I'm not much of a server person, but I wonder how price/performance compares between Opterons and Xeons.

I went on a quiet computer kick, and that whine had to go....

It seems to me that PKZIP had a command line option to do this -- about a decade ago. You might want to check the PKware website out....

On a different website, I tried to explain to someone that they might get better performance by not using an array... and several people seemed to have trouble believing that. Somehow people get it into their heads that double the drives must mean double the performance....

Both of the drives are fine. Since the failure of my RAID escapades, I've had to revert the drives back to my Adaptec 29160, where they are working perfectly. The installation seems fine until it yaks. I can usually get to the first time you can actually login and do something; nothing in...

I use F6 and a floppy. The Win2k installer doesn't recognise the array if I don't give it drivers. I was under the impression that it came with drivers for this card, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I picked up an LSI MegaRAID 1600 Elite for pretty cheap a few weeks ago. Since household income has become a question mark, I'm not going to be able to invest in an enclosure and new drives as I had planned. In the mean time, the want to put my two existing 15k.3s into a RAID 0 for a little...

Is buying a cheap, off-the-rack server, like a Dell, stuffing a lot RAID controllers and disks into it, and installing your favourite *nix just too simple?

Does it have to make sense?

All you need to do is get a Dell SC400 on sale, and stuff a bunch of drives into it. That should save $1000 right off the top.

Now sold: 2x DM+9 The AIW 8500 has gone to fleabay

Why haven't AMD and IBM come up with something? AMD: We have kick ass chips and not enough fabs. IBM: We have idle fabs and and cutting edge technology. I want kick ass chips with cutting technology!

Hypermicro's customer service is very poor. It seems that website errors are the only reason that you need to contact them, however. When I order the Maxtor DM+9s, the website listed them as having a three year warranty, but the drives I got had only a two-year warranty. I talked to the same...

Now sold: SC4 FIFA Renegade Now asking $150 for the AIW 8500; tomorrow it goes to fleabay.

Didn't Novell try the Linux schtick with a company now called SCO?

Now sold: Headset

I know that with Lite-on burners, it will simply refuse to burn at a speed higher than it recognises for the media. How software ignorant of this information will react is beyond me.

My Soyo motherboard came with a reader with two USB ports, CF, and SM. I know that they retail this setup and other similar ones.

Not unless you take Australian funny drives in return....

Basically, if you want a good camera, go with a camera company. If you want something easy to use, then you'd better hit up a consumer electronics company. I have an older Olympus. It's a good camera, but not easy to use. And the software sucks the big one. Luckily, when I hook it up to the...

Please read the entire post. This supersedes previous threads. 18.4GB 36Z15 15k SCSI Drive Used Ultra 160 hard drive, 80pin SCA; I will include an Ultra320 80-pin SCA-2 to 68-pin adapter, which would be $10 separately. The drive has more than three years remaining on the warranty...

Looks like the DM9+s that I have. PS, they have two-year warranties. Put that in your pipe and smoke it! :mrgrn:

I'd love to go with SCSI opticals... but not until they start slapping 68-pin interfaces on these suckers. I'm not paying more *and* snakeing a 50-pin ribbon across my case for these guys.

I am adding the following items from the odds and ends pile: Dell Power Cable, 6', p/n 01045D New, manufactured by Voltex. Compatible with most Dell laptops and flat panel monitors. Asking $5. Phone cord, 6', Two-line Open, but never used. Standard silver-grey. Asking $1.

Deals pending on all three fans, both copies of BF1942, and on MOHAA

On a whim, I installed it the morning that it came out. Absolutely no issues that I've noticed. I haven't run the system through it's complete paces yet, but nothing glaring.

Serial cable and brown current tap are sold. Ivory current tap is still available. All games except for a single copy of Battlefield 1942 are spoken for.

All phone cords are sold. Fan adapter is sold.

Send me an e-mail if you're interested in something. Please make sure to read through my entire post! Thanks.

I dunno. I've always prefered to get my card from a company that owned the product all the way through. Then again, I can see that it's hard to sell chips to companies with which you compete. I've been hooked on All-in-Wonder cards for some time, so I'm not sure that this will make a big...

For those who were asking... yes, I still have copies of MOHAA and BF1942 available. I will be going out of town on Friday. For anyone interested in a purchase, I will give dibs to earlier e-mails. Thanks!

This is 13 people, mostly in Texas. Next thing you know, we may start voting for the Natural Law party....

Deal pending on the ivory current tap.

Noise sure was an issue back then. That's why they put the mainframes in their own rooms!

The power cord and one of the 7' phone cords are sold. Sale pending on 4-pin to 3-pin splitter.

Sorry for coming to the party late... Logically, putting a matrix within the matrix makes sense. You're using recursion to squeeze the 1% that don't accept the Matrix down to a more manageable 0.0001%. Then again, you're right in that it doesn't seem to fit the precepts of the movie.

I have a pair of 120GB DM+9s with the FDB motors in a RAID 1. They idle quiet (as expected), but sure are clacky on seeks. They're hotter and noisier than my 180GXP.

So what could be the result of this exploit?
