[H] Core 2 Duo boards with SLI
Are there any Core 2 Duo mobos available yet with SLI? The time has come to say bye-bye to this ol' P4 and move on up. I think Core 2 Duo E6700 with two 7900GTXs in SLI should last me another couple of years. I plan to upgrade the case, PS, board, CPU, RAM and video card and keep the rest of what I currently have: soundcard, HDs (may upgrade those, depends on $), CDRW, DVDR etc.
[H] 300GB on a CD-sized disk?
http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060804-7424.html How much greater data density? In the Hitachi Maxell device, a single disc about 1cm larger in diameter than a CD will buy you 300GB. By way of contrast, HD-DVD currently offers a maximum of 30GB on a 2-layer disc, and Blu-ray tops out at 50GB. Although upgrades are in the works that promise to increase the capacity of both of those formats, even the most pie-in-the-sky predictions fall short of what is planned for merely the first commercial generation of holographic storage. Future plans for that medium include boosting the capacity to 800GB in two years, and 1.6TB per disc by 2010. T
[H] Will at Linksys WSB24 work with 802.11g?
I have a linksys Wireless Signal Booster (WSB24) that I bought to use with my linkSys 802.11b router/wireless access point. I never took the WSB24 out of the box. Now, I'm getting ready to finally use my Linksys WRT54G (11.gb). Both of these work at 2.4 GHz, but the WSB24 was out before the WRT54G was, so it only claims to work with 802.11g devices, and I want to use it with my 802.11b device. I'd rather not by a range booster for the 11g device if I don't have to. Any thoughts? Would hooking the WSB24 to WRT54G cause any damage to the latter? I guess I could just try it all to find out, but if anyone has been around the block with this I'd appreciate hearing about it. Thanks.

Seems that it will work: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5587761~root=equip,16~mode=flat Anthony Q.

[H] Printer heads dry out update
Was in Comp-USA Saturday talking to an Epson rep. He said to spray a piece of photo paper with Windex and print a multi colored image to clean the heads. It sounds like it has potential. If anyone tries it, please let us know how it worked out. al (who's glad to have anything to offer this elite group)

[H] Du U have/use Media Player/Receiver?
Anyone on the list using a Media Player/Receiver? The D-Link 520 seems like the best bet but at $229 more than twice what I think it worth. The Hauppage MediaMVP is affordable but it appears that all movies would have to be converted to MPEG2 if the files were just to be played off of a Network Storage Device. It looks like this device relies on the host computer processing AVIs and/or Divx. So if you are using a Media Player for Video/Audio, let me know which model and how you like it and oh, yeah, its limitations. Thanks Bob
Re: [H] Du U have/use Media Player/Receiver?
Actually, I am looking for the same thing. I have a HTPC sitting downstairs but need some sort of stand-alone box upstairs that I can stream the xvids to. That would allow my wife to view her shows (mostly reality crap) upstairs and free up the big screen downstairs for more football :) On 8/7/06, RLS [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Anyone on the list using a Media Player/Receiver?

[H] OT - Cool web server mapping FF extension
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2993/ Very, very cool. Puts a small icon in the status bar that when clicked shows a google map of where the server of the current website is located. -- Brian

I also need something that can support VBR mp3's and read from NTFS partitions. On 8/7/06, Brian Weeden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Actually, I am looking for the same thing.
