speed test
in Chat
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

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

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
-
will clear tampering with her wedding photos tonight
will let you know what happens

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

200$

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

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

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?

I like the idea of unattended install- will have to figure it out as I know another install is always down the road

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?????

while hdd (160 gig) was in old machine, I installed partition magic. Set it up for dual boot.
Now its in new machine, installed xp pro, couldn't find the whoe disk. attempted install of partition magic again so I could retrive data or whatever. error 109 partition bigger then hdd see 107, 107 may have been formatted in another machine.
guess i need to know how to do a format and restore 160 gig disk
xp install just seems to want to clear displayed 100 gig

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?
