Dude,

Post your pictures somewhere on a website.

For example one of those free photo websites.

My ISP is real fast and real cheap but doesn't have any binary newsgroups.

Actually it doesn't have any newsgroups at all...

I simply log into another's ISP newsgroup server which is the parent of the
company =D

Bye,
Skybuck.

You seem so informed about it, yet you do not know how to find a

site that has that group's posts available? Just lazy?

Oh, sorry... I think I see the flaw in that reasoning.

Hahaha... good one John... me too.

There is no girlfriend, right? Hahahahaha!

A little too old to be playin' in the effin mud?

That depends on how warm the mud is.

(ewwwww... TMI) Or is that "effin' in the effin' mud"?

There's a B Size printer on the left there. That desktop is a
workhorse. So... that could be an argument that even a cluttered desk
revolves around an unsound mind. I haven't heard the radio in
years... :-]

Maybe one day SkyDung will be buying on of my products, then I will
be buying an even better box.


your news server has gone nutz i think.........

Huh?

Want me to post them again?

Oh BTW, I posted two sub 300kB jpegs, but I ALSO posted the original
8.6MB each Tiff files. I think my severe bombed on them, but some of
the parts may have passed before they killed it.

What was I thinking?

There are no REAL binary servers left on ISPs! ;-] Hahahaha.
What is the world coming to!?

So, anyway, I can repost the smaller jobs.. hell, just did.

Random number generator? umm HELLOOOOOOOOOOO I said use HDTACH

Ok, I downloaded, installed and run HDTach I was a bit worried if it would
overwrite anything but it only does read tests.

The cores are running in power saving mode... though it seems this piece of
software forces the cores to run between 1800 MHz and 2000 MHz.

Here are the results of HDTach:

Quickbench 8 MB

Random Access: 12.9 ms
Burst Speed: 124.5 MB/sec
Average Read: 51.1 MB/sec
CPU Utilization: 7.0% + - 2.0%

Longbench 16 MB

Random Access: 12.8 ms
Burst Speed: 127.7 MB/sec
CPU Utilization: 6%
Average Read: 51.2 MB/sec

The program says:

MB = 1.000.000 bytes which is wrong ! but ok.

I only test drive D:

Drive C: is the same kind of drive though.. but not gonna risk it.

I hope this statisfies your curiosity.

I however I am still not convinced that this is the maximum performance of
the drive.

The HDTach benchmark itself could be the limiting factor.

And that's all I have to say about it. Believe what you want.

Bye,
Skybuck.

You can expect 50 to 70 MB/s *sustained* for the newer 7200 rpm IDE or
SATA drives (non-RAID). Actually, 50 MB/s is circa 2002 technology -
borderline dark ages. A Samsung 250GB 7200 rpm SATA drive I just
bought is just shy of 70 MB/s sustained on the outer tracks. Last
years model was 60 MB/s. Both HDTach and an internally developed
hacking tool gave the same results. Doubtful that HDTach is the
limiting factor. The incredible speeds you are seeing in the specs are
burst speeds which have little to do with reality if you're
reading/writing large data sets. You might like my $4.00 computer
speakers/amplifier that advertise they are capable of 300W.

BTW, you're missing a cooler for your CPU. The OEM fan is noisy as
hell and the heatsink is made of aluminum. You need a 1 kilo slug of
copper or another heat pipe to cool that CPU. Don't forget the tube of
Arctic Silver. I like using a chilled-water cooled heatsink, but the
damn refrigeration unit makes too much noise. Note to self, move refer
unit outside.

The mobo only has one RS232 serial port. That puts a limitation on how
you interface to the outside world. Alas, the demise of RS232!

I hope your fans have LEDs. Can't have a cool box without lights.

Once you get this beast, don't look at the offerings next year or you
will kick yourself for buying that outdated POS today.

Well,

I am a man of my word, so I tried taking some snapshots/pictures/piccies
with the webcam on windows xp 64 bit even while I am tired as hell.

Fortunately for me and unfortunately for you lol.... the trust webcam
wb-3100p (portable webcam) does not have any decent drivers for windows
xp
64 bit... so the webcamera is not working at the moment.

I do however still have my old computer next to my new computer I could
install it there but then the cable will probably be way to short to
make
any good pictures... but I will try tomorrow... so that will have to
wait
because I am tired as hell.

Kinda funny hahahahaha.

Bye,
Skybuck


excuses are like buttholes.....everybody's got one

Everybody IS one!

No that'll just be you and skybuck then Roy. Sorry to dissapoint but the
truth sucks doesn't it?

You're a goddamned retard. As well as being an asshole. In fact

you register on the TRUE ASSHOLE scale.

In your face, dipshit.

 

[Skybuck Flying]

Well,

I just tested my old pentium III 450 mhz (actually 600 mhz overclocked) and
an Hitachi 120 GB drive.

The results suprise me, it's much faster than I expected I was expecting
maybe 4 to 5 MB/sec actually I should have expected higher read speeds...
since I can remember 180 MB/sec probably from windows xp cache but still...
I wonder what write speeds would be... I don't think hd tach can test that
let's see the results were:

120 GB drive:

Random access: 12.7 ms
Burst speed: 62.2 MB/sec
Average Read: 47.4 MB/sec
CPU Utilization: 10%

15 GB Drive (IBM drive 14 gxp, 7 years old or so):

Random access: 13.4 ms
Burst speed: 16.3 MB/sec
Average read: 11.1 MB/sec
CPU Utilization: 2%

Note: This drive is heavily fragmented I bet... but still for a good test
program that shouldn't matter.

So it's interesting to see that the other drive is 4 times faster. The whole
system would probably benefit from moving windows xp to new drive... but
it's kinda risky.

It's also interesting to see that my new drive is almost 5 times faster as
the old drive. And almost as fast as the slightly older drive but still a
bit faster.

And the new drive is still in sata 1 mode instead of sata 2 mode... I will
later test the newest drive in sata 2 mode etc.

Bye,
Skybuck.

LOL, I like that. Whenever anyone puts it in print I picture a retard
with their eyes crossed and there tongue lolling out the side of their
mouth, with rivulets of drool cascading from the sides of it. Would
you post a pic of yourself so that I may validate my hypothesis?
