In the days when this thread was in it's glory,
Solar proclaim himself to be Lord of all men,
above the Almighty and all Saints,
surpassing even Xeon the Untranscendable in ego.

The decades have whitted by and the years have been buried,
in the never-ending tunnel of Time itself.
The Fool still reigns as Fool, the Lord still styled as Lord.
Some things never change, some things never die.

SolarFlare is but one among them,
like the chicken and the egg,
that comes hither the shell and barn,
may the Lord Bless Us All.

This seems to be a nice play ground for XEON :D

What's a MTH ??

Would you make a poem on me, too??
I'm a bit scared of the result to ask... but it could be fun anyway. :)

Yes, sure! :D
I suggest that Brad setup a mini section for coders to pose their proses and rythmic stuff too.
Code is rythmic and smooth, but poems are even better. :cool:

But what's there to be scared of, Marina! Am I gonna devour you? Of course not! :p

The scent of elegance
Tons of weeds across the meadows lain,
full of despair and hunger,
filled with agonies and slaughters,
are the grasses everywhere.

But look at that slender flower beneath that field,
and tell me the scent of it.
Tis' a question Socrates cannot solve,
a question Einstein has no answer to.

The scent of a woman, given by God,
unsurpassed in the face of all perfumes.
The scent of a woman, hated by the Devil,
unrivalled by the tastes of all sweet tunes.

Slim as a crystal vase and graceful as the angels,
brunette like the midnight hay and calm as the solar winds,
basking in the moonlight shades and enjoying the honeyed lush,
is Marina Vaillant the Elegant.

My best masterpiece. :cool::cool::cool:

The MTH is the Memory Translation Hub. I have an ASUS P3C2000 mainboard with an i820 chipset. Unfortunately, it still uses SDRAM by design. It is a known issue that these boards tend to be very instable; unfortunately I didn't know that as I bought it. Of course, ASUS denies any problems -- what else... I downloaded the latest BIOS revision, tweaked the settings, but no luck. It becomes worse and worse. I suspect that there is some aluminium ions migration in some component.

The big problem is that it is a Socket 1 board with a 4x AGP port -- pretty unusual for a SDRAM powered mainboard (especially the 4x AGP). I simply didn't find any other board I could use my CPU and graphics card with. If I bought a modern one, I needed to buy a CPU and RAM too *shrug*

hm..... can you see the poll in the top of the screen ? Just select your country and press the OK button. I assume it is the OK button as I only see the results now.

I'd say (from my memory) the "vote" button, but same as you, I can't see it as I have already voted, a long, long, long, long time ago. :D:D

Xeon, tou're making progress in your writing.

You'll have better chances to get a girl around here with your poems than you had by calling them "sweet tart" ;) :D.

Soon we will not be able to recognize you just by looking at your writing.

Hm... Your salary cannot provide it for you? :rolleyes:

btw: if U donot know what to do with this hards (CPU + video card) after U will buy new, U can give it to me :D

He he. The video card is the point, actually. It is a GeForce 4 Ti 4400 (pretty oversized for that PC, admitely) -- and it needs an AGP 4x. My old GF 256 passed away about 2 month ago, so I bought this one. Some three month ago, my monitor exploded (yes, literally, no joke) -- replaced that too.

So yes, I could afford a new machine, but I actually wanted to spend the money on something else. And, speaking of that, I actually do not need a faster machine. And I am getting bored to hurl a bunch of money out the window every few weeks just because some crappy component passes away :(

If really I 've thought about this. New video cards are enough expensive. And if U put N*100 $ for it, of course U donot want to put else in near time.

Hm... I know about one joke that could scare users ... about a virus that can explode monitor.

Do not need... Ok ... U say GF4... hehehe U are old gamer :)

Actually, I am too not from people who can give last money for some new hardware device. If really, my home computer is old already . It is Celeron 333 with 320 MB RAM ... old 4MB!!! video card (i donot play games) + 40 GB hard disk, 15 inch monitor...
But for programming it is enough ... even I can watch a mpeg4 movies , but not all.
I 've been thought about buying a new motherbord + CPU + may be new DDR RAM + video card (but < than 40$... I donot play games and I donot need more).. but I have now another charges and may be can do this only to begin of autumn. :(
If really , I am getting bored to all situation , about my future ... and life at all.
