And now it's installed. Heh. I love Ubuntu. Here's a one-liner that'll (probably?) do what you want: find . -name '*.tif' | perl -pi -e 'print $_; $_ =~ s/tif/png/;' | xargs -n 2 convert Finds all .tif files below the current directory,and creates a PNG version with the same name but new extension....
Broken at the moment, and so is TF2. Whenever I load either one of them up, everything is all jerky and sound starts looping. Occasionally the window goes all flashy and stuff. I had similar stuttering issues with Source-engine games. Either disabling sound or enabling vsync solved the issue. I hav...
It would've been interesting to know what the memory tests from Sandra and CPU-Z showed when it was in its misconfigured slow state.
It's probably not quite as good, but Memtest's displayed bandwidth to RAM in the misconfigured state was around 2800MB/s, and in the working state is around 3600MB/s.
It would've been interesting to know what the memory tests from Sandra and CPU-Z showed when it was in its misconfigured slow state. Yeah. I actually tried starting up Sandra, but for whatever reason it wouldn't start. Forgot about CPU-Z, though! Nothing else seemed particularly slow, except for di...
I was able to cure the problem by swapping memory banks. That is, originally I had my RAM set up as the 2 1GB sticks in slots 1 and 3, and the 2GB sticks in 2 and 4. Switching that around (2GB in 1 and 3, 1GB in 2 and 4) seems to have solved the issue :-? (FWIW, Memtest didn't find any problems, and...
[Mods: not sure if this belongs in General Hardware, but since it's not overclocking, and the issue occurs in both Windows and Linux...] I added an additional 4GB of RAM to my machine over the weekend (bringing it up to a total of 6GB), and ever since have been having trouble with ridiculously slow ...
The Core Temp reading is 15C higher because it assumes a Tjunction reference temperature of 100C, as shown in the screenshot. Speedfan is assuming a reference temperature of 85C. The internal temp sensors on the Core2 series report not the exact temperature, but an offset from the Tjunction referenc...
preferably (if it's possible/practical) to be able to see/manipulate my actual desktop as if I were there (the terminal is nice, but clicking on things is nicer). For this, you'll want to look up VNC. Ubuntu (at least the normal GNOME-based variant, I don't know about K/Xubuntu) lets you share your...
I've posted the same thing on several other Q6600 threads ( :P ), but if you want to reach for high overclocks, you should look at a stronger cooler - the U120X or Tuniq Tower. Don't get me wrong - the Ninja is a good heatsink, and I use one myself, but getting much more than 3GHz out of the quad is...
From what I gather, quad-cores are actually thermal-limited when you try to overclock them aggressively. Yup, that's right. I think you'll need to spend a bit more than $30 if you want to hit 3GHz or above. The Scythe Ninja is about $40 at the 'egg, and 3GHz is pretty close to the limit for that he...
[I have an overclocked Q6600, so this is just a sampling of what I've experienced. YMMV and all.] The higher bus speed of the P35 won't really be necessary. The Q6600 has a high enough multiplier that you'll run out of thermal headroom on the chip before you run out of bus speed on the motherboard. ...
I don't even recall whether the quad-core procs have 4 channels instead of just 2 Nope - remember that Intel procs have the memory controller on the NB, not the CPU, so doubling the number of processors doesn't affect the interface to main memory. I voted other. Bought a pair of g.Skill sticks abou...
Don't forget overclocking. I'm running my Q6600 at 3GHz (giving it an effective 1333MHz FSB). Of course, the flip-side to this argument is that on the same thermal budget, you could probably push the 6850 even harder. Still, if you're willing to invest in good cooling (3GHz is about the most I can g...
If VLC can play it, chances are Mplayer can as well - and whatever Mplayer can play, Mencoder can usually transcode :D . It's almost certainly not as user-friendly as the tool flip recommended (since, even by Linux standards, it's got an ugly command-line), but it's also free. (There is a port for w...
If you're going air, I'd also go with one of the coolers previously mentioned. I'm running a Q6600 with a Ninja Rev B (using the two case fans in my P180, in addition to the Ninja's own 120mm). I have it at 3.0GHz at stock voltage, but it does get quite hot under full load (I get the occasional TM2 ...
(All measurements in inches, HxWxD) TT Armor: 20.87 x 8.66 x 22.05 (3985.19 cu in) CM Stacker: 23 x 9 x 21.2 (4388.4 cu in) Antec P180: 21.3 x 8.1 x 19.9 (3433.35 cu in) Casezilla: 25 x 11 x 20 (5500 cu in) So with the exception of depth, it's still bigger than all of them...though the stacker comes...
I'm pretty sure it's larger than the CM Stacker, in width anyway. What's easy to see are the 8 5.25" bays from top to bottom, then a pair of 92mm fan slots, so pretty close to the Stacker. What's harder to see is that inside the case, to the right of the 5.25" bays, the 3.5" bays actu...
That's a P180 on the right and the server case I just bought on the left. There are no tricks of perspective in the shot....This thing is at least 1.5x bigger in each dimension!
Yes, you can certainly do that. Probably the best way is to create one giant partition on the 15GB drive, and a 15G partition on the 20G drive. The Ubuntu installer will let you RAID those two partitions together. You'll then have 5G free to create unRAIDed partitions as well (swap, tmp, things like...
Speaking as an RX-8 owner myself, I can say it's a pretty awesome car. Definitely doesn't have the straight-line grunt of a Mustang, GTO, or 350Z, but (as someone said earlier) its handling is amazing. Having a real backseat is great, and not having a gigantic blind spot *cough* 350Z *cough* is nice...
OK, correction. It never POSTs if I have CPU Host Clock Control enabled in the BIOS. If I let it pick the FSB speed on its own (ie, let it choose 266), all is hunky-dory. However, if I enable the control, it won't POST even if I put in 266 myself. :-? To its credit, it prints the 2096064K OK message...
