Hi I just upgraded to 10 MB/sec internet from astound. First off, all they did to do that was flash the router from the office, and it's working right around 10 MB/sec. Now this is the part I don't get. Using a Linksys Cisco-Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router. It's supposed to be 54...

Hi Does anyone have a food, or waterproof keyboard they use and like? Thanks GS

Does bring up a question. What keyboards for home use are spill proof, waterproof, food proof?

Thanks Merc. Last time I talked to her she was in LA, working as a sports medicine therapist. She fell in love with a playboy photographer. She married him, and went to the Caribbean for a shoot. When she came home, somewhere in the midwest, the guy had changed the locks, and moved all her...

New benchmark for SSD. Small foot print, no junk added:

If Angelina Jolie, and Diane Hsu were on bikes, in similar out fits, NO ONE would look at AJ>...

For what it's worth: Hitting a bag dictates the wrist is flattened. In other words, to avoid harm to the wrist etc. the top of the hand has to be flat. We used to tape a ruler on the wrist, and align the rest of the hand with the wrist. This is an excellent guideline to protect your wrists...

My fondest memory, that I can put in print, are walking into a local gym in Santa Cruz in the early 80's, with my trainer/sifu/boss Charles Halliday, and Mike Dixon, at the time, the number one heavyweight Olympic boxer in the world. We walked down a narrow hall way, to get to the weight room...

I have big hands, so I buy big mouses. I also use a wrist rest maybe 3/4" thick, and that seems to really help. I'm currently using a Gigabyte GM 8000, with all the weight in it, and a Razor Deathadder. Both are large, pretty much as big as I could find. I find the wrist starts being bothered...

64 bit cell phones;-0? Out of kindness to my upstairs neighbor, who gets up and goes to work at 4 am every morning, I often use the server with headphones to watch stuff. It doesn't work with PowerDVD 8, but, with Media Player classic it works great to play TV shows, etc. Movies are generally...

The drive is in my server, which has 2 gigs of ram, and, to add 2 more was 150 bucks, last time I checked. Not sure how well Windows 7 32 bit would address 4 gigs of ram anyway. I used IE as a benchmark, pretty much that's it. RAM usage on the server is pretty consistent, minimum 30%, and, with...

So far, running 8 gigs of ReadyBoost, and making that drive the scratch drive for Photoshop. For some reason, apps seem to open very quickly, Photoshop in particular. Photoshop 7 in 9 seconds. MSFT Word 2000, under 2 seconds. Internet Explorer 32 bit 3 seconds.

Final testing use Here is a test of the twin boot Turbos: Here is the blank, replacement Turbo: The drives are running on a PCI-X AMCC 3 Ware 9550SX/9590SE SATA Raid Controller. ReadyBoost for this drive?

4-4 arrived at 9:03 am. Formatted through the toaster. This drive appears unused, no crossed out serial number on the box, doesn't appear to be worn around the connectors at all. SN is 0140411-3000067 PN OCZSSD2-1VTXT30G OCZSSD2-1VTXT30G However, the connectors aren't bright copper, but...

They knew it was you Merc, and, figured they needed some good press on the website;-)

drive showed up as dead on my controller card, where it had been fine before. Better to RMA the drive, or so far, maybe not;-( Anyway, the replacement drive wasn't formatted, so should be zeroed when formatted, if a long format is used.?

OK: So a pagefile of let's say 1 gig, on a 30 gig blank drive, would be distributed over the drive, as the wear indicates, not just in a 1 gig space. The problem I had with the OCZ drive was once it was pulled from the array, and put in the beast, it showed up as 128 gigs, even though it was 30...

"Food: - 6,16% : Fortron Blue Storm Bronze 500 - 6.16%: Fortron Blue Storm 500 Bronze - 2,63% : HIPER New S S625 - 2.63%: HIPER New S S625 - 2,26% : Antec EarthWatts EA650 - 2.26%: Antec EarthWatts EA650 " Hmmm. Perhaps this article is computer generated? Hal lives?;-)

Page file on SSD? If so, how big? Raid stops trim? Hi Couple questions. If you get a RMA'd OCZ Vertex Turbo, that you now have little use for, and, you wanted to set it up as a page file drive, how big would you make the page file to avoid writing to the same area over and over? Second: Is it...

Yesterday was Tuesday.

I called this morning, and, they emailed me the prepaid shipping label. It's on the package, and, going out today.

The RMA posted 4 days ago. STILL haven't got the shipping label emailed. What's the cheapest way to ship a drive that size, with delivery confirmation? Post office fixed rate box, 5 bucks? Throw it in an envelope, and send it?

Sunday and no emailed UPS label.

I maybe adding OCZ to this list;-(

Works for me;-)

torrents. 31 fights of Manny, and the complete Mike Tyson.

Might be something like come out with a quality product, low profit margin. Get customer acceptance, and following, then follow with a cheaper, higher profit item, at near the same price? Just guessing...

Moderator around? I think we should change the title;-) No response so far today.

3 PM, no response. Going to work. Looks like the first day of waiting.

HMMM. I'm using two Vertex Turbo's on the 9550 with no problems, in Raid 0, and, prior to that, was running 3 in Raid 0. I'd test each drive. Sounds like one of them is not working. The vertex turbo that went bad was seen by 7 Ultimate, but would not format. Try different cables, and try them...

It rained pretty much all last week. LaCrosse you ref in the rain. Baseball you get canceled, and don't get paid. It's raining, pretty much non-stop, all this week, maybe clearing Sunday. This week is all Lacrosse, with me canceling the baseball to do basketball Saturday, and, hoping it clears...

Yes. I'm kind of curious. For a server, isn't the load usually very heavily in favor of Reads? Also, keep in mind that Crystal Disk Mark has a bit of variation from version to version. The last test was done with 29% full drive, vs. 49% for the first test.? So, perhaps it does read faster the...

I've been watching a bunch of Tyson's old fights. When you see them one after the other, at least the early ones, and your an old fight fan/boxer, it brings up the following conclusions, at least for me: Cus DeAmato kept Tyson in shape. When he would bob and weave, and throw combinations, he...

My observations: First Crystal bench mark, on newly installed array last year: Here is a test ran today: Comments? Conclusions?

The plastic around this SATA connector is so old or worn that it would not hold a Sata cable in place, and broke off. I've created ANOTHER RMA, SENT IN THIS MORNING. So, we'll see if Merc's right about the slow email reply. I also asked them to pay for shipping. GS PS The drive worked fine in...

I opened the box and noticed the serial number is similar to the one I sent in, and, this ones serial number has been written over on both box and drive. It appears the drive has been 'recertified', and is not new. The model number is the same as the one I sent in. Guess I better plug it in...

Merc: What RMA center did you decide to deal with, Hong Kong>;-)?

I just checked the packing slip and box. OCZ got the drive the 18th, and shipped an RMA the next day, via FEDIPD, whatever that is. It took Fedex till the 22nd to deliver. So the drive arrived the 18th, replacement shipped the 19th, and Fedex took Monday, one business day, to get it to me this...

I was lucky the whole way around UPS was closed, and the guy just happened to be at the back of the store, and was nice enough to take it. I've NEVER had anything get to the destination in less then one day. It was on the truck at 8PM, and arrived the next afternoon. It might be that the only...

"So you're saying that we should worry about our PCs turning into rubber or catching fire and flying around the room?" Considering what just happened in Japan, that is no longer funny, and, in some places, my guess is that's exactly what happened. "I notice you managed to acknowledge her skill...

Good link, and post. Thanks. The page listing Power supplies under the heading, "food" certainly gave me pause, and wondered who, or what wrote the article;0

DD: How many OCZ Vertex Turbos have you used, with what failure rate? I really see only one drive for this sort of thing. That would be the Intel X-25M. Not even SP1 messed them up;-). Two 160 gig X-25M's still going strong, in Raid 0, using onboard Gigabyte GA 58 onboard Raid 0.

Hi I sent my drive out Wednesday last week. Met a UPS driver outside a store in Pleasant Hill at about 8 PM. He took, and scanned the package. It was delivered to OCZ's RMA location in Silicon Valley the NEXT day, that would be Thursday, by order confirmation. This morning, Tuesday, two...
