    IN retrospect, doesn't IDE, and the computer HD makers suck?

    is there much of a benefit of full duplex vs half duplex SAS vs S-ATA? I can see the benefit when saturating the interface, but when only using say 60MB/sec out of a 150MB/sec interface (remember there's ony 1 drive on the interface and it is half duplex by design)? what other features are...

    Ineresting SCSI news: SAS

    The prblem with determining who you were talking to was not one of the language, it is one of your use of the language. However, I will agree that we don't have the same courtesy usage as is common in other languages. I think some of that courtesy is lost because of the morals and ideals of...

    searching for good fonts is like searching for good pr0n now isn't it? I have used google in the past.. and www.1001freefonts.com (just click on the letters A-Z and you'll be fine)

    eh? English lang. problem? in your language can you make adjectives plural? Off the top of my head nouns are the only things that can be plural in the english language... nouns are defined as persons, places, things or ideas. Adjectives are words describing a noun, and verbs are words...

    windows drivers vs 3rd party... help getting back to windows

    Just wondering something. Sometimes when you install a new piece of hardwaqre Windows will automatically install drivers for it... usually the manuf. drivers are better so you isntall those instead. I installed a game pad(AxisPad FX) and windowsXP recognized it as a Gemini Gamepad.. to get the...

    Zelda: Ocarina of Time

    When n64 emulation 1st came into play I had a voodoo2 and used the UltraHLE emulator... even though the UltraHLE emulator was made for the voodoo2 it still took a bit of fooling with to get things 100%, but I do remember them being good. When I dumped the voodoo2 and got myself a TNT I found...

    Zelda: Ocarina of Time

    Recently I've been playing some n64 games via an emulator. I've spent most of my time playing an old favorite, Zelda. I've found that things run well on both Nvidia and ATi cards (dispite the fact that you used to have to use a voodoo2 and use glide if you wanted decent emulation for n64) Here...

    Speechless - thank you everyone!

    I imagine in Tannin's shop, the number one reason for PSU death would be discarded banana peels.. I realize you have to put them somewhere... and those holes in the back of the cases are awfully convenient, but maybe you do owe him something.

    Cool XP Powertoy

    i tried it... doesn't work very well.. the Nvidia detonator drivers have allowed the same functionality(multiple desktops) for just as long and they don't mess up either. The problems I had with the MSVDM was that it would sometimes lose windows, especially Internet explorer and windows...

    Disturbing find about Google

    I think any company with the best product for a niche should be allowed to grow and have as much market share as the market deems fit. MS is only a monopoly in a small handfull of niches at best. They're virtually a monopoly in the Desktop OS market and almost as bad in the browser market. They...

    Disturbing find about Google

    It seems entirely possible that google is limted to 32bits worth of webpages in their database, however I would think it would be reletively easy to upgrade to say 64 bits. I think it's quite foolish of the author to call this an error, just as he/she says that IP technology is itself in error...

    i miss the one we had... did the whole chain go out of business? Also, I'd like to say that I think Kingston used to be absolute crap in the 486 days. I had inumerable problems with one of their sticks of fast page. They've really changed the brand name around since then.

    haha.. sorry, but i'm on a budget. Honold- the 1.4GHz is probably just too hot for me, I think she'd like something that can run quieter. Clocker- would you be willing to send me the XP 1700 for $25 shipped? Otherwise i think I'd like to take Steve's 750 if he's willing to sell it for the $14...

    Which components for a basic, high-reliability system?

    Like I said, I'm pretty happy with the Radeon 9000. It's almost as fast as a geforce3 Ti 200(which puts it around geforce4 MX range), but runs fanless and has a reasonable price tag. I really can't see buying a top end video card because there are several new games about to be released that...

    Old version.com - Because newer is not always better.

    One of the reasons this part of he forums was created was to allow (hopefully) older versions of software in addition to software that might no longer be hosted by the original manuf.

    Which components for a basic, high-reliability system?

    I think most computers need atleast a single fan. This is mainly because of the hard disk and its ability to 1) produce alot of heat and 2) its reletively low tolerence for heat. Besides the CPU/PSU, traditionally the hard disk is the next hottest piece of hardware. Current trends are showing...

    Seeing as how the XP 1600 is almost doubly fast, I would prefer to wait and see if it becomes available.

    Boot off RAID 0 (stripe)?

    The RMA dept at both IBM and hitachi has been good to me, however I have never been a rude prick as it seems many people are to RMA reps. Coug- 1) I've found that RAID increases your boot times because of the RAID controller BIOS initializing and finding drives. This ranges anywhere from 5...

    SMP in the modern age

    I tend to think that the more you multi task, the more an SMP sytem will help you out. Not since the Pentium II/III has there really been a good selection of SMP mobos designed for "power user" dekstop use. It seems that most of the current SMP systems are designed for Xeon/AthlonMP and offer...

    Which IDE controller card?

    That rule only seems to apply to cables with 3 connectors on them.. the 2 connector cables don't seem to be affected. I don't know how the controller can tell the cable is backwards. I assume the problem with using a cable backwards is that the distance between drive 1 and the controller is...
