Having problems with your 1200AB's?

Oops that should read 200GB BB for $210 or $217 for the JB.

The 180GB WD JB series at $186 (Newegg) is looking like good value for money.

I think some HP peripheral users are still waiting for win2k drivers. Especially for those all-in-ones. Very poor support on HPs part. [/b]

I wonder what happens if you remove the Tulip, install 2003, and then reinstall the Tulip. Would it shit itself? Demand reactivation and blab to MS that you've been a naughty boy? The mind wobbles.

I think as CPU speed and RAM capacity has increased so greatly, the hard drive doesn't have as much affect on overall performance as it once did. When people were running low end P2's with 64MB of RAM, then page swapping etc was much more pronounced.

Yes I heard rumours that it wouldn't support the Tulip. WTF were MS thinking when they had that bright idea?

Keep in mind that there will soon be two new iPods released, a 15GB and a 30GB.\, this may drive down the price of existing models.

Don't take this the wrong way jtr but have you driven a car? I know you don't have a drivers license, just wondering about your experiences.

Ooops, I can get the 320-2 for $450. Damn no edits :)

I should add that once I've finished with it, it may be used as a hotel reservations/back office server.

For mass storage I use large 5400rpm IDE drives. I also burn this data onto DVD as time permits. The reason I am pondering SCSI RAID is that when editing, right now I go from one X15-36LP to another (booting off another X15). Using a Tekram U3D U160 controller. The x15.2s are in an SCA...

OK, here's a couple of clips from higher quality sources: WM9 1280x720 trailers from Microsoft: Confidence trailer - 7.9 Mbps 121 MB http://download.microsoft.com/download/c/9/c/c9ccbbeb-c131-4877-b5bd-e043cf8af8dd/confidence_trailer.exe A Foreign Affair - 8.4 Mbps 122 MB...

Yup plenty of video.

Now that Apple have changed their T&C reseller agreement, the iPod isn't such a great deal. Dell (amongst others) don't sell them anymore. With Dell often having 20% promos in Periphs, they were excellent value for money.

Ouch. Looks like there's going to be a whole lot of warranty claims for the FX family.

Thanks for the reply farm. Right now I have the TigerMP with measly 64bit/33MHz slots. My thoughts were of the RAID 5 performance of the current 320-2, which uses a different (slower?) processor compared to the 400MHz one used in the 320-2X. As it is for the home, massive IO is not a major...

I still can't figure out how insurance companies in the US can get away with basing their premiums on credit scores. What does how you pay your bills have anything to do with your driving abilities? In Australia honold your car could prob be insured for under US$600.

Oooh 612 HP. Trust Merc to electronically limit the torque to "only" 1000nm tho :) I wonder how it will handle in snow?

The Subaru WRX is nice, but I hate to think of the insurance costs of a turbo car in the USA. When you think that a Ford Taurus (about the equivalent of a Falcon) costs over US$1000 a year to insure (in NY).

Definitely I think Australia produces the most powerful cars for the least money. Sure a TVR would be nice but then you end up paying insane amounts for petrol and would have to live in Europe :p In the US it is difficult to find a car/truck with a 350V8 for less than US$30K+.

Sadly it is all true Tea, the corroboration of the judge who was onboard makes it pretty compelling. I can't find the link to the article where an air marshal left his gun in the plane potty. Or where another guy has an accidental (negligent) discharge in the potty. Boggles the mind.

Whilst I have you here Explorer perhaps you could have a gander at this thread? http://www.storageforum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1920 Thanks :)

Oh yes I remember it well. The infamous Pabster :mrgrn:

GIANT: I wonder whether the so-called errata is purely an excuse to build up stocks and avoid another sham paper launch?

http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/news/4102992.htm Something to make your skin crawl. Hopefully these two get thrown in jail for their criminal negligence.

Rehabilitate in Australia.

Still quieter tham the X15-36LP (which I don't find noisy). I wonder whether it is hitting some kind of bus limit at 80MB/sec? I take it they still run winXP with no patches? That could affect it to. Eugene said that subjectively it is not as annoying as the WD Raptor.

Sadly I moved to Aus after the great days of "throw a prawn on the barbie". Apparently the Urwins do live in Aus, or at least have some kind of animal reserve, but they are travelling around so much doing their filming it's hard to say.

So you would recommend waiting for the Megaraid 320-2X as opposed to going for the 320-2? Thanks.

Never see Paul Hogan anymore. Nor for that matter Steve Urwin unless you subscribe to Discovery Channel.

There's one thing that MS does well, and that is have a ton of bandwidth. Merc if I were you, I'd move into work :)

The Holden Monaro has been selling in Aus for several months now. It will be released in the US as the Pontiac GTO. With the requisite price hike. http://www.holden.com.au/www-holden/action/modeloverview?modelid=12001&navid=1 Actually Holden are also making a special edition of the Monaro...

*Looks up from eating Crunchie ice cream* huh wha? So should I change my location? Or have you guys found browsers that behave? :mrgrn:

mmm Surburban, so much rooom. A ute is nice, but bugger all room to store anything of value in the cab. My current object of desire is a Dodge Ram Quad Cab with Hemi V8. Unfortunately they seem to be incredibly overpriced.

Awfully wide? Jeeze you should prob come back to IE :D I'm jsut sipping on a lubbly Bombay Sapphire and Indian tonic water. Purely for medical reasons of course... can't be too careful with that SARS about.

SR was giving me error messages about half an hour ago, and wierd crap like three ads up top in the forums. Seems to have been fixed now tho.

You can be a reseller to get an action pack. It must be used only for internal business and testing purposes. It's a great way to stay legal for a small business. Merc, the one thing it doesn't include is the Visual Studio series/FoxPro. Or the early download access that MSDN users get. The...

You have a subwoofer sitting on your router and switch? :o

I'm confused how people are attacking via formmail. Why doesn't Vox require that any email recipients outside the local domain be specified in a .formmail file, or specify them directly in the script?

Hmm I should really have read the full thread before saying anything :) A load of 17 is very high, it could be due to some other users on the server overtaxing available resources. Also when you have virtual hosts, this takes up more resources. A T1 to your apartment is going to be very...

I was thinking that it's prob backups, given the time of night that the slowdowns happen. Pair.com are using shadow drives on all their servers now, and besides giving a near identical copy of the primary drives contents, also reduces the disk load at backup time, because the backup is taken...

You just cannot screw around with the TSA droids. They have the power to make your life extrememly miserable, and answer to no-one. And they are blessed with machines that apparently cannot tell the difference between nitroglycerin and the glycerin used in hand care products. If the NYC...

He's probably shacked up with some gorgeous woman and forgotten all about us.

Still happy with your 2000FP? :wink:

I just hate the thought of spending hundreds on lamps, given the amount of TV I watch. Steve: It's Standing in the Shadows of Motown that takes 3GB, T2 takes more space (but no-one knows how much). This will be the third version of T2 I'll buy, already got the deluxe box set on Laserdisc and...

What really excites me is the possibility of 1080p on computer screens. That's 1920*1080. There is no consumer TV or projector that can handle that, so a monitor is the only possibility at this time. Apparently MS say it can be done at less than 10Mbit/sec. Merc, is your Dad's plasma a 480p...

http://dvd.ign.com/articles/393/393023p1.html Included in the new T2:Extreme Edition is a WMP9 file that will enable you to see the complete movie in HD, using your existing DVD-ROM drive. You will need a minimum of a Pee4 1.8GHz (and I think that is a very low estimate). Sadly my laptop won't...
