Yup. Particularly FireWire 800. This article from Xbit shows some nice data regarding interface speed differences.

They do seem handy. I have some friends that use them for personal and business use. For computer work they look especially roomy to hall around a lot of cases.

If this is helpful for anyone, here is the MS page for Windows Vista Application Compatibility Update.

In my opinion, the Ford Flex looks better than the Honda Element. It has more of a sleek look with a slightly raked profile.

The more often your name is mentioned and you respond, the quicker you'll hit 10,000 posts.

Water?

Oh. Well, then make it a Green Tea. Nits, thanks for the tip about NOD32, but my customers have not yet had a problem with the non-CD type installation. Usually I'm there, with their credit card, and create an account with Eset for them.

Bakers on the rocks Bartender.

Is that why the prices are so high? I know it's not for the food. :)

Ditto.

Up to about 40F? What happens after that, too warm to go running? :)

College? Nope, never been, well at least not for school purposes. But I have worked in various blue-collar jobs, even before graduating High School, the pick-me-up of choice was either beer or a Coke can partially filled with Rum. I have found that printing press operators are some of the...

Those Blu-Ray reader/writers are killer on the price. But, what's an extra two grand when you've already passed 10K?

EMC Retrospect backup software works well and has some good configuration options.

As you know, if multi-threading is more important for the intended tasks than MHz, the 5160 is priced for me the same as the 5345. Those 2.5" 10K SAS drives must be neat. How are they temperature-wise?

What! No 5300 sequence chips?!

Wow! Thanks for the tip. I've been using the DG965RY and DQ965GF boards, but not with the Antec Neo PSU.

I use Opera, FireFox, IE6, and IE7.

XCOPY, Batch File and Scheduled Tasks are great for backing up data across a network. I prefer creating a soft RAID0 with 4 external WD drives.

Wow, 4000 posts, even after a period of silence. Coug deserves a new 10lb motivational tool for those stubborn computers and annoying customers.

Nothing like a Belhaven Twisted Thistle and onion bhajis for a mid-morning snack!

I've noticed that with the launch of Vista, hardware prices have dropped, especially DDR2 memory.

Thanks Chewy.

Thanks for sharing Chewy. We have some posted here; although I haven't had the time to scan and post 2006.

Nice. Any pictures available for viewing on the world wide wibble?

Just as a side note, I haven't had any trouble using 533 or 667 memory.

This is even better. :puke-r: :puke-r: :puke-r: :puke-r: :puke-r:

Yup. That's it. Thanks Handy.

HA! :lol: What I'd really like is a pair of RS1000s facing me with a Rocket Twin UFW-12 tucked away so that my entire block of condos can have the privilege of hearing Boston's Walk On medley. It'll also help scare the termites away. :)

Where is the puke emoticon again?

What is that black thing that she takes out of the envelope with an audio file on it? Is that an old MP3 player, something before the iP*d? What are those black flat things with sleeves? Are those old fashioned business cards? They look awkward to carry around.

Some of those deals are nice, but I can't afford to spend that much money. Plus, I have no where to put more Rocket speakers. They won't fit in my book shelf, and the floor won't work either. :( But, I look forward to my new pair!

Embarrassingly, these two speakers will be, by far, the most superior in my setup. The fronts are old Magnavox bookshelf speakers (I only have room for small book shelf speakers in the front) and the center is a Klipsh. The center speaker was a gift for some web work. Although it is a few...

The addition of RAM makes a big difference. Even with a WD740GD, you might want to consider isolating your swap file to a separate HDD. Maybe purchasing a low capacity SATA drive would work.

Well, I just purchased a pair of these: RS450 They will replace my ailing rear speakers.

Glad you like it. How do you like the speed?

Let me think . . .

Having spent time in Boston and New Haven, my choice would be Boston.

Cool Handy! Thanks for the link. It would seem best to stay on the ground, at home. If flying is needed, going to the Northwest seems less crowded.

But what? Perfume doesn't make an orangutan . . . well, less orangutanish.

eSATA or 1394b? Which ever route the industry takes, this 1394b test was rather interesting from Xbit. It at least shows the potential of 1394.

You are handy. :)

I'm no expert on median/mean, but, does this help? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median

Indeed, that is the conundrum. However, in my opinion, I believe 1394b will become more common. We do see 1394a as a standard on many motherboards now, but still no eSATA. From what I've seen and also been told, current eSATA compatibility is a wild chimpanzee. Probably the most compatible...

I have found that 1394b does a great job handling the maximum transfer rate of new 7200 rpm drives.

Beefeater or Bombay? (I want to be prepared when I come from the Northeast.)

It could be that same Acer monitor, not repaired.

I wonder how well the XFX cards from Pine would work for a similar setup.

Yup. That tells me that SP1 really equals the official release version. Thus, SP2 will be the true SP1, and that will be when I start to use Vista, maybe.

Vista needs SP1
