[H] Gmail issue
Just in the last couple of days I noticed that when using Gmail in Firefox 3, the Rich Text buttons for message formatting don't show up in compose. I know they are there because if I mouse over I get the tooltips and I can still click on them to get the effects but it's really annoying. Anyone seen this before? --- Brian Weeden Technical Consultant Secure World Foundation http://www.secureworldfoundtion.org +1 (514) 466-2756 Canada +1 (202) 683-8534 US

[H] Asus m/b and CPU
Hi folks, I recently bought an Asus P5N32-E SLI mother board and have a dual core Intel 2.66Ghz 805 SL8ZH. Does anyone know if these two are compatible? The m/b handles a very wide range of processors, including dual core. I have no way to set it up yet as it is going to be a major upgrade to my ancient Athlon system and other stuff is enroute. Right now I really can't afford to upgrade that processor so this is why I am asking the question before I tear the old system apart. I have never been faced with this question building a new box. I bought this stuff off craigslist in reverse sequence, CPU first. You have to get them when they popup. Operation is not an issue here, they all work very well. I have been unable to Google a site that shows compatibility, so I figured some of my tech buddies may be able to help. Thanks, Jeff
Re: [H] need iPod help ?
You buy the player = they get you money! iTunes is just an additional insult. Can't say MM is or not a clone of iTunes, but not being iTunes is a great start. MM is a library program supports export using playlist methodolgy. Drag Drop is already available wih the Creative Explorer which I use in a pinch, Ben Ruset wrote: 1. What do you mean? How is it getting into my wallet if I can use my own ripped MP3's, or buy them from Amazon and have them show up in iTunes automatically? And what do you mean getting it's mits into my machine? 2. I can't speak for the Vision W, but the Vision M I had was atrocious. The controls were horrible, and the one thing that it had over the iPod that I wanted - the FM radio - was so bad that it couldn't get a clear FM signal from New York stations while actually in Manhattan. 3. and 4. don't really apply to me since, even when I ran Windows, I had no burning desire to drag and drop MP3's to my iPod via Explorer, and Mediamonkey just seemed like a clone of iTunes. maccrawj wrote: 1. FUD, iTunes is garbage BECAUSE it is apples product getting it's mits into your wallet machine. 2. Nothing wrong with Creative Zen Vision W vs. iPod, better IMO since ZVW has bigger screen and most certainly is not crap. 3. It can be managed simply with Explorer or MediaMonkey, likely just like iPod can be. 4. MediaMonkey is a damn good app that leaves me wanting nothing more
Re: [H] Oops! new psu's needed
600W is pushing it with a 3870X2 or 4870X2, better to have the 750 or 850W and not be taxing most of the PSU's rating.

Re: [H] Hit the wall!
j., Thanks for the rec, but the deal is now done. Yes, I could deal with oops, made a bad choice-can I return and trade-up. But, I believe I will go forward with: Asus P5Q3 Intel E8400 (stock Intel hs/fan) 2x1GB DDR3-1333 Crucial (Ballistix-kit) PCPC S61EPS psu Yes, I'll agree that DDR3 RAM is pricey, but IIRC Intel Core i7 will baseline DDR3. I can swap an Intel P45 m/b and cpu for an X58 m/b and processor. At least, I hope the ram moves forward. And by that time ram prices MAY come down :) Just my choice.

Re: [H] WinXP Partition size?
That does not happen when you do it RIGHT! The install has to be done so that Windows chooses the second partition rather than relying on users to remember. Bottom line is it's a cinch to backup core windows to a DVD as an image if all that's on C: is windows. Greg Sevart wrote: At work: One volume. Even with our technical user base, I'd rather just avoid problems with users not putting files in the correct locations. At home: I generally used 20-25GB for XP, and use 50-55GB for Vista. It just makes reinstalls easier and quicker, since you have less data to move off before nuking...even though I may only do them once every year or two. I also do automated boot volume backups every other night, making a reasonably-sized boot volume nice. Not to mention that keeping your OS files closer to the outside of the spindle (first part of a disk to fill up) by creating a smallish boot partition effectively short-strokes the drive, which can result in faster boot times.

Re: [H] Oops! new psu's needed
j., I have no plans to ever try to run 2x video cards again. I did enjoy my dual-VooDoo SLI of years past, but, in the end, I have no plan to repeat this exercise again. BTW, the psu is CrossFire rated should I get really goofy. Not likely. At this point, I am into boring, long term stability. LOL!

Re: [H] Asus m/b and CPU(SOLVED)
Thanks to all who responded. I just discovered the thing I really had missed in the User's Manual. At 73 you do miss a few things, trust me. One little tiny thing on the end of the chip nomenclature is the alpha 05A. This board is compatible with 06/05B/05A processors. It is Nvidia 680i SLI. Thanks for your help.

Re: [H] need iPod help ?
