Well... The mysterie would be that you would not know if it was a voodoo or an awe32. Again. This is only examples. What I was thinking was something like.... X know Y is in the search for something wich can not be found locally. X packs the piece and ships it to Y at X's own expenses, with a little …

Ahhh.... Yeah. That would not be nice. Would it then? I was more like, if I knew someone wanted something cool, like an Asus P2B-DS (have none, this is an example) And I wanted to give it to someone like, say Phil, and shipped it. Then this would not be a viable suggestion to an potential mysterie …

I was thinking.... Now that trading is no possibility here on vogons. Why not just make a small trend of shipping mysterie packages to each others? People here, usually know what others are looking for or could use. I propose the following rules for this: - The one who recieves it, must not know …

Never seen one of these before. Personally I love this kind of shit, and would love to have something like this, just to play around with. Normally I use a regulair HDD for IDE, though SCSI is a bit different, so CF cards seem to be a better choice when it comes to heat. A shame you only have a CF …

Thanks. I will try that tomorrow. What about the other 3 options in the right side of that bios setup section? Can't remember what they are called right now. Should they be disabled? What are the IRQ Mode by the way? What should I set it to? I have no clue on what it is. It is set to something named …

Looking at various sources. Are you shure it has pull/up-down? It might be kind of automatic, just like on pentium boards. I simply can't find any sources that points to it.
