Well, I got the 4th Cheetah back from Seagate, and it's a Rev 3, same as the others. Time to Raid 0 all four, but, I think I'll wait until Monday, and throw the IDE/sca into the box, at the same time. I've been crippled with only a 90 mb/sec raid. Hope to get back to the 110 or better range. s

Boy, after reading that press release, I'm ready to dump Supermicro, get rid of Xeons, and go Nvidia. :stpd: :roll: s

Very nice!!

Please don't take this to email. I'm really enjoying this, and I love the information you are all presenting. s

That guys review certainly appears to make it a great item. I've always liked Nikons, and ease of use is a major part of it, something I don't find in the Canon Rebel I own. s

You guys are great. Learned quite a bit from that article on the evolution of digital cameras, and the same things that have been Nikon's strength still are. Pentax has NEVER, at least to my way of thinking, been a second level company. My experience was they made smaller, usually, and just...

Are you doing this in Monterey, or SF? s

Ahh, the power of the t...(deleted due to family content forum). :mrgrn: s Women speak 7000 words a day average. Men 2000. The above illustrates the effectiveness of the mouth in these situations. It would have taken a man at least 3 times as long to convince the girl to move in...

Pradeep: I was using the 1200 dpi to test the rig. I like the idea of the auto feeder. Any suggestions, that don't cost a fortune? I use 150-300 dpi, and I'm scanning in my kids work, to keep digital record of my progress with them. GS

What I remember of Leica is they were in the Zeiss, Hasselblad, range, and cost, well above anything Nikon put out, and, the quality was far above Nikon, as well. Still the case? s

Leica? Poor optics, right? :wink: s

blakewry: My concern is more the paricular machine, with the Parahelia. The card has had some driver problems, and I had a no go install on 2000 on my Athlon box. I suspect it was PEBCAKE, but I'm not THAT bad at part installations. Worked fine on my Xeon machine, but that was from a clean...

LM: Only thing about canon stuff is it seems cheaply constructed, or designed to fail, sort of. I have a Canon Rebel, and it's fine, but it was about 300 dollars, WITH a very nice zoom lense. Currently I'm working on a Canon N1220U scanner. The connector on the back is pretty weak, and all...

update on Photoshop on this rig I'm a bit baffled on this. On my asus 266-7m mobo with Athlon 1.4 ghz processor, Photoshop, and Cannon ScanGear CS-U would take my entire processor, freezing my machine. On this dual 2.8 ghz, I can scan at 1200 dpi, and never go over 15% processor usage, and...

LM: When did the D70 come out, and between the D70 and D 100 which would you take, and why? Value is a big deal to me. I was also the founder and president of my high school photography club, so I know a bit about cameras, albeit not very much about current high end digitals. s

"HALF" Lawyers love this idea. Gay marriages. That means I get half their income, in fees...Doubles the market. On the otherhand, I go nuts when the subject comes up. s

I don't buy that shit. I've had fish with swim bladder problems live for better then a year. I've had deformed fish live a long, and healthy life, upside down. I NEVER put a fish down. They may recover, they may not. Let nature run it's course. I deal with kids on a daily basis that some...

No, but they would have been in San Francisco... :wink: gs

WHY did I think this thread was about gay marriages in San Francisco? :roll: :mrgrn: s

Storage solution? sca/ide or sca/scsi? Mirror? Hi Well, I'm at the point where the amount of data in pics and scans is getting rather large. I scanned a bit of school work, and it was 708 mb. That's in one day of scanning. I'm thinking that two Diamond Max Plus 9's, at 160 gig, in a mirror...

I thought this thread was about another Starwars movie :cry: gs

Really the best way to go is get an SCA/scsi hotswap setup for around 200 dollars. 80 pin scsi drives are all over the place, fast and cheap. s

Problem is the initial startup, isn't it? s

How have the raptors been? Reliable? Haven't followed them. s

Dual xeons aren't exactly quiet, or cool, and they are only 2.8's. Still they ROCK! s

Watching JLO's first concert in PR. Incredible. Drool... s And, I'm old. It takes a lot to get me to droll...ok, I lied...

All good. Installing SP 4 right now. s

PEBCAKE :cry: Appears I didn't finish the flashing the mobo properly by loading defaults on boot. It went by so fast, I didn't see it. Followed asus instructions, and currently installing 2000. See what happens. gs

Irony is, as a ref, I shouldn't really be sitting on the bench, or coaching. I'm a CCBOA official, {Link to page including Santilli's home phone removed- Modertor.} scroll down. I ended up watching from the third row, since a friend of mine, Derrick Helms, has a daughter on St. Marys of Sac...

Bob Hagler, asst coach, was my best friend in high school. Ask Frank who and what I am... AlloccoF@dlshs.org Tell him he isn't anything one on one, and I want him.... http://www.dlshs.org/athletics/basketcoaches.cfm Nice guy, great coach. If he would have listened, and we would have...

Appears VIA ultra DMA fuxored my whole install. Can't start in safemode. Apparently, it deletes an integral 2000 file. Currently reformatting in 98, and starting over. :frowner: gs

Well, got it going. The ATA 100 channels on the mobo are way faster then the drives, so connected the boot, Max/quax DM 9 to that, and I'm booting off it. 23 mb/sec writes, 45 mb/sec reads, according to ATTO 2.50. Installed all the drivers for the trio card, and connected the 5120 to that...

High School Division 1, basketball. s

The promise/maxtor 133 card sucked. Did not recognize the drive, etc. Plugged same drive into Sonnet Tempo Trio, and it's formating right now. I know the drive was formatted mac, but, not being able to format, or see the drive with the Promise/maxtor ata 133 sucks. Sonnet Tempo trio appears...

Well, the onboard promise controller sucks. I can't get anything to work on it, but, it looks like I did. We'll see. BSOD on initial post install boot. Connected 5120 to motherboard, and boot off that. Still one of the faster access time hard drives, ever. Disconnected the Diamond Plus 9...

and an old Maxtor 5120 in my 1.4 gig athlon, for storage server. Decided to pull all my scsi stuff out, and set the box up with the above drives, I have laying around from trying to use them in my mac, a 2940 Adaptec card so I can talk to my external raid box for storage, and, (shuddersl, a...

Hi I was looking around for used Matrox cards, and found these: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?submit=manufactory&catalog=48&manufactory=1291&Type=Refurbish&sortby=14&order=1 179.00 is about what I think the Parhelia 128 is worth. Hmmm. They seem to go quickly. s

Well, my guys, we, finished second at Arco, to Fairfax. They had a bit too much height, and we didn't screen out, or play to the level required. Still, a great team, and a great game. s

The G 550 I bought was a refurb, for about 60 dollars. Couldn't beat the price, and wanted to see if the cards are THAT good. :wink: As usual, you are right on the money. This card should work great in my Dell P2 400mhz office computer for my girl friend. When I get the chance, I'll swap out...

I guess the numbers don't lie. I just got done reading about the Parahelia and games, and, the guys pretty much said the Parahelia won't run the current generation of games, won't support DX 9, and is questionable for longhorn. Apparently a new card is due from Matrox, this summer? What is...

Splash: One thing I have noticed is that with the Matrox card, I use MUCH higher resolutions on the two monitors, like 1600X1200, and, I can use them, and still see clearly. MAJOR advantage in productivity. ATI was likewise crystal clear on the mac side. Wonder if it's that good on the pc...

Pradeep: So the current Computer DVD's are different from our store bought DVD's? Funny, I thought the format was the same. I guess using Disk copy is not going to work with a store bought DVD, until the new Dual layer burners come out??? What was the format used in the industry in the...

"Dual layers"? ????? s

I love the books. The movies are very good, and in someways better. Lynch's version captures a few things better then my imagination. The countryside he used, his view of Minas Tirth, the arrival of Aragorn at the battle field in front of MS, these I thought, while different then the books, in...

Well, this sucker rocks. If I can RMA my clicking, firmware version 2 X 15, I can raid 4 drives to boot from. Haven't decided if the ATTO UL#D Dual channel hardware raid card is better for raid 0, or the current adaptec 21010S or whatever it is. It returns, with 3 drives, 85-95 mb/sec using...

OK: But, what's this stuff about the Perihelia being faster then any of them? I thought Matrox put out cards that were 3-4 years behind the top cards, in playing quake 3, etc.? While the dual Matrox G550 is a great 2d card, for this rig, I want a world class video card, for doing HD, and...

Couldn't find it. And I looked. Sucktacular. Well, maybe I can get the guys to let my put 2003 server on my machine. Any reasons not to buy a copy? Have XP Pro currently. s

Brings back a couple Crocodile Dundee parodies, but, that's pretty close to the truth, except this guy girl was REALLY pretty... :cry: On top of being the perversion capital of the world, for a straight male, it offers a pretty good situation, but, not nearly like San Diego, or LA. LA is...
