Would this mark be "666"? :eekers: Bozo :mrgrn:

It's slower. But it's still in beta. Bozo :mrgrn:

The power and data connectors on SATA just plain suck goats nads. I've already broken the data connector on one drive while trying to install a CD-ROM. Just moved theSATA cable the wrong way and 'snap'. There is one small advantage to the sucky connectors though. I installed a StorCase...

Don't hold your breath on speeding anything up. SP2 is over 350Meg in size and adds a lot of stuff. Bozo :mrgrn:

I didn't bother mentioning the case fans as mine have pass-through connectors. My point was that the 430 watt power supply has fewer Molex connectors than a 300 watt power supply. If I had some SATA devices it might have worked. If you are upgrading your power supply, it usually means you need...

Had to leave for a minute...... Above the DVD hardware are two Stor-Case hard drive recievers. Before I used another Molex, Molex, floppy cable. (why are there 2 floppy connectors??) Now it would take two separate cables. Below the floppy drive are three hard drives. Before I used the cable...

In this computer the DVD-ROM is above the DVD-Burner. These two are above the floppy drive. Before I used a Molex, Molex, floppy cable to power all threes. Now my cables are Molex, SATA, and floppy. This means using another cable with a Molex connector. I looked at moving the hardware around to...

Googling turned up Molex to SATA but not SATA to Molex. Time to break out the soldering iron. Bozo :mrgrn:

Does anyone know of an adaptor to go from SATA power to a Molex? Bozo :mrgrn:

That drawing is not like my power supply. They added some SATA connectors instead of the Molex. (2?? I don't have the power supply in front of me at the moment) There's also logistics. Not all the hardware is mounted to accommodate the power supply. Bozo :mrgrn:

I was upgrading a computer the other day to a P4 from a P3. The case I was using did not have a P4 compliant power supply. I purchased an Antec 430watt True Power power supply. The new pc only has a hard drive, CD-ROM, CD-burner, and floppy drive. The 430 watt PS would be overkill. Another...

I've assembled about 15 compters this year so far and none of them had the ring. All were Antec cases. The last time I remember seeing that ring was when I assembled a computer with a BX chipset, ~1999. Bozo :mrgrn:

I don't usually do much overclocking, but I decided to play around with my Asus P4C800-E-Deluxe. The MB is equiped with a Promise RAID controller that I have disabled in the BIOS. But, when I up the memory voltage, the BIOS ignores my settings and displays the Promise RAID controller during...

Western Digital: Fill out the on-line form, get an instant RMA, ship product, receive a replacement. Turn around time is based on the shipping time. Newegg: The best warranty/replacement service that I have ever gotten from an online vendor. Same setup as WD. You need a receipt though. I am...

I also did the Google search. I downloaded the white paper from Intel and I'm more confused that ever. I have an Asus P4C800-E-deluxe with the Intel 875 chipset on it. It reports the memory as being in Linear Mode. According to the Intel white paper, there is no Linear Mode for the 875 chipset...

The "Speed" one was smoth as silk. The others were a little choppy. Bozo :mrgrn:

(Meory=Memory)One of these days I'll learn how to spell. :oops: Bozo :mrgrn:

I've been searching the web for facts about Dual channel memory and I'm still confused. Which is better (faster?) Dual Channel dynamic paging mode, or Dual channel linear mode. Thanks, Bozo :mrgrn:

I've been installing the ATI Radeon 9000 64Meg card for motherboards without on board video. All of our computers/servers have the USB ports disabled. Some don't even have a CD-ROM. This keeps the "curious" from fooling around. We spend enough time keeping virises and worms out without having a...

That's odd. Our file replication is instantaneous. And network traffic is negligible. I have been informed the MSSQL has a replication service built in. Bozo :mrgrn:

If you are running Windows Server, you can use the 'File Replication Service' to keep the database current on each machine. It's instantaneous (allowing for network load). I just set up two servers using this and connected them via a crossover cable. Working fine so far. Bozo :mrgrn:

About the same here: In 1998, the company bought over 300 Gateway E4200 computers for the office types. All had a WD Caviar 6GB hard drive in them. No one in IT can give me the number of hard drives that failed, but they don't believe it was all that many. Some of these computers are still...

I've been checking some of our hard drive failures. This is not 'statisical' or 'scientistic' but does offer a closer look at what failed. First off: this a heavy manufacturing plant. Most of our eqiupment converts AC current to DC current. Some convert DC back to AC and pump it back into the AC...

I questioned the vender we used for computer parts about hard drives. They would not give me any numbers, but I was told that they have far fewer WD drives returned than other brands. I have bought Seagate, WD, IBM, and Maxtor from this vender. Bozo :mrgrn:

WinDVD has a program that takes VHS straight to DVD with minimal hard drive space required. Shame the program is $100.00. I'd sooner buy another hard drive. Bozo :mrgrn:

I am trying to move some VHS tapes to DVD. I've been able to 'capture' the video using WinDVD. What I would like to know is how large a hard drive will I need to capture a 2 hour VHS tape? 250GB enough? Bozo :mrgrn:

Don't know if this will help, but my Asus MB uses an AMI BIOS and three beeps is: "Main Memory read/write test error". Bozo :mrgrn:

Interesting. None of ours was over 120GB. Most were 400JBs. Something to do with more platters on the same bearings? Bozo :mrgrn:

I've been buying WD drives for work over the last two-three years. Maybe 70-75 total. Only had to RMA 4. All of them 200BB models. Mostly it's for bearing noise. Bozo :mrgrn:

There's always Plextor. They make some black models, they're a little pricey though. The warrenty service is slow and ackward, but they did make good on the warrenty. Bozo :mrgrn:

I haven't had time to try anything. But a freind has used DVD Audio Ripper (http://www.imtoo.com/dvd-audio-ripper.html) to extract music from a concert DVD to a CD in MP3 format. Said it worked like a champ. Bozo :mrgrn:

Finally recieved the replacement burner on 2-12. Bozo :mrgrn:

For years I have been using the Promise Ultra 100/133 card to add hardware to computers. Is there anything better? Thanks, Bozo

I would like to take the sound tracks from a DVD and burn them to a CD. The DVD is a concert. Will Shrink DVD and Nero allow me to do this? Thanks, Bozo

All the cases that are ATX format will not work with the new BTX format. You will need a new case. Bozo :mrgrn:

My two 75GXPs are only 15Gb each. Bought them February '00? They are still running and haven't started making weird noises yet. But, they do not run 24/7. Bozo :mrgrn:

Maybe I'm missing something......... My son also uses Solidworks that is running on a P4 2.5GHz, 1GB of RAM setup and it runs fine. The video card is a Radeon 9000. Is there more to be had from Solidworks if it is running on a $10000.00 computer? Bozo :mrgrn:

I am still running a 3Ware 6500 with 2-IBM 75GXPs in my system. These are configured in RAID 0. I could run some test on this setup if that would help. Maybe ATTO? I've had this setup since the 75GXPs first came out and I've never really noticed any big speed improvement over a single 75GXP. I...

I finally sent them another email asking about the RMA. According to Plextor, the RMA was sent on the 14th. Right......... Anyway I finally got the RMA. Now we'll see how many months it takes to get another burner. Bozo :mrgrn:

I was supposed to get an RMA within 3 days.....that was Jan 12. Still no RMA Bozo :mrgrn:

Any recommendations on DVD burning software. Thanks, Bozo :mrgrn:

I recently upgraded to a new box. I'm using both the onboard NIC and sound. Haven't had any problems. With a much faster CPU, more and faster RAM, and faster bus speeds, the sound computation is nothing more than a pimple on the CPU's a$$. But, I don't listen to music much on the PC. I use a...
