I rather agree. If you are not overclocking your favorites list probably doesn't include ABIT or ASUS as your #1 favorite. I'm on the fence at the moment on an ASUS A8N-SLI Premium for my workstation and I'm having reservations on committing.

Ditto only with 3Com firewall

Anyone been contacted that their backordered stuff is on the way?

Good point Pradeep, Looking cloesly at some pictures I am noticing that some of those PCIEx4 slots have the back end open so you can still put in a wider x8 or x16 card. I am simply hoping that they realize that there isn't a real need for a HBA to be more than say PCIEx2, even a PCIEx1 would be...

Triple 12v rails, awesome: DC Output: Output: +5V @ 30A +12V1 @ 16A +12V2 @ 16A +12V3@ 36A +12V1,V2,V3 = 66A (70A pk.) -12V @ 0.8A +3.3V @ 30A +5VSB @ 3.5A continuous = 1000W peak = 1100W I am not even going to look the price of that thing up.

Hmm both the ice age trailer and worlds fastest indian in 720P result in 50-80% CPU utilization on a 2.8P4 with Matrox G400 MAXX 32MB video card. I didn't realize it was that bad on the CPU, plays smooth though.

Piyono: Can you give us a link to a film you can't play, now I am curious to see if I can duplicate this. Mercutio: Come to think of it the only time I use the quicktime player is on the apple trailer site and some other very obscure occasional sites.

I view the apple movie trailer site all the time, but I use the actual quicktime player to view them. I am not aware of what the actual file format is, but I have not run into any speed issues even viewing them on my server which has an old Matrox G400 MAXX 32MB video card. Try using the...

I did run across this for informational purposes: Feature nForce4SLI X16 nForce4SLI PCI Express # Lanes/Config AMD: 38 Lanes/Flexible 20 lanes/Flexible http://www.nvidia.com/page/nforce4_family.html So I guess theoretically any SLI board...

Looks like my quest is over: ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Manual Page 6-9: -When in SLI mode Blue slot is PCIEx8 and Black slot is PCIEx8, x4, x2, or x1 for Graphics card (multiple monitor or SLI) RAID or LAN card. -When in Single video card Blue PCIEX16 is active and Black PCIE is dead. -This...

Hopefully we will see regular old SAS/SCSI HBA's in PCIEx4 or less. PCIEx1 is 250MB/s right? That's adequate, but I think they will come out in a PCIEx2 probabbly.

Here we go, found this: Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe (chipset NVIDIA nForce™4 SLI X16) From the manual: • In Single Card mode, you may use either the blue or black slot for PCI Express x16 graphics cards. • In SLI mode, the PCI Express x16 slots work at the full bandwidth of PCI Express x16 on each...

Updated list. Please note that many of these boards also have additional PCIEx1 slots not mentioned here. Normal mode one PCIEx16 other slot DEAD *OR* two PCIEx8 in SLI mode -Gigabute GA-K8N Ultra-SLI -Gigabute GA-K8NXP-SLI -Tyan Tomcat K8E-SLI (S2866) -Epox EP-9NPA3 SLI manual not posted on...

This really blows, you have to dig this out of the users manual most of the time, usually not posted on the product page. Anyway what I have so far for the Nvidia SLI chipset: Normal mode one PCIEx16 other slot DEAD *OR* two PCIEx8 in SLI mode -Gigabute GA-K8N Ultra-SLI -Gigabute GA-K8NXP-SLI...

Yes, I am not sure what difference I would see for video at PCIEx16 and x8, kind of like the difference between AGP4x and AGP8x? ie, not a lot? As far as the true dual PCIEx16 boards I would sure like to know what does that, I will keep looking.

What are the options for a socket 939 CPU with one PCIEx16 slot and one at least PCIEx8 slot? I'm thinking of adding a SCSI card down the line. Would like to get something withing a month or two for my workstation. Nvidia: I don't anticipate using SLI but I was considering a SLI motherboard to...

Yes, the PCP&C is rather noisy. I will try to keep seasonic in the back of my head for the future desktops.

Another vote for PC Power and Cooling, have them in a couple servers with stacks of HD's and never had a problem with one. I am pretty surprised they didn't get more votes. Because I have a couple Antec cases I have their power supplies in those computers, should be fine for most of the desk...

Would like to ditch legacy PATA too. I think the optical drives are just waiting on the native SATA chips to be dirt cheap, I agree the margins on these things are just scary thin and they just don't want to upset that.

Thanks for posting your experiences Explorer, good news on the speed, low temp and noise. Some questions: What motherboard are you using this in / were you able to put it in a PCI64 or PCI-X slot? Did you switch the drives firmware over to "static segment allocation" For single user...

I was curious about the cabling too, looks similar to to SATA multilane cabling I guess? Picture in the manual page 23 http://download.adaptec.com/pdfs/installation_guides/SAS_48300_Installation_and_Users_Guide.pdf Looks like it has built in adapters for regular 4 pin molex power connectors...

I just got the call from Naudia (sp?) from Adaptec, aparntly the adaptor is the part that is backordered and they will go ahead and ship the disks now. The adaptor should be backordered for about two weeks.

Woh bit of a correction there, those are 36Gig drives (ST336754SS), not 73Gig (ST373454SS) as above. Pricewatch prices, non-reputable dealers: $273 - Seagate ST336754SS x2 $363 - Adaptec 2180800 ------------------------------------- $909 - Total Still not to bad

I am not a big decision maker for the systems we use but I sure can put a bug in the customers ear. I am going to try for the deal, hopefully my work email and credit card will make things look legit.

I forget exactly what a joule is but those surge supressors certainly don't last forever before they turn into regular power splitters. Much better to have a true on line UPS in my opinion.

I think todays useful laptops with batteries cdrom, power cord and floppy drive in the bag along with some extra tools and stuff I need are plain way to heavy to carry in a hand or even a shoulder bag for more than a block or two in the city. I picked up a $12 Parkers laptop backpack to make the...

My major hangup before was the way it would alphabetize my bookmarks and mix the folders up with the links. I want the folders to be grouped first and the links to be grouped second and then both to be alphabetized. You know, the way everything else works? There is no automatic way to...

I got riped off on some super cheap gurucell from eBay. Now I just buy regular old Energizer from just about anywhere locally. They survive really well in my camera.

There are a couple utility CD's that run around the news groups by the name of emergency repair disk (ERD) or Hirens boot CD and others. I "think" the latest Hirens boot CD has USB support for all its apps. Worth a shot anyway. All of these support CD's include ghost and partition magic (floppy...

I mean wow, I can't believe you can't mark the bootable array on these cards. Can you do that in the newer 9000 series cards? Promise has had this feature on their cards sense the start... All problems solved though. I put the cables back to where they were and it now boots again. To make the...

First of all I have a server with a 3Ware 7500-8 (PATA) and disk configurations as follows: Two 60Gig Western Digital (mirror - boot drive) Four 160Gig Samsung Spinpoints (RAID5 - storage) One 80Gig Western Digital (on motherboard header - scratch drive) I have the array do a verify weekly and...

Your local bookseller is going to undersell you, that's how they make their profit. On the other hand it's going to take a bit of work and time making an auction or amazon selling, plus shipping and all the associated stuff in selling to make that extra buck. This can turn out to be a hassle...

I really like my fastmail.us account. Use it almost exclusively for personal email now.

Haven't seen an article in a long time, what happened?

Ditto the 720 or so and above. I had a 763 I think when I bought my condo and my loan officer said anything in the mid 700's is considered excellent.

I'll take a stab at this one: [/b]

Stereodude: Mostly I like a big zoom to keep me completely out of digital zoom, don't like that quality reduction at all. I do find myself going into the zoom quite a bit here and there, especially out sailing or stadium seating etc. I was seriously considering a Nikon D50 and recycling my...

LunarMist: Yes that was something I was pleased to read in most of the reviews lately, some people are getting close to or over 400 pictures out of a couple AA rechargeables. Either my batteries are crap or my S1 IS isn't good at all on four AA rechargeables with maybe say 50 per charge. Will...

Hmm, if I lower my sights a little bit I wind up with this: Sony Cyber-shot H1 With a good idiot mode and my not liking to play with my photos on the computer afterwards that's a big plus for me. What is considered an adequate resolution for full page 8.5x11 prints? And 11x17?

I am looking to move up to a better camera. I currently have a Canon S1 IS which is 3.2MP 10X zoom and has image stabilization. Right now I feel this camera falls short on image quality (has that purple edge around high contrast areas) and of course with 3.2MP it's hard to get nice enlarged...

Partition Magic?

Server: Intel 2.8C P4, Supermicro P4SCT motherboard (intel i875 with CSA Pro1000 Gigabit LAN and PCI-X), 1Gig DDR PC3200 Corsair Value memory, 480Gig level RAID 5 array and 80Gig RAID 1 array using a 3Ware 7500-8 controller, four Samsung Spinpoint SP1614N for storage and two WD600LB for OS...

Oh, and I did use htpasswd.exe to create a password file. I didn't put a file extention on the file though, does it need it you think?

Thanks, now have some real progress. This works: <VirtualHost *:33000> DocumentRoot "E:/Public Files/" ServerName scottjal.ath.cx ErrorLog "logs/fileaccesserror.log" #AuthType Basic #AuthName "Please Login" #AuthUserFile "bin\user\pass" #Require user user1 </VirtualHost> After haveing...

OK, I created my password file and added in the below to the httpd.conf Listen 33000 <VirtualHost *:33000> DocumentRoot E:/Public Files/ ServerName scottjal.ath.cx ErrorLog logs/fileaccesserror.log AuthType Basic AuthName "Please Login" AuthUserFile Apache2\bin\user Require user user1...

I don't need the user group setup, only going to have a couple users. I just didn't realize they stored the user name in the CFG file itself instead of increpted somewhere else along with the passwords. This whole thing is more for easy access for me on the road (like today! and whats up with...

Ah, thanks. So something like this here? As my IP may change can I specify wild cards for the virtual host IP or a DNS resolution? What is this "require user rbowen sungo" thing? I didn't see an explination for that in the docs I glanced at. Thanks for the fast help, I will look into this more...

Second site will be fine. Don't care about a seperate process at all, just has to meet the above. Poor choice in words I guess.

I would like to run a second instance of apache on a machine already running a pretty much default install. New instance would be: -on a different port -have a base directory on a different drive -be password protected, nothing crazy like ssl etc, just keep the general runn of the mill people...

Hmm, duno. I use Beyond Compare between my memory stick and computer for synchronizing in case it gets corrupted but I don't think that program will help you here. Might want to give it a shot though, it has features I don't know about in there.
