GB sticks. Here the PQI stuff Or maybe this Patriot? Patriot here I have tried the old PQI non turbo stuff and it always worked and never had any...

see my rig in my sig. the Chaintech has been a great board but it has one little flaw. The 300 fsb causes the MB to go into 1600 mhz safe mode every boot up unless I go into and back out of the BIOS beforehand. I dont even have to save the BIOS values, I just have to go into it and go back...

Peeps, I got my Sempron rolling, and I can get to 2.4 3 or 4 different ways. Generally speaking: Is a Htt speed of >300 better than a slower speed but with a closer ratio on the RAM divider? Im curious to know the net effect on one vs. the other. I can get my Chaintech to 312 or so Htt by...

Whats the best CPU cooler for s754 these days? Noise is a factor, but I'll live with some becuase I wear headphones anyway. Whats the deal? (yes I saw the other thread. No info there I dont know already. Looking for fresh dope. ;) )

My old card was a 9500 Pro, a 200 dollar investment years ago that gave me many years of gaming performance. I got a 9800 Pro and have used it for the past 2 days, Tell you the truth I didnt see a whole lot of difference between the two, the 9800 was better, just not a lot better. I only paid...

This is a budget rig for BF 2. Plays the game pretty nice with everything at medium. Rig in the sig. got 6002 in 3dmark 03. Havent done any other tests yet. CPU is running at 2370 on 1.45 volts , stock cooler, stock Ati 9800 Pro. more voltage does not seem to help. craps out at around...

I was remembering them golden oldies days :rolleyes: when BF1942 first came out, and playing it though the years. The reason why the game was ( and is) such a kick for me to this day is the never endin antics of enemies and teammates alike. I think the funniest thing I ever saw in game was...

My new system ( see sig ) is built but it has a weird flaw. I dont have any AGP acceleration. The nforce GART driver is loaded but the AGP texture accel button in DX Diag is grayed out. I can tell by the slower screen redraws thats its not working. I dont get it. Everything else seems...

I am going to order new guts for my Antec case, and the ONLY thing this rig will be used for is BF 2. It wont even be used for web surfing or email. My PM G5 handles everything else I need. I decided I didnt want to spend a lot of cash for a computer that would only play a game, yet I wanted a...

I saw this and had to post it, got it from the Jetway website. Gotta love them Chinese! Yeah! Thats who I wanna be! :rolleyes:

the new BFG Tech. A 64 board that Newegg has - I know it got a favorable review from [H] but I'm looking for some user opinions, if anyone has built one yet. I'm building a new PC for Battlefield 2 and leaning towards going with BFG for both the MB and the vid card. I'm looking at the MB and...

I got a Ati 9500 Pro when they came out - a DX9 card with 8 pipelines for 200 bucks was the deal of the year. Or the deal of 3 years. I just tried the BF 2 demo and with dynamic shadows turned off and lighting on low and most other settings to medium I can play the game on 1024 X 768 no...

Interesting tidbit found by Eug Wanker on a Apple mailing list. This would be big news if true, you could go intel and not have to buy a new Mac. Keep your G5 and run x86 stuff too, all at native speed. I dont know anything about the source or how credible it is, but I can certanly see the...

I thought this was just too good. 38 Mb Quicktime Movie. Mic & Mac - The Movie

wow. 2.7 with a 30" CD. I never thought I would say this but I think any display larger than this one is TOO big. Bigger displays than this would be a headache. It looks like CompUSA is reducing the size of the mac store inside here. They have a bunch of windows crap nestled into the corner...

Well, check this out. The demos of the xbox 360 at E3 convention were not actually xboxen at all. They were PM G5's. There was only 1 actual xbox demo that was running on the actual xbox instead of the G5 at the show, it's later on in the article...

Well, the Xbox 360 is out. Here's the advanced look at how stong the next rev of the G5/6 is going to be. Question is: is this only going to be used on the xbox, or will it find it way into future PowerMacs? There's no longer doubt they have broken through the 3Ghz barrier. I bet the...

From Apple Insider: so a few more weeks and we will have what should have been the shipping product. ;) I have to say I have had ZERO problems with it.

This was taken a while back. I always like to see what other peoples setups look like. The PC is gone ( in parts ) and the G5 is where the PC used to be. There is a HP LaserJet 1012 sitting on top of the stereo, and the Scanjet is where the G5 was, outside of that everything else is the same...

I say new iBooks, eMacs, and iMacs, all basically just refreshes. No really new stuff in hardware, just evolutions.

I did a quick test with xbench ( yes, I know it's not really a great BM program ) but I thought it might at least give a result as to the effect Quartz 2D Extreme has or does not have. Make of this what you will, I havent seen any benches of Q2DX in Tiger yet so I thought I would post one...

You can download QT 7 from Apple now. Go git it. :)

Here comes the new Powermacs we already know about, thanks to Amazon! :rolleyes:

go git em.

popped up in my software update 5 minutes ago. No word yet on what the thing does. Update that thang. :cool:

Hi yall. Just picked up a PC ATi 9250 128MB PCI card for 30 bucks. I'd love to be able to throw this thing in my G3 Server, can anyone throw me a link to PC---->Mac flashing stuff? I could'nt resist for the price, even if I have to stuff it in one of my junky PC's, but it would fit great...

Yep. Go get em. So far no ill effects here that I can see.

Keep in mind these are rumors. But if true, I wanna know where the PCI-Express bus is. :mad:

The front page and the OS X section have been "Tigerfied". More black, more small colors. What do you think of it? I vote yay - the antiseptic white look is strting to wear thin after so many years. I hope the whole site gets remade that way.

April 29th. You can forget about any hardware releases until the 30th or after. New front page is spiffy. I'm getting tired of the white antiseptic look. I hope they will put some more black and gray gradients into the rest of the site. Tiger's Here
