  1. Re:yeesh on Pushing The 512MB Barrier On Video Cards · · Score: 1

    I actually had a 486dx4/100 with a 180 day trial of NT 4.0 on it. Talk about slow. That sucker had 24 MB ram, and a fancard. The fancard was full-length 16-bit ISA and had I/O and 2 bitchin 60 mm fans on it. Truly ahead of its time. That box had VLBus Video card to boot!

    SLI is not scan line interleave anymore, it's scalable link interface. and it would help in his application.

    In a newer article, Anandtech stated that Nvidia is taking steps to prevent this mod, and is disabling driver support for modded nforce chipsets. You need to have version 66.7x forceware drivers IIRC.

    His comment is self incriminating. He couldn't have known if the server was up or down if he wasn't trying to rtfa. I cry heresy!!!!!

  8. Re:A suggested setup on Wide Area Wireless on a Shoestring Budget? · · Score: 1

    Great advice, but not enough emphasis on testing. Test, test, test. Given the distance you're dealing with, this could take a while. So be it. Test in the sun, test in the rain, test in the snow.
    I read another comment you wrote and you said climate control was a big concern, and I can't imagine a worse scenario for you than to not be able to control(or even monitor!) your greenhouses when it's raining out.

    And test.

  9. Re:A shame original bittorrent didn't use GPL on eXeem Lite Public Beta Released · · Score: 1

    I hope that was a joke, but i'll bite.
    bittornado? or any of the plethora of BT clients? Bittornado offers much more config options than the standard BT client. I only remember using the official client for a few weeks, before switching to Bittornado(it was the Shad0w's experimental back then).

  17. Re:$483??? on HP Sells Cheap FreeDOS PC in China · · Score: 1

    But you forget that HP is exporting all of these PC's to China, and will be subject to all of the tarriffs(sp?), shipping, etc. This can drive the price up quite a bit.

  20. Archiving? on New ChromaLife 100 Canon Printer Inkset · · Score: 1

    Why is everyone so worried about how long the prints will last? I'm no digital photographer, but if i were, I'd archive the source files to CD, tape, etc. You can always reprint the pictures from that and therefore not have to worry about how long the prints will last.
