My optimism is limited to hoping Obama fails to implement his socialist, economy strangling, big gov't agenda. And for the record... I didn't vote for anyone. I did however vote against Obama.

We are now officially headed down the road to becoming the United Socialist States of America. Watch your wallets everyone since we're the "rich" Obama and his liberal cronies are planning to soak.

I've bought most of mine from Costco.

It works where I work, and that's all that matters. :D

The L Word??? Excuse me while I go gag now.

And exactly why would Fujitsu want SPARC?

It's easy to tell. If they're made in Japan they're eneloops, if they're made elsewhere, they're not.

It should probably do the job then.

Depends what your target use is and if you like ATI products.

As I recall, their program is very thorough. It will check every controller in the system. You're supposed to turn off RAID and AHCI in the bios though before flashing though people have reported it working regardless. You can get DOS (from Win98SE or similar) from bootdisk.com or other...

For what? Flashing them? There wasn't last time. You had to boot to DOS. I used a bootable USB key.

I have 5 of the affected drives :( I have two ST31000333AS and three ST31500341AS. I've already had to flash the three ST31500341AS drives once due to the freezing issue. I want to wait a little bit before diving headfirst into this fix, so for now I'm keeping them all powered up and spinning.

Boohoo... Are you in Detroit for the Autoshow?

There was already one firmware update for the 7200.11 drives.

I didn't realize it was so many. My best suggestion would be to add all the necessary shares to duplicate what's out there now, and then systematically go around changing the shares people are mapping an office at a time, eventually allowing you to have a much cleaner setup (removing the excess...

Why would you only have one more opportunity to buy a case? I'm confused...

How many people access these servers, and do you have access to their machines? Do they run any sort of login script? You could just go wild and effectively start from scratch and be prepared for a lot of calls wondering why their old shares no long work. That would be the cleanest solution...

Depending what you're doing you may not have an issue with moisture in your air. I mean it will be there, but it won't cause you any problems. But, you should definitely drain the tank regularly or it will rust from the inside.

Hard to say. My experience with a few different air compressors is that have some odor to them when running. I'm not sure about when off since I've never had one in a confined area.

A lot of air compressors use oil to lubricate the pistons, though a lot of newer ones are oil-less (and suck).

Uh... they were enacted in response to the Arab oil embargo of 1973-74. Even an Apple user like you should be able figure out that since they a "response" they were supposed to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

Yes, but at least we get to laugh at them too.

I wouldn't think that should matter.

I have a 60 gallon compressor that runs on 220V in my garage. :D

I put the OEM Intel Q6600 HSF on my E5200 on a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P. It put a slight bow in the board, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

I'm not OC'ing it. If you do the math you'll see all the combinations I listed in the title are 2.5gHz.

Can't help you on this one...

And "The abortion went well." There is so much subtle humor in that clip (as well as the obvious humor) like the price of it, the length and typos in the e-mail the guy spent 45 minutes on, the fact that when you pick a letter, the letter is not the first choice, etc...

More like magician-ship. He's sold all the loyal faithful a well polished, but very overpriced, PC and they love Apple and him for it. It's mind boggling. The RDF (Reality Distortion Field) is real. Macbook Wheel

Udaman, no one here cares about Apple, except for you apparently.

The motherboard can dynamically adjust the voltage.

Retail chip. My understanding is Intel lets you lower the multiplier, just not raise it. I have tried the E5200 in all three configurations and it works fine in all of them.

Yes, but that conventional wisdom assumes you're running the RAM faster with the higher FSB. In my case it's the same in each case. Like? The E8400 is 2x the cost and only offers less than a 10% advantage per MHz with it's larger cache. I don't need a ton of processing power in a fileserver.

And nothing will use them... :(

So, I put together a new computer that's going to be my server in the basement that has a E5200 in it. I can run the CPU basically at stock clocks in any of the following configurations... 12.5 x 200, 9.5 x 266, or 7.5 x 333. The RAM will be at 800MHz in all three cases. Is there going to be...

Well, with HDMI audio, you need a HDMI audio capable receiver to take the audio from the signal and pass the video portion onto your TV. It would amplify the sound for your speakers.

Well, there's a problem... ATI's HDMI implementation in their stand alone video cards sucks (IMHO). It can't do 1080p24 correctly, and they have issues with HDMI audio due to the ATI drivers inability to properly part EDID from a receiver. On the other hand, nVidia doesn't have a stand alone...

Assuming you don't want to play HD-DVD, Blu-Ray and be stuck with whatever Apple deems suitable for capability, it might just be.

A motherboard with an nVidia 9300/9400 IGP with some Intel processor. Then spend a lot of time at http://www.silentpcreview.com/ to find out how to make it all super quiet.

I seem to recall having bought something from them before (like a decade ago) without issue, but that doesn't mean much now.

Congrats!

Well, I threw in the towel on this idea. I ended up buying a new motherboard / cpu instead. I got a GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P and Intel E5200 CPU. I will use the Gigabyte / Jmicron chip for RAID-1 of two SATA 1TB drives for the OS and I'll reuse the 3ware card and the 2TB RAID-5 array. Later...

Thanks for the feedback... This looks like something I might have to just try. :eek:

Anyone tried any of those adapters that will let me use SATA drives on a PATA controller? I want to put a few larger drives on my 3ware 7506-8 to replace the 2 320GB drives I have now in RAID-1. 500GB IDE drives are still available, that isn't much extra space, and the 750GB IDE drives are...

No, they're two totally separate companies.

There are a lot of reports of them flickering badly when doing 24Hz video on AVSforum.

Which is on both the Samsung A650 and A630 series TVs that Merc and I suggested.

Except there's no 47". There's a 46". If you don't like the glossy screen the Samsung LNxxA630 may be what you're looking for.

You can get a pretty good deal on it here. (not sure about shipping) I also like the LaCrosse BC-900 and BC-700.

Personal preference I guess, I was going for the dramatic look. :p
