    rofl great rat story Kava, by the way, eats bunches of bananas. Her keeper would throw her about 10 at a time, and she was adept at grabbing them in her mouth, and swallowing them quickly, without the trunk. Didn't chew them much, either. Her trunk was pretty amazing. I'm sure an elephant...

    ESS sound cards. 10 bucks and they work in 2000

    Hi I've had good luck with ESS 1968(IIRC) or some such number, sound cards in 2000. For some reason, they just work, and without conflicts and problems, with older hardware, that I've had with Phillips sound cards. Who makes them, and why aren't they advertized more? Thanks gs

    440Bx chipset and AMI Raid card

    Hi I've figured out the cards work, and don't need a dedicated slot. They have a really nice annoying alarm, to let you know if the drives have failed. They are LVD, and, I'm wondering if using these with a 440 BX chipset is somehow chipset limited? In other words, are the 440 BX chipseted...

With minimal settings, and the 16 mb cache, in raid 0, the same setup goes into cache reads, with about 60 mb/sec larger block...

    Best Mac Apps

    In my opinion, you have the best os going, if it's 8.6.. Both 8.5 and 8.6 for usb support worked well. They are also the only os that you can use a couple of my favorite tweaks with. "Finder Heap Fixer" is a very old app that allows you to change the Finder memory. This is a really great...

    WD drive with 8MB cache - is the hype justified?

    Tannin: I agree "As a rule of thumb, I'm in favour of putting the pagefile on a seperate drive, even a moderately low-performance one, but it seems to matter less and less as we fit more and more RAM. Back in 16MB days, it was vital!" One of the machines around here is a P2 400 mhz, Intel...

    Plant tanks are tanks with actual, living, growing, plants The plants convert the waste and by products of the fish into, I believe, oxygen, and, feed themselves from it as well.

    Planets are a big deal... OK First off, learn about plants, and the benefits they have for tanks. Consider plant tanks, since they get rid of lots of toxins.
