  1. i was part of a national long term iq study.

    had an iq test at a labratory twice a year between 5 years old and 18.

    those lab tests took hours and are nothing like the tests most people see and associate with iq tests.

    take the online ones with a grain of salt.

    It's doable man, just by "accretion/osmosis"...

    i was using win 98 for gaming at home and a buddy of mine told me nt4 is just a better all around os. i thought he was full of it but i figured i'd give it a try for kicks. (he was right)

    anyway he sent me this link so i could see compatibility reports on hardware/software before i bought it. i poked around this site for years before i registered.

     

    i cant be sure but i think i registered to answer a forum question on how to reset the bios on an older motherboard... u know one without a reset jumper.

    Boy, I don't KNOW if I want to install this XP SP #2, if I EVER even run XP again... I like good ole' Windows 2000 plenty to be quite blunt about it!

    APK

     

    now installed, clean, on 8 machines at work, this machine (beta build) and my wifes old laptop.

    ZERO problems

    it's slightly less fat than sp1 (as far as rescoures) so it runs better on the old p3 600 x 256 laptop than sp1. it's got better driver support for the old stuff and as far as the engineering stations it runs faster than sp1 on long crunching cycles. java seems to interface better so less hangups with vm and java fighting things out.

     

    the old problem with properly dealing with scsi drives seems to have been fixed and thru put has jumped even on this older u160.

     

    norton corp av hasnt shown any of the temperament that i saw with sp1 either, and im not seeing the goofy little problems i was having with my wireless network here at home.

     

    all in all it's not a bad service pack when installed clean. ms did a bangup job

     


  4. i been reading these forums forever, even before w2k came out.

    puroozing this place has made me a master at special unattended installs. it has also allowed me to take over all "it" chores at this company in my spare time. (im really a process engineer) i tell everyone who is even interested in computers to come to this site and read thru the forums.

     

    there are other help forums but many are populated by children who know more about flaming than computers... i guess im too old for that nonsense anymore.


  5. lol

    no worries... clutch is da man

     

    installed a slipstreamed sp2 on all the dual xeon engineering workstations (4).

    calc's actually come out faster by 30 or 40 seconds per 5 min.

     

    and we all love the popup blocker


  6. we were getting 1200/day

    then we put a watchguard firewall in with spamscreen

     

    then i denied all of yahoo.com which was almost 1000.

    and spamscreen fixed most of the rest

     

    pure crazyness
