    Hard drive performance

    I installed XP-32bit, XP-64bit, and Server 2003 64bit on the same hardware and then ran ATTO on each OS. The hardware is an Intel D915GEV motherboard, P4 3GHz x64, 1GB Crucial RAM, and a 80GB Seagate 7200.7 SATA hard drive. On each OS, once ATTO started testing at the 8K level and above the...

    SCSI questions from a n00b

    80 pin drives are used mainly in hot swappable devices. They have no seperate power connector as the power come through the 80 pin connector. 68 pin drives connect up like a PATA drive; ribbon cable and a molex connector. Terminator: Placed at the end of the cable. Some cables have them built...

    Best Hard Drive Configuartion for a Development Workstation?

    I presume you are running a 64bit operating system, right? XP 64bit apparently uses the same hard drive controller system as 2003 Server. In my limited testing, XP 64bit is faster than standard XP. I believe MS had a trade up program that would allow you to trade 32bit XP for 64bit XP. But...

    WD800JB, 80gb 8mb buffer drives, should I buy?

    I've bought a lot of the 'JB' series drives over the last few years. But recently I started buying Seagate and Hitachi. Why? Too many RMAs with the WDs. Now I replace them when they are about 3 years old, even if they are still running and not showing any signs of problems. Most of these have...

    New Computer Money just came in

    We have over 100 3c905 NICs installed. Presntly I have been buying Intel D915GEV MB with a P4 603 - 3.0GHz, 64Bit, 800MHz FSB. It's only a few dollars more than a non-64 Bit P4. These are in testing. Right now I can't find a good reason to use XP 64Bit, but at least the CPUs will be ready...

We have over 100 PCs with the 3C905 cards installed. 3. We use a program for backups over a network that has limited NIC...

    New Computer Money just came in

    I'd stay away from XP 64bit for awhile. I have tried both it and 2003 Server 64bit and drivers are almost non-existent. I could not find a driver for a 3Com 3C905C NIC. Pathetic.

    Aprox. power usage?

    The current reading was taken at the outlet. It's the same as what the watthour meter sees and what my electric bill is based on. Generally a poor or low power factor requires more power to do the same work. That's why power companies penalize customers with a low power factor. Bozo :mrgrn:

    Yes, it was two desktops on the same wall outlet. Each pwer supply is rated at 400W To estimate the size of a power supply that is needed, I use this: http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/ It calculates 321W at full load. So my measured wattage is not far off. Also, I forgot to include the...
