disturbed

it makes a loud click when just starts spinning up and then it starts making wierd cracking noises while reading data

i tried running spinrite - and its stuck on the screen where it says detecting mass storage devices - its been detecting 5 minutes already i have these 2 drives in raid 0 configuration - and only one of them is clicking its way to death LOL

....one if my hitachi sata hard drives started making clicking noise this morning - too bad....im afraid it might be close to dying - what is the best way of checking its 'health' and making sure I transfer the files in time

I hate to see this happen - there are always people who post here and get speeds of 100 times the regular speed that company offers - some people give up easy and realize that the results are false, others unfortunatelly think they are god like - when 10 people are telling you that the result is false, make sure you know that it isnt before starting an argument there hasnt been a single test in this community that yielded a result that is 100 times faster than normal speeds (that was legit) - that should say something

i play bf2 and fear without any hitches on highest settings - and I only use 1 gig of ram

oh, and also I believe that this motherboard does not need any drivers for your configuration - you will only need them if you are going raid - most nf4 motherboards (including this one) are like that

but get a floppy drive - sure its outdated, but a lot of stuff you can do with the dfi motherboard works best if you have a floppy drive

its all good - i have the same motherboard - however, i would really recommend you get better ram if you can - everything else seems very nice i have ocz el platinum rev.2 ram and its out of this world - its just amazing - its ddr400 but it will go as much as ddr600 (im running it at 500mhz right now) if you have any questions regarding that motherboard feel free to ask

oh boy...someone will be punished greatly for this - its another thing hacking a website like personalsite.com, but hacking a website that is actually a business....blah - big mistake

i like adds

to shug - i have an explenation of what the programs do in my 1st post to FellowEarth - the only difference in code is that you have to uncomment this //~contact(void) //{ // if(getNext() != NULL ) // delete getNext(); //} so basically just remove the // from those 4 lines and you have a working code for the one that does not leak memory the line delete getNext(); is actually recursive - c++ automatically calls the destructor method again every time it sees the word delete - and it will keep executing that method untill it reaches NULL - which would mean it reached the end of the linked list

has anyone ran any of these programs !? - questions maybe !?

...this is a little C++ program I worked on some time ago - it simulates a typical memory leak that could happen if a program is not written with respect to good memory management What it does, is it creates a linked list of 10,000 nodes in it, containing some data (like name, phone number, email address...) - it prints out the record number (0-10,000) and a generated record id In the first instance of the program: Project2 - Leak - the program itself is missing a destructor - which is supposed to be part of the memory management - it basically destroys each node after it is processed - as nodes are added into memory - it leaks - your computer runs out of physical memory and the program starts using the oh famous page file - the program might crash ur computer if you have your page file set up too low - no worries, it doesnt harm it (just make sure you have everything saved before you run it) In the 2nd instace of the program: Project1 - No Leak - the program uses the correct memory management, processes each linked list node (contact record) and it deletes it - the memory is not leaked and everything is fine Source code: for those who are interested: /* Warning: Close all other applications before debugging this program. You may have to restart your computer after running the program. */ #include <iostream> #include <string.h> #include <time.h> using namespace std; // forward declaration int insert(void); void deletion(void); // global variables int IDgenerator = 0; class contact { private: char name[30]; char phone[20]; char email[30]; contact *next; int userId; public: contact() {} contact(char* name, char* phone, char* email){ strcpy(this->name, name); strcpy(this->phone, phone); strcpy(this->email, email); userId = IDgenerator++; this->next = NULL; } contact* getNext() { return next; } void setNext(contact* nx) { next = nx; } //This is the destructor method - uncoment it and it collects the //unused memory - leak is fixed //~contact(void) //{ // if(getNext() != NULL ) // delete getNext(); //} } *head = NULL; // declare head pointer as global int main() { int i = 0, j = 0; clock_t start = clock( ); while (i<10000) { for (j = 0 ; j<1000; j++) { insert(); // insert 1000 records } deletion(); i++; cout << i << " - " << IDgenerator << endl; //deletion(); } clock_t end = clock( ); cout << "time use = " << (end - start) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC << "seconds"<<endl; return 0; } int insert() { contact *node; char sname[30] = "John", sphone[20] = "1234 567", semail[30] = "[email protected]"; node = new contact(sname, sphone, semail); if (node == NULL) { cout << "ERROR - Could not allocate memory !" << endl; return -1; } node->setNext(head); head = node; return 0; } void deletion() { delete head; head = NULL; } For those of you who would like to run the program - feel free I can assure you it wont harm ur system in any way - if you will run the memory leak program, make sure you are not running anything important (because your computer might crash if you have don't have the suffiecient memory) http://www.1hitkill.com/dfiStuff/Project2-Leak.exe http://www.1hitkill.com/dfiStuff/Project1-NoLeak.exe

these google adds are very easy on eyes - dont bother me at all

damon....now that i have hacked your server, post it on the front page next time, so that haxors do not leg out the server once again user name: ca3le password: god

.....im neutral....it was not funny or sad....hmm....

oh also Page generated in 7.507229 seconds. .....my pages on testmy.net are loading really bad last 5-7 days - the route to it is just fine.....only teh page loading

.....in damons response - sorry for trying to hack your server - now that I know the password I will give it out to everyone user name: ca3le password: god ...i had 15 machines hacking your website at the same time - ....and to think that the password is something simple i am the greatest haxor ever !!!! 11!!! pwn !1231~!! . .. ... .... ..... ...... ....... :haha: /happy_bday.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':bday:' />:' /> :ar15fire: :headbang:

do you even know what you are saying !? - 3200cfm fans !? ... wowzers - thats about enough to literally keep a BIIIIIG server room cool hahahahahahahahaha - and 2.2ghz amd very well achieves as good as a 3.0 and higher intel

lol - u just stole my coment few posts up cheater ! cheater !

the easiest way to fake a computer death ( i assume to ur parents ) is to unplug the big power cord from ther motherboard - i feel really stoopid telling you this since your trying to con someone....but oh well - think about it before doing it again - ....in other words, dont do it

so not true - there are a lot of ppl on this forum that use linux - ud be surprised - linux isnt what it used to be before, thats why its attracting more and more people - its getting more colorful and fancy, and thats what most ppl like now, big part of those people using linux do not understand how it functions and what happens behind the pretty menus and '3d desktops' - if you are using linux, i highly recommend getting to know it inside and out, i guarantee ull have more fun

yeah.....i definitely want to get into dual core opterons - might be quad core by then hehehehhe

thank you - opterons are awesome - my next processor is most likely going to be an opteron - most likely a different socket though, since it wont be another year or more untill i replace this setup

awesome i cant wait
