REALLY? System is still going, nearly 11 years. Great air circulation, since it's a server case. Couldn't be that 800 card had a history of being VERY hot, with inadequate cooling?

I have pretty consistently had software, driver, and hardware issues with ATI cards. I will stay with Nvidia whenever possible, and, even when slower. That said, IIRC, my ATI 800/850 card was replaced, IIRC, 3 or 4 times, free, by ATI. There is something to be said for, if you are buying ATI...

There is something to be said for buying stuff made in Japan. On the otherhand, some of the stuff is being made in China, and then badged.

Looked at X201's at newegg. 1500 is a bit steep, though it does look like a nice small, laptop.

Any suggestions on what is the smallest Thinkpad, and any experience? Recommendations?

HMMMM. Time, first off, scammed usually means you bought the product. Or, perhaps, you might be correct, in that scammed means you spent researching a product, and wasted time due to false advertising. THANK YOU for pointing the misinformation out. More I think about it, the more I'd be...

Law and schools require LOTS of paper. Living with an attorney means you really do need an excellent, high quality printer for home use.

Anyone checked on Price per page? Brothers cartridges still seem expensive. for the Brother HL-5370DW Duplex Wireless Laser Printer...

I'm having a similar experience with a backup I bought for a Panasonic Toughbook. 80 bucks, ebay. claims Li-ion 11.1 V 660mAh/73Wh. It discharges faster then the original Panasonic battery by about 25%, and the original is what, 11 years old??? See how long it lasts. Panasonic batterys were...

Let's see. Samsung 2150 worked great, for 5 years. Replaced one cartridge with refilled, and new chip, and got through that. At the end, messages wrong cartridge, etc. Had to pull the cartridge, replace, and reseat. Trashed it. Not worth repairing. Xerox 130 is still going strong, 11 years old...

For what it's worth, here's my observations. I used David's netbook briefly, with the X-25E in it. Processor WAS the limiting factor, and, I won't be buying a netbook anytime soon. If it was that slow with a very fast SSD in it, well, I've yet to see one I would want, except, perhaps the one...

I'm currently using a 37" Vizio, and a 27" SamsungP2770 from Costco, 300 dollars. I'm going to move the 27" into the living room computer. It's actually too big for my desk, and to see it I have to turn it sideways so I can use then entire 37". I would have a look at this...

Torrents sound like the way to go. No commercials, most of the time in either HD, or close. I have a list of shows, check regularly, and use a separate server box for just that. Then transfer to main machine over network. Torrents go through two different Virus software, and, are the...

UPDATE: I'm watching Miami play Dallas, JLO is singing in PowerDVD 10, I'm ripping my CD's to my hard drive, using EAC, typing this, and I'm using 5% of the processor, and 18% of the RAM??? Super computers are here...

Mystery Surrounds Cyber Missile That Crippled Iran's Nuclear Weapons Ambitions By Ed Barnes Published November 26, 2010 | FoxNews.com AP In the 20th century this would have been a job for James Bond. The mission: Infiltrate the highly advanced, securely guarded enemy headquarters where...

Stereodude and all: Thank you very much for your help. I have EAC and Lame up and working as we speak, and ripping files to .wav and mp3 as we type. I'm taking each CD, ripping it to both file formats. Figure the phone can take nearly 4 days of music, or 5, with the 16 GB MicroSD card. Better...

Hi I realize Microsoft writing software to stop virus' is sort of an oxymoron. That said, is their product as good, or better, then AVAST?

That's great if you have a PCIE slot. This discussion started talking about PCI-X cards, and support for 98/2000. For my two cents, Windows 2000 Pro would be what I would start with, and stay with. 98 was the reason I stayed with Apple for so long.

I suspect 2000 and 98 would be bloody blinding on such a setup, even though it's nowhere near what a new machine would be. I was trying to suggest that the major benefit is going to be access time with the SSD, and with the motherboard you have, the only reason for a raid card would be to...

Don't know your situation down there as far as cost, but, I would REALLY look at this website, for a ballpark figure of what you are running, and, if what you are trying to do might better be accomplished by a motherboard-cpu combo upgrade? http://www.cpubenchmark.net/...

If you'd like to try the 9500S-8, you pay the shipping and I'll send it to you. It did come up with some pretty respectable numbers in tests with large arrays. Let me know.

Vertex Turbo Sata II 30 gig, by OCZ. My array in the server should be faster then it is, and I don't think it's worth the time and effort to add it. Don't use half of the current array anyway.

I've got an extra sitting on my desk, and it's either ebay or try it in a laptop. It's too small to run in the HTPC, old gaming machine, and, to be honest, I didn't notice a big difference between it and the Velociraptor when I had it installed in the Athlon 3000. I've got Kingspec drives that...

I agree, the speeds aren't much for a 3 Vertex Turbo Raid 0. On the otherhand, for an inexpensive upgrade that is useable in the future, the card was not that expensive, and, the access time makes it pretty snappy for server use, and the read times are excellent for that as well. I also wonder...

General surfing, word processing,and a bit of gaming, older games that is. I was looking at the Lenovo T60.

Hi Anyone have any suggestions for a lower priced laptop that would take a Vertex Turbo to work at full speed?

9550SXU four port is what I'm currently running in my server. It's raided 3 Vertex Turbos. Here are my results. Don't know about the Raid-6, or huge drives.

IIRC an 8 port LSI 9500 can be had for around 75 dollars. Each channel is around 60 MB/sec, max, but aggregate, they can turn in some impressive numbers. I might even have one, but it maybe a 4 port. Wasn't fast enough for SSD use...

Because I don't like running programs in emulation? Because I'm afraid I don't have enough processor power to run a 32 bit app in windows 7 - 64 bit;-)?

Because it came with the system? Because it's there? Because on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit it has some kind of cosmic symmetry?

Flash, Adobe Download manager, those are my main concerns. It is bordering on absurd when you go to a webpage with IE 8 64 bit and you can't play the Flash, since Flash Player only works in 32 bit, and, no working Flash plugin is available for IE 8 64 bit. You can't use Firefox, since no...

Took the laptop to my meeting. Used it tethered, from about 6 pm to 8:30pm. With the Pentium M 1.6 GHz rated at 21w by intel, I went through the entire battery in about 2 hours the meeting before. This one, I recalibrated the battery, and, it used about 29% of the battery, using the SSD and the...

Hi I'm really sick of Adobe being 'the' player for web browsers. Even using Fedora, I need an Adobe plug for Flash, or Player stuff. To be honest, I would really like my computers to be Adobe free. I'm sick of the auto up dates, security threats, needing to download a download manager before...

Trying it now. Does seem to load some pages MUCH faster. Is it actually using the IE 8 64 bit code?

I wonder about that. I like your converter idea. While I may not be the typical laptop user, the better, older laptops, Panasonic, IBM,etc. are built very well, and will last a LONG time. An SSD, and all I have to comment on from experience is one good, and one bad Kingspec SSD, for 100 bucks...

How about a decent SSD for PATA laptops etc.? How about ANY decent drives for a PATA laptop?

Too funny not to share! Sometimes it DOES take a Rocket Scientist!! Scientists at NASA built a gun specifically to launch standard 4 pound dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, military jets and the space shuttle, all traveling at maximum velocity. The idea is to simulate the frequent...

I was playing with Fedora 12 on my laptop prior to typing that. Need to distinguish WindowsO2007 vs. Linux OpenOffice 2007?;-) Also keep in mind I revert, after such stuff to the old mac days when Windows and MSFT are dirty words;-) Reminds me when Apple went from 7.5 to 8.0 or some such...

It's not OpenOffice. It's not Office 2000. It's not Google's documents. It's not Office: mac 2011. Handruin: I use IE on rare situations. Usually when the Adobe plug-ins don't work with either Firefox, or IE 64, I find the 32 bit IE will work to play certain content. By default it seems, when...

Hi I just had a fun experience with W02007. I was screwing around installing a ram disk, and put the IE 8 cache folder on the Ram drive. As close as I can tell, WO uses that same folder for storing temp files. The drive filed up, and I was unable to save anything in WO. I had to go into the...

Unless it's an Extreme processor, OCing is going to require putting something other then the cpu out of spec. 3.51Ghz is a pretty serious overclock. I'm not surprised it screwed with the drives, and ram. Also, the ram used in these non-enterprise motherboards seems to be less quality controlled...
