[00:24]<yajq>building new machine, cpu i am looking at has 1000Mhz FSB, should i get ram (DDR2) rated at 1000? i did know how to work this out, but forget
[00:26]<2zyac>that sounds right to me, RAM should be on the FSB
[00:26]<svjggggwv>ico2: RAM speed has nothing to do with FSB...
[00:26]<2zyac>though sometimes there are multipliers involved, the figures are definitely related
[00:26]<2zyac>what Stonenewt? how not?
[00:27]<svjggggwv>brick: A64 & Intel systems have seperated any syncronisity between FB and rambus
[00:27]<yajq>yaaay, i started mini flame-war
[00:27]<svjggggwv>AMD & intel*
[00:27]<yajq>Stonenewt: so what speed ram should i get?
[00:27]<2zyac>Stonenewt, ahh, i thought it was just A64 and i haven't got there yet. thanks
[00:27]<svjggggwv>ico2: what botherboard
[00:28]<yajq>Stonenewt: havent decided yet, gimme 2 mins
[00:28]<svjggggwv>since the P4 Intel chipsets haven't needed any syncronisty
[00:28]<yajq>:)
[00:28]<svjggggwv>syncronisity was only there to maximse the memory I/O
[00:30]<svjggggwv>AM2?
[00:30]<yajq>yeah
[00:31]<yajq>http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=44RR&CategorySelectedId=11143&PageMode=1&NavigationKey=11143,369030000,4294959071,42180000,4294956091&v=2#infoarea
[00:31]<svjggggwv>Athlon64 or X2?
[00:33]<yajq>dual core something, ideally 64bit, looking at the MD Athlon 64 X2 5000 Socket AM2 2.6GHz 1MB 1000FSB
[00:33]<svjggggwv>DDR2-800 then (PC2-6400)
[00:33]<yajq>thanks
[00:34]<svjggggwv>on AMD you don't have a FSB btw you have a HT bus and a memory bus
[00:34]<yajq>what if i went for the AMD Athlon FX-62 Socket AM2 2.8GHz 2MB Cache 1000FSB or AMD Athlon 64 FX60 Socket 939 2.6GHz 2MB FSB1000
[00:34]<yajq>same ram for them ideal?
[00:35]<svjggggwv>All dual core A64s you want PC2-6400
[00:36]<yajq>ok, thanks Stonenewt :) :)
[02:48]<dnpjzdrvyvn-yy>Anyone know how to get a battery meater working on linux for i8k laptops?
[04:07]<2ggrrmygmggs>what would it take to use one of these ( http://search.ebay.com/serial-usb_W0QQfrppZ50QQfsopZ1QQmaxrecordsreturnedZ300 ) to add USB support to a computer that only has serial ports?
[04:15]<sdrw>hi hang
[04:16]<sdrw>are there any bios settings when installing an nVidia GeForce 7600 GS
[04:16]<sdrw>or is it plug and play
[04:17]<2ggrrmygmggs>PCI cards are plug and play
[04:17]<sdrw>AGP
[04:17]<azyfffn->i have a dsl modem/router connected to a switch together with 3 computers. this works fine. now I'm getting a new MB with 2 LAN ports and wi-fi. will I be able to use that wi-fi to let my notebook go online as well as access main lan?
[04:17]<2ggrrmygmggs>might need to enable AGP in the BIOS
[04:18]<szzzz_>cripple- it depends on how you have your lan setup
[04:20]<azyfffn->how do I set it up so that notebook can access main lan
[04:20]<szzzz_>I had a similar setup, but I couldn't get it to work. I ended up with a wireless router
[04:20]<2ggrrmygmggs>run *nix on the notebook
[04:21]<2ggrrmygmggs>er, not the notebook the new desktop
[04:43]<mzg2gxgzggjw>hi i need some help could somebody help me please...
[04:43]<quzszzzyaxvnz>state problem
[04:44]<mzg2gxgzggjw>great..
[04:44]<mzg2gxgzggjw>ok here goes..
[04:44]<2ggrrmygmggs>please state the nature of your hardware emergency
[04:44]<mzg2gxgzggjw>something to do with usb i think..
[04:44]<quzszzzyaxvnz>waitng and waiting..
[04:45]<mzg2gxgzggjw>i have problems openening the COM3 port on my computer?
[04:45]<mzg2gxgzggjw>not too sure why
[04:45]<mzg2gxgzggjw>my hardware is an lg usb modem (kg800 modem that activates with phone when switched on).
[04:46]<mzg2gxgzggjw>it works for a while but sometimes i get port could not be opened
[04:47]<mzg2gxgzggjw>no help?
[04:48]<2ggrrmygmggs>reinstall the driver?
[04:50]<mzg2gxgzggjw>tried that many times
[04:50]<mzg2gxgzggjw>the port in question (com3) works sometimes, after a while i try to reconnect and get.. "other applications used this port, failed to open 3 port"
[04:51]<2ggrrmygmggs>irq conflict? disable unused ports in the BIOS
[04:51]<mzg2gxgzggjw>i think the problem must lie in the usb hub.. not too sure? i dont use a printer or any other com port, well not that i know of
[04:51]<mzg2gxgzggjw>iv disabled com port 1
[04:52]<mzg2gxgzggjw>is there a program you know of that could find the problem related that collects a report
[04:53]<2ggrrmygmggs>you can check the device manager but it's pretty worthless
[04:53]<mzg2gxgzggjw>yeh i checked it..
[04:53]<mzg2gxgzggjw>do you know of a program perhaps to open up COM ports?
[04:53]<mzg2gxgzggjw>ive been searchin all day with no luck
[04:54]<sdrw>hiya
[04:55]<mzg2gxgzggjw>hi..
[04:55]<sdrw>my mother board's agp slot is 8x 128 mb. is it ok to insert a video card of 8x 512 mb? will the vidcard adjust to 128 mb ?
[04:57]<2ggrrmygmggs>I don't think agp slots are rated by memory size
[04:57]<sdrw>i just inserted an nvidia video card, and im not seeing results in the monitor. not even boot stuff, bios settings.
[04:58]<2ggrrmygmggs>did you set the bios to boot off of AGP video cards?
[04:59]<sdrw>yes, otherwise the prior ati radeon card would not have worked in the first place
[04:59]<2ree>anyone know anything about (or know where to ask about) the wiring layout of motorola's wired usb headsets?
[05:00]<2ggrrmygmggs>smax, are you sure it's booting? is your power supply up to it?
[05:01]<sdrw>i even unplugged my cdrom drives
[05:01]<sdrw>the sys requirments for the card is a 300W power supply
[05:01]<sdrw>mine says DC output 400 W MAX
[05:03]<sdrw>when i turn on the pc, let it sit, the monitor my flicker some scrambled colors for a fewsecs
[05:03]<sdrw>hmmm
[05:04]<2ggrrmygmggs>does the hd power up? does the kb light come on?
[05:07]<sdrw>im going to take out the card, reset the cmos, boot with the integrated cards, disable integrated card and enable agp
[05:14]<cypppypp>hi..
[05:15]<cypppypp>is it possible to plug a pci-E 8x card into a pci-E 16x slot?
[05:16]<sdrw>is wake on lan built into the nic card? or a bios feature.
[05:16]<2ggrrmygmggs>both
[05:18]<azyfffn->fuck fuck fuck a duck, SCREW a kangaroo
[05:19]<azyfffn->screw is such a good word, so much better than fuck, don't you agree?
[05:19]<azyfffn->it's like cunt vs pussy, smelly cheezy cunt, it describes it so much better
[05:29]<azyfffn->fucking fuckers, fucknuts, shitface cunt-whore dipshit bitchezzzzzz
[05:29]<azyfffn->I will eat your children
[05:31]<azyfffn->idling geeks, I piss on you and your channel
[05:31]<azyfffn->I make you drink my piss
[05:37]<cysdnv_>okay, so a single IDE cable on a typical motherboard has a single controller, right? so if you put 2 drives on it, and they need to exchange information, the mobo's controller chip must relay data from one drive to the other, and is this a duplexed bus? or can only one side transmit at a time?
[05:38]<2ggrrmygmggs>ugh
[05:38]<cysdnv_>apologies for an ugly question
