pretty sure it's your testing software... My preferred way of testing LAN speed, instal TeraCopy and copy some huge file from computer to computer, and see how it goes... And wireless-n's claims of "300Mbps" are to be taken with a grain of salt, it may reach these speeds under very limited...

sorry for the necromancy, but this thread is one of the top results in a google search, so I thought I should add a rather simple solution: Install windows from a 64-bit ONLY disk. The problem seems to arise when the 32-bit installer for a 32/64 disc gets confused by the drivers. Sure, it's...

the 1201 bios, and the power supply is a 620W Enermax liberty.

He means that the expression "Oh, this computer's more than fast enough", or anything to that effect, should not exist on the [H]ard forum ;)

The way I see it... Intel originally planned to release these chips at 3GHz and more. But, since the massive speed boost compared to the previous chip would be too much, they slowed them down so that they would be a linear evolution, speedwise, and give them enough headroom to release faster...

Well I'm over here in Bangkok, Thailand, so if the price of the ticket is worth it to you... :D

I have to agree with turtletrax, I have not been on this forum in quite a while, but I kinda expected a more enthusiastic response :p What happened to pushing the limits, in fact, blasting the limits? <old man>That was being [H]ard in my day!</old man> But seriously, I do appreciate all your...

Just Corsair XMS DDR800, 2x 1GB sticks. at 3.6GHz it's running at specification speed, so there should not be a reason to overvolt it, right? And even if I bring down theram speed by the multiplier, it does not help.

I have a E6600 on an asus P5W DH, which can run stable at 3.5GHz with a coolermaster Hyper6+ heatsink (noisy at full speed). Today we upgraded to a good watercooling set (Danger Den TDX, Maze4 for the chipset, hard drive cooler, two 120mm radiators and a D5 pump), temperatures have dropped...

I'm currently using a very stacked Stacker 830 (GF7950 + extra GF6200 for secondary monitors, and Hauppauge PVR500 dual TV tuner, 4 hard drives and 2 DVD drives), so space is at a premium: At the moment I managed to shoehorn a Thermaltake Bigwater 735 (not so good, I know, but there's not...

Got myself an 830 2 days ago, and I also have the older huge Stacker, as well as a lian-li v1000 I can say is that the 830 is the best out of the 3, if only the side panels were as easy to open as the V1000! You really have to push and pull and put a lot of force to slide them out, hopefully...

We'll see, we'll see... I may just get a dual core AMD system for my personal use in the future, the P4 one is for business use.

OK, guess it's time for a new mobo then... Asus P5WD2 looks like what I'll get. As for AMD CPUs, yes I did do a lot of comparison between the two, as I said this will not be primarily a gaming PC, but rather one where three or four CPU intensive applications will run at once. Thus, Dual cores...

I have an Asus P5AD2 Premium based on the 925X chipset. I can't seem to find any info anywhere about running dual core P4's on it, as far as I understand only the 945 and 955 chipsets would be able to do this? So, if I need a new mobo, which would be recommended, with similar...

Did some experimenting with this back in the good old days of my celeron600@900... cardboard and duct tape ducts, don't have any pictures for reference, though. Tried stacked fans, fans at different points in the duct, etc, and found that stacked fans, ESPECIALLY if they are of different...

Strobing from bottom to top, and with a synchronised Jacob's Ladder on top! Total mad scientist computer, or something out of Dexter's laboratory?

Oooh OK I understand now... Actually now that I think about it and look at the pictures, I would have needed to modify it too, as there was no slot for an AGP card... since my mom's pc uses built-in graphics (she does not play anything more graphically intensive than Bookworm), it's fine. Had...

It's the computer of DEATH! But back on topic I picked up one of those cases, and rebuilt my mom's pc into it, stabdard ATX mobo, no modifications necessary... perhaps a slightly different version? I just had to dremel an opening for the monitor plug on the PSU, but that was it...

yeah that's the problem we have at work as well, we need to import some chemicals that are usually available as sprays, but need to ask the manufacturers to ship by sea freight or by air, but in liquid form... So... can you send me a couple one gallon drums of duplicolor, anyone? :D

That's what I call a nice big blank modding canvas :) Just some ideas. some might not be feasible, but it's always nice to dream ;) Personally I see an industrial kind of theme to this beast. You have a lot of space on the top... why not dual radiators, but use the transmission or oil...

Actually these are my work areas at the office... Enjoy the mess, and excuse the crappy image quality, no decent camera on hand... Main desk, graphic design PC (P4 2.4 OC'd to 3.0GHz, baby), 1GB RAM, color laser printer (HP laserjet 2500L, color reproduction sucks, stay away), 19" LG flatron...

Very very very interesting and informative thread, stresstest... /me looks at his Asus laptop with original paint starting to wear off near the palm rests... Then looks at logitech optical mouse supplied with the laptop... I did paint my old logitech optical mouse (standard old 2-button...

Aaaah Ghetto mods... Some history there... The first one was with my HOT old K6-2 400... that thing ran about 60C on load, and not much cooler on idle, maybe 40 or so. Now, in the computer room, my PC was located right below the air conditioner... Some cardboard tubes and duct tape later, I...

AFAIK that text was made using Ulead Cool3D, really easy, fun program :)

Black and yellow for sure! My two main cases in the past have had that color scheme, with an industrial kind of look, can only find pics of the second one, not the first one (most pics died in HDD crash) Older case was a small midtower Enlight, same kind of scheme, but with blaxk...

AFAIK that is a resistive system, like a good ol' potentiometer, where the unneeded energy is basically given off as heat. Not a big deal with little tiny race cars, but with those monster turbines... meltdown? Anyway a PWM circuit is by far a much more elegant solution, and wastes a lot less...

Horde is a very efficient web-based solution... mail, calendar, contacts, tasks, memos....

Hey all, My friend's brother is planning to install a WiFi network in the shopping mall where he works, so he's asked me to think of a good way of doing this... My knowledge of WiFi is pretty good, but somewhat limited, so I turn to the networking forum for help :D First of all, to make...

Wow... 15 years experience? That's pretty high... Actually I'm currently taking a break from studies and working as a more general computer guy in a friend's company, and I will be doing my final year in Network Engineering... Getting plenty of practice here wrestling with despotic ISPs :p...

Hello all, My office uses a VPN, and I would like to use it. Unfortunately, the server requires a public IP address, and I'm using a PPPoE DSL connection, which actually gives me a private address (10.x.x.x), so I cannot log onto the VPN. Is there a way to change my IP so that I can be...

Hello, Due to some very very veeeery annoying restriction by my ISP, I have signed up for a public VPN. That's working fine, but I am just wondering about the safety of my computers. I have a lot of shared folders, to use on the home and office networks, so I just wanna know if they'd be...

made a mural for my company, 3 meters by 1 meter at 150dpi... file was like 600Mb at one point, poor 3GHz P4 with 1Gb RAM slowed to a craaaaaaawl... But the end result? Priceless! Too bad I don;t have a pic of it with me now....

Just created this yesterday... got a 1600x1200 version too if anyone wants it, just PM me!

Ok, I've downloaded the .dms file from the apple website, buuut... How do I install it? :D edit: nevermind, renamed it to .dmg, works like a charm! weirdos... why give a file the wrong name?

mine are mainly related to bad measurements.... number one, window on the side of my case, placed a little too low, so the acrylic panel actually hits the frame of the case when i close the side panel (which I had hinged at the back), so it prevented the side from closing properly... similarly...

Hey all, I've recently acquired an Asus notebook, and find it quite hard to see the keys at night... I've got one of those led on a gooseneck usb cable lights, but that's not so great... what I'm wondering about is the possibility of backlightinhg the keyboard... it is made of translucent but...

Wow... I've always wanted to do something like that, but just never came around to it... anyway, if you want an idea for powering the machine without too much bulk, you could use a 24V battery, and a set of PWM circuits with capacitors to smooth the output to give you the different voltage rails...

I've decided to set up my webcam in my room, there's been some stuff moved around or missing over the past few weeks, so I'd like to see who's at cause here... Anyway, I'm thinking of a program with motion detection, but that records video after it is triggered. I've experimented with VisonGS...

Ok, first of all a little background info... I'm based in Bangkok, Thailand, and broadband options here suck donkey balls. I.E. pay $375 per month for 512/128, limited to a total cap of 200MB/hour combined upload and download... On the more affordable side, you have a local/inter combo, whereas...
