Anyone else having problems with pages refreshing on here? I've tried 3 differnt browsers with mostly the same results. FireFox 1.0 Netscape 7.2 And IE 6.0. I have to manually refresh the page each time to get the forum's to display current material.

Now as to Billl, I think you're being a bit unfair. I did say I was in RANT mode.:rude: I wasn't even really picking on you guys anyway. Just Linux users in general.

I downloaded Debian (Sarge) and it's on 15 cd's. You probably didn't need to do that. I imagine you'll only use 10% of that software. The full package has all sorts of server-related stuff and tons of source code for everything. You're supposed to pick and choose what you need. [/begin Rant Mode :)...

I think it's fair to say that in some ways there is too much choice. At least for us that have lived in the Windows world most of our computing lives. Bah! I don't think there can be such a thing as too much choice, only too little. If you don't want to have to make choices, just install Suse, Mand...

One other thing to consider doing, install your OS before you OC the board. It's best to install the OS when your positive the machine is rock stable. Only time you can be really sure of that is when it's running at spec.

Re: Powerleap Neo-S370 Adaptor - Free For A Charitable Donat

I have in my hands, a brand new Powerleap Neo-S370 socket adaptor, still shrink-wrapped. It's absolutely ideal for your BP6 PIII mods. I hear they're hard to find these days.

Billl, The BP6 is a unique mobo. Before I started using my current weak PSU I had good luck running below 2.0 volts on both cpus no-matter if OC'ed.(2 pair of 500s, 1pair of 366@550) Kuun runs a pair of 366@550 below 1.9 volts. It must be unique I've never had any luck OC'ing them below 2.0. But th...

Re: 3-wire fans

paid $10 for a pair of StarTech ball bearing units with 39mm tall heat sinks, andshould be good to go. Just watch the cpu temps carefully because I got no faith in 40mm serving as the only fans on your CPU's. 40mm fans are not built to move a lot of air. Watch the temps especially during high load....

It would connect to their server just fine, but most days report that there was nothing new to get. Antivir does use the network connection even when there was no other traffic, at least according to my firewall. AVG, on the other hand, did seem to have something new at least daily.

I used to use a program called AntiVir. However, I became concerned that days and even weeks would go by when there were no updates available. I switched to AVG quite recently because they updated their definitions more often. I suppose no system is foolproof. I've been using AntiVir for a couple y...

Re: overclocking from 366 to 550MHz

2. Have you had to increase the CPU voltage in order to get 550MHz to work? The 366's in general need a bit of a voltage tweek. It's pretty rare to find a pair that will run at 550 without doing so. I'd say what you have is pretty normal. Your lucky you even got one to run stable at default voltage...

Hi Dave, Do you think this will work even if the drive is encrypted? I've been told that may be an issue. I don't recall encrypting the drive, but I wouldn't put it past Win 2K server to do it automatically for security reasons --afterall, this is a domain controller. Thanks, _Merker19 No you would...

I suppose that depends on if you were using encription on that drive? If so and you lost the hash files on 2k your probably screwed. You could try looking at it with Knoppix-std.
