Hi I was considering setting up a Raid 0 X-25M in a PCI-X 1x 64-bit 133/100/66MHz PCI-X (3.3V) slot. Probably 4 drives, eventually. Any suggestions?

Where's the popcorn icon when I need it???? Merc: What board are you using? David, what are you considering?

Current usage: Half way through the month: 257 of 450 used Nights and weekends 116 of 5000 Rollover 0 of 2170. This on a AT&% 450 Rollover. Apparently the data plan is 15 a month. The rollover works for me, since Verizon was the same cost, with no rollover, and some months I went over the 350...

Nice systems. Buck, I really liked the one you setup for 1500 dollars on your website. REALLY wondering why 3 SSD's are the sweet spot on these systems. My experience has been either two or four drives for Raid 0. Guess the SSD's are a bit different? Also, are you using an actual raid card, or...

"# No user-swappable battery. Batteries fail and it's ludicrous to have to visit a service center a.k.a. Apple store or ship your phone somewhere to get a battery replaced. And it costs $79 when other phones like the Pre have user-replaceable batteries for around $40. # Apple's capricious...

Pricing Sprint AIRAVE Base Station - $99.99/each (requires activation at time of purchase and subscription to an AIRAVE plan. Excludes taxes.) AIRAVE Enhanced Coverage Charge - $4.99/mo. (required per AIRAVE unit)** Single Line Unlimited Calling Plan (optional) - $10/mo. per account** Multi-Line...

Hadn't realized the Palm Pre and Sprint package came in at a reasonable price. AT&T, through Costco, offers data for 20 bucks a month, plus the phone. They kind of screw existing customers, not giving a big rebate on the phone, at least not as big as to switchers. I think I'll check with Costco...

Hi I'm considering a Samsung Insprion, or , shudder, was looking at an iPhone. What are you all using for phones, phone plans, and why? My considerations are a larger screen then my current Samsung, and, I'm really debating going for the whole internet on my phone for 20 bucks extra deal...

The following IP's have been blocked by Peer Guardian 2. I'm wondering WHY these folks are sending out stuff in the first place? Anyone know why they would be trying to acess my computer? 2009-10-03 20:04:02;AT&T Global Network Services;192.168.1.100:50000;32.138.106.53:37045;UDP;Blocked...

Thanks for the antenna web link. It verified what I had found before: We had one, small analog 28 station in range prior to the change, and, with Digital, we now have 6 signals possible. Monitor wise, I'm waiting. My 19" is in and out, and, I'll wait until it dies, or, I see a really great...

I see one reason is to close a particular port when your done using it, so you secure your computer, and, it's slightly easier then using the hardware router...

You bring up some good points. The issue is once you get used to having two monitors, it is not fun going back to one. Rabbit ears for HD? I do know we got no reception with the old type of signal, actually 3, fuzzy channels. Has HD changed the signal type, making it stronger, and, making free...

Pradeep: Why get the tuner? I'm not a cable TV guy. I only watch shows off Hulu, and, a few others. Last time we tried it, I got cable for the Olympics. I watched a boxing tape that was about 90 minutes, and, they put enough adds into it to make it run 3 plus hours. I figure they should pay ME...

If you have a firewall setup through your router, is there any reason to run windows firewall?

It's actually really easy to change the IP address. Get into the router settings, change the MAC address, and you change the IP.

Hi Has anyone used the HannsG monitors? Software any good? Similar to Samsung? http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11236988&whse=BC&topnav=&browse=&lang=en-US My Sony 19" is finally going pink... Any suggestions? It's either that, or the Samsung 24" for 199 is looking good, and...

I found the initial Beta of 7 to be real snappy. The next one was slower. Might this be the reason for a different perception of speed? I don't see much reason to switch from XP Pro, or 2003. I'm sure MSFT will come up with something that will force me to move to 7, probably internet related...

Well, does it work???

The perfect page file drive? Can you use the memory as a page file?

So, the company that owns, pretty much, the SSD market, is going to and undercut a highly profitable product they produce????:confused: What also kills me is why it's so cheap to put on a motherboard, yet so expensive to have in an SSD drive... Also, some of the other articles point out that...

Didn't one of the links go to a test site on SSD's that agrees with you, but, has some sort of testing tool that they are sold on?

Udaman: I did all the stuff you are talking about. What it came down to in the end was guys that made the market fluctuate by dumping large amounts of money into companies. The best way for them to maximize profit is to look for some company that looks good on paper, but, has an undervalued...

Hi Anyone using, or tried this stuff? Comments? Good, bad, and the Ugly? Thanks GS

Flyby: My point is simple: The value of a stock has little to do with the actual company. What it is controlled by is the amount of money someone sinks into the stocks. PERIOD. You are playing a rich man's game, and, they have no care for the company, only making money on trading the stocks.

Udaman is raving about Apple stock prices. I thought I'd bring up my experience with stocks. Prior to 2000, I put some money in stocks, and, with the crash, pretty much lost it. My memories are: Apple: 3 bucks a share, almost bankrupt. Maybe less. It was trading like a penny stock, and, no...

No problems now. The 9.3 ATI drivers dropped it to about 50%

What a fun morning. Newest flash player helped. My 1650 now has the 9.3 driver, that shows up as an 8.59 driver on checking. Stupid and confusing numbering system. I must say, everytime someone says change drivers with an ATI card, it's usually a pain in the arse, and, not a huge difference...

Anyway to play flash with another player, through Firefox?

What type of media is this? It's playing reasonably well on the Dual Xeon box, with ATI 1650. Using between 75% and 99% processors. Appears Ad Blocker was using quite a bit of CPU as well, and, it's better after removing it.

It appears to be a software problem. Neither Firefox 3.5.2 or Internet Explorer 8 are capable of playing a downloaded 1080p file from MSFT's website. I'm using the 1080p version of Step into Liquid, and, it plays fine with Windows Media Player classic, slide shows with Firefox, Internet Explorer...

Hi I've been trying to run this site: http://www.cbs.com/hd/video.php?cid=&pid=3v5CZ3DSDFwFEwtQITsTVHLREJdJM6o0&play=true&offset=4&show=csi_miami in HD it's running about 83-100% of the processor. It's ok, seems to be pretty good. When I try and run at 1080p it runs at pretty much 100%...

No, as a former Mac 10 year user, I can remember many 3rd party software writers put out of business by Apple. Write a decent ap for the mac, they would either copy it, and modify it just a little, so they could put it into their software, either OS, or for sale, and run you out of business...

Anyone found a test that puts SCSI 15k'S, in raided configuration, against the SSD's?

When I shut everything down, and back up, it still shows the same IP address. Is the firefox add on showing my IP behind my router firewall? How would I see what addresses are present outside our firewall, or, what the router firewall presents as an IP address?

That would be my thought. However, a cheap electronic item, and, everyday you aren't really turning off, your blacking it out by pulling the power plug out, or turning off the power source. Can't be real good for it??? My understanding was they lasted longer protected by a surge protector.

For example: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/07/21/critical_ddwrt_router_vuln/

Time: I went with the 9600GT. Some good reading in there. Keep in mind ATI has a class action lawsuit against them. The class action suit is settled by pretty much you get a free ATI card if you bought one in the time period they advertized the cards worked for HD, since they didn't, IIRC. In...

Hi I've been wondering how to hide your IP address from outside probes. http://www.ip-adress.com/hide_my_ip/ ? Seems expensive. Use a proxy server? Suggestions?

Welcome back Buck! How's life? Greg

Quick cure? Just look at Intel pricing on the SSD's. Also, look at the prices on the highend Xeons. Without AMD, they would be twice or three times the current prices...

For some reason, after install, everything was faster...

Thank you Doug. I would also like to apologize to all of you for my posts last night. You have all been wonderful, for a VERY long time, and, I'm sorry I let my personal situation get involved in our discussions. I thank you all for your tolerance, and love. God Bless. GS

Good call, Sam. Thanks

Thank you.

Have you tried a Raid 0 with 15K's and compared that?

HMMM. I've been looking for something that would show the source of some of the annoying Flash adds, etc., so I could block them in Firefox. I gather I can do this with this program, and Firefox?
