    The Systems that Sell

    hmmmm Ok. If I use a cooler, what are the quietest ones on the market? By the way, turned out to be a dead monitor. Still, I have a feeling I'll be building the rest of the box soon... gs

    Not buying another gun for IPSC I was planning on using a 45 SAA Linebaugh, and backing that up with a Kimber, 45 ACP, with multiple clips. I did fire the range masters 40 S & W, and it comes out of recoil very nicely, and, it's a big slug, at good velocity, with litte recoil. Sweet gun...

    Cheap business machine???? HI The computer at the law office just took a bit of a dump. I was wondering what the consensus is, on a cheap, business computer, made out of quality components. It's only for pretty much word processing, it has to be silent, so no active chip cooling. On board...

    Perspective: Those guys I named, had records like 105-2 for Cerdan. Lamotta was similar, but with something like 6 losses to Robinson. Turpin likewise, and Bobo Olson, all, were awesome fighters. Ray Robinson took on and beat, the best welters, and middles for 25 years. gs

    Brain damage, and, nose damage The other part of fighting is, after doing it for a long time, even though it doesn't look like it, the septium on my nose is whacked out of position, and needs to be moved back so I can sleep, and breath. Temporary memory loss is another affect long term...

    Jazzed today Roberto Duran was my idol. As a lightweight, champ for 8 years, 5 titles, kicked Leonards' ass. Just an incredible fighter. Take a punch, hit you super hard with both hands, hands of stone... As a lightweight, he was the best of all time. Ray Arcel and Freddie Brown for...

    Roy Jones Flagreen: I saw only one of Roy Jones fights, a middleweight title fight. The guy put on a fair to unimpressive show, winning by decision. He fought pretty much the entire fight with a jab, and hook same hand. Turns out he broke, or injured the other hand in prefight, or during the...

    Helldiver: Hard to find a mobo with out the VIA chipsets... and I try. I have had both the 750 and 760 series boards, and the VIA chipsets may well be the cause of the spikes we have noticed for so long, on so many raids. Just a thought. I would love to see an ALL AMD mobo, without the via...

    The Systems that Sell

    People are getting smarter I think the average guy is figuring out that you can't upgrade your computer much, because, when you think you can, driver, or os related problems keep new components, or old components, from being compatible with either the os, or the hardware. So, minimize the...

    To RAID or not to RAID

    Raid 10 Mirrored stripped sets are great for non-mission critical operations, where down time is ok. Unless you have some sort of power spike that kills more then one drive, you should be fine. Mac guys I know swear by 10, and they do lots of raids. Tannin, and Tea, I love your desire to...

    To RAID or not to RAID

    A raid fanatics view Ok: You don't really need it, your clients don't really need it, but, if you want it to happen right now, raid three more X 15's on a decent dual channel card, and call me back. It's really amazing the difference a 80-110 mb/sec disk system can make on your system. If...

    SiS645 chipset, are you tempted to turn to Intel again?

    Guys: The AMD pci bus sucks There have been a couple different testers that have found at high pci bus rates, the VIA chipsets are about 20% or more slower then the INTEL chipsets. I think, for that reason alone, that I would look at the new intel chipsets, if, that's a factor in the system...
