Re: Newer stuff that isn't better
There is a lot of stuff that won't run on 2k3 just because. If anything this experience has taught me to hack apart installers. Only a few things actually REQUIRE 7 and its because new functions are missing from the 2k3 kernel. I.e. I got AE CS5 running on server 2k3. Got a patched EXE and it fires right up. Lightroom 4 tries to use a nonexistent API right at the start and throws up an error.
I don't think its as much microsoft won't let them certify it as they don't actually want to develop consumer technologies for...

Re: AMD AM2 motherboards Ram Shorted
Not ALL of them. I should hit that board next when I find the CPU. But why would caps appear shorted and have 0 ESR and then be fine out of circuit?
I fixed the HP board because another suspect cap appeared open in circuit then puffed up during testing.

Re: AMD AM2 motherboards Ram Shorted
I got the second board working... I changed 2 caps near the 5v to 3.3v regulator. It still looks shorted tho... but system works. I don't get it.

AMD AM2 motherboards Ram Shorted
I have 2 AMD AM2 motherboards that have been confusing the heck out of me. In both something is shorted in the ram section. I checked out the mosfets and the caps but short remains.
One is a TA790GXB... capacitor went out near the ram and I replaced it. Worked fine for a little bit and then poof. Cap appears fine, I changed a few others but no dice. Also changed 2 mosfets but issue remains.
The other is a M2RS485-BTX.. no obvious caps but short throughout 5v. Caps in almost the same spot as the TA790 are shorted as are mosfets in the same section but the component...

Re: Sure way to tell when chipset (or any other BGA chip for that matter) is burnt on
Scope... some boards have pads near the chip. See if voltage is going into it.

Re: Software Network traffic monitor
Comodo went the way of spyware, can't trust them. I think avira too.

Re: Software Network traffic monitor
IPtables works when you set up all individual rules there is nothing dynamic about it. I don't know whats going to be connecting out and I'm not going to sit there and edit a text file to get it working or block it.
There is no firewall in linux that audits outbound connections and lets you set rules dynamically like in windows.
Furthermore there is this attitude in the community that something like that is "windows" or stupid. This applies fine to CLI servers but NOT to client machines. Right now linux doesn't...

Re: Software Network traffic monitor
Eset smart security... the firewall is tops. Also I used to use outpost pro but it got unstable and I switched.
Now find me a outbound firewall for linux...

Re: Why Ubuntu and Windows 8 do/will fail.
Its all part of the dumbening. The race to turn computers into a prole consumption device.
Ubuntu, Windows 8, OSx will all be walled gardens if the current crop of "designers" have their way.

Re: Reballing does NOT mean it'll last long!
NV-8400 is a dog. I think there is something internally wrong with those chips besides the BGA. Other reflowed stuff lasts longer in my experience.

See how hot the chips get. Maybe its perfect b/c of overrating.
