Same PSU on both boards, not noticed any problems with the caps on either the boards nor the vga cards, but will check...

No, I haven't gone potty over the loss of my venerable BP6 (I have had it over 5 years), but it does seem to have died a funny death. It's been a while before it went but I thought i'd post a quick Q before the gf forces me to get rid of it. One day I went to boot it up & got no video, swapped the c...

An easy way to make Mandrake (at least 9.0 anyway) shut down is to put append="apm=power-off" in the options line of the lilo.conf entry for the SMP image. Works for me.

Called my BP6 Bernie for reasons completely unknown to myself

Always has been, always will be.

Does anyone know of any program that allows you to have multiple truly independent desktops in 2kpro. By independent I mean that you are able to change the actual layout of the desktop (the icons showing & their position, the background, etc..) I'm just wondering because there a set of program's I u...

Erm, the old stats page appears to be down again I'm afraid

Good to see the whole site still up 'n running though

Like it! It's a good improvement & must've taken a lot of work. I like the close integration of the message board with the rest of the site. With the old style I tended to head straight on over to the forum skipping the front page as there was rarely anything there that wasn't mentioned on the forum...

Just downloaded the file, got an average of 46KB/s using opera's built in file downloader and that's on a 512KB/s cable connection over in the UK on my BP6 that's running Gnucleus for file sharing & downloading one or two things (slowly :roll: ) When I get a shot I'll give it a run & see what happen...

What! So you wouldn't be happy with 49ºC CPU1, 52ºC CPU2 & 51ºC system. Don't know whats wrong with you mutter, mutter, grumble

It's not been that hot for a while but I've only just clocked them 433's to 533 again so I think I'm going to have to take a little cooling adventure.

So it doesn't bend right anymore but tell us, has it improved its stability, perhaps reduced its operating temperature. Will you put a howto up on the web to show us how to tweak too?

The "No Longer Watch this topic" button only applies if you have clicked the "Watch This Topic" button previously. Clicking this means you get an email everytime a new post is submitted on this topic. So, clicking to no longer watch a topic will just mean that you won't recieve emails anymore. Click...

Is there anything showing up as c: at all or has it just decided that it does'nt like that letter anymore?

PC133 will run fine along side PC100 ram as the rating just tells you the max frequency the RAM is supposed (i.e. tested & certified) to work at. As you are unlikely to be getting the ole BP6 much near let alone the 100MHz mark you are well within the safe operating boundaries of the chips. From wha...

At least if they're registered there's a slight chance they might give as well as take.

Registered for me.

That would appear to make sense as if you're telling the OS that there's another CPU it will try & designate some work to that CPU, Only to find that there's nothing there & then have to do it on the original chip.

I'd be happy to help with the FAQ's if I an but I don't think I'll really have that much to add so might I suggest that if I come up with anything I just forward it to you/inactiveX/any others.

Well I got it installed without too many problems. It wouldn't work in Pci slot 4 because it was having a bit of a tiff with the SBLive in PCI 5. Moved it to the empty 3 slot & everything appears to be hunky dory. Comparisons of scores show a 50% increase in sequential read & write functions but onl...

Ooo, ooo. I've not installed it yet but I saw it in Maplins for 20 quid so thought I might give it a go especially considering Maplins generous unwanted item return guarentee (though I have a sneaking suspicion that this might be excluded). It's not a promise so I expect to be shouted at by RRLedfor...

In 2K when you open task manager and go to the performance tab, if you go to the "view" menu & then the "CPU History" option it opens & gives you the choice whether to have 1 for both CPU's or 1 each.

It won't work because the 566 celerons are celeron II's, or of the FPPGA form factor (original cele's are PPGA type), the difference is basically one of pin layout being slightly different. The Neo is a socket that goes inbetween the chip and the mobo socket to reroute the pins. Not sure if powerlea...

Uh, yeah. I ran out of time

I'm getting nothing, other than a "sending request to slagathor.bbs.us" message

I'm in & LORD works alright. Been stomping through the forest killing things, Lord Tom's the name. I ran away from the old man though, thought that was a little harsh to kill him. Am I just a girl? Always wondered what a BBS was like. I used to hear about them years ago when I had my venerable Sincl...

You're PCI bus in particular you want to be as close as possible to 33MHz else you could have problems with some of your cards. The AGP clock you should probably leave on 1/1 if at all possible, then if you start getting BSOD's stating issues with the graphics driver, or other problems that appear t...

Gotta be 2K all the way. No stability probs, lets me fiddle with it where required & lets me run all the programs I need to.

XP, hmmm, well lets just say my experience with it wasn't a great success
