Hi Anyone know what kind of motherboards Dell is using in it's workstation Xeon machines, and it's P4 based systems? Thanks Greg

Thanks. Not yet, I guess... s

Hi Anyone gone over and tried the above? Worth the money, etc? Thanks Greg

So, to get 3 GB a sec solid state harddrives are just over the horizon? Thanks Gary

1.01 snaps. Feels like it's in ram the entire time... s

Could well be...more research. Neck! s

If I have an 8X AGP slot, am I going to really benefit from a card for the PCI-x slot listed above? In other words, are the cards really outstripping the 8X AGP slot, enough to use a PCI-X slot? How much data are the cards using? What's the limit for data transfer on a 8X agp slot, vs. a...

anyone know if the Radeon X850 Pro will run in a PCI-X • 1x 64-bit 133/100/66MHz PCI-X (3.3V) slot? Thanks gs

Way to play the movies off the computer, to either a Monitor, or HDTV, or both? s

Hi guys: I've been thinking about upgrading the Home Theater and I've been kicking around trying to figure out a way to go HDTV, along with using a computer, maybe with backplane setup, to store movies, etc. that I record off the HDTV. Any suggestions on this? Computer stats, cards to use...

UCSF is one of the top surgical centers, brain surgery in particular. Charles Wilson heads one team, and saved my mother's life. Sort of a nice area, but very expensive to stay. However, it is easy weekend driving to Monterey. David: If you nees someone to house sit, I might be willing to...

Looks like someone with a private message was pulling my leg. :mrgrn:

Supermicro X5DA8. http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/E7505/X5DA8.cfm Is that left to right? s

I accept the nomination, and, I'm honored. Greg

Well, my bios doesn't seem to be that detailed. Anyway, I did change the settings, but, I think it's an id conflict. Does anyone have handy the Gem 318 Manual, or where on Supermicros site it might be? I've been looking all over, and can't find it. Thanks Greg

That should have been: "How do you set the SCA box to the higher scsi ids?" s

Hi guys: The school district has given me that wonderful teaching machine, the Imac. I can't stand it. David, anyone, how would you configure, or buy, a cheap, gaming machine, for my kids at school? If anyone wants to dump one, cheap in The People's Republic of Kalifornia, northern area, let...

Could also be SCSI ID conflicts. My raid is on the same controllers, and they are drives 1-4. How do you set the range to the higher range? Thanks s

Thanks Gary: Formating questions: Should I assign a drive letter to the drive, prior to putting it in the SCA Box? I still can't seem to get the machine too boot with the formatted drive in place. Doing a dynamic disk with one of the drives, to see if that helps. Part of the problem is not...

Hi this is RRonald777, im using my teachers name to post for this subject. I was wondering how I can get a webpage I designed on frontpage 2003 to a website/address for free or little cost? I already have a .tk address and a freewebs page but, how can I make my site appear on the .tk site? Thanks.

Thanks. It's assigning range 1-6. I'll pull the jumpers. I can't get the machine up with the drives installed, to format(suspect the machine is assigning C drive, and trying to boot from that:same thing happens when I try and boot with my flash memory card installed). If I format the drives...

MEOW!!! S :mrgrn:

Keep in mind, that the original install was a FUBAR, and the raid is assigned I drive, so, everytime a drive is installed, on boot, it's assigned c, and fails to boot. This includes a removeable drive, like a Flashdrive... s

Hi How do you do this? I have 2 drives I'm trying to install, and, I think they need to be formatted. They pretty much freeze the computer. The SCSI id range is 1, 6. I assigned them, 4 and 5. Still no joy. On boot, nothing. I thought the SCA box assigned the scsi id numbers in the...

Gary: Using the adaptec 21010S, what's the top transfer rate you've got with it? I think it maybe the slow spot in my raid. I'll test raiding two of the 320 15.3's to see if I can get over 80 mb/sec, unless you know for sure. Thanks s

Thanks: Just got a great deal on two 146 gig 10K cheetahs, for storage. 209 each, refurb. Also 3 15.3 36 gig for 85 each. Should do me for quite awhile. Groltz: I've actually got an extra 15.3 sitting in a box. Could use the cable, and card, and terminator, and maybe the drive, if the...

Hi I'm thinking of booting from a single 15k Cheetah, 80 SCA. Anyone have a preference for either cheetah? s

ROFL! Been a bit busy. Working on a few other things. s

My end result has been the bios has needed little or no updating. Unlike Asus, which seemed to release a new bios about 4 times after the board is released, to just get all the features to work properly. I always suspected Asus figured the consumers are their R&D department. s

(alt+p)

I've used these with great luck: http://www.casecooler.com/blaculhardri.html Used to be 50 dollars. Supermicro cases are the best solution, I think. s

Would a dual xeon 2.8 ghz be of help? How do I do this? s

I think I actually have one of those, somewhere: :mrgrn: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/E7505/X5DA8.cfm PCI Expansion • 1x 64-bit 133/100/66MHz PCI-X (3.3V) slot • 2x 64-bit 100/66MHz PCI-X (3.3V) slots • 2x 32-bit 33MHz PCI-X (5V) slots :mrgrn: ATTO UL3D, 2906...

I turned the cup over. Rather then looking at recreating a favorites list, and book marking stuff as a pain, I view it as a joy. Just little things like all your bookmarks being in an import folder rather then on the main menu. However, I'm rebuilding a shorter list. s

Email is my major problem. I'm trying to get used to Firefox, but it just seems to take 3 clicks, or moves, to do what I could do with one on IE. I'll keep the email on the mac, even if it's a pain, I think. s

Working with Win DVD Creator 2 right now. Converting some of my old fight tapes to DVD. I was going to post how it didn't use much of the processors, but, you guys were right. Right now, as it's doing the creating, it's using a steady 55-65% of all four virtual processors. Looks like a leave...

Hi I'm getting ready to reconfigure my computer and here is my problem: I don't know which array would be better for speed. I've got 4 15.3's that I boot from using the Adaptec 21010S card, that raids the two 320 motherboard slots. Also attached to that is a 5 drive SCA box, currently without...

Everytime I try and run one of those browsers it doesn't do something, or conflicts with something, that IE doesn't. Last night I was browsing with the new firefox, and it froze while I was using WinDVD creator 2. IE doesn't do that. s

525, plus processor, plus ram, plus harddrives... I was thinking of doing something just like that for a gaming box, for school. I need it to be a tad bit cheaper... s

Problem is, most of those mentioned suck, as far as use. s

I got it. No ram, or processor. Still looks like a pretty good deal, but what power supply is included? Better then the refurb motherboard, value wise, I think. s

What actually comes with it? If it's pictured is what comes with it, it would be nice to know what the exact specs and components are. It looks like a steal, because the removeable slots for the 4 drives is 150, plus the mobo is worth 200-300. Wonder what processor, etc.? s

Kind of shocked no one uses Trendmicro Housecall,free, and, or, their software. Been using it for a month, and it seems pretty good at catching email stuff, my main problem. Now, should I really have to slow my computer down, just to use email on it? While I like doing email on the Dual...

Kind of like buying a Toyota, and buying a warranty. Mines 17 years old, and has 225k on the first engine. Got 200,000 on the first clutch... As Gary said, you don't need bios updates because usually everything works... s

190 dollars???? Hmmmm. I might buy one. :mrgrn: I do kind of wonder what support you get from Supermicro. Give em a call first. S

Which board? I think I would. :mrgrn: s

Simply flawless, on the X5DA8. Incredible board. Only problem has been noisy stock intel fans, on the 2.8's, and, the onboard scsi has the 50 pin setup with the plastic piece down, so getting a cable to fit is a pain in the ass. Other then that, it's by FAR, the best mobo I've ever had, and I...

If you want to see a drive die, ship to me, and I'll give it a 375 H&H death. :mrgrn: Photos will be included. s :mrgrn: :eekers:

Weird part is it's increased ripping speed by about double, and that's a HUGE help. s

Anyone have experience, or recommendations on the best dollar for value 1" SCA scsi drives? Places to find them, etc.? thanks s
