That depends on which supply is changing. +12 and +5 and
(in ATX systems) +3.3 are from the power supply. The CPU core
voltage is generated locally. Assuming that you haven't lost a
connector or wire, that should narrow it down considerably.

The servers in the corner of my office (800MHz intel) don't have fans on
the cpu. Instead they have huge heatsinks, and the chassis fan air is
ducted across them. Looks a good technique.

Hi,all
For those having problems with ProSavage PM133
( Pro Savage KM133 is for Athlon system ) built in VGA in Via
chipset, goto download driver from www.s3graphics.com
( I can't find this url registered in google, however it really exist )
it's s3savage-1.0-13.tar.gz, those listed in s3 nextmill site doesn't work
for me until this driver ( in s3 nextmill it was in earlier version 1.0-6 )
You should have XF86Setup ( and XF86Setup requires VGA16 server
to be install though ) installed, else it will complain.
( You can find it in the RedHat CD RPM dir ).
However, I can get it start in 640x480 16 bppmode only, I can get it work
in 800x600 16 bpp.
Hope u can get better result than me.
Enjoy !!

5V on a 12V fan isn't the best way to go. As dust accumulates and the
bearings degrade, 5V can be too low to get the fan started, meaning a cooked
processor. : ) You can go with a 7-volt solution with some creative
wiring...

Why not purchase one of the fans that already has the speed adjustment
built in?

If you're running a *single* drive, the 80 MB/sec of UW SCSI2 is more
than enough, as the fastest single drives barely put out more than 40
MB/second. However, if you have more than one drive on the SCSI bus, as is
almost always the case in RAID setups, and often the case even without RAID,
then multiple drives can saturate the bus. With U160, you can have up to
about 4 fast drives (or more drives if they're slower) working at once
before the bus starts to be the bottleneck.
Note that U320 is also in the works, I believe that Adaptec has some
boards in production now. In a RAID setup, that means that you could have
up to about 8 drives per bus.

Hello!
I'm going to buy a new HD and a promise Ultra66 or Ultra100 card. I
would like to buy a Maxtor DiamondMax 80 80gb drive, or a DiamondMax
VL40 40gb drive. I've read that some Promise controllers have
incompatibilities with some Maxtor drives. Is this true?
Are the cards supported by Linux?
Where can I find drivers for them?
Thank you in advance.

Support is built in kernel 2.4.x series, and can be added to previous
kernels. For more info check out.
http://www.linux-ide.org/
Note the raid support is a closed source driver by promise and this is
only software raid. The software raid in kernel 2.4.x series works
just as well as the promise driver. Note the promise raid driver will
not work with 2.4.x kernels, and promise is not promising to upgrade
the driver.
See the above site for more details.

I use the Epox 8kta3 for my box at home. Works fine, but you don't see a
huge speed increase from 66 to 100
With IBM DTLA drives (ATA100, 5400 RPM) I get about 23-27 megs /sec xfer
rate. not bad
tried the software raid and that went up to 33 read 40 write for level 0
which is decent for a $110 MB and $85 HDs
Nice thing about the EPOX is that it still has one ISA slot for a REAL
modem and no wasted slots for AMR crap

You could try recompiling your kernel and disabling the mtrr. This would
slow down your graphics but give you more stability. Recommended as a

Not knowing the model numbers of the Barracuda (there have been several
versions over the years) but given you are using an older scsi controller, I
would say you are probably comparing 2-3 year old scsi disk to one of the
newest and fastest IDE disks (I have 3-4 year old Barracuda that is still
happily running, even though it has been in 3 different systems). Even if you
bought the disk this year, it is now the bottom of the line for scsi disks.
The standard for SCSI is now 10,000rpm, and as you mentioned the 15,000rpm are
starting to become available, while 7,200rpm has become the standard for IDE
disks with 5,400rpm fading away.
As people have been pointing out, where SCSI really shines is in server type
situations where you have multiple disks spinning and multiple requests coming
it.

Do you have specifics on this NIC? Who makes it (or failing that, who
distributes it), model #, any information off the chips, etc. If its a PCI
card, the output form lspci, etc...

Actually, the below remark was not dumb. It's important to point out that not all
sound cards have power amplifiers on them. One example is my Ensoniq PCI 1370
sound card. I use amplified speakers with it, and the audio is great. How do you
tell whether your card has a power amp? Well, the technical specs on your card
should say so. But of course you can actually look at the card. A power amp will
likely have a heat sync mounted on top of it.
