Strange Here is the result from a used Velociraptor that I'm using in the Athlon 3200+, with Gigabyte mobo. Plugged into said motherboard:

I was just thinking only one of the drives might be faster on the raid card. However, 30 gigs is what my OS and program installs run. I need the 60 gigs for space.

HMMMM That was run on the Vertex Turbo Raid 0, on the 9550 card. Here is the ATTO result: Something is bottle necking the drives, or, maybe that's as fast as the card can run the two drives. I do have two more I was thinking about adding, but, that would mean an entire system reinstall...

Handurin: That Argus stuff is really cool. WHAT did you do to max out the processor?

Thanks Handurin: I hate to think what XP Pro does to their testing. None the less, thank you very much. This gives me an excellent reference point to compare systems. The only category that is close is the Disk Mark. Your video card is much better at 2d then mine, and, the 4670 appears to be...

PASSMARK results for my system: Handurin: Makes it fun to compare to your machine. This is with Avast running.

Handruin: As you have pointed out: the 920 is avaliable for the same price as the 860, though both are about the same speed. That is what I was looking at, or something similar, when I priced it out at newegg.com. Sometimes it's better to buy a used, tested system then a new one... If I go...

Computer is pretty much done. A couple removeable drive bays to put in, deciding what to do with a couple 30 gig vertex turbos I bought, and I should pick it up this week. Handruin: Thanks for the excellent advice. This is a used computer, and, a total package. I agree the 920 is the sensible...

I follow your advice, and you make fun of me???? NICE.

Anyone have a link, or a copy of 3.5? 3.6 is incompatible with one of my favorites, Clipta...

HMMM. What would you suggest? http://www.storageforum.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8006 The above thread is for a gaming system Snowhiker is putting together. It's 900 dollars, without an SSD. Passmark score 4,214. So for me, it would still be at least 1200 dollars, with SSD's. I've wondered...

Anyone have a copy of 3.5 they could email me? One of my favorite add ons won't work with 3.6.

10 years since I got a new computer, for me, and not work, etc... VERY EXCITED... MY cpu setup rates around 880 on that website. This one should be over 6000 cpu test wise. THAT is a huge improvement... and, nothing else is going to be slower, in fact, EVERYTHING will be much faster.... Mad...

That's the OS raid 0, right? I've found the numbers go about in half with ATTO when you actually put something on the array, like an OS and work. Still, not changing my mind. David, what do you format your raid 0 arrays with, block size? That's why I start at 64, by the way...

HMMMM. Can you run ATTO on the two X-25M's??? Thanks GS

Perhaps HD tach isn't up to it for SSD's? ATTO gives much higher numbers. Seasonic 700 Watt power supply it is. Thanks for that suggestion...

Thanks David. GS

He never mentioned what interface he was going to use for this setup. I agree, by the way.

If you are after a PCI card, the AMCC 3ware 9550SX is it, period.

ROFL! That's funny. I don't care who you are...

I'm using the force.... It tells me PCI-X????????????????????????????

I really like AVAST...

Would you give me a guess on what kind of interface this raid card is going to be used for?

HMMM. 1500 dollars for the 5570 is a bit rich for my blood. My monitor is a Samsung 21.5" next to a Vizio 37" XVT. Seasonics generally should work. I think this one is 500-600. Don't remember. Also the Supermicro boards only support one i7 cpu, at least the ones I'm looking at. Two of those...

HMMM. What's Tea's favorite beverage? Mt. Gay Rum?????

Guess I was not clear. I like the form factor for my box. Fits under my desk. Plenty of cooling, and the heat keeps the cat happy. I didn't really plan on it, but, the Vizio 37" HST makes me want to build a faster cpu box that has more head room then my current system. Supermicro has some...

Hi Getting the bug. What motherboard would you suggest, considering I have a PCI-X raid card, actually two, and a scsi box I like for storage, and, what OS do you use, XP Pro? I didn't think it would support 4 cores, and 4 more virtual cores? Also, do these numbers reflect actual speed results...

Been using AVAST, and, I like it. I like an easy interface to scan certain files, constantly, manually. I wish it had an OFF button...I also like not having another firewall, since I'm using windows, and Peerblock...

The above feature is NOT in the trial version.

http://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN2149

Hi I've been trying to open a port in the current trial version of eset. No joy. Is this feature avaliable, and just not useable in the trial version? If not, any other suggestions for AV, that allows using Vuze?

Perhaps that should read: Maxipad? The Mac is now based on the COOL scale. As long as the Mac loyalists believe, and buy, Apple will sell computers. This thing just looks like a big iPhone, for 500 bucks, and, it's sort of an expensive, slow, Netbook? Nothing new. If it looks cool, it is...

WHY would I want to get the bad version, play it, to find out it's the bad version, by playing it through PowerDVD? Also, The Punisher disk wouldn't play at all. I mean not even load, or have XP even see it was in the drive...

You've been using Linux too much;-)

Thank you for reminding me of all the installs I did that didn't work;-). It's coming back, sort of like a memory of a really painful breakup with a girl... I will say an SSD makes the swapping much less painful in XP Pro...

One HUGE plus is I finally have a screen I can read the entire history of National Geographic on. Due to in part being a port from the Mac, and, seriously lacking normal functionality, on a normal screen it's nearly impossible to get the page large enough to read the type, and, when you do, it's...

Would someone explain the logic of having a swapfile on the same disk setup? Do you NEED a different partition for the swapfile? Sorry I missed the motherboard/form factor issue. My bad. Turned out to be a great thread on Linux distros, and history.

WOW! I feel your pain. Ubuntu has installed on a couple laptops, and been useable. That said, I REALLY wonder why you don't go with a hardware raid card? I'm pretty sure the card I paid 75 bucks for, 9500, IIRC, 8 ports, would do in about 5 minutes what you are trying to do, but, I'm not sure...

I'm looking at two boxes, and, they don't mention mpeg2 at all. I loved the 5th Element, and would really like to see a decent version of it on Bluray... What does the good one say to indicate the picture quality, off the box if possible.

Thanks. I've only found one disk I can't play at all: The Punisher. Other then that, screwing with the settings, I've been able to play pretty much everything.

So far, the article reads like a total logical failure: "The students who viewed luxury goods were significantly more likely than the second group to endorse production of a new car that might pollute the environment, launch a new software with bugs, or market a video game that might induce...

With the SSDs, watching a bluray movie, ripping, AnyDVD, another, doing this, and, cpu usage is mainly 25-30%, with high spikes on P1 at 50%, and, 1.15 gb pf usage.

Two 30 gig Vertex Turbos, 309 bucks, Tiger.direct. I want to max out my card, and, the bus. That will give me 120 gigs for a c drive, at 255 mb/sec or better. See what that does. So far, they only confirm what I found with SCSI, access time RULES. I wish Eugene was still around... I ran...
