:rofl: :owneddnce: I thought Splash might have done something like that, since he had some absurd number of dual scsi raid 0 workstations, pushing around 80 mb/sec, at the beer factory. :wink: running 24/7 forever. I used to hang out with the Macguru guys, and when scsi 320 came out, they...

With a Megaraid 320-1, using an SCA box, and a single channel? In, a PCI-X slot? Wondering what the limit is, for data transfer in this setup... GS

Darn, M, .... Go for music downloads. In an hour, one high school kid put over 57 spyware programs on my computer.... s

Sorry I. Didn't Gary have something similar??? s

Download the trial of Penicillin, and go bouncing around porn sites, with all no security, any music site, and download Kaaza and all that, and see how you do. S

I want a score card to keep the schtzos straight... :wink: S

What are you using them for, Gary? GS

That's one problem with scsi. You don't have to screw with it very often, so when you do, you feel like a moron, because you can't remember what to do, and, you forgot to write it down... GS

PS: Most bios for scsi raid cards are counterintuitive. This one was SO bad, I actually had to read the instructions... :o gs

Got it up and running, and, you were right. I had to configure the first array, then designate single drives as raid0's, and logical drives, then, they are scene, and booted into in dos/windows. I increased the stripe size to 128 on the boot array, and, the Writes start at 85 mb/sec, and go up...

Well, I tried to update this setup, by adding the 320-1 Lsi raid card. I've reformatted two drives, and I've booted from them, in raid ) configured on the LSI card. However, I can't seem to get the other drives to be readable, and I don't want to reformat. ???? HELP.. GS

I was just having a bit of fun. :wink: I happen to have one of these, http://www.granitedigital.com/images/1394bfwcable9-9pin.gif out of shear stupidity. The external DVD burner I have is USB 2, and the the only firewire to Panasonic firewire end, which is what that is, is a Liteon...

Yawn... Yes, scsi sucks. I'm using a pos adaptec 21010S or some such POS< that maxes out at 80 mb/sec. Dual 15.3's in raid zero, are giving me 50-70 mb/sec range. I was so pissed, I bought the LSI single channel raid card, and it's sitting on my desk. It was 350 bucks. Then, I thought about...

Thanks I just bought a Samsung 2150N, IIRC, for 269. Plus, the guys took 35 dollars off each of two Sony 19" CPD G400 flat screens. Total cost for two 19 inch monitors, 118.00. I think he felt guilty after hosing me on building the last machine... The Samsung has a built in duplexing unit...

THAT SUCKS :excl: YOU NEED SCSI, AND CHEETAHS.... :mrgrn: :excl: :wink: S

Oh, and I forgot to mention, whales can communicate over thousands of miles, with ultra low frequency sounds, we can barely hear. We have to us cell phones. :roll: INFERIOR SPIECES. Quick Cousteau story. A pod of killer whales are having lunch on a whale killed by my favorite folks, the...

Remember, Splash has a MUCH bigger brain to weight ratio then we do, and, if he had hands.... We ARE NOT the most intelligent animals on the planet. Orcas, too, are superior in brain to body size ratio. Thank God they are, or, we would have a lot of dead dolphin and whale trainers... S

Hi I'm starting another school tomorrow, and, I'm NOT going through the printer fiasco I went through at Mission San Jose, having to network print to the library, and, being at the mercy of an Apple printer older then I am, which finally broke, and, for the last couple months, no printer. Since...

I use both. Some of my favorite sites don't work with Firefox 106, but, I only use IE with those, and do the rest of my browsing with Firefox, per Furballs instructions... :mrgrn: :wink: GS

Ferrites??? :?: :skepo: Are those like small, furry animals that Tannin has around the house? :o GS

I forgot to mention the good news is the huge surf seems to have been focused at Alabama, since that's where the 42020 buoy is, with the giant readings. Can't get into NOAA to make sure, however. gs

The antarctic circle is famous for waves with durations measured in minutes, not seconds. One of the problems they have with supertankers is the stern and bow get caught on the peaks of a wave, and the middle part of the tanker, the part over the trough, collapses, due to it's own weight...

Well, I went with a VIA Kingwin two port for the Dell, and it's giving 3mb/sec writes, 11 mb/sec reads. Good enough. I don't really like front USB stuff, since it's always getting in the way of the CD/DVD trays opening. Annoying. I haven't figured out what I'm going to use for the Server...

It's a big deal because of how it's going to affect gas prices, since 25% of our oil and gas comes out, and is refined, in the gulf. Also, 40 foot buoy reports mean that is the average of the largest third of the waves. So, it's entirely possible to have waves double that height in the storm...

I can't get through to NOAA. If you can, please post the buoy reports. Thanks gs

Just found out that area produces 3.7 million barrels of oil a day, and, there are near 20 refineries in the area, that make gas out of that oil... gs

OH MY GOD! WATCH THIS!!! http://www.quehubo.com/eng/katrina_gallery.php gs

NO is completely screwed I was a little hazy on my geography, but Katrina's eye is passing OVER New Orleans. God help all those people... GS

Just got up. Can't get the buoy reading, but, this looks like New Orleans is getting the eye of the storm.. God help us all. Gs

JUST HIT 38 FEET ON THE ALABAMA BUOY. SAY GOOD BYE TO LOUISIANA, AS WE KNOW IT... :eekers: :cry: GS

I think it's a million gallons a day. :eekers: Greg

That's no joke Mark. The rigs weren't designed for giant, Hawaii sized waves, and what is it called, force 3 tornados??? :eekers: Greg

Oh MY F...G GOD :excl: :excl: :excl: :excl: :eekers: THE BUOYS HIT 32 FEET. THAT'S THE SIZE OF THE BIGGEST WAVES EVER SURFED. THIS IS APPROACHING THE PERFECT STORM, BUT IT WENT 51 FEET, AND THEN THE BUOYS GOT PULLED UP...

Just finished stage two on this setup. I installed an Adaptec 2906, and a Plextor SCSI DVD, along with a Plextor CDwriter/reader. I can now play a DVD, type on the second monitor, and stay around 48-70% of the processor. I also installd a USB 2.0 card, Kingwin, two port, 15 dollars, so in a...

This thing is very serious. The ocean buoys are showing waves the size of giant Hawaiian surf. SOLID 20 FEET. What Louisiana? GS

One cure for a bad temper is to carry a gun. I've found you learn to really be selective about ever using it, and, this carries over to your real life. Do I really want to get into a fight that could land me in jail, over some guy yelling at me, and thinking I cut in front of him in a line, at...

Ouch!!! My shoulder hurts thinking about that group. What's your favorite? Still use the rifles? Is the 416 a rigby or remmington, and who made the rifles? I target shoot, but, that's about it. I've shot a few things, all vermin, and I just don't much like killing ANIMALS. I guess I don't...

http://www.extremescience.com/orcavshark.htm Amazing, first ever footage, of a killer whale and a great white, going at it. Greg

Will: For your machine, it doesnt' make sense, since the upgrade path is only twice your current processor, if you spend 200 bucks. For me, a Celeron is considerably faster then the P2, and, it's a 3x clock speed increase. You can notice that, and, it was only 120 bucks. So far, so good. If...

Tannin: Sempron 3100's cost 90 dollars here. Motherboard is 30 dollars you use with it? The alternative is P160 case 120 dollars, still haven't found a cheap box in this area that's quiet. Gigabyte motherboard I have. Processor 90 Power Supply 80 Ram 85 dollars DVD player we have, switch...

Hi I've really got to link to this description of a hunt, in Africa. The writing is brilliant, vivid, and, my favorite part is the hunters don't kill anything. I would love to go to Africa, just to witness something half this amazing. Sincerely Greg...

Mark: The irony of the Dell is it's the SO's, and she loves it. The Quantum LM STILL is one of the faster hard drives around, access time wise, and she loves it, for ATA. Don't remind me about the Dell channels only being able to use one device, per channel... She's getting used to the two...

While I'll never buy another, I don't think, anyway, that BX based Dell has been a really good computer, as it should have for it's 3000 dollar price tag at the time. Wasn't a bad move the first time, going from macs to PC's, when 98 was the prevalent operating system. Course it did have two...

I just checked Dell, and I could have picked up a 2.4 ghz entire new machine for 329.00. :wink: G

Hi I need a usb 2.0 card for a pci slot. I also need a USB 2.0 long cable, and ports that go connect to the Supermicro motherboard. I had one, but the cable was too short for my box. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for value, 6 ports are good, and 2000 and XP compatibility...

Runs Windows media player now at about 1/4 processor. Prior, it was 100%. G

I know. I was thinking the same thing. However, the Dell is "the girl's computer" in the house, and, it's got a 440BX chipset motherboard, Quantum LM that is going on 5-6 years old, Matrox P 550, it's quiet, my girlfriend REALLY likes it, and, I just realized the Windows 2000 install is about 4...
