Blabbermouth!
HOME: A physical construct for keeping rain off your computers.
I see Darkness Productions Is trying real hard to steel my Blabbermouth seat
Only 66 more posts and I HIT 3,000
We decided to ban you for a decade until I reach you, so post here your last words...
Bring it!!

I have some time to help.....
I need a new laptop,but who needs a laptop when you have a phone...
Now to remember my old computer specs..
I don't know which is worse.....
the thought of this blabbermouth contest or measuring the amount of bandwidth and resources you utilize.....
SHeesh!!! A guy can't get any rest around here!!
PS: How does one 'fix' an AGP socket... yes, AGP..... i have nice little short stripped lines on one pc's display, in a PERFECT bit addressing pattern problem.... How about you 'blabb..... err 'discuss' that one???

It's my desktop unit.
Granted the ATI 9800 XT (256 MB) , AGP 1,4,8 is nice to have, but it's the darn socket and quite possibly a cooked graphics address decoder chip, but i really do suspect the socket as everything else is fine.. so... WHERE am i going to find a new '2 region / 1 divider' AGP socket??? I have a funny feeling I am going to have to give up my P4-B (which has, until now, been absolutely indestructable) and the P4 itself is just fine... just the Mobo/Graphics card interface is mucked up..... All of this because the 'locking tab' finally gave away due to heat stress. There is no end-cap locking collar on the board's socket.... look up the Intel 845PEBT2 motherboard and you will understand.
What is wild about this 'addressing' issue is that with it like it is, the machine is FAST as hell! Regardless of whether I select 32,64,128 or 256MB AGP size in BIOS, my trusted 'blue' Intel screen has perfect orange rectangles on it during boot... But, text mode is perfect (640x480 console), and 32 bit mode color is nearly perfect (can only catch a flaw every now & then).
I am searching for my trusty STB 128 MB PCI graphics card to use as a sub until I get through this major hardware effort with the other boxen. This machine is the one I use for general internet, mirc, Free-DC, and, MOST IMPORTANTLY, email and cross-processor verification of my algorithms.
I know when all is done, it's going to be time to 'retire' this little babe, but i still want it in working order... it all happened today without warning. The question is: Given I need an 'Intel or two'..... which are the fastest multi-core Intels that I can get? The Xeons? which? I am unfortunately not Intel literate.
If I had my preference, this is where I would just opt in for a Tezro 350 and an Onyx 350 (or current models) and be done with it. That would be 8 cpus, cray-linked together that would clean everyone's clock.
If you arent' sure what that is... check the product line from SGI and look at the Onyx 350. The standard config was quad-cpu... not quad-core... actual true, SMP, quad-cpu in a 'surface mount' plug-in package (SM-bus style) that allowed up to 8 cpus at the time. Now, if I were into graphics, which I've little need of this degree, here's a look at my work machines (The Onyx 3000) http://www.sgi.com/pdfs/3468.pdf some of which have the 'Reality' engine but most do not. I think all I would need is a standard 2U size 32 cpu, Onyx 350 machine less the high-end graphics (which is where the real $$$ go).
My question is this: Given it's Irix (aka Linux), and native 64 bit, can it be used here on FDC? I love my AMD's, but I also miss my Onyx/Tezro pair (The Tezro was the graphic-less Onyx expansion box which cray-linked into the back of the Onyx).
Oh, now, a real practical question.... immediately to the left of my mouse cursor is a THICK BLACK LINE... (which is the 'cursor' when I am in a text window).... it changes back to the regulation / standard 'Microsoft arrow' when in a graphical area. HOW THE HECK DO I FIX THAT????? I've never seen it before!!!!
AND, what mode do I run in????? Text mode? reduced size mem map in BIOS, reduced color??? no clue here... first time I have EVER seen this kind of failure.... the only other failure of graphics cards I have seen are true 'bit failures' within the graphics dram and/or the D->A raster output module.
With thanks

Please see attached image... I think it's viewable.
It's a bit 'smugged' as moving it around makes it worse due to the hardware acceleration.

I have seen something like that and it turned out to be a bad Vid cable leading to my KVM
Will a new vid card work in it if so send the old back to have work done on it

Interesting...
the KVM DID lock-up for a bit...until the power was removed... but is now ok.... so perhaps switch to the DVI output and use that side to feed the KVM instead of the analog side ?

On a personal note I'm getting pretty close to 5000 posts
I would say it would be Bok and IB for that award But thats another story we might get to Later
And here I was worried about DP Keeping up
Well I hope I have brought some glimmer of entertainment to your time here at Free-DC over the past year
Now Lets Go Kick Some Teams Butt
Boy it is hard to keep up Darkness Productions I guess he will he the 2009 Blabbermouth.
Keep it up
Well it is only 1 month till we crown the new Free-DC Blabbermouth for 2009
I think DP is going to take the Blabbermouth crown this year. He his A$$ off all year long
Whatever is happening here, I want to be a part of it..
So there!
Colin Thompson
Bok did you lose your Post counting script
I did as it happens..
Looking around though, there is a mod to show top posters overall/this month. I'll see about installing it..
ok, if you go to the 'Quick Links' you'll see a 'Top Posters' link...
