    speed test

    wasn't a terrible boot, but not faster then old computer, still had time to get to fridge, open beer and return yellow ! marks how about yellow ? marks other devices other pci bridge device pci mem controller sm bus controller - - what other pci devices???? only installed evga 7600gt all other pci slots still empty (quick question, how many games you got that need 2 video cards, to keep up with graphics?) drivers for mobo, not yet, and forgot to check rev while I was out there didn't even check for newer rev on asus disk intel chipset? will have to check that asus m2n e sli wmp would not play dvd- no dvd decoder installed installed powerdvd 4.0 (it was here) power dvd doesn't work but wmp does now

    speed test

    Well now that the new comp is up and mostly loaded does a dual core actually run faster then a single at the same speed, or is that a function of the program written to take advantage of it?? let me think udma 133, fsb 1000, vs sata 2.0--- well I see an improvement there mathmetically, but is the sata gonna slow down because of the bus speed.??? I rely on my friends knowledge to break this down to simple english for me, not to much techno speak please Not real impressed with boot speed, considering new xp pro isn't loaded with sys manufacturer addons, seems slower then old sony. Have only installed drivers for video card, haven't even had a chance to do a dvd yet. Somebody point me towards a speedtest prog, will test the thing with ide hdd, and after sata hdd is installed soon Will try both ways with dvds also Hmmm- better take a dvd to it- and see if it likes them keep forgeting to get a small chessboard blue, not spending much time in toy department lately
  3. was thinking adobe photo 5.0 "inkstamp" could also b&w, contrast, brightness, (some shading left) forget what they call it, but easier to remove subject from from and erase background then in the past
  4. isobuster displayed directory of files assume run and extract is correct command but it won't till you pay hrrump! could be a good choice for the disk with the peeled tinfoil though(when we find it again) we have located another sony cd camera, will not be trying close on imgburn didn't even try to open with imgburn, went straight back into camera
  5. will clear tampering with her wedding photos tonight will let you know what happens
  6. Well I've never had any trouble using imgburn, default settings, on dvd's but I thought I'd ask before I screw up the girlfriends cd sony cd camera turned itself of last night, and won't turn on anymore disk is always unreadable in computer till camera finalizes it I'm not sure what finalize even covers but do you think we can do something with imgburn? or start searching for another sony cd camera to finalize for us???? thanks guys
  7. 200$ no I'm too cheap think it was $55- split it with a guy at work who has since been fired and took the original think it came from germany, but was english language
  8. zip a dee do daa is on the song of th south dvd had no problems getting a copy last year allthough I didn't enjoy the movie as much as I remembered from my youth
  9. I'm certain you can google dvd2avi and get something(free, shareware) then its off to a video editor to add sound now that I think of it, I believe pinnacle studio11 will import a dvd file, off the dvd, but you'll need to go to their site for help with that, I've never done it

    format hdd

    speaking of questions and new info apparently you can get a pci ide card, to replace malfuntioning mobo ide, that source of info wanted to turn off mobo ide, but as yet has failed to suggest how now that I've replaced the computer, is this a viable solution, put the old unit back together and get the granddaughters educational software (K and 2nd grade) wasn't shamus having ide problems about a month ago?

    format hdd

    will also have to spend more time at nlite site I like the idea of unattended install- will have to figure it out as I know another install is always down the road

    format hdd

    sorry chewy, so far only diplays and plays with displayed partitions, I can live without the other 60 gig. Could be a good excuse for a sata drive. Will be a good reason to avoid symantec products in the future. They won't answer (they do repond) if your registration is not on their files, and all my old symantic stuff won't run within so many days if you don't go online. Only thing I want to get running again is their defragmentor, have enver been able to defrag with ms version, keeps restarting off to symantec to try somemore

    nothing inactive at disc managment sp2 won't install, something about the the activation code that worked when I installed sp1---grrrrr guess I shouldn't have tried useing stuff from sony ordered xp oem sp2 from newegg only $139- a bargain at 1/2 that price What about fdisk- that still hiding around somewhere? didn't that remove all partitions, inactive or not?????

  25. An episode of Dr Who just ended and I got caught watching it, by a couple women who thinks its stupid. I find it hard to follow when I only catch 2 or 3 episodes a year. But we all were wondering how long he's been on. I certainly , at least I think it was an older fella , when I used to watch regularly, but I also remember being a childless man. So that would be 29 years ago Just how long have we been watching reruns here in the states?
