what are the chances of a dodge DVD rom causing problems when not using a CD ect?

my PC was running painfully slow tonight all of a sudden. I unplugged my DVD rom to reconnect my spare HD to back up and it is running fine with out it......

either that or i'm going crazy

come to think about it, it may also have something to do with disconnecting my second monitor

With regards to dvd ide slow down; I've never seen anything of the like unless the dvd drive is being accessed and it has dropped back to PIO transfer. If the drive is idling you 'shouldn't' see any performance decrease regardless. But nothing is ever really certain. There's many hardware combinations etc.

Maybe the reset fixed a few loose ends so to speak. :)

anyone got any sitting round??

after a quick purchase

AMD Athlon XP 2200+ (.13u) (256K,266,Socket 462)

AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (.13u) (256K,266,Socket 462)

AMD Athlon XP 2400+ (.13u) (256K,266,Socket 462)

any reason you dont want a 2500+???

So i'm thinking of buying a new mac book pro.

What do people think?

The one i'm looking at runs a core 2 duo intel chip, geforece 8600 chip, 2 gig or ram and what not.

And i really only want it for media based stuff, and surfing the web. I'm pretty much sick of windows. Plus i have my brothers computer for games. And i have almost every other console under the sun. So i'm not buying it with the intention of using it as a games computer.

I know they do cost a lot of money compared to a windows based laptop eqivelent. but i really like the look of the new mac book.

Also it will be bought for use at work as well so it will be salary scarificed so in the end the total cost won't be as bad.

Also everyone needs to download the new MGS4 english trailer. looks freaking good.

And i'm not entirely convinced that you will play as David Hayter (solid snake) in this one, from some little interesting things i've seen the trailer.

Well i guess in theory you could, but you'd have to format a drive using the correct file system and all that.

Plus steve jobs said you will never see a mac OS "legally" run on a pc.

If you've seen a new macbook you'll appreciate how muc thought has gone into them. Just the design of the actual laptop, the way it is silent as there are no fans (not that i could here anyway)

But thanks for the imput im interested in what people say.

The Macs are actually quite nice.

If I was going to spend the $$ on a laptop a mac it would be.

Home PC, windowz purely due to software/games thats available.

MacOSX doesn't work all that good on PC. I've had it running on an all intel system fairly well but there's still the odd little hickup.

Good to become familiar with the system or trouble shooting help etc but anymore and I wouldn't bother.

    • Yeah - Half the problem is I know this sensor actually goes to 150C.. I'm pretty certain it is min of 11C. So still more data required I suppose. It's really quite hard to get the oil temp to 100+ then immediately pull over and take a reading before the temp drops. Annoyingly I suppose the range I really 'want' is likely 80 -> 120C. TBH the ecu can't really *do* anything with it, and the gauge itself is very visible... ...but you know how it is.
    • My EFR 8474 Black, made 800awhp on a roller dyno. at 25-26psi. E85. Shaft speed was around 106,000rpm 1.01 rear. The rear is maxed.  6 boost Turbosmart 60mm gate 3.5inch exhaust  Head is worked to the shithouse. Bain racing. VCam. 272 exhaust. RB28 - RB26 foundation.  You have an intake issue. Start getting proper data and I mean go back to the simple things.  - Pressure test your intake - Block off the Turbo BOV, you don't need it.  - Test pressure before and after your intercooler If your head is pretty stock, that is your issue. Especially if it is NA.  Take it off and spend $10k on it. 
    • Temp = -21.052 X Voltage + 114   That should get you pretty close. Calcs based on two points I could do easy calcs on (30 and 70 degrees).   It also says your sensor should only read as low as 9 degrees when it maxes out at 5V, and should hit a peak of 114 degrees at 0V... Just as a heads up if you were going really cold places, or wanting to be aware when temps really go up with it.
    • you, sir, are a prince. good on ya.
