Re: WinXP and Office XP/2003 Updates after April 2014

Our wintel team has been devastated by rampant outsourcing recently so maybe we're an exception, but what's happening at other people's workplaces? Did you move to 7 long ago? Anyone going to 8?? Honestly aside from either dated personal machines, or machines that are explicitly chosen to run older …

Re: what is with these newer cases

The Asus board you have is ATX (standard 12x9.6) - not so huge. A lot of modern cases target the "mid tower" or "mini tower" design though, especially with the rise of MicroATX and ITX platforms. Just look for a more conventional full-tower - they still do exist, and there are many manufacturers …

Re: Voodoo2 - Wanting to attach heatsinks...

In general I'm not a fan of thermal tape if it can be avoided, even for applications where it is appropriate (and I think in this case you should be fine). I'd suggest thermal adhesive instead - I know that both Arctic Silver and Arctic (they are very much different companies) make suitable …

Re: New Socket 7 Build

No - that's D-Sub to MiniDIN; I have one of those that's got cable in the middle for an old Microsoft mouse and sometimes it works, sometimes it locks up the system (depends on the board it seems). I mean DIN to MiniDIN, like this: http://www.cable-trader.co.uk/images/items/PS2%20male%20to%20AT% …

Re: What happened to Firewire tech?

From what I had heard at the time, Apple held the patent and other manufacturers had to license it from an overzealous Apple. If I am remembering correctly,Sony did not even call theirs Firewire. It's technically IEEE-1394, and maintained/developed by the 1394 Working Group. TI and Sony were also …

Re: 775 and ISA

...unless someone can attest to a good use for the ISA slot in these types of boards. Supporting super-expensive but somewhat dated testing and automation equipment in the industrial/scientific sector. They aren't targeting home users at all with these kinds of boards; it's more for the folks that …

Re: What happened to Firewire tech?

There are two Firewire specifications. One for 400mbps and a faster one at 800mbps. Some G4 PowerMacs had both but then Apple split them off and made the 800mbps variant available only on professional grade Macs while consumer models had to make do with 400mbps. The white Macbooks still had a …

Re: WinXP and Office XP/2003 Updates after April 2014

How about some context for that image? April 1st isn't that far behind us. It likely won't be in Windows 8 according to the blog post it's associated with: http://blogs.windows.com/windows/b/bloggingwindows/archive/2014/04/02/thoughts-on-day-1-of-build-2014.aspx "Preview of work in the next …
