    LA Wi-Fi Initiative

    There's a REASON that previous advertiser-supported "free" internet ideas have flopped. Yet gov'ts will keep throwing good money down a hole. I am technical lead for a small WISP in Atlanta. Atlanta recently had a similar effort. We read the RFP and had to laugh at it. All kinds of crazy...

    Are these e4300 chips any good?

    I ran my E4300 at 380x9=3420 for about a day. Got worried about the heat though due to the goofy Ninja Rev. B mounting bracket. I didn't run Orthos was just doing desktop stuff, gaming, and DivX because at that time I didn't know about all those requirements for inclusion. Not going to try and...

    Are these e4300 chips any good?

    No, the E4300 is AllenDale design. These are not Conroe-rejects. Yes they are all one big happy Core2 family, but while the E6300 & E6400 are Conroe with half the cache disabled, the Allendales are built with only 2 megs to start with. The Allendale are done from a different mask and different...

    Are these e4300 chips any good?

    Blah blah... people obsessing about the OC-ability. Back in the day, we were happy to get a Celeron-300A up to 450. A 50% OC. The E4300 is the new Celeron, especially after the price comes down. A 50% OC without breaking a sweat or straining your mobo and RAM. 66% seems quite common...

    unofficial E4300 overclocking database

    I ran 3 programs and got 3 different results on my now-idle E4300 system: Intel TAT v2.05.2006.0427: 44C RightMark CPU Clock Utility v2.2: 18C CoreTemp Beta 0.94: 27C Crazy! After rebooting the system and going into the BIOS it was showing about 32C. So that puts CoreTemp as the...

    The Official Core 2 OverClocking Database *READ 1st Post for Instructions*

    I ran 3 programs and got 3 different results on my now-idle E4300 system: Intel TAT v2.05.2006.0427: 44C RightMark CPU Clock Utility v2.2: 18C CoreTemp Beta 0.94: 27C Crazy! Later I'll cross-check these with BIOS temps and see who is closest.

    The Official Core 2 OverClocking Database *READ 1st Post for Instructions*

    The high temps on my E4300 is I think due to the goofy Scythe LGA-775 mounting system. The push-pins don't provide enough clamping force, so it's not getting the kind of heat-transfer that it should. I know the heatsink didn't feel like 78C even near the base. I'm going to take the motherboard...

    unofficial E4300 overclocking database

    Couldn't we just use the Intel TAT program and click "START" on both CPU's? This program seems to load up both cores quite well, from the resulting temps it looks like an even harsher load than Orthos.

    unofficial E4300 overclocking database

    I pulled the system apart to put the HR-05 on the Northbridge, so I yanked the Ninja off to look at the CPU. These are the markings, which one is the week? Intel '05 Intel Core 2 Duo 4300 SL9TB Malay 1.80 GHz/2M/800/06 Q640A520 (lower down) 2L64872 2A1399

    Three Sony headphones... which ones to get?

    There's a reason the Sony MDR-V6 has been made for like 20 years now. They are good solid headphones. Not "I get to brag about how much I spent on my cans" good, just a solid black reliable product. If you want to look DJ-hip, or have silver and gold trim and the meaningless gold-plated plug...

    unofficial E4300 overclocking database

    Hmmm, the official thread has some rigid rules about screen-shots etc. I'll have to go back and collect data tonight in order to post to that thread. How can I collect all that CPU data like week-number? Any way to get it without removing the heatsink? To pull the Ninja off I'll have to...

    Best headphones for ~$100?

    I am very happy with Sony MDR-V6 units. They have been making these for 20 years now. Are they bestest-best headphones ever? No. I am sure there are audiophiles on this board who have spent $300+ on headphones who will deride them. However, for $68 + free shipping from Amazon, they are DARN...

    Vista On Sale Tonight

    So, I should sacrifice gaming performance just to be on the bleeding edge? No thank! I'll let the idiots do that, and then think about it in 2008 or 2009. Saw this article about Gaming on Vista entitled "Gaming stinks with RTM Vista and current drivers" over at Tom's...
