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.

    • I've got a spare standard box sitting in the garage  I know it will come one day though, but it's driven pretty tamely on the four times a year it gets out... 
    • Big question… have you decided on a gearbox? Because it’s going to come… and a gearset ain’t going to do the job.    save your pennies 🤪
    • it was good to see our presence at GTR festival..hope to see more SAU at these events 
    • This is awesome.     
    • Thanks for the quick replies guys its appreciated. A small extension was welded onto the standard 6boost external gate pipe which you can see where the pipe goes from black to stainless just below and to the right of the rear housing in the first picture. Overall I would say the flow is pretty good other than 6boosts choice to come straight off the collector at a decent angle.. Not sure why I went with two valves, I originally replaced the stock twin bovs with the GFB when I had the twins on. When I purchased the EFR it came with the Turbosmart Kompact BOV so I figured that would be a better option than the stock EFR Bov. I don't believe the Turbosmart BOV is adjustable? When I get the spike and then sudden dip in boost pressure, the turbo speed does drop as well. Stock head size wise however I believe it has Neo Turbo springs and a Neo Turbo intake camshaft and an aftermarket exhaust camshaft in the vicinity of 260 degrees. We didn't try a different MAC valve, we tried two different ways of plumbing it and we also tried removing the mac valve entirely and just having the boost source from the turbo directly connected to the wastegate and it still spiked / dropped and exhibited the same behaviour. Standard R33 GTR 5 speed tansmission. I'm running a Haltech Elite 2500 and can provide some logs if you. I understand what you're saying in that it looks like an auto plot however no, it's still a manual and it just has a lot of torque down low, for all intents and purposes it's a very impressive street car. I've attached a photo of the quickbitz dyno plot which was when the only difference is I was running -5 twin turbos with a mac valve. As you can see theres a decent dip in AFRs between 125kmh and 135kmh. Our problem now is not that the AFRs are dropping, just the boost pressure is dropping, however it is evident in the same RPM range of the map, coincidentally or not.
