By that logic, why would anyone want a Daystar Genesis or a Mac IIfx or a Quadra 700/700/900? Because it's cool, because it can still do useful work? What is your opinion? If your only interest is the lastest and greatest, why hang out on an old hardware centric site? I'm not trying to start...

It's the NetBurst variant aka Northwood. It was built a month before Prescott came out which is fine with me as early Prescotts benchmark lower than the later Northwoods. As a XP machine, it's very speedy for most applications. I was given the PW 470 because the Mobo developed the infamous...

I have a Power Edge 1300 too. Mine is dual 550 as I recall. I runs Windows 2000 Advanced Server and I think it has 1gb ram. I was recently given a PowerEdge 1500SC and a Precision Workstation 470 which is a dual Xeon 2.8ghz box.

Northeast of Dallas it's 42, no wind to speak of and will be in the low 60's this afternoon. This will last today and tomorrow then we'll return to our usual December temps of low 70's with a morning lows in the 50's. We'll get real winter weather in January or February. Last year we only...

I just had a friend who moved back to Eagle River from Dallas and he was amazed at the cost of power and the high property taxes here. I drove his Denali to Eagle River in August for him. I was amazed at the lack of Blue Laws in WI. I stopped in at a C-Store to buy ice and was struck by the...

Fuel Usage From Most Common to Least Common: 1. Natural Gas 2. Lignite Coal 3. Nuclear 4. Wind 5. Hydroelectric They were going to build 8 new coal plants but have scrapped plans to build five of them. I wish they would build more reactors. We only have three nuke plants on line with two...

As usual the state government has totally screwed the public with deregulation. Power rates were under 7 cents kwh now on a normal retail provider they can be as high at 18 cents. We are paying 11 cents because our retail provider is a member owner co-op utility. If you will sign a long term...

The last time I checked we are paying $0.113 per kWh.

It's 4500 sqft of conditioned space. Plus Texas has the highest unregulated electricity rates in the US. We are lucky being served by a power co-op or our bill would be 30-40% higher than it is. You live in the Carolinas too, which is a much cooler climate. We finally got to switch off the...

Sounds very likely. As for the power bills, I have a somewhat large house with a pool and a ton of appliances. Our average power bill runs around $7-800 a month. I might not even notice the ANS.

There was a Radius video card in one of the slots. I'm assumning that someone has tried the old "use a PCI video card and 9500 ROM SIMM" trick to get it to boot Mac OS before. Other than that, just the 200mhz upgrade processor card, a CD-ROM, DAT drive and several hard drives. It weighs about...

I haven't posted much since the forum crash but I got a new toy today, an ANS 700/200. It has some issues but I'm beginning the troubleshooting and hope to have it booting something soon. Best of all, it was free.

I've been using a HyperCard stack for recipes for years running on a Mac Classic. For a while I was hosting the card stack on my NT server running SFM located in the home office but after moving to an apartment, I hosted it locally. Now that I'm slowly getting my home network setup in my new...
