    Networking - seeking solutions

    Yes. It used to work in the way I described it. About crossover cable, I don't think that ther is another way of connecting two computer through their lan adapters if not using a hub or a router.

    New Chipset Heatsink?

    I have replaced the noisy chipset cooler on my Msi K8N Diamond too. It is a first step as it is a passive one from zalman and the temps are about the same, maybe a degree or two higher. The problem is not for now but later if I intend to use Sli it is impossible with this one as it is too high...

    Amazing guy!!

    Yeap, I've known his work for a year or two and tried to find out more. Actually he is drawing some Escher-like misteries. If you look at all pictures there is one photographed from a wrong angle and it looks like nothing normal. All in all he is really something

    AMD vs. Intel

    There is a thing about performance. It comes with a price. And given the today's cpu's characteristicks amd is slightly better on price/ performance ratios. Not to forget what heat monsters are Intel's ones given the frequencies they work on, and finally it will save some money on your...

    Cebit 2006 Preview

    We should wait for the platform to mature before buying one, we have all the past examples before our eyes. I gues socket 939 cpu's will slowly vanish, just like socket A cpu's...

    Anybody going Dual Core?

    I have to agree. Couldn't work in Aotocad while rendering in Max with the old computer and now if you get any problems you can separate processes to run each on a core. Whoa! this I like a lot!

    Yahoo messenger

    There is a problem I'm having with this one... It does not refresh the contact list so I never know when people are online or offline. Only shutting down the programe and restarting it does the job. It's possible to be a setting on my nic but I could not get it right. The mobo is a Msi K8N...

    XP install problem! Please Help!

    You have to load those drivers only if you use the respective controllers. Otherwise you can install drivers for them after install. And I do not recomend leaving the yellow mark there, it is quite easy to identify the correct drivers. See your mobo manufacturer and modell and go to their...

    what free virus scanner do you use?

    I use McAfee and am very pleased with the antivirus, but the firewall is less effective than Zone Alarm per instance and has less options. Norton Antivirus is well known to have flaws and does not give the right protection too, slow in response.... used it, dumped it.

    Proposed hardware with an eye to OC - What do you think?

    The reason that DFI is such a great oc-er is that the chief engineer (cannot remember the name now, sorry) moved from Abit to Dfi. And by the way Abit boards are not that oc-friendly any more, better Asus than Abit. Even more you can rather choose a Msi than Abit. Take into account for sure a...

    Anybody going Dual Core?

    I joined the X2 club this year with the 3800+ and have to say that is a real joy to work in Autocad, 3D Max, Adobe and Corel about the same time. I have to get more memory but the budget is tight now so... Do not swear me, I am an architect and we, architects tend to get a little artistick =...
