I've been having some problems with my Primus ADSL for a little while now and every time I ring up the support people 'coz I can't fix it (3 times now) the techie guy has explained that the Enternet300 software they provide is "very buggy under win2k".. so last night I set out to find and use something better. Turns out "something better" is raspppoe, which was designed for Win2K from the start. What a revelation! Simple install procedure, lightning-fast login, no more system pausing before - and after - login, no more randomly-not-being-assigned-an-address, no more waiting 30 seconds before being able to resolve names.. etc etc. It just works. Good stuff. Primus can't support it and neither can I, but if you're having trouble all I can say is it works 100% for me.
VIAHW have some info on the 686b SouthBridge Bug, with some suggested fixes.
Dean sent in this Gangsta Rap Star Wars thing, pretty funny in places.. :)
AthlonOC have a guide to tweaking the AMD760 chipset, thanks Elvis.
There's an older guide to putting a thermistor under your slug on benchtest.com, similar to the ProCooling one from yesterday but doesn't involve attacking your socket with a dremel, thanks Jason.
Owen the cyber-sleuth points out a global conspiracy.. the cases used by SGI and Dell for their new Itanium systems are pretty much identical. My theory is that there are special (heatsink mounting like P4?) requirements and that not many OEM manufacturers have started making Itanium-ready cases that are sexy enough for Dell and SGI to use, so they happened to choose the same ones. Maybe.
This is the kind of thing we like to see, NVNews have a guide to using a rear-window demister fixing kit to unlock the bridges on your SocketA CPU. :)
Happy 18th Birthday Ice-Boy!
