Four and Twenty

I am building a DIY LCD Projector. I am trying to find a 15 inch LCD monitor with DVI Input and a resolution of 1280 x 1024 or better. I would prefer 1600 x 1200. It is hard to find an lcd that small with that resolution and DVI input. Any ideas?

well the problem is that i am going to be using an overhead projector for the project. The staging area on a standard overhead projector is 11.25" x 11.25" the width of a 15" LCD is about 11.25" so that is a perfect fit the width of a 17" LCD is almost 13" so the 17" would end up overhaning. Unless I was able to modify the projector to change its focal point to be a bit further away so that it would capture the whole screen as an image. Shitty thing is that even a 1600 x 1200 res if I could get it to work would still not be HDTV resolution (1080i = 1920 x 1080) Sharp makes an LCD with DVI input which would be fine for playing DVD since the resolution of DVD is 720x480. I really want to get this for my projector setup aswell. http://www.autumnwave.com/product/product_info_2.php You see the dream is to build this projector with a computer attached to play DVD's TV etc really freaking big. I have computers for the task. All I need is a good 4000+ lumen projector, an LCD screen, and a DVI card.

Haven't been around here for a while but I thought i would drop in to talk about my new toy. I bought a Sony Ericsson GC-83 card off of ebay for $150 and go an unlimited data plan from ny local wireless provider (Unicel) and now I have internet on my laptop every where that there is GSM cell service. I have to say that it works quite well. Max speed is 240kbps which translates to 30K downloads tops. Actual performance is a constant 110kbs which is about like old ISDN speed. So all in all not that fast but it means i am connected to the internet from just about anywhere. BTW the unlimited data is $75 a month. If i didn't live in the middle of nowhere I could get t-mobile unlimited data for $50 a month. Anyhow i thought i would tell you all about it because i bet some of you didn't even know that it was such a viable and affordable option. I can't wait to test it in a better service area i bet i will get just abou top speed all the time.

use a pen and reset the router hold the reset button in untill the lights flash off then on again. the downside is that whatever settings he had in there will be gone along with the password the upside is that they take 5 mins to configure tops

I just bought a sony vaio fs550 laptop which uses the intel centrino processor my problem is that it always reports that it is running at 798mhz when it is supposed to run at 1.6 Ghz There was a reg hack for the P3's that had speedstep to that would allow you to lock the processor to the max speed all the time. That section of the registry doesn't exist on this computer. One of the downloads from sony said that it fixes the problem and it doesn't work either. I am not sure weather the processor is running that slow or not. The computer seems to be very fast. What I did when I got the computer was wipe out the hard drive and install winxp pro sp2 on it. Then I installed all the updates from winupdate then I put on all of the sony drivers. I found out later that there is a certain order that you are supposed to install the sony drivers but it is a little late for that now. Anyhow if anyone knows of a reg hack that can lock in max speed for the centrino or anything else that might help please let me know.

ok i figured it out i didn't really have a problem in the first place when i ran cpu z for a little while and loaded a bunch of intensive tasks up the cpu speed jumped right up to 1.6 ghz as it should so all seems to be working just fine

interesting update i just found this link http://www.csgnetwork.com/centintelprocspeedcalc.html if you punch 1.6 ghz in the lower field it comes out to about the speed that my system was reporting the other thing that is interesting is that now the speed is reported at 1.6 ghz in the system properties all of the sudden cpu reports 798mhz anyone know what the hell is going on here

I have tried this on many different systems with xp final and the mulitplayer game allways crashes with some error about not being able to draw something or render some shape. Also i have tried the original versoin and the update to version 3 i have tried compatability mode. I have tried using old drivers that i know worked with nfs5 multiplayer in the xp betas. I don't know what else to do. The single player game runs perfectly but the multiplayer will allways crash just after it finishes loading the level. sometimes it will show the level for a second and then crash. it is very strange and it very much pisses me off. I had this problem with my p!!! 500 and 440bx i have this problem on my dual p!!! 850 and on my friends dell 8100 notebook. O yeah i also tried it on a little celeron pos computer. That really pisses me off i would like to find a workaround or something cause that i like one of my favorite games to play against my buddys. specs of my comp are below not that i makes a diff cause it seems to be an xp issue. can anyone confirm that this is an xp issue or do i just have really bad luck or something?

i don't perticularly like the new forum but it doesn't really bother me either what does bother me is that the activity here is almost zero what happened this used to be a place where everyone posted all the time i am partly guilty i have been developing new software and that has taken most of my time recently but i still check back at least once or twice a week and there is nothing new here i suppose i could post something but i don't really have any computer problems to speak of did the world just get boring all of the sudden? it seems as though the forum here is dying do we need a new release of windows or something?

If some one could post some links or suggestions here that would be good.

I would like to put a load balancing router in between my private network and my T1 + Cable. Right now I have a T1 a SDSL and a Cable modem I have somewhere in the area of 25 computers in the building with many switches and routers connecting different groups of computers to different connections. As you can imagine this is quite a mess and i am not quite sure how or why it got this way. We have good structured cabling in place so that is not an issue at all. I am dropping the SDSL because i just got the T1 to replace it. I would like to load balance the T1 and the cable so that i can get the fast download speed that I get off the cable and the robust reliable connection that i get with the T1. One other thing that i would like this router to do if possible would be to direct certian request to certian connections. like say i hit some public ip address outside my private network like 66.232.22.10 i want that to go over the T1. The reason being is that some of the stuff i connect will only authenticate IP's that i specify with them so i would need to connect with an ip on my t1 that is static. If that feature wasn't on there that would be no big deal because i will still have some servers that are not on the private network at all and i can remote desktop into them to do stuff on the other servers. That just seems a little round about but i am used to it. Any what reasonably priced router can do what i am talking about? it would need DHCP also. -Jeff

You'll need two WAN cards, most likely a serial card for the T1, and then an ethernet WAN card for the cable service. The load balancing should all be done on the router via Cisco's IOS. How do you set that up in IOS? I talked to the local Cisco rep about doing something similar, and he suggested a crazy 3-router OER solution. I'm not confident that the consumer-grade dual-WAN port routers have have the features we need, so I was hoping to do something similar with a Cisco. Static routing, EIGRP, OSPF, etc all won't work for us, and we don't have enough people to get a whole class C block to do BGP. I would also like to know how to do this. The cheapo load balancing router i have is nice for now but I will be adding more T1's in the future so I would like a better solution soon.

i am really loving this router it worked like crap at first untill i got the latest firmware update. now it has been up for almost 3 days It is amazing that you can buy a hardware load balancing firewall/router for $80. Technology has gotten so cheap. I can now leave the office for long periods of time knowing that if on internet connection goes down nothing needs to be changed. the t1 has never gone down but the cable sure has. I like having the cable for everyone to surf on because we consistantly get 5.5 mbps off of it. I would highly recomend this product for anyone looking to hook up 2 broadband connections to their network. I am still amazed that it works this well. It was kind of a gamble buying it but I figured I could take that gamble at only $80 and it worked out great. Did I mention I like this product?

As the title says i am looking for a good free or cheap forum that will run on IIS and MSSQL server asp.NET would be ok also although i am more firmilliar with asp classic any sugestions welcome

I ended up buying this cheap one http://www.xincom.com/twr402.html good news is that it works great and i can do all the outbound IP/port routing that I need to do. I love it cause I can surf on the Cable and do FTP uploads and remote SQL admin on the T1 also the firewall is great. only downside to this router is you can't have a VPN behind it but that is ok cause i have server on the T1 that are also on the private net so i can VPN through them.

I have a laptop with xp tablet pc edition on it. i tried to install mssql2k on it twice and it failed both times i cannot uninstall it because it says the log file is corrupt i want to install MSDE on there instead since mssql2k failed but but i can't because a the MSDE installer says that there is an existing instance of SQL server and quits. How do i manualy remove the MSSQL mess? I would just reload the whole OS but this damn thing has no cd rom drive. CRAP

thanks that worked

i have a rca dcm235 cable modem and I need to get a firmware update for it because it has been acting up recently. I didn't get it from my current cable provider so they don't support updates for it. Do any of you know where I might find a firmware update for it?

sorry i think u r sol

you r supposed to use 2 of the same hdd in raid

does anyone know what the legalities are for using microsoft windows and office icons on a website or in a software package? I have seen lots of people use ms icons one their websites and in their software. Is this ok to do?

btw alec thanks for bringing a new non-boring topic to the forum it is discussions like this that used to bring me to these boards, now it seems i come here out of habit as you know it has been a little slow here recently

i say 32 is good 64 is good also i like 64 cause it is right in the middle seems like with 64 you can get that good sustained transfer needed for video capture/large file copy but you also get the bus to switch to another task pretty quick. 64 clock cycles at 33 mhz happens pretty friggin quick so that is why you don't see a real humanly noticable diff when you run your system. i think that the bus latentcy matters most for sustained transfer dependent stuff (you gotta open up a big enough window to get the stuff done before interuption) also i think that the bus is generally pretty saturated and most cards these days do a lotta crap at once so your best bet is probably the middle of the road at 64. that is what i have and it runs great. -Jeff

for me those links answered the question the card will hold the bus for the specified number of clock cycles from here on out it comes down to set and bench untill you find what works best for you
