HIS is fine by me, I've owned a few of them.

Ah, thanks. They didn't mention that on the radio :rant:

Seconded.

Cisco bought VMWare? Where is the benefit/overlap there?

exactly

Honestly, I have no aliases (I spend enough time here as it is ;)) If you compare writing styles and posting times/dates, it's pretty clear that [Edit] is a new one from Gary.

Gary == all of the above. Merc is Merc, no aliases. No one has even close to the same writing style. AFAIK, CougTek has no aliases, either. Of course, I am BBH ;)

Corvair == Wavemaker == [edit] == at least 5 others.

Corvair != CougTek

All of my arrays do over 120MB/s, even on Vista ;)

Gary seconded

And you will be playing BF2...how exactly? ;)

For one workgroup, the speed was an issue. Not wanting to go with a full-blown copier-with-ethernet, I pooled some LJ4s ;)

Seconded. I deploy used LJ4s to the nastiest industrial sites. With regular cleaning, they never actually die. The driver is also my default of choice, most stable ever. If all that is needed is B&W single-sided output, I usually don't even bother with other drivers.

I wouldn't replace all my drives with SSDs, I think the 750GB drives will be around for quite a while yet. But the 10,000RPM low-capacity raptors could easily be replaced with SSDs. If I could do a 1-to-1 replacement that would get rid of 5 10k drives, and reduce my heat/energy needs significantly.

Consistent? No, that would be too easy ;) It has happened to me 3-5 times out of the last ~30 posts. I'm not all that worried about it.

My concern is that a 44-pin converter and a PATA-SATA converter combined might not play well.

I'm waiting for my favorite RAID card vendor to start selling these. Sounds like what you are after. But if I can get the new SSDs in SATA I don't see a performance advantage over what I have now.

mubs, I know on Cable Modems you need your MAC registered with them because the network has multiple users, but on DSL each user has their own circuit. I don't think I'll need to register it with them, but if I do it shouldn't be that hard.

The Netopia 3346 modem/routers that PacBell (now ATT) provide really suck. They crash regularly, brick often, and just don't respond the rest of the time. It's even worse now that Motorola has purchased Netopia, support is down the tubes. I need some replacements. I need a single DSL connection...

I'm waiting for the second generation and an SATA interface to come out.

What are you running? SAS?

I don't need hot-swap at all, and all the drives are pretty much working all the time so powering them down isn't needed either. I typically have some downloads going, winamp drawing from the data array, a game (either playing or minimized to the start bar), and of course the OS.

I actually am aiming for more spacing between the drives than I get using either the Supermicro hot swap or the P180's lower drive cage. I think the Zalman coolers (one per 5.25" bay) will give ample spacing between them. The heatpipes also increase the surface area, and that has to be a good...

Well, I happen to have a P180 chassis lying around as well. So many choices.

I wish. I'd even be willing to pay SCSI/SAS prices...I just don't want another controller in my system.

The 942 looks like a nice case; I've used the Supermicro SATA hot swap thingies before with great success. Unfortunately, they do nothing to dampen vibrations and the stock fan is really, really loud. The fan is also not a standard size and if you do put a slower fan in, you also need to play...

Damn, dupe...sorry.

Mark and I had the same problems. I'm sure Handruin is looking into it. ;)

Well, I got this case, and I'm not happy with it. I have 11 drives installed now, and the closest noise/temp balance I can achieve is enough fan noise to muffle the HDDs and 50C drive temps. Neither is acceptable IMHO. The primary issue is that the drive area has a crappy fan arrangement; a...

All the Seagate RMAs are refurbs as well. AFAIK, WD is the only company to send me new drives from RMAs.

I haven't used Samsung drives in quite a while (capacity issues), but IIRC, the Nidec motors were quieter than the JVCs.

We are the most populous state and by far the most profitable. This is our natural place ;) Not to derail, but I think one primary with all candidates (regardless of party) simultaneously nationwide would make a lot of sense. Then we get an election between the top two.

Directed to me? Your post looks fine. You've now had enough concise/to-the-point posts that you don't get a remark every time ;)

I had the same problem last night posting in the "More Vista" thread. I found that using the "Advanced" editor worked, but when using the quick editor caused the same error Mark is describing. This also happened when doing an edit (until I used the "Advanced" page to edit).

Because they grow corn in Iowa, and that is the first primary state.

Not that I think you are a mouthpiece for anyone, but can you cite a source?

Out of curiosity, did the other Intel chips go down as much as expected, or did they also do a bounce?

Yep. It seems a lot of people told their friends to buy on July 22nd, and either didn't notice that they price wasn't where they expected, or couldn't wait any longer even though they would pay more.

Considering routers are basically as inexpensive as hubs, I'd put a router in and let it's DHCP/DNS work for you. No special settings on the workstations, no remembering IP addresses, just a plug-n-go situation. Plus if they ever do get an internet connection, it is that much easier to transition.

Well, thanks for the inside scoop, Coug. Looks like Intel got what they wanted with their press leak. If you don't mind, put in a word here when the price resumes it's downward slide.

I run it because I need to support it. I know XP better than the back of my hand, I can walk people through whatever needs to be done from memory. I've been able to do this for a long time because I started using XP as my full-time workstation when it was RC1. Now I need to know Vista, so I run...

I know EAC has user selectable degrees of error correction. If your optical drive is one on their special list, it has an even more paranoid redundant scanning technique.

Until all of the major companies needs are supplied.

That definatly looks like a power situation to me. I recently had an Antec 550W power supply in my system, and after adding a few more drives, experienced exactly what you are describing. It would boot correctly every 4th or 5th try, and warm reboots worked most of the time. I upgraded to a...

Q6600 still @ $375 Coug? What can you manage on a Q6600?

I believe both CDex and EAC will do error-correction on scratched disks. Or do you mean re-mastering older recordings?

Considering running EAC involves pressing one button, I don't know how much easier it could be...

I was replying to:

...and I'm running CS3 fine on Vista Ultimate 32-bit.
