    Poll: second-worst hard drive

    I used to come across Quantums in Compaq systems -- I guess that says it all.

    Poll: second-worst hard drive

    When I get ailing Dell systems in my shop and the drive is the culprit, they're usually Seagate ATA drives.

    AMD's share down by 22%.

    The time to buy was in August and September when AMD was below $12.50.

    IDE hard drive poll

    They were the first to ship drives using ATA-5, the first to market with 20, 30, and 40 GBs per platter. They were also the first to market with 8 MB cache ATA drives. Also, this P-ATA to S-ATA is just a personal preference, because obviously there is no performance difference.

    I would have picked WD for their innovations, but I picked Samsung instead because of their reliability.

    Macmini, who's interested?

    I went through part of the "Buy" option and updated this little beast to 1.42GHz, 80 GB drive, 512MB RAM (the 1 GB option is horrendously expensive), SuperDrive (can now burn DVDs), Internal Bluetooth, Wireless Keyboard and Mouse, plus the AppleCare Protection Plan. The price is now up to...

    Video Card Solutions

    I've been looking at some ATI PCI-E video card solutions, and I was wondering about the X300, X600PRO, and the X700PRO. Obviously the performance and price varies amongst these three cards, but what sort of AGP cards would you compare them with? I was thinking of using the X300 for office...

    RAID using sx600

    I can't fix your problem, but it is good to see that the SX6000 card worked for you under RH9. I tried this about 2 years ago with RH8 and RH9, it was a no-go. The card has been sitting in it's retail box every since. (Prior to that it was working flawlessly on a Windows NT 4.0 system.)

    I'd imagine that trying to catch her would be the first hurdle. The second would probably be trying to overpower her inherent strength. Although a couple of bananas might lure her in.

    I still have a PM in my Outbox for PW. The reason it is still there is that he has never logged onto this forum since before I sent the message. Additionally, it is not in my Sentbox.

    Pvt Msgs

    As far as I can tell, a private message first hits the Outbox, and stays there until the receiver logs in. When they log in, the message moves from the Senders Outbox to their Sentbox.

    It's always a shame to stop the brewing process, but for water that isn't a health risk, it is certainly worth any amount of effort for the Sri Lankan Brewery. Just as note, in times gone by, beverages containing an alcohol content were consumed more often because decent water was in short...

    Yup, I’ve had back problems for many years. Initially, I injured my upper back when I was a teenager, right under my right shoulder blade. Once in a while (a couple times a year) it would go spastic leaving me in a great deal of pain for a few days. Then, about a year and half ago, I injured...

    Wow, the information regarding the new Z06 really is being kept a secret. Autoweek has an article about a man that posted a photo of the new Corvette and then later had two GM Security guards visit his home about the illegal release of the photo. I've chosen not to link this thread to the article.
