FF are pretty quick releasing updates to deal with any vulnerabilities compared to IE in the past. Also, if Opera had a bigger market share, I'm pretty sure more vulnerabilities would be found and exploited.

ATM I'm using the latest FF 3.1 beta (default browser) and ocassionaly IE8 which is quite zippy and stable now. Although, I found having dozens of certain Facebook pages open will generally crash any browser.

  • 2 weeks later...

Haven't looked at the hardware scene for a while and I'm gonna upgrade. For those who are interested in commenting on the components, please do.

The list is as follows.

New PC: Running Windows 7

Intel i7 920 CPU $415 LEADER

SAS 74gb Seagate HDD 15k RPM $318 LEADER

ASUS P6T Deluxe Motherboard $459 MSY

OCZ DDR3 PC3-10666 i7 Edition 6GB $169 PC Case Gear

HIS Hightech Radeon HD4830 512MB $156 PC Case Gear

New Server (from current hardware)

WD Caviar 1TB Black AV x2 $334 MSY

3xSATA Hotswap Bay (2x 5.25" bay) $150 LEADER

Gonna chuck RHEL 6 on the server and run raid1 TB as a filestore and use my current 36gb raptor as the OS drive

Anyone know any places I can get better prices ? :P

-D

When is this PC happening? Windows 7's ETA is towards the end of the year...

MSY is good for prices... when they actually have what you want in stock!

ETA is end of year but RC1 comes out in a week or so and has a 12 month lifespan

PC is gonna happen in 4-6 weeks, hoping the prices come down a tad...

-D

Are you going to use RAID 0 for Windows 7?

Eventually. I'll use the one SAS drive to start with and then get the second a few weeks later (theyre a bit pricey)

New pc will be running Raid 0 74 GB Seagate 15k rpm's and a single 500 WD Green for non-backed up filestorage

New server will run off a SATA WD Raptor 36gb and then I'll raid 1 the terabyte drives and chuck em in a nice hot swap enclosure (both cases are rack mounted)

RHEL6 hasnt been released yet but I have it on pretty good authority that its only a couple months away. Can use 5.3 till then

Nice :D Those i7 920 CPU's OC pretty hard from what I've seen..... good value

Theyd better be.... theyre the only ones I can afford atm !

The mobo I'm getting is good for a few more generations of the i7 range as well as up to 24 gigs of ram and 3 way SLI, so plenty of room to upgrade later when the prices go down

-D

I can't wait for RC1 to come out.

I am gonna format and redo my Phenom machine and put W7 on 3 x 36Gb 10,000rwm Raptors in Raid 0, with 2 x 1Tb drives inside my LianLi box, and 2 x 1Tb WD Greens in my external e-SATA SuperBox - should do for storage for now - but Adam have just released that on May 17 they are effectively doubling their data allowances - I am currently on 60Gb - will change to 60Gb for use between 8am and midnight, then ANOTHER 60Gb between midnight and 8am. 120Gb of {mostly NewsBin/SABnzbd} data per month - swoit!

Hoping that W7 kicks ass on 3 x 36Gb raptors striped, even on a lowly Quad core Phemon 9500! If only the x86 would see more Ram I would add another 4Gb OCZ, but I can't be arsed getting x64 to work properly, as it is my daily/work machine, and Vista64 was a major headache.

Have also sourced a kick-ass 4850 1Gb card to upgrade my existing 256Mb GDDR3 3850 (which has been awesome to tell the truth).

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
