It should be if it's not.

Have you tried Photoshop or Gimp?

I booted from the boot CD and is doesn't show any HDs. :confused: FWIW It won't boot Acronis from a CD plugged into the SATA controller either, only from the IDE drive in the system. It starts the Acronis loader and then craps out.

Ok, well I tried it. Acronis v11 doesn't see anything, which is what I would expect from a hardware RAID card.

No complaints so far. Unless you're want to have DTS Connect support on the Mobo's integrated sound you might as well get the GA-EP35-DS3P instead though. Best I can tell it's the exact same mobo features wise (except for the heatpipe cooling solution being slightly different), but without DTS...

I'm not sure what you're talking about. There is definitely software monitoring of the array. I haven't tried Acronis on it, but I will when I get home to test it out. So far the best I can tell it acts just like my PATA hardware 3ware RAID card from a BIOS and software standpoint.

You think Catalytic converters don't rob power from a motor? There's the extra weight from all the extra stuff needed to meet emissions. Additives in fuel, etc, etc, etc...

Neither I think. Intel ICHR9 on the mobo. I believe that's a hardware solution. Mobo link

I've got 2 in a RAID-1 in my new Q6600 build. They work... Not much more to say about them.

Well... There are four main things at play here. 1) Vehicle weight has gone up considerably to meet the constantly evolving safety standards 2) Emissions have been been given higher priority than gas mileage. All the things done to a motor to reduce emissions aren't helping the gas mileage...

I don't know about that Tony. Seems to me you fine folks in Oz have all the cool cars, like the Holden SS's with the big V8's and manual transmissions.

The cantenna?

Why is it that more gov't interference in private industry is the solution to problems created by gov't interference in a private industry? Wouldn't the solution be less gov't interference?

Weird thing is most site are still very fast when these problems are going on. It only seems to be certain sites that are slow. It also seems to only be going on from maybe 5-6pm to midnight or so. I will have to run some of the speed tests tonight if the same thing happens again.

Maybe, but I'm the only house in the neighborhood connected to that node, so that seems unlikely. Tonight this file is downloading at 4.0k/sec. :(

I meant that non member have to pay a surcharge when they order from Costco's website, not that Costco's prices are higher on the website.

I have RoadRunner, or whatever they're calling it these days.

But you'll pay more, plus the Eneloop batteries aren't available online.

I'm not sure. It was finished when I woke up. Certain sites seem very, very slow when I access them in evening the last few days.

So, I'm getting a whopping less than 1k/sec on this download. http://ftpfp.quicken.com/pub/turbotax/2007/wp_turbotax_1040_per_prime.exe :(

If you sign in to their site (anyone can create an account) you can see the lower prices, but you do need to buy >$60 to get free shipping. You can also get an extra 5% off using the code in that thread too.

Yes, that's it. That price is pretty crappy. You might want to take a look at this thread.

Do I sense a reverse bidding war coming on? :p

I don't know if it's too high or not, I haven't dug into it. I'm waiting to see what my tax return ends up being and if I get my bonus from work before I go spending a lot. I know what you mean. Usually I end up sitting on it on stuff until it's worthless. :(

The Sanyo Eneloop's are the best, and they're still available at Costco, at least they are in Michigan. One store has the $25.99 8AA, 4AAA charger pack. The other has the 6AA, 4AAA $18.99 pack. They both sold them out before and have since gotten more in stock. Some of the Duracell...

Is that the current price for the whole setup as listed?

Could be. I can get the source code for the HDTVtoMPEG2, but I wouldn't have a clue what to go looking for in it.

Congrats!

That's what I do for #1. There is a 250gig drive in there for that program to record to. For #2 I use the program on one of my desktops and use mapped network shares.

Ok, so I did some more testing of the arrays and found they're reasonably fast when copying files to or from them with Windows Explorer. But, I have two programs that just crawl on them. 1) The software for the Fusion 5 HDTV card in the PC. A raw HDTV transport stream is all of about...

Ok, now I'm really confused. HDtach says my 2TB RAID-5 array has an average read of >80Mbyte/sec (basically flat across the whole thing). It says my 320GB RAID-1 array has an average read of 56.8Meg/sec with the typical HD falloff from >65Mbyte/sec at the start to 38Mbyte/sec at the end. Yet...

I should point out that even my RAID-1 array runs slow off the 3ware card. :(

Hmm... That looks pretty good. I just wish I knew for sure that that the lack of a 64bit PCI bus is the problem. It seems like the last possibility. The only other thing is that I've only ever had the card in AMD systems. That could address both possibilities. It's even on 3Ware's...

I know I'm looking for old technology, but where might I find a ATX motherboard that has at least 1 64bit / 66MHz PCI slot on it, AGP slot, and support for a "decent" processor (preferably Intel). Maybe a used server or something? And, in case you're wondering why I'm asking, I'm basically...

Creative's problem is they apparently ran out of companies to buy. They got their first PCI card designs from Ensoniq since Sound Blaster couldn't figure out how to make a PCI sound card. They milked that for all it's worth and now they're stuck.

Doesn't anyone else remember them charging $10 extra for the 2.0 driver release for the Sound Blaster Live! ? That was my last SB card.

That wasn't in the article when I posted the link (assuming you're referring to update 8 ). There were no updates then.

Not so successful... link

I still lived with my parents at the time (post college) and my Uncle and 2 cousins were visiting us at the time. It rained really hard during that so we collected several large garbage cans full of water to use for flushing water. We filled a lot of thing with water from the faucet early on...

I suffered through the blackout in the summer of 2003. :( I'm a little more prepared now, at least when it comes to flashlights. :D That reminds me I had better go top off charge the SLA in my 100W spotlight. :eek:

Well, someone has to keep a level head in the face of all this nonsense. I'm just doing my part.

I did a mass compression of my music collection from FLAC to MP3 using foobar2k and LAME at -V 1. As a side note, Foobar2k will launch as many compression threads as there are "cores". The Q6600 @ 3gHz went along at about 110x. My P4 3.06HT only does about 19x.

I'm going to turn on every light and electronic device I have. :D

Is something wrong with using multiple DVDs, or getting an external HD? 1x in Blu-Ray speak is 36Mbps, so 4.5Mbytes/sec... Most "fast" drives are 4x, so 18Mbytes/sec. 25gig for a single layer is about 24 minutes (assuming CLV). Double that for a DL. The LG dual format is one of the the...

With one of these.

Wow, just wow...

Yeah, it's running at 3.0gHz without any change to Vcore with very reasonable load temps. It's quite fast. I still haven't swapped it in to use as my primary machine yet though.

Some will, some won't. The real question is when you get a board that doesn't support the chip until you flash the BIOS, how do you flash the BIOS unless you already have another CPU to use during the flash?

Yikes, that's warmer that I'd feel safe running it at. :eek:

It is still faster in pretty much every application. Sometimes >10% link As you note it is better on the power consumption. link
