The Canadian, Australian, & to a lesser extent American Laws of Highways, are all originally based on British Common Law. If you go back to the earliest cases in British common law, you will find the reasoning, that the laws are based on. In arriving at his decision Judge Zelling of the Supreme Court of the State of South Australia, cited Judge Douglas of the Supreme Court of Queensland, and also Lord Simonds, in London & Northeastern Railway v Berriman, (a British Law Lords case); and Lord Diplock in Sweet v Parsley, (another British Law Lords case.) there are some very high decisions out there either on, or relevent to, parking law, if you know where to look. As for the case you mentioned, the crown could easily win that on appeal if they chose to take the trouble, and bear the expense.

Well Australian Law is basically overlapping legislation, one law says you must give way to your immediate right (this conflicts with traffic signals @ times) ;)

The Law is an A$$ :P

After some extensive studying of my SS7 pcb's & web research... I have @ last discovered the identity of the timing chip on these particular SS7 m/boards... the chip is identified with the ICS logo, and my guess was correct, that being the IC is located in close proximity to the reference crystal (see picture below) just near the RAM slots.

According to the manufacturer Intergated Circuit Systems, your ALi V chipset timing IC variant has the identification code ICS9148-75 full specifications @ timing IC ;)

Sorry I would have posted this earlier... but my time lately has been devoted to a Linux 'smoothwall' project ;)

"K, What about the PLL and the timing chip? I know how to spot the PLL; but not the timing chip. Thanks."

Perhaps a better term here would have been "clock generator" chip.

Not much to cool here IMO, though you surely want a stable clock reference.

Note that you can also change the reference crystal (14.318 MHz is stock), which will affect all clocks on the motherboard, as another means of overclocking...or fine tuning...since all XTAL's oscillate at slightly different frequencies... ;)

Yeah, I know about changing the reference crystal... I did it on an M571 50-83Mhz fsb, strangely enough.... I couldn't detect any difference with the usual suite of CPU id tools including Sandra & Everest, for the record I was using a 16Mhz crystal ;)

Perhaps the m/board didn't feel any different? :lol:


As for the question of heat being created by the clockgenerator IC (timing chip)...

I put heatsinks on everything on this board too, the ICS clockgen (which gets quite hot actually), the chipset, and the voltage regulators.

ROFL@ "Dumpster Diving" :lol:

Hey, that's what I do outside the IT department @ work lol :D

Over the years I scored myself an ATX case, A PII-400 + mobo, soundcards, network cards, CDROMs etc

Damn, I thought I was the only one! 8)

p.s. Nice history lesson above - I'm from South Australia and i didn't even know who "Judge Zelling" is :lol:

ROFL? - sorry not good at that - Ah! - got it now - Rolling on the floor laughing. History Lesson? Hey man, that case is the law there. What happened was the "Crown" tried to abbrogate the (200 year old - goes back to horse and cart days) right of motorists to briefly leave a vehicle unattended while "Unloading" - (performing a delivery). (Applies equally to a housewife unloading groceries)

This right exists in law throughout the English speaking world; but is under assault in all countries. What is happening is that municipal authorities, want the right to "TAX" deliveries by issuing parking tickets to delivery vehicles so as to raise revenue to pay their $50,000 - $100,000 a year police, politicians, etc and still have money to waste on tours of cathouses abroad etc. This by picking the pockets of the working poor; and the average jack and jill. Zelling shot the Crown down in flames. &BTW, nice diving, gold medal stuff that.

:eek I am just in awe of the way you re-invent and use the hardware to make very capable and sophiticated machines. Don't interpret this is in any sarcastic way. You attention to detail and obssesive behavior with AT cases deserve praise. Those seem like awsome PC's.

@ KGB : See you have been around here longer than I have. You should post more often, because I find your remarks quite discerning. :D Thanks for the complements; much appreciated. "Q" : "Inflating bicycle tires for garbage night" ?

Ohh heh, the bike remark is an homage to anyone who rolls out there bikes on garbage night to go "dumpster diving" An act I can proudly say has accumulated me with great wealth of knowledge about pc's.

Except Macs, I seldomnly see Macs on the street (people must have burned them in their back yard) after thinking about the amount of money they spent paying for it, which should have been burnt anyway ;)

It's hard to envisage anybody paying the over inflated price for a Mac in the first place... but anywho people do it I suppose :shock:

LMAO :lol: Jim has turned 'dumpster diving' into an art form... we may even see it introduced @ the next Olympic games? :lol:

Keep those Super Puppies a'coming, oh and the screen shots too! :D

I snagged a P3 733 and P4 2.0 systen with all functioning components in my time. Do I get the Gold :?:

Nope, just silver. For GOLD you have to find a high end AMD. (I was being hasty w/ chips, should have just given him a blue ribbon.) --(That was a joke)-- If you scored a P4 you are doing excellently.
