IBM won't take RMAs on those drives unless it fails their proprietary self-booting DFT app. I have one that is totally fuxored and it still passes their app, so they won't RMA it. BTW....they must pi$$ on anyone who is using their drives in anything but a PC, because their DFT only runs on that ...

Splitters have no effect on speed or 'sync', only the amount of signal power required to get back to the headend. It is only once your cable is split to the point that the modem is maxxed out that it will drop offline.

The wiring standard for most HFC cable companies these days is an RG56 drop to ...

FYI: A highpass filter is an in-line device that only allows certain frequencies to pass. The 'high' in 'highpass' filter means it only passes high freqs and blocks out low freqs.

Cable modems upload a low freqs....thus a hp filter will knock out your cable modem.

Cable companies typically use ...

Coming from a cable modem engineer: DO NOT USE BOOSTERS.

1. You should never need a booster if your wiring is right.

Why? You are going to boost the noise along with the signal, because the signal to noise ratio is already too low. Think of it like turning the volume up on a weak radio station ...

I would recommend buying a factory service manual specific to your car.

Most manuals already assume you have the basic fundamentals of mechanical work and tools.

What are you trying to do?

Partitions increase the network security of your machine immensely. Many viruses and trojans only work on C: partitions, too.

I love the saftey gear they were using for handling LN2. Didn't they see Terminator 2? That stuff is no joke.

I just bought one of the WD SE 80gbs. It is extremely quiet, silent really...and I don't have any 80000cfm l337 fans, either. :p

As for brand loyalty....it shouldn't exist with PC hardware. After all, IBM used to make ...

It needs a good ole can of Klyron spraypaint and you'll be finished.

Actually....the fans take a drop in RPM whenever the processor is cranking.

What other explanations should I look at for the low scores? I have the latest bios and drivers for all my stuff as far as I can tell.

I just bought a "Gigabyte GA-7VRXP VIA KT333 5P1A3D RAID LAN V.2.0 RETAIL" for $103 from newegg.com. It has robust features (lan, audio, udma 133, raid, usb2.0, 7 usb ports) for a cheap price. No probs so far. It had mixed reviews, though and anything less than rev 2.0 is trouble.

I recently built a new system and I'm wondering if my power suppy just isn't up to par. At first, the system had trouble posting if I had all my fans plugged in. Whenever I do anything processor-intensive (such as benchmarking) there is an audible decrease in my fan RPM. Also, my 3dmark scores are ...

Wouldn't you know it? AFter I make an arse of myself by defending IBM drives......

Make sure your NIC is set to half duplex. I've seen them run much more slowly when forced to full duplex.....go figure.

Here's a suggestion for Hollywood:

Instead of charging rediculous prices for hard copies, why not embrace the digital/tech world? All these greedy, bass-ackwards media companies need to realize that they can eliminate much of the costs of marketing and packaging by offering digital media at ...

As a customer, you need to understand that if an on-site trouble call must be scheduled, then the problem probably ...

If you have the balls to uncap, at least have the brains to do it with an unregistered modem so that you don't get that phone call.

I bought the Gainward GF3 with 128mb DDR. I get mid to high 5000's in 3dmark 2k1 (1Ghz Athlon, 512mb pc133, A7V). In the games I'm playing (Operation Flashpoint, Unreal Tournament etc) it doesn't really seem much better than my Voodoo 5 5500 was. It's definitley less stable than the Voodoo, even ...

How about you just buy one of those dorm fridges and build your computer in it? $50 used. Mount your drives and PS on the outside of it. If you're lucky, there will still be enough room for a six pack....which is justified cause a cold 6er will act as a buffer to help compensate for temp ...

Not to beat a dead horse, but maybe IBM's production control has gone out of spec or something. I bought my 30GB 75GXPs in mid-2000 and they have been running RAID0 in ...

Yes...SOME do try to do it right. But in this case, I still think my blanket statement applies to the majority of apartment owners.

Ok...this is off-topic, but let me just say that Brits and Germans have to be some of the most skilled, exacting mechanics / machinists in the world.

Excellent craftsmanship. Good show!

I know it may be too little too late, but if you email your CM's mac address to cable_dood at lycos.com, then I will look at your modem on the router and tell you fo sho what your problem is. I can also assist in getting someone competent sent out.

37 is a phenomenal DS SNR. Most Surfboards report 39-40 when attached directly to the front of the uBR. Anything below 30 is getting pretty noisy. Anything below 20 and you're going to start missing packets on the DS QAM.

Some Surfboards use http://192.168.100.11 instead of http://192.168.100.1

I thought that you would get a lot of retransmission if your RWIN is that big. Also, I was under the impression that the maximum RWIN value recognized in win2k was 65535?

Node size is based more on home-passed than geography. Some nodes cover miles and miles....some a few blocks.

Ultimately, your performance will depend on the company's business practices.<<

I'm sorry, but this just IS NOT true. Node combining affects performance. These are a few reasons that you won't see your set speed in a cable modem ...

ooooohhhh ooooohhhh....If you've got about 25 more of those 1.2gbs then you'll be getting close.

No really...I'm an easy guy to work with. I'll entertain any offers....computer related or not.

I could put it on eBay and sell it for like $75-95, but trading is more fun.

LOL...I just posted about NVmax totally farking up my computer too. It won't fricken uninstall....if you OC too far, then you're screwed.

Want to trade Voodoo 5 5500 for a backup hard drive. Speed not a big concern, going for capacity. LMK.

BTW....If you want to trade for something else, I'll consider anything.
