  1. Re:Temperature on AMD Optimal BIOS settings + Overclocking Guide · · Score: 1

    Try using the MBM 5.0 program...That is a very accurate program for detecting CPU temp, and is confimed precisely using SIS Sandra...I am pretty confident using this program. In addition, be very careful...I have had overheated CPU's that seemed to be stable, but yet they messed up the hard drive's file system...Make sure you have backups of Data you really need to keep. Thing is, for $16 INCLUDING delivery for the Thermotake Volcano 9, you have peace of mind for a very small price. For that miniscule cost, I would much rather be safe than sorry....

    Well, thats because your cooling solution is not enough for the AMD 1.4 Thunderbird...This is the HOTTEST running proccesor that AMD puts out, so you need to get a better cooling solution. A good one is the thermotake volcano 9.... I run a AMD 2600XP all the way up to 3.0 gig, and under no-load conditions, I get about 33C, and for loaded conditions, about 37 C...You REALLY need something better than what you have to cool that sucker with....75 C is WAY to high a temp for a processor !

    Good GOD, man....those temps are EXTRORDINARILY high..I'm surprised that the BIOS itself doesnt shut you down, as most of the newer BIOS's and motherboards for AMD processors are required to have heat protection circuits. Get a BETTER cooling solution ! You WILL burn out your processor !

  5. I pay Enough Taxes ! on Vonage Starts Charging 'Regulatory Recovery Fee' · · Score: 1

    I have VoIP service (IConnecthere) specifically because there are no extra state or federal taxes tacked on. The moment there is, I will find another provider that doesn't. I already pay state & federal taxes & franchise fees on my cable broadband connection. Double taxed? Why didnt the goverment think of THAT one before? In addition, I KNOW what goes on in the phone companies, I worked at one time for NYNEX. Triple time for Sundays, 4 hrs paid time just to go pick up your paycheck on Thursdays, ect, ect. I work to hard for my money to blow it on conventional phone service. No wonder phone service is so exspensive ! Not me, mi amigos !

    Dude..... Try this...I pay $15.95 for a toll-free number, 60 free incoming minutes, and 400 outgoing long distance, and 1.9 cents a minute for every minute thereafter. IConnectHere....and there service is excellent. Total Cost for overall toll-free service? $49 for Roadrunner, $16 for toll-free number....$65

  8. I already pay taxes on internet service! on Why VoIP Makes Telecom Regulations Irrelevant · · Score: 1

    I dont know about everyone else, but I already pay franchise fees and local, state, and federal taxes for my broadband connection. They want to additional taxes for a service that I subscribe to on the Net? Well, then lets tax those who buy music online too! Lets tax every other service available on the Internet that people subscribe to as well. Voice over IP is just another service like any other on the net, and I dont feel I should be taxed any different for that service than for any other.
