I found out that the iPOD is the only MP3 player with a harddrive that will play the audible formats used for downloaded books. I just wish the devices weren't so expensive.

I would like to purchase an MP3 player that has a harddrive so I can download books on tape. Does anyone have experience with these gadgets? Which one would you recommend, how big a hard drive, etc? Also, I thought of an iPod as a likely choice but I am using WindowsXP. Has anyone used an iPod with ...

I've never OC'd, but is my (future) Barton 2500+ a good candidate? I don't want to push it too hard, just try OCing for the first time. My mobo is MSI KT4V. Any abvice?

If you're running XP go to Administrative Tools->Computer Management->Disk Management

The unpartitioned drive will appear in there.
Nope! Doesn't appear.

I just got a replacement 60GB harddrive from Maxtor. I installed it as a 2nd drive (first is similar Maxtor 60GB) and while booting the bios says there are 2 hdds. However, When I open "My Computer" only the C drive appears. The same when I open Ghost. Only one drive appears. I have tried ...

In saying that if you want the ability to say 'I've got a Barton' then hell yeah, go for it!!

Cheers!

Cheers back atcha. I'll pass on the bragging rights and maybe wait till next year. Thanks.

I could hate you for this. I was going to build a machine for my grandson soon (he's only 2). I was going to put maybe an 1800-2000+ in it. Now I think I'm gonna give him my Palamino 2000 and buy a new one for me.

I am currently using a 2000+ Palamino with 1GB PC 2700 RAM and MSI KT4V mobo. I don't game or OC. Would I see an appreciable difference upgrading to a Barton 2500+?

My favorite case mod is putting LED's in the molex connectors

Nice look

Still amazing! Again this post showed up. I posted it ages ago.

Since the original posting I have stopped using rounded cables. I found that if you open your case a lot and change stuff, as I do, the rounded cables sometime loosen and create problems. Has anyone found this?

As usual, a great answer, Penguin. bUt I just looked at your website and you haven't updated you Quake info since we had Pentium II's. Ain't it time?

I'd like your opinion of this:

Did you already apply the SP1 on the XP setup? In that case you'll either have to use a slipstreamed XP CD that includes the service pack OR you can try to point it to your " C:\WINNT\system32\dllcache " or " C:\WINNT\Driver Cache\i386 Yes re SP1. Sorry, I don't understand the rest of...

I switched the Pabst for a Panaflo High Speed. It's maybe only a tad noisier (still real quiet) and I got it down 3 or 4 degrees celsius.

My wife has been getting a message on XP Home for some time now. It often happens after she opens or closes an app or reboots or mult-tasks. "Files that are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions. To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the o...
