No problem :D I don't know a thing about wireless. Just trying to help. Bozo :mrgrn:

The X15s are $184 at Newegg. The Raptors are $111. If you already have all the SCSI hardware, it would be worthwhile going for the X15. Is your pc already SATA compatable? Bozo :mrgrn:

Is there anyting in this article that will help you? http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20040527.html Bozo :mrgrn:

I still seem to be having some problems. The home page of Storage Forum (news blurbs) is so small I can't read it with my glasses on. When I increase the text size (crtl +) the home page stays the same but the forum replies get larger. Then going to another site, it looks like my screen...

Actually, it seems that Storage Forum is the site that doesn't change. I just started using Firefox and haven't been to too many site. I'll keep checking. Bozo :mrgrn:

I need to make the print larger while using Firefox. I went to the options menu and changed the font size. I works on some web pages but not others. Is this a Firefox problem or something else? Bozo :mrgrn:

Actually, it's a room heater. :lol: Bozo :mrgrn:

I'll bet this MB/Heatsink/Fan won't fit. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=16247 Bozo :mrgrn:

At the time these servers were spec'd out, Intel didn't have a MB with video and meet our other requirements. These were the cheapest video cards that we could find. Radeon 7500 for $65 US. I guess we'll pay for them in the long run. Do you think they would be okay without the fan? Bozo...

Well, at least I'm not alone.....worldwide anyway. I've been working on a small file sever (store and forward) with a loud screeching noise comming from inside the case. (Intel D845 MB, P4-1.6GHz, 1M ram, 2-18GB Cheetas in RAID 1) Started disconnecting fans and still had the noise. Then it...

I'm stuck in my cube for the holiday weekend (in the USA). Anybody else have to work too? Bozo :cry:

Sounds like the IBMs we used to have. When you consider the cost and the spec sheet, they should be a real ball of fire. But the setup renders them as fast as molasses in the acrtic. Our Netfinity servers had multiple SCSI controllers, but everything was conected to one, the IBM model. The...

Opps .... Thats a Motarola modem. My hub is Linksys. :oops: Bozo :mrgrn:

Even if you would have bought a modem at a local store, you would have at least got a warrenty. My Linksys modem came from Radio Shack for $99 with a $99 rebate offer. Bozo :mrgrn:

I installed FireFox the other day. Pretty much a 'generic' install. The Newegg add at The TechReport is flashing right along. Bozo :mrgrn:

If it is so important, then why does MS give you an easy way to disable it? Bozo :mrgrn:

No. If it's there, it will use it. Try disabling the Pagefile. Bozo :mrgrn:

What flavor of Windows? I've been disabling the page file in XP. Bozo :mrgrn:

I don't have the registry address handy, but you also should stop the kernal from being paged. 'Disable executive paging' or somthing like that in the memory management section. What problems have you encontered? Bozo :mrgrn:

Actually, throw in more RAM and then disable the page file. I have had a glich even when making DVD movies from tape, or playing FarCry. Bozo :mrgrn:

I must be missing something. I have 15 Raptors in service for some time now without problems. All in some sort of RAID setup. The one that I did RMA was for a broken serial cable connector; the drive still functioned fine. And the replacement still has a 5 year warenty. Fill me in..... Bozo...

Some of Western Digital SATA drives have 5 year warrenties. Bozo :mrgrn:

I've been using the Intel D865PERL motherboard for a while now. For reliability and stability you cant beat it. Price is reasonable too. Bozo :mrgrn:

I switched to TDK CDs years ago and have never had any problems. I avoid the RWs though as they (any brand) seem problematic. Bozo :mrgrn:

I like this one. Someday I'll have to buy one and give it a test. http://www.magiccard.ca/index.html Bozo :mrgrn:

I've been using the Kingston StorCase carriers/recievers for about 5 years now. Their newest reciever has a SATA connector on it but will accept carriers for SATA or PATA. Real nice if you have more than one type of hard drive or are planning to move to SATA. Bozo :mrgrn:

Symantec took over Powerquest. I belive this will work: http://enterprisesecurity.symantec.com/products/products.cfm?ProductID=345&EID=0 Bozo :mrgrn:

Powerquest makes software to enlarge a RAID setup. It's not hardware specific either. Bozo :mrgrn:

My son was complaining about his computer being slow and he couldn't load some programs. When I started checking things out, I found over 1GB of programs and junk had been install. Opening IE resulted in a window that was about 6"x6" in the middle of the screen (17" monitor) surrounded by a...

This same thing could have happened to a Linux box too. Maybe easier to clean up though....fewer reboots. Bozo :mrgrn:

How would you get around the problem of having to have the game cd in the machine to be able to play the game? How do you do that with multiple single machines? Bozo :mrgrn:

Actually, switching to 200GB, 7200rpm, SATA hard drives at each machine sounds like the logical thing to do. With their higher platter densities the time to load would be about the same as a 10000rpm drive. This would also leave room to expand. And, you wouldn't have to worry about the server...

I've always had good experiances with Newegg. Even their RMA process has been positive. Bozo :mrgrn:

Check that.......The New Jersey is now in New Jersey. How about the Mississippi? Bozo :mrgrn:

The Missouri is in Hawaii. That's a little long even for those big guns. Maybe the New Jersey as I think it's in Oregan or Washington state. Ahhh.....nothing like the sight of a 2000lb projectile whistling though the air. Bozo :mrgrn:

Don't know much about that RAID controller, but I would check out the software package that comes with it. The 3Ware controller monitoring software just plain sucks. To do a verify of the RAID array setup, you must schedule it. You just can't tell it to verify the drives. You can't test the...

According to Crucial, Win2K Pro will handle 4GB of RAM. Bozo :mrgrn:

How about these? http://www.antec-inc.com/us/pro_details_enclosure.php?ProdID=91600 Bozo :mrgrn:

If you look closely at these cases, they all look like Antecs. Is there one company making these cases for multiple sellers? Bozo :mrgrn:

You might look into WinDVD. It has direct from video in to DVD. Bozo :mrgrn:

I didn't think it was necessary to run a "server" operating system to run a game server. I set up an XP box as a UT2003 server with no problems. Bozo :mrgrn:

I have an IBM U2W SCSI hard drive that has an 80 pin connector originally designed for a hot swap setup. I also have an Adaptec 2940 U2W SCSI card. Of course the connectors on the card do not match the hard drive. Is there a simple, easy, and cheap way to use the IBM hard drives with the Adaptec...

I use the following as a guide to sizing a power supply: AGP Video card 30-50w Average PCI Card 5-10w 10/100 NIC 4w SCSI PCI card 20w Floppy...

Ive install 8 Raptors in two RAID 5 systems. They have been running for about 6 months. Seem to be doing fine. Bozo :mrgrn:

Longest thread on SR? Promise/Maxtor problems I switched to 3Ware for ATA RAID and have never looked back. Bozo :mrgrn:
