I like this thread. The information really helps, but, it doesn't address one, big issue for me. If you have an AGP slot, what cards will work int it? To use the newer video cards, will they work in the AGP slot on an Asus A7M? Stuff like that. When I see Matrox cards with fill rates nearly...

What does Prescott bring to the table that would make it worth waiting for? Dual cores on the same chip? Do Xeons have the same features? gs

I'm wondering if my hard drive setup is the real culprit. I wonder if one of the cleaning utilities, or a bug, got in, and deleted a few essential files neccessary for 2000 to boot. It was a corrupted .cab file, IIRC. Also, the floppie drive may not be functioning right, or that neccessary...

The other problem is the case I have is full. No more more drive bays. Could go external firewire one of these days, or, I've been looking at removaable drives for backup. Are the DVD RW format a viable solution for large storage? The firewire writer I've been using is really cool, allowing...

Mercutio: It is. The problem is migrating to the new standards, and most of the mobos don't have many pci slots, and, those that do, usually don't have that many 32 bit/33mhz slots. Machine currently has 5 pci 32/33mhz pci slots. Ethernet, and firewire, and scsi, could all be taken care of on...

Tyan vs. Supermicro... Well, the discussion goes on. I've lost my entire data, on array, and I'm not sure why. I'm considering an upgrade, but can't make up my mind. I currently have, in PCI slots, an atto UL3d, Adaptec AIC-7850, Texas insturments Firewire card, Philips PSC 706 audio card...

The company intro sort of says why they designed such monsters. On site video editing, on location. Looks like they might also be using solid state ram disks with the machines. Wonder what they use those for? Storing video you are working on? gs

I have the Canon lense. But, need a decent memory card, reader, etc. Total investment is in the 1300-1500 dollar range, in Kalifornia. Arnold: Get rid of sales tax. gs

Well, that and I did found, and head, our high school photopgraphy club, and, we've always had SLR's in the family since I was in grade school. My mother used to buy Nikon's, and I still like them, though it seems Canon has surpassed them, at this point, valuewise, and performance wise. I've...

HMMMM. MY ARRAY rocks. 4 X15's on dual channels of an atto dual channel card. 110 MB/sec, and, I think that's maybe bus limited. IDE raid?? Well,... Forget about it!!! Firewire raid I'm keeping an open mind. With an X 15 for a boot drive, who cares? It's a raid in a single drive. gs

Delmonicos are great steaks, if you can find em. You guys are making me more hungry then I was before, and that's not good. :mrgrn: Guess I did ref for 7 hours, and only had a can of tuna, and a tamale. gs

I'm used to seeing killers in ties, after being in the DA's office in SF for 6 months. I errored on the side of too many killers... gs :jumpin:

I bid on ebay for a sony, but I'm glad I was just outbid. I really like my Canon, and it's lense. Buying a digital body, with high resolution, and being able to use a 1.5 multiplier on the lense, and, being able to do serious, high density, large pictures, sounds like a dream. I think I'll...

You buy tri tips for around 4-5 bucks a pound, at Costco. With Filet going for 15 $ a pound, and New York $10 dollars a pound, it's enough to make one a vegitarian... By the way, the trip tip was about 2 pounds, and I think I went through about 10-12 oz. Fantastic. Marinate in Lea &Perrins...

Well, I couldn't figure out a way to boot from floppies, and fix the existing operating system. It required dual installation of the UL3d drivers, so the os could see the raid array. Once I figured that out, I decided I would reformat in ntfs, and start again. I'm not sure why the cd drives...

I took the settings from the documents provided. Apparently when the device was installed, the rpc wasn't set. I just did that, terminated the drive, changed slots with the card, and restarted. The card shows up, in device manager, the DVD player shows up as 'unknown' but working properly in...

One other quick note. The adaptec card is supposed to be either a 2906 or 2930. Is the Aic-7850 driver right for this device.? gs

I don't think this is a scsi problem, but a mother board problem. I have two open slots, and I've connected both a firewire card, and a scsi Adaptec AIC-7850 card. I've put both in these two slots, and niether one works. Windows 2000 has drivers for the card, and for the drives, both the...

I'm trying to reconfigure my computer, amd 1.4 ghz, Athlon, and add firewire, and change the scsi setups. However, I can't find the jumper settings anywhere for the Pioneer DVD player. I have had problems writing with the Plexwriter 12/10/32s, and Roxio adaptec Easy CD creator 4.0, and, my...

I'm trying to setup a way to move large video files from school to home, to store. I have 3 jazz drives, and one of them works fine with the mac. In fact, all three work fine with the mac. For some reason, they suck eggs on my pc slow card, even when termination is on, and they are on proper...

Sony mvc-fd51? That's what the school has, and it works just fine, printing to a floppy, that both mac and pc can see. Plus, the price is right. I borrow, and take pics of the kids work. Canon later, after Christmas. gs

Canon Eos is a 6mb pixel camera. I know myself. I'd buy one for 500 bucks, be disgusted, and then be out the 500 bucks, and the balance for the new camera. Apparently the Canon eats memory, and it's expensive, high speed memory as well. The guy at the store said Canon is now only making...

Well, I just priced everything, and I'm not jazzed. 900 for the camera, 339 for the memory, 1 gig, add another 100 for the card reader. Only saving grace is my Rebel zoom is multiplied by 1.5, which works for me. That beyond stretches my budget :cry: gs

Canon Digital Eos 300D??? Canon Digital Eos 300D??? I like SLR's. My mother always bought, and I always borrowed, Nikon SLR's. I currently have a regular Canon Eos. What do you all think of the new camera, and are the lenses compatible? What are the hidden costs for a Digital camera...

Hi I'm considering a digital camera for taking pictures of my kids, and their work. My question is, what cameras, and companies, have a good track record for software, and system compatibility? I can't help but think about my 1200 dollar Nikon scanner, that has no updates past windows 98, and...

Problem is, the most likely problem I'm going to face is not the machine, dying, but having someone break in and steal it, though I think this unlikely at the school I am currently working. The prices people are getting on ebay for jazz and zip stuff reflects it's value. It's not much, but...

You've got a couple very good points. Let's see. DVD-r is a possibility, but not until they drop off the new item ripoff pricing list. When they hit about 100-150, then I'll switch. The other problem is the media needs to be one everyone is using, and often with the parents I have, they...

Well, I have 10 students, and, as they work, I scan in everything they do, and have to save it for 3 years for a portfolio presentation. I suspect that the wisest money would be a safe deposit box, and, as the 36 gigs of storage fill up, burning it to CD, and storing it in the safe deposit box...

I should be more specific. Not scsi vs ide, but Seagate Cheetah's vs. IDE. I still have the 4 cheetahs, puchased in 1997, that were in the box originally. They now reside as infrequently used backups for a raid box, on an old pc. I've also had reasonably good luck with Quantum LM's. Not so...

Mirror 1 The concept of buying a cheap, high capacity, low reliability ide drive for storage just doesn't make sense to me. The only way I could see doing it, is, if the drives are dual, in other words, raid 1. Under softraid, I could raid two drives, each masters, on the tempo card, and...

HI My new school district is all macs. So, to get things going, I brought out my g3, 33hmhz with 9.22, Cheetah 10x on an uw card, using an LVD cable, and termination. I bought a Tempo 3 in one card. It has four fire wire ports, 2 usb external, and, it looks like two ide 133 channels...

Politicians, as a general rule, are the lowest form of human life. The less influence they have over your life, and the fewer laws, within a couple reasons, the better. Looking to a politican to save a bad situation is like trying to win money in Las Vegas: the odds are seriously against you. gs

I don't really want to go into this. I feel just as strongly about Clinton, the darling of the bomb. Screwing Monica, or almost screwing Monica, let's bomb Afganistan and get involved in Bosnia, supporting the Moslem side :roll: If that doesn't work, let's let in refugees from Haiti, an...

Well, I live in a country, Kalifornia, ravaged by facist-liberals, that, what a shock, destroyed the economy of the 6th largest country in the world, Kalifornia. I really wonder how much control you want your congress to have over your business. While I would not allow people to enter the...

I like results where Seagate wins. They have always been good to me, and every drive I've bought, except for the Quantum LM, has been a Seagate cheetah. My laptop needs a new drive, and now, I know what to buy, if, it will fit... gs

Getting rid of stuff, really sucks. As a school teacher at a ghetto school, I couldn't get the frigging people that disposed of the computers to give me a call. Most likely, the pricks have their own way of making money on the disposal(Vallejo). I was REALLY good at putting together broken...

Guys always kid me about my desire for large caliber guns. I like 45 super, which is close to 44 mag. I also know exactly what they are talking about as far as the 454/ 45 colt ripping up, with heavy loads. I'm having my grips redesigned to take the recoil a bit better then a plow handle...
