I like the current availability of lower priced AM2 Sempron processors, such as the 3000+ and 3400+. I think it is time to make the switch to AM2.

We'll see what happens first before pronouncing that they've gone down the tubes.

I wouldn't be surprised if WD sticks with 500GB as the largest capacity.

No problem. :) Steve, what is Adobe Audition 2?

Fortunately, most of my users are C and get along just fine without a software firewall. I rarely get user B, and when I do, they usually come along with a user C.

I agree with Tony and Merc regarding Windows XP SP2 - works fine for me.

Regarding a brand that I've grown to love: Kingston. Their memory always works for me. It lasts and doesn't give me any compatibility issues. I've used other brands with about a 67% success rate. I'm sticking with Kingston.

Interestingly, the FAQ for our forum says that we can edit our posts, just click on the Edit icon.

I started with Crossover Office (the program that comes with SuSe 10), but that didn't work. So I downloaded WINE and installed it; that didn't work either.

I haven't been able to get Photoshop to work with WINE and SuSe 10. Merc, when you mentioned using VMware, did you mean EMC's VMware Player? (I'm not familiar with virtual machine stuff, and am interested in learning.)

Turned out to be a nice system. I really like the Gigabyte video card with heat-pipes. It certainly keeps the noise of the system to a minimum. The RAID feature from nVidia was easy to use. It sure was nice to have to channels so that I could boot from a single SATA drive on one channel and...

I’m building my first AM2 system for a client. I didn’t think it would come around this quickly, as socket 754 is still a great performer for offices and comes at a great price. Nonetheless, this is not a typical customer, so we’re venturing into the AM2 arena. Here is the hardware list...

The issue isn't performance, it is reliability. I do avoid certain computer brands for that very reason, as I know you do too. Now, if GM's quality or reliability has increased, it will become evident to everyone as the years roll by. If this is what happens, then eventually, I would be...

For me and my clients: NOD32. Kaspersky tends to take an obvious hit on your resources, NOD32 does not.

Although Eset does not recommend it, I have found NOD32 to be compatible with many existing anti-virus programs. On the other hand, Kaspersky has caused Windows to blue-screen on me when combined with McAfee (Kaspersky and NOD32 has worked).

WD drives have had issues in the past with Cable Select too. They prefer the usual WD Single/Master/Slave settings.

Das Elefant ist doch Grau, aber Ihre Handtasche und Gummistiefeln sind grün. So lange Tea ihre Handtasche nicht echte Pelz ist.

I would recommend the SATAII150 cards as well. Dell also uses Cable Select. By the way tea, Warum hat dein Elefant grüne Gummistiefeln?

Hint: Go to Ballarat and buy some.

. . . and for finally hitting 4000 . . . ole!

Thanks again . . . .

Thanks for the kind remarks.

It sure did change.

Thanks for the references Steve. Those look like good utilities.

Germany beat Costa Rica 4:2 for the opening game! Although I'm happy they won, I'm also disappointed with Germany's performance. Their passing was sub-par and their defense seemed nonexistent. They're not going to go very far in this World Cup. :cry:

Yup, I'm still alive and healthy. No vacation either. I've just been very busy with work and some personal affairs. I probably won't post much for a little bit longer. As I'm out and about, I'll see if I can find the Bartender too. Handy, I read about your health improvement program and the...

Thanks GMac.

Wait until he hears about this once he gets back.

My customers have no need for a hard drive like that, even if it was free.

Won't be long now.

Vomit . . . you included a U-Series drive.

Nice avatar Jake!

He's a negative sod, but I wish the Bartender would come back. It's like a fantasy come true, but it just isn't the same serving your own drinks. It's like being at home . . . blah . . . could someone see if they could find find the old git?

Wow, those are very nice! Thanks mubs.

Within the next few months.

For me, DDR has gone up in price while DDR2 has gone down in price.

I've never used them Greg. However, less inclusive, I've seen City Desk used before and thought it was a helpful idea. http://www.fogcreek.com/CityDesk/index.html

That's very cool.

I think I might go back to NEC, or switch to using the S*ny/LiteOn variety.

I recently picked up a batch of LG GSA-4120B DVD burners. They're advertised for 12x DVDR burning. Well, I've tried two with the accompanying Nero 6.5 PowerDVD installation and I can't get them passed 4x. I sold two to a customer and he is the one that encountered the problem. He's using...

The beauty of an integrated system.

Here's an idea, don't buy a Dell in the first place. :D

That's super! I need one for my car. :drinka:

Beautiful picture Handy. Very surreal . . . it reminded me of the 1980 movie Flash Gordon.

Seagate, Maxtor and WD primarily use Solectron. However, from what I've found, Solectron doesn't act as a sub-contractor. They actually purchase the drives, refurbish them, and then sell them as white label drives with their own warranty.

It's really hard to tell. First, the picture they show is for an old tape-seal style drive. So the picture doesn't match the actual product. Secondly, there are third-party vendors that purchase failed hard drives from hard drive manufacturers, recertify and relabel the drives themselves...

NOD32 or Kaspersky.

Sort of a suicide for the technician type case . . . that's when my 5 lb. hammer comes in handy.

I want an easy way for the Mac OS to work on my PC.
