That protein takes around 9 hours to complete on my Athlon XP 1700+ box. Oh and I have to say it at least once : I past the furry ball and I'm now 5th :mrgrn:

Both are impressive. The Deskstar for its low noise level (between Barracuda ATA IV and ATA V, while being quite a bit faster than the Barracuda ATA V. The Atlas 10K IV because it beats the already very respectable Fujitsu MAP drive in all but one (bootmarks) benchmarks. It's also not louder...

This isn't quite true. Fluid bearings are supposed to produce more heat than regular bearings. Why? Don't remember. The Barracuda ATA IV confirms this in a way, as it gets hotter than most other same-generation 7200rpm ATA drives. I'm not saying that it is an unreliable drive by the way. I...

Is it possible that you simply made a spelling mistake when you entered your e-mail address? It can happen to the best you know.

So I was wrong and this isn't the MaxLine II. It is another model.

Yep, maybe I should. Orgg Vorbis time... Don't worry, if I like it, I will buy it. I usually buy the CDs I like and re-compress the songs to my liking.

VereorLordoftheRings...oh well, can't discuss taste. ;-) Glad to find back subSilver. I didn't hate the new style, but I'm so used to subSilver that I feel more like home with it. Thanks for the theme addition.

IIRC and if that drive really is the MaxLine II as I think it is, it carries a three years warranty.

Me too. That's all.

This must be the MaxLine II. It has been announced a while ago, but it wasn't available on the streets before today (if it is, haven't checked). I think it's one of Maxtor's models with an advertised MTBF of 1 million hours.

I asked about the song from Mudvayne because I'm more interested by their music style than by the rest of the songs found in the soundtrack. I'll probably buy one of their CDs. Hopefully, it will be as good as "Not Falling". I haven't found a lot of good stuff these last few years.

I saw it too, but like Steve, I would prefer to see it on an nForce 2 motherboard than on a slower KT400. It's good to see that it's possible though.

I presume this means you'll work at Comdex?

<hint> Maybe because that's how the forum points out threads with fifteen replies or more? </hint>

Thanks. Mudvayne...how the hell do you pronounce that? Mud-Vain?

Steal a sheep from the bastard who shot your friend's dog. It will cut the grass for you without complaining.

Will Rickards is user # 25 Will Rickards WT is user # 125. Which Will Rickards will be user # 225?

I'm happy for you.

5.8 seconds. Top speed electronicaly limited at 155Mph (250Km/h). The chroniclers of Automobile magazine liked its road behavior better than the Honda S2000. It is kind of normal since the Z4 is both pricier and a newer design. The main difference between both is that the S2000 needs to rev...

ARRGGGHHH! Preview Tabarnack! not Submit!

This is the description of one component of DLG Diagnostic, a component part of WD's Data Lifeguard. Unless I misread, I think Liam is trying to find a way to low level format is drive.

http://support.wdc.com/download/dlg/dlginstall_10_0.exe I suppose it would do the trick for your drive.

Just curious. Is this guy the same guy than this guy? If yes, then will we have another flavor of Will Rickards for forum user #225? I have nothing against the Will Rickards of this world BTW.

Well, cars aren't for monkeys anyway so... :wink:

I screwed the second option of the poll. Damn copy/paste habit.

I rarely droll for a car, but the Z4 definetly felt in my eye. The 3.0i version is supposed to almost equal a Porsche Boxter's road handling/fun, while costing less. The exterior design repeal many (generally old) automobile chroniclers*, but I really like it. Now if I can just find the 40K...

Opera 7 hasn't been released yet, just the first beta of Opera 7. It crashes too often to my taste on my Win2K box, and I had to hard-reboot twice so far because of it. Unlike you, I like the new look. There are a few annoyances though, which is normal for a beta release. The bookmarks'...

I am really tempted, but since it would be for the company, I have to talk about it to the other manager I'm in with. 299U$ = ~475$CDN, not bad at all. Let's say that my finger is hovering over the mouse button to click on the "click here to purchase" link on Microsoft's web site.

Isn't it you?

Found. Don't bother to reply. Thanks.

Wow! It's cheap. Can we get it from Microsoft's web site?

And the price of this marvel is... :?:

I read a while ago about problems with the Special Edition Caviar (those with 8MB cache) in RAID 5 arrays. Apparently, the way the drive uses its large cache increases the chances to corrupt the data within the array. It's far away in my memory though, don't ask me the details. Google is your...

It almost looks like if Western Digital placed two platters of different densities inside the drive. I don't think it is possible though. It just looks like.

The more I think about it, the more I think they meant an external peripheral computer component, like a printer. Anything fitting inside the enclosure should do.

Found! So it means we can get it with any non-peripheral computer hardware component. Now, what is a non-peripheral computer component? IMO, a CPU or motherboard would be ok, but what about a memory stick or a lonely hard drive?

I like that music. Anyone knows what's the title and the group that made it? Appart from the music, don't bother to watch that movie BTW. Very average.

I remember I read that someone wrote, on this forum, that Microsoft's license for their OEM copy of Windows allow it to be sold with any piece of hardware, not just with a whole new computer system. Problem is : I can't find the thread where it was written and much less where it is on...

PC2700 with an unoverclockable Duron normally working with a 200MHz DDR FSB???

These are my work shoes : But they are quite old (three years) and they are more gray than black now. Since I no longer need anti-static shoes, I plan to replace them soon with this : I like Terra boots. They are polyvalent and serve their dual-purpose well. We should start a new thread

I have started to see this unit on my pricelists. Haven't tried it yet, but the three-notch clip is a plus IMO. Only 22$CDN here, so you should be able to find it for ~15U$ or less. Not too loud and relatively light so it should be a good all-around solution. The Thermaltake Volcano 6Cu used...

Better than a Porsche or Ferrari, buy a MIG-21. You won't wait much in traffic jam with one of these, but MPG must be horrible. Even Supercaffeinated will be jealous.

We saw it. And this is before your discussion with Ekaf. Little liar monkey. :nono:

You gotta put the http:// Weird shoes.

Ok guys, which one of you add a bunch of computers to my profile? Oh wait, I still only use 5 computers. Then why do I suddently almost tripled my daily output from my past ~20-25 points to my current 55-65 points? Oh well, I won't complain for the free boost. On another subject, my main box...

Yes I know.

SiSoft Sandra 2003 has been released today ;-) Just in case anyone might have doubts about my opinion of Sandra, just let me tell that this thread is very ironical.

What would have been the proper term then? Please educate me, my brain is still only emulating English.

http://www.theinquirer.net/images/articles/iwillplacer.jpg So Bill, when do you give your aging dual Xeon 2.4GHz to a charity organism and build another box around an Intel "Placer" chipset?

Damn! I wrote a reply to this post a few hours ago, but I think I hit "preview" instead of "submit" and now my post is lost. Oh well. I was talking about the GA-7VAX. I doubt GigaByte can succeed well with one of their KT400-based board and screw the others. Since their recent SiS648 and...
