A different PC makes all software needing registry entries **** out and reset to defaults (or go into a not licenced software mode). Smart novell idea, but a direct copy of U3 which was first to market with the same idea (just this can be installed by users, vs factory install on USB devices...

The DirectX 9.0 update that everyone seams to be missing: (OS Pirates Especially :lol: ) First and foremost, if you have problems gaming under Windows Vista then download: directx_feb2007_redist.exe - from microsoft.com...

So with F8 can people overclock, even just raise the FSB by a mere 2 MHz ? I'll know soon enough...

I always thought of it as "what commercial software companies do with 64 GB" is frightening. :wink: "It only takes one bad line of code to crash the stock market of an entire country / nation." Not to mention what a mere 500 bytes used to be capable of (and in some ways, still is). (Yeah...

My sig is only 64 KB now, so could make it with 4 - 8 times the frames, and change the duration of each frame. The MX510 was fantastic - when it came out, along with the MX500 The MX518 and G5 have superceded them though.

I'll be going over a Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 (Rev 1.0), with BIOS F8 installed in about 4 hours. Clearing the BIOS (remove battery for 60 seconds while unplugged from mains power) is an important step. - Try this instead of shorting the CMOS CLEAR jumper. I'll be raising the FSB to 333, from 266...

The DQ6 doesn't have a PS/2 port for keyboard, does it ? ED: Apparently it does, I should punch out that part of the back plate then....

It will if the scenario is 100% data transfer - which no scenario can ever be. There must always be an element of seek time in every scenario. Thus it will be much faster than you're thinking with that calculation - Which is only ever a true & accurate calculation if, and only if, you are...

520 Watts Peak usually means 416 Watts sustainable, or less, could be as low as 312 Watts sustainable. Chances are it is between 312 and 416 Watts sustainable though, so around: 364 watts sustainable. I should be able to handle a 520 watt draw for 60 seconds, past 30 seconds though would be...

I expect a 10,000 rpm HDD vs a 7,200 rpm drive would lead to a 2.12x to 2.94x times performance increase in this scenario. This is assuming both HDDs are the same size. (300 - 320 GB) Instead of spending 80% of the time seeking, and 20% of the time transferring data, it would spend 57.6% of the...

Turning Write-Back caching off caused a massive performance hit - I will not be trying that again (Well maybe just to time it, to record just how much slower it was). I am not performing purely sequential I/O, as stated above my I/O queue sits between 4 and 64 quite often. Sure the backup is...

Dude the Core 2 Duo with DDR1-400 works fine, especially on the mainboard he was originally looking at. (The Asrock one). Look around: www.anandtech.com In fact it is only a few percent slower, and in some cases faster than DDR2-533. Intel CPUs have a MCH (NorthBridge / Memory Controller Hub)...

Wouldn't doing what you're hinting at change the GUID of the drive ? Wouldn't be worth the trouble. I've just run a backup on my system, could just install Windows XP Pro x64 Edition (I want to run x64 and x86.[IA-32] at once anyway) in the 2nd 32 GB partition and set it up for advanced SATA...

Oh, FYI PIO Mode 1-4 is going to limit the peak throughput of the optical drive too, which may cause burns to fail or give very low quality burns with heaps of resumes being used on the media (more at higher speeds). Ditto for peak read speed off the drive.

Damn, You'll need to find out why the Pioneer optical doesn't want to enter DMA Mode, because PIO Mode is going to hammer the CPU every time that drive is accessed. The 'CPU' usage will show in Task Manager at the bottom left of the window in the status bar, but the usage will not show up in...
