    GOT GAS?

    Here in Hawaii average is about $2.40, but I shop on Post aka Military base, and get it for closer to $2.00 Hawaii is just about to pass a gas price capping law. Not sure what will happen. Problem with Gas prices here in the states is the US is so friggen big. We drive long distances. Most of our states are bigger then Countries in Europe I drove 8 Hours just to get out of Texas once. And that was a shortcut. Probably a good idea to start considering Hydrogen, or Electric Cars. Oil isn't going to get any cheaper. And with OPEC controlled by Arabs, that don't like the West too much, don't expect production to go up to lessen demand and prices. Gotta have money for terrorism I guess (cheap shot)

    ACPI Crashing my system

    Bro since your using this a Media Center then I may have a fix for you. GO into device Manager Click on the computer tab at the top Should say something like ACPI Uniprocessor Right click on that and select update driver Pick the option to choose install from list or specific location ON the next screen choose don't search i will choose driver to install Then Pick Standard PC at the bottom and click next. This will disable ACPI for the most part, but you don't really need it

    Intel Centrino vs other mobile?

    Since they use the desktop chip I may be inclined to buy the lesser model and upgrade later.

    NORTON SW equivalence for WIN2K3?

    MS assumes that anyone using 2k3 Server knows, or should now how to do those things without the use of software Like Norton Although they do offer enterprise AV solutions

    Network drives

    The program needs to see the network drive as local, and using the Domain Credentials instead of the local login? If that is correct, are you logging onto the Domain? or locally?
  9. http://home.hawaii.rr.com/sapiens74/ At the bottom I took a screenshot Of my running Services You shouldnt have Snagit, or ATI drivers running on yours, so everything else would be normal Make sure if yOU have any Symantec product, Like Norton AV not set to autoprotect. Also Kazaa is a real dog. I disable most services like Server and Netbios stuff if you don't use them. Also use MSCONFIG to see if you have anything starting up . I would suggest with that killer rig, to invest in an Audigy1 or 2, cause onboard sound tends to use more CPU time Make sure you have latest INtel Chipset SOftware Installed including the Application ACCEL. Hope that helps

    CHeck out my New Ride!

    I have a toyota now, and I love it, Great service , but they didn't have anything comparible in this class, It was between the Rav4 and the 4Runner, and I didn't like either, plus the 4runner was 3k more then the Sport Trac. Prol trade my other car in for a Camry though, for the wife. Great cars. Anyways. Was messing around looking for stuff and found I have those lumbar support air things, and heated leather seats too. Hawaii already hot though lol. Well if you live in Hawaii McKenna Ford is a great place to buy a car. They were in the office till 11pm getting my Sport Trac ready. I paid a little more than I should have for it, but its the exact one I wanted.

    CHeck out my New Ride!

    Thanks Cool thing is the stereo, I used to really be into competition systems and such, but I didn't want to gut my new gut to put in a good system. So this one comes with a Pioneer 485w system with subwoofer. Pioneer IMO makes the best small subwoofers. Nice tight punch for the size.

    Can I Connect 2 Routers to One DSL Modem?

    Quote: Yes.......... routers are just "smarter switches"......... just please make sure the wireless part is secure ( disable SSID , use WEP or WPA , MAC filtering etc..... ) Just remember that college campus is ripe with idiots trying to "exploit" something. I agree use every possible security lockdown you can on wireless. Also update the firmware for the routers. Also in addition to MAC filtering if you are using DHCP limit the number of leases to actual number of installed computers, so no one can pick up a free ride on thier network

    Intel Centrino vs other mobile?

    Quote: Or, you could get an Alienware - they can put a regular P4, 3.2 Ghz in a laptop. It'll cost you and it's probably hard on the battery, but if you want a desktop replacement look no further. AND, they offer a DVD-RW/CD-RW combo drive. :x I was looking at those COmes with a 128mB video card too. THats insane. Too many beans for me though.

    upgrading computer without formatting

    It can be done as you have shown , but I went from a Via chipset to an Intel and it had issues. Although going from Via to Via, or Intel to Intel is easier. Grats though, Saved you some time DId you have to activate windows again? I had to

    Intel Centrino vs other mobile?

    It depends on what you need. Centrino's are great for battery life, and are still really fast. BUt If you want a Desktop replacement, like myself, you may go for the cheaper desktop version of the P4, that they also use in laptops Although going that route is hell on batteries.

    Microsoft pissed about unfair competition

    Quote: Quote: IT was kind of like South Korea subsidizing Hynix If Sony and the other companies want to pool to make an OS then fine, Having the government do it is wrong I don't see where there is anything wrong with this. I didn't understand it as saying that the government would force this OS on the citizens. If these governments are tired of depending on Microsoft for the security of their systems, why not create their own OS where they would be responsible for the security and not have to wait for microsoft to release patches. The problem is you are asking MS to comptete not only with Sony, And Hyndai and other huge Asian Corporations, but also money from those governments Bro MS warns months ahead with patches and fixes. I had my systems patched no less then 1 months before the last worm hit Try administering 100 Linux boxes when a security flaw is found. www.cert.org

    What MiniDV Digital Camera to buy?

    http://www.tomshardware.com/video/20030728/index.html I couldn't find a review on the one you listed but the comparisons here are just the higher end models Most models in the series have the same features, maybe a little less high end then the ones Tom reviews.

    What MiniDV Digital Camera to buy?

    I have the Sony TRV25 and it works great. Takes 1 MP Pictues and the movies look fantastic. Not sure about price though. I got mine for 675 about 6 months ago.

    RIS services

    Quote: You need to have a DHCP server running on your network and the network cards on the RIS clients need to be PXE compatible (I think). I think you only need AD running if you want to join to Domain during install, I have a slipstresmed install with 2003 that joins the domain and adds the computer account to the AD.
