Well I got my newer computer and it has a 20 gig Quantum Fireball kt15 hard drive and found nothing on Google or Yahoo search engines. I want to know the specs on it.
-
Well I finally got a newer computer,used but much better then what I had,although I so hate Compaq computers cause there is no jumpers at all on the mobo to overclock the biatch. But I'm happy with it.
Talked the guy down from $180 to $125... that's Canadian money.

I finally found a great glass version for Style XP,comes with thin and normal toolbar sizes.
Just go here http://www.winmodify.net/files.php?section=Visualstyles&page=6and make an account,then download XPGlass Ver 2.10,no spyware or trojans or viruses..
What it looks like

anyone ever try it?
Is that for Linux?,if so I can't use it.

ArcticWolf ;I think you have the lowest one so far that is actually currently online.
The VIC20 is the least but it's not online.Like I posted there is supposed to be a club that uses the Commodore 64& the VIC20 is a Commodore just a couple of years older .But they have to use only text & communicate in BASIC.
It would be interesting to see the smallest one that could use the internet.Maybe one that could do the testmy DL&UL test.
Well here is my download test
:::.. Download Stats ..:::
Connection is:: 2502 Kbps about 2.5 Mbps (tested with 12160 kB)
Download Speed is:: 305 kB/s

Test Time:: 2006/03/28 - 12:36am
Bottom Line:: 45X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 3.36 sec
Tested from a 12160 kB file and took 39.817 seconds to complete

But for some reason,my upload is coming up to 50kb/s,when it usually is 72 to 75kb/s

That will depend on what you actually store on the compressed drive. Files that are already compressed cannot be compressed any further and therefore compressing the drive will offer no benefits. Now this drive is not exactly what you would call large, in fact, it's almost not worth the effort doing anything with that drive considering that you can many times that capacity for next to nothing (not to mention much better performace).
Oh never mind....I didnt read your post all the way to the end.....
That's no problem Cableguy,but you're right, I can get a 30gig hard drive for $50 ...but the peformance would be the same is what I have now, cause the mobo only runs at ATA33... which this drive is already running at ATA33 5400rpms

Now that sounds like a job! So did he win?
,maybe I'm not sure,I'd have to dig through my closet I know I have a Toshiba laptop in there that was a 286.... thing weighed a ton... I don't remember what else was inside it as memory and such, it had Windows 3.11 though. -
I got a question,in Win XP if you right click on your hard drive, you have 2 options....1 is the fast indexing, the other is hard drive compression..... with a 3gig hard drive,how much would I gain in space, and does it slow down the hard drive read/write 's ???
Edit:
NVM, I found my answers,should of Googled it first b4 asking,so plz delete post.
Thanks.

ouch.. lol
Damn artic... how the F#@& did you get XP on that machine, haha... poor guy, 4mb video!
Yeah I know ,takes 5 min to load XP .... but unlike Win98se when I would get the dreaded "Out of Memory" screen and had to reboot every 6 hrs... I can run XP for 6 days without any problems, so it may take longer to load, but I can run much longer on it.... much better memory mangement in XP.

Once in awhile I like to go back to the good old days and dust off the keyboard and play on the Commodore vic 20, with the good ol tape drive.

I'm not absolutely certain, but I don't think you can legally use any DNS servers you want to. That is something I would contact your ISP about.
Yeah I'll have to ring em up tomorrow, since it's not 24/7 tech support.
-
Did you just recently upgrade from 98 to XP, or was this a while ago? Are you using the same ISP and hardware? Are you living at the same place, connecting the same way as before? I'm failing to see how this is a DNS issue at this point...throw me a bone.
Same place yes, but same isp no .. it is a different isp ..... but I got to say those are bad ping times, just to the first hop is 59ms .... my other isp and dns I used was much quicker.... the first hop to piero.pppoe.ca, is what is slow .... is there a way to change the first hop to another place? Still haven't been able to find a DNS server in Montreal,Canada... it would be sweet though.... I was told usually colleges and schools are given there own dns. But I believe it may be rumor.
-
Back in the day when I was using Win98se, I had a dns that gave me ping times of 14ms ... now I try it on Win XP sp2 and can't get under 90ms. And my first hop always goes to the same place even if I change DNS, so I'm thinking maybe I'm not doing it right, can anyone help me out? at this time I think I'm using dns servers 4.2.2.5 and 4.2.2.6 , here is my result for ping and tracert. My ISP is teksavvy, a 3/800 package.

Since you have pc100 you might be able to go 100fsb X3 multiplier you would still be at 300MHz but much better fsb, it really shouldn't make a difference that I know of, what the settings were when you loaded windows.
You could just try different fsb and multiplier setting until it seems to boot good and doesn't crash 83 fsb X3 or 3.5 and so on, just watch the temp of the CPU
I'll give it a try... but it's not possible for me to go to 100fsb, due to the fact that the only jumper settings are 66,75 and 83.
Thanks

Ok ~ ArcticWolf ~ first, what are the errors your getting?
. . .and do you have newest or most updated bios version for your ASUS installed?
Are you dual booting, also?
I don't remember the errors,I never wrote them down... but basically saying if you installed new hardware,please remove it, system cannot load.... as for the Bios it's the newest one, and no it's not a dual boot.
I figured that it might be because the data was written at the 75 * 4.5 originally, and if I set it to 83 * 4 , that the memory is going to fast for the data written on the disk... and my memory is pc100's inside.

Ok I have an old computer using an ASUS mobo, the usual speed is P2 300mhz, I overclocked it to 337 with fsb at 75 * 4.5 cpu ....and formated my hard drive and installed Win XP and have no problems.... now when I changed my settings to 83fsb * 4 cpu =332 ... which we all know will work better cause the faster the memory the better it is. Well I put it to those settings the system works fine and doesn't lock up.... but when my win xp loads, I get errors. my question is that if I reformated my hard drive at the 83* 4 cpu settings would it resolve the problem or is the fsb running to fast for the IDE port to the hard drive?
-
Sweet I am done. I now call this thread "Pimp My XP" lol! Thanks
,maybe I'm not sure,I'd have to dig through my closet I know I have a Toshiba laptop in there that was a 286.... thing weighed a ton... I don't remember what else was inside it as memory and such, it had Windows 3.11 though.

Can't find my hard drive at Google,can anyone help?
