Bubba7, You really hit the nail on the head. I have read some of your lengthy contributions whenever I had nothing better to do. I must say that I never saw the light though. I simply lacked the motivation to study your materials more thoroughly telling myself: "where is the minimum data...

Sabena, where are you? You used to hang around all over this thread. We all miss you here. Luckily I just stumbled on your most recent post:

waggie945 The reason for my post is to point out the ridiculous 77 degrees Celcius that you brought up yourself in your post. I simply pointed out that in my experience the interior case temperatures are way, way below what you are talking about. That's all. If you run up temperatures in...

One must be insane to spend $143.00 without shipping for a power supply! Let me give you some facts. For 3 months now, I run a 2.8GHz Pentium 4 on an Intel D875PBZ motherboard with 1Gbyte RAM. I put it in an Antec Sonata case which comes with a high-reliability low noise 380watts power...

On "burn-in". The underlying principle is that for every system of any complexity, most certainly electronic systems and computers, the likelihood or probability of failure over a given time interval is typically highest at the beginning of the system's life. This probability of failure...

Please read the conclusion in the url provided by shyhh: http://www.sharkyextreme.com/hardwa...cle.php/2218651 What we can see from this chart is that those wanting to play in the 3.0 GHz or higher waters had better bring a fat wallet, but that the new Pentium 4-2.8C, 2.6C and 2.4C GHz...

jeffrey, It does not make much difference, but I would go for the 2.8GHz cpu, it has the best performance/cost ratio. As memory is cheap right now, put in gigaabyte, it will probably pay itself back very soon as you will be able to handle (future?)loads with less swapping. If you would...

Sorry, I messed up in transmitting, I'll try again. So, the Mesa thread came back to life again. I did not plan on breaking in again if it were not for some interesting posts which appeared on ET in the meantime. As some posters on the Mesa thread have pointed out, a simple MA system...

So, the Mesa thread came back to life again. I did not plan on breaking in again if it were not for some interesting posts which appeared on ET in the meantime. As some posters on the Mesa thread have pointed out, a simple MA system has about the same potential as "rocket science" Mesa...

Wally, Please stop covering your crap with Einstein's dictum. In fact we all know that Einstein was a great man. You are doing him a disfavor. Maybe you would like: "Most people only produce shit during their lives". Leonardo da Vinci.

JR is right on Switzerland, except for flags. I lived in a small Swiss village many years ago - I am not swiss. I vividly recall seeing my elder swiss neighbor across the street stepping out every morning, never failing to salute the swiss flag in front of his house. This is unseen in the...

The thread on MESA has already accumulated a few pages. MESA seems to have a following of some ardent supporters or true believers. Others are eager to get at some factual performance figures. The point is not whether x y or z are "nice guys" or "honest rocket scientists" but whether the...

I fully agree with nitro. As a control engineer I have been following for years the mesa business. I would refer to it as scientism: i.e. the application of scientific looking tools to areas where they do not make sense. I cannot understand why TASC allowed this guy to publish his articles...
