I find it somewhat irritating that I had to find out in an X1000 forum topic that a new PlayCD option enables playback through AHI instead of the old method of sending the audio directly from a CDROM drive to a motherboard or soundcard through a wired connection. I've suffered through several unnes...

I've given some thought into replacing the existing heatsink & fan for something quieter. Take note, with a memory stick on both sides of the cpu, you only have 3" of space to work for a replacement or a bit less. Cuts down on what can be installed. You don't need to replace the heat-sink;...

I am all for pure quiet computing experiences. Love my old G4 Cube, even love how quiet my Mac Mini 2010 model is, dead silent. I would sure digg a silent X1000. Saw this fan today and thought it was mighty cool looking. Would love this silence on a X1000. tj http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bN_i0I-k_mg/T...

Question: Given that an interrupt occur; Are there any risk that running tasks aren't "set on hold" fast enough (a kind of delay)? No. When an interrupt occurs, any task that is running is immediately interrupted by the CPU. That's how the CPU is designed. The only thing that could delay ...

@jostein_aarbakk @Hans: Thanks for your feedback. Regarding CPU-hogging: - Only Limpid clock and CPUInfo were running in the background. - Low CPU usage: CPUInfo showed an idle CPU usage during all my tests of only 3-5%. - Switching off 3D effects seemed to help a bit, but it might be a coincidence....

@Hans: Hello again, Just a status: I am happy to announce that after "playing" some more with my code, I have gotten the program to scroll smoothly 95% of the time during a 10 sec period, and sometimes 100%. Much better than before. Solution: To synchronize the changeScreenBuffer()-call, ...

Can the HDMI port on the stock X1000 Video Card be used to send video to a HDMI monitor? Is there any benefit of doing this over the DVI port has to offer? HDMI is basically DVI with (optional) added audio data using a different connector.** You can connect to an HDMI monitor using a DVI to HDMI ad...

Did it make it quieter?

I'd have to open the case to check which one, as I cannot remember. This is more a case of me installing something "because it's there" than for any specific goal.

I see in my Fractal box of screws and doodads there appears a rotary switch, my guess to control fan speed. Anyone using this with X1000? Just curious if it actually wires up to manually slow or speed-up the main fan or not. I have it wired up to one of the fans in my system, and I can adjust the f...

... So; I suspect WaitTOF() isn't precise enough. It is precise enough if interrupts are switched on. Check your monitor tooltypes, and make sure that INTERRUPT=Yes is set. Are you sure that you are catching the VBL interrupt? I don't think that you even have access to the information required to k...
