[00:15]<zz2zz>will the intel core 2 duo fit into the same socket as current intel core duos?
[00:16]<mld>okay back
[00:22]<zgmcjzn>ok is there anything wrong with having a mobo with dual channel memory support (4 slots) and using 1x 512mb pc2100 and 1x 512mb pc3200?
[00:22]<zgmcjzn>i know they won't run in dual channel but i don't think thats a big deal
[00:26]<2zyac>the only thing "wrong" with it is that your FSB will run at 266
[00:26]<zgmcjzn>no
[00:26]<zgmcjzn>this is a a64 system
[00:26]<zgmcjzn>no fsb its HT
[00:27]<2zyac>fine
[00:27]<2zyac>if it still has just one memory controller, you will get the lower speed
[01:39]<dzzczdu>hi
[01:57]<cjrgjulijw>quick question: can you access the internet from a cruise liner (in the middle of the ocean)?
[01:59]<lczudygs>hey, someone loves Latvia :)
[01:59]<lczudygs>ok.
[02:13]<cjrgjulijw>hey, it doesn't look like there are that many people in here today.
[02:17]<dzzczdu>CoRnJuLIOx: i guess it should be posibile do be online .. why not
[02:18]<cjrgjulijw>DarkRyu: on a cruise liner?
[02:19]<cjrgjulijw>i'm guessing some sort of sattelite connection is needed, but the services i've read about only work when the connecting PC is stationary
[02:19]<2zyac>CoRnJuLIOx, satellite internet for moving systems are totally feasible
[02:19]<2zyac>i would imagine that modern cruise ships have wi-fi
[02:27]<cjrgjulijw>dammn, access points in the middle of the ocean?
[02:58]<2zyac>all you need is an account, the satellite client, and a power source
[03:49]<svjzdsrrln>guess how leet I am
[03:51]<hjfgfgssggss>14
[04:08]<[wv]>is isopropyl alcohol good to clean electronics with ?

[04:12]<2fjjmxjugm>hmmm... i need to clean some residue of sticky tape on top of laptop
[04:13]<2fjjmxjugm>but that would not qualify as electronics...
[04:20]<[wv]>thats what i was talking about. my laptop

[04:25]<2fjjmxjugm>some are green or blue here
[04:25]<2fjjmxjugm>what i meant

[04:56]<grnvnzvrf>Can a 2.5" HDD be connected to a desktop computer via an IDE cable just as a 3.5" HDD would, or is an enclosure necessary?
[04:57]<jnzz>nceterval: you need an adapter
[04:57]<grnvnzvrf>Just a cable?
[04:57]<2zyac>search for "40-44"
[04:59]<jnzz>40 - 44 = -4
[05:00]<grnvnzvrf>If you were keeping cost in mind, do you think that's a better option than an enclosure?
[05:00]<jnzz>http://www.mp3car.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=23&products_id=190
