Last time I tried it, Quake 3 wouldn't play, so it's possible you are correct. However, I'm still running a LOT of old software, so you may not be, and, I'm not deleting my entire install see if you are right. Again: WHAT does changing drive letters have to do with anything? I've often changed...

SAM: What does changing a drive letter have to do with the size, or kind of your boot drive? Again: Old software, no drive install option then C. I see the pricing stuff, but, with a few exceptions, it seems the companies are using the 'Intel cutting edge price premium theory' for the larger...

Well, I was tempted by the Samsungs, but, went with a Seagate 1.5 TB for about 120, with shipping. Hopefully it will work, and, if not, I've had good luck with Seagate returns. I guess some of the stuff I use is old, and, doesn't give you a drive install option. I have no intention of...

I've NEVER had a mail-in rebate worth anything come back. So for me, I'd be looking at that plan as 1550 for two years. NOT such a great deal. I also like the touch screens, but, I've never really been able to email, or check email on my phone, so I'm not sure the hard keyboard is bad or good...

I'm using gmail, and, I would like to be able to sync the phone with Outlook. This time of year, I'm getting calls all the time from cells to mine, not knowing what plan they have. Thanks for the information about Sprint.

Both of my work situations are evolving. They use email to assign and offer jobs, and, for emergencies, they email as well, only using a phone when desperate. So, it comes down to email is vital on the phone. Here's what I've got so far. Played with a Samsung Inspirion, actually hooked up...

Wonder how fast SSD's are going to progress, and, what the speeds are going to be???? Not to mention when are they going to drop in price....

I guess I'm not being clear. What SATA drives have our experts used here, and had excellent results with? I'm after feedback on a large number of drives, since I don't handle that many. I'm after a 640 gig or bigger drive. With my current gaming, I need about 150 gigs or better for a boot...

I paid twice that for the MSFT ones from Costco, and, had nothing but problems with them. Lag, sleeping, etc. At least I could return them..

I have the above as well, thanks to the folks here, for HTPC. Works fine, but, I don't use it a lot. I've always bought wireless MSFT stuff at Costco, felt violated by the price, and, returned about 3 of them for full refunds. They SUCKED. Lags, limited range, just garbage overall.

You should have let me know. I would have changed my name, and, I'm already non-profit... ;0 Certain programs want to write large video files to C drive. I did do a work around, but, as David says, it's a pain. Just think mulitple high speed downloads that reserve large amounts of disk space...

Very funny. I'm finding I need a bigger boot drive then 80 gigs. 300 would be good... Haven't been watching SAS card and cable costs. Let's see: Merc suggests a drive that's 80 gigs for 409 dollars. That's half the size I would like for a boot drive.

I was wondering how much ram, configuration, etc.??? Which video card from ATI David is using, etc...

Hi I was looking at some of the drives with 2ms access times, and, 15K from Fuji. Anyone worked with SAS, expense, cards, cables, experience?

CAN WE GET SOME REPORTS ON WHAT WORKS, AND, WHAT HAPPENED?????

Computer is in the same room with her water and litter pan. She won't drink out of anything but a running faucet, so the bathroom is on slow drip all the time, and, the litter box is in there. IT IS HER HOUSE. Now, if she would just pay her rent... Guess she took that part over from my...

TO CLARIFY THE RELATIONSHIP: DOGS HAVE OWNERS. CATS HAVE STAFF.

The cat is half feral, 14 pounds, and, she likes to sleep behind the server. The power supply and video, combined with a squirrel exit fan make a nice heater. I'd pushed it under the desk, not giving her enough room. So, as she stretched, she hit the power button, right in the middle of the...

My cat just shut down my server/workstation by hitting the rocker switch on my power supply....

HTC looks REALLY nice. Somehow carrying around a phone that costs more then my car isn't getting me going. I've never had anyone steal my phone, but , doing basketball games, I set my phone down on the scorers table. I can see a 600 dollar phone disappearing REAL easy. Looks like I'm staying...

Merc: Any suggestions for phones using Windows Mobile?

More price checks. Costco will GIVE you a Blackberry. Only catch is you have to pay 30 a month, for 2 years, for the data plan, so, that's really 720 bucks for service and phone. I KNOW if I buy something like that, it will be half price within 6 months... Friend paid 50 for a blackberry...

Well, the monitor was REAL pink. I took the Sony in the other room, plugged it in to the Nvidia 9600 on the other computer, and it's working fine, so far. I'm currently using two Samsung 2233's, hooked up to an ATI 1650. Weird thing is, the second monitor is displaying pretty well, at 1920 X...

Google phone from T mobile, anyone?

Thanks. I'm going to give their ripper a try. I'm still using RipIt4me...

Hi I was considering setting up a Raid 0 X-25M in a PCI-X 1x 64-bit 133/100/66MHz PCI-X (3.3V) slot. Probably 4 drives, eventually. Any suggestions?

Where's the popcorn icon when I need it???? Merc: What board are you using? David, what are you considering?

Current usage: Half way through the month: 257 of 450 used Nights and weekends 116 of 5000 Rollover 0 of 2170. This on a AT&% 450 Rollover. Apparently the data plan is 15 a month. The rollover works for me, since Verizon was the same cost, with no rollover, and some months I went over the 350...

Nice systems. Buck, I really liked the one you setup for 1500 dollars on your website. REALLY wondering why 3 SSD's are the sweet spot on these systems. My experience has been either two or four drives for Raid 0. Guess the SSD's are a bit different? Also, are you using an actual raid card, or...

"# No user-swappable battery. Batteries fail and it's ludicrous to have to visit a service center a.k.a. Apple store or ship your phone somewhere to get a battery replaced. And it costs $79 when other phones like the Pre have user-replaceable batteries for around $40. # Apple's capricious...

Pricing Sprint AIRAVE Base Station - $99.99/each (requires activation at time of purchase and subscription to an AIRAVE plan. Excludes taxes.) AIRAVE Enhanced Coverage Charge - $4.99/mo. (required per AIRAVE unit)** Single Line Unlimited Calling Plan (optional) - $10/mo. per account** Multi-Line...

Hadn't realized the Palm Pre and Sprint package came in at a reasonable price. AT&T, through Costco, offers data for 20 bucks a month, plus the phone. They kind of screw existing customers, not giving a big rebate on the phone, at least not as big as to switchers. I think I'll check with Costco...

Hi I'm considering a Samsung Insprion, or , shudder, was looking at an iPhone. What are you all using for phones, phone plans, and why? My considerations are a larger screen then my current Samsung, and, I'm really debating going for the whole internet on my phone for 20 bucks extra deal...

The following IP's have been blocked by Peer Guardian 2. I'm wondering WHY these folks are sending out stuff in the first place? Anyone know why they would be trying to acess my computer? 2009-10-03 20:04:02;AT&T Global Network Services;192.168.1.100:50000;32.138.106.53:37045;UDP;Blocked...

Thanks for the antenna web link. It verified what I had found before: We had one, small analog 28 station in range prior to the change, and, with Digital, we now have 6 signals possible. Monitor wise, I'm waiting. My 19" is in and out, and, I'll wait until it dies, or, I see a really great...

I see one reason is to close a particular port when your done using it, so you secure your computer, and, it's slightly easier then using the hardware router...

You bring up some good points. The issue is once you get used to having two monitors, it is not fun going back to one. Rabbit ears for HD? I do know we got no reception with the old type of signal, actually 3, fuzzy channels. Has HD changed the signal type, making it stronger, and, making free...

Pradeep: Why get the tuner? I'm not a cable TV guy. I only watch shows off Hulu, and, a few others. Last time we tried it, I got cable for the Olympics. I watched a boxing tape that was about 90 minutes, and, they put enough adds into it to make it run 3 plus hours. I figure they should pay ME...

If you have a firewall setup through your router, is there any reason to run windows firewall?

It's actually really easy to change the IP address. Get into the router settings, change the MAC address, and you change the IP.

Hi Has anyone used the HannsG monitors? Software any good? Similar to Samsung? http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11236988&whse=BC&topnav=&browse=&lang=en-US My Sony 19" is finally going pink... Any suggestions? It's either that, or the Samsung 24" for 199 is looking good, and...

I found the initial Beta of 7 to be real snappy. The next one was slower. Might this be the reason for a different perception of speed? I don't see much reason to switch from XP Pro, or 2003. I'm sure MSFT will come up with something that will force me to move to 7, probably internet related...

Well, does it work???

The perfect page file drive? Can you use the memory as a page file?

So, the company that owns, pretty much, the SSD market, is going to and undercut a highly profitable product they produce????:confused: What also kills me is why it's so cheap to put on a motherboard, yet so expensive to have in an SSD drive... Also, some of the other articles point out that...

Didn't one of the links go to a test site on SSD's that agrees with you, but, has some sort of testing tool that they are sold on?

Udaman: I did all the stuff you are talking about. What it came down to in the end was guys that made the market fluctuate by dumping large amounts of money into companies. The best way for them to maximize profit is to look for some company that looks good on paper, but, has an undervalued...

Hi Anyone using, or tried this stuff? Comments? Good, bad, and the Ugly? Thanks GS
