    Decided to use the 450 P3 as a server, and experiment box...

    In retrospect, taking a working, favorite PC, and trying new stuff with it is not the brightest thing I've done this week. Think the Doctor should have operated on another animal, rather then Frankenstein first. Plus, it really helps having another box around when you screw up the one your...

    GRRR: Trying to install both Adaptec UW card, and ATTO LVD..

    Having fits. I've got an UW adaptec 2940 card, and I'm trying to connect my external raid box to my pc. It was a mac box. When I boot, it says it's booting off the ATTO card, but, it's changing my hard drive ID from C to D. Can't figure out why. I've moved the scsi ID for the 2940 to 15...

    Voodoo 5500: worth replacing?

    Hi Is it really worth replacing my 5500? I don't do much but internet, some video, trailers, etc. email, some Quake 3, but not much, and lots of text and graphics. I'm after either a really noticeable improvement in graphics quality on this Hitachi 802 21 inch, in text, or a great increase in...

    What to do with a G3 Mac, and old computers, like P3, 450mhz

    Hi I've been watching ebay on G3, 333mhz towers, and for the amount of money people pay, it's almost not worth selling. I never use the thing, except if I'm teaching school. Then, since schools use mostly macs, the old os, old little programs, etc. and the Lombard, make a very nice...

    Worst movie you have paid money for...

    Legally Blonde 2. I liked the first movie, but the second makes the character look like a complete idiot, and, is a blatant rehash of the first. Did the script writers have like 12 hours to write the script? THIS MOVIE REALLY SUCKS. S PS A REAL INSULT to bright, pretty women that manage to...

    IN retrospect, doesn't IDE, and the computer HD makers suck?

    Seriously: Here, nearly 3 years later, we finally have 10k ide drives. For 3 years, Davin and Eugene have been saying how great ide drives are, when, in fact, compared to existing 15k cheetahs, they seriously suck. While all the IDE guys have been sucking eggs, changing ide drives, my 4 x 15k...

    "Alice Capone" ....

    Hi I have ended up as Dad to a feral cat, "Alice Capone". She's a little less then two pounds, about a foot long, and smarter then a whip. Black, with white spats, and, proving the theory that cats are VERY inquestive. I think, part feral, perhaps part wild, like wild cat, lynx, she's VERY...

    Can windows run THREE scsi cards????

    Another thread got me thinking a bit. I currently have a ATTO dual card in my pc, and a 29xx scsi 2 card for my cdrom drives. I'm wondering if windows can take one more scsi card, like an uw card, for an external raid box? I'm asking because whenever I plug in an additional DVD ide player, I...

    HI On this Dell, with one quantum LM, and, 2000 sp3, 384 mb of ram, the machine is hitting the hard disk all the time, and it really slows down websurfing. Any suggestions on the internet options settings for IE to minimize this? s

    SP 3 vs. SP 2? Slower hard drive speeds?

    Anybody have a look at the current thread in SR? SCSI With XP? I did a test with adaptec's scsi test, and it gave me 108 mb/sec on my raid with SP 2, and about 90 mb/sec with SP 3. Other then that , 3 feels a bit slower. Maybe 10-20%. Nothing you would notice, on this machine, until you...

    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...
