    Seagate 1TB

    I mean the drives are full and I need more space. :) The drives must be in pairs though, so buying 2x1TB drives to add 500GB of usable space is not very economical.

    Thanks. BTW, I was able to log in fine from there with IE6.

    Best Ingredient for Single Topping Pizza

    OK, since the 80s. I very rarely go out to restaurants anymore, so everything is past tense for me. ;) I haven't had a CPK pizza since the early 90s, except in an airport or two.

    July 22nd Intel price drops

    Yes, that seems to be it, thanks. If no CPU upgrade is possible I will leave it alone until ~2009. I will not suffer the full reinstall process anytime soon. It is too time consuming and painful.

    Heh, I remember the Disneyland ride in the late 60s. It was an E ticket. :)

    So my 7-month old system is completely obsolete. Great. :(

    July 22nd Intel price drops

    It is an Asus and the BIOS indicates 975X and 82801 of some sort. Does that mean anything? I can't remember the exact model anymore and disassembly is a pain.

    July 22nd Intel price drops

    All these CPU types are confusing. Does this mean I can reasonably upgrade from 2006 model E6700 to something faster in the same MB?

    Storagereview now looks like SF.

    Damn, there are adverts everywhere — double-underlined links in the articles, 8 million animated flashy files in the header and margins, pop-ups, even ads in line with posts in the forum. Good grief!

    Best Ingredient for Single Topping Pizza

    We had CPK restaurants in the 80s and they had plenty of available toppings like ham and pineapple. I don't recall any goat, however. :D

    Samsung about to release 1TB drive.

    When? I am concerned about the heat from the Hitachi 1TB drive and the Samsung should require less power. And where is the Seagate 1TB drive?

    Another Digital Camera Thread - Point and Shoot

    Gary, You should buy a D200 by now as the prices are very reasonable. Heh, remember the old Novoflex follow-focus lenses? :lol: I never got the hang of using the 400/5.6. Man, it is so much easier now with AF and IS. :)

    Another Digital Camera Thread - Point and Shoot

    AFAIK it is just a Bayer filter with one green pixel (photosite) replaced by a non-filtered one. Image reconstrcution is obviously different and presumably there will be appropriate hardware image processors for the purpose. The subject was under conjecture in the 1990s as I recall. I'm sure...

    Yes, of course and I posted as well. Don't you remember all the drives I bought and tested in the late 1990s and early 2000s, that we discussed at SR?

    Well I prefer to reduce power consumption and especially heating of the area in the summertime.

    OK, thanks. I give up on the idea. It takes about 3 minutes to boot and everything.

    Something Random

    That show looks like a filthy (R-rated) stand up comedy act, so it is understandable that many people would be offended. However, the user should have read the box more carefully or checked it out online.

    Power On

    I would not use the LAN. In fact I want to turn off the internet as well, except when the computer is on. Are the BIOS settings adjustable in Windows with a funky utility of some sort?

    How can I time the computer to turn on before I arrive home from work? Thanks.

    Perhaps laser printers are great for Powerpoint presentations, but laser printer color is crap. These are affordable for serious home users.

    UDMA Flash

    Where does one find the CF IDE adapter? Would it work with IDE to SATA adapter as well or is that too much to hope for?

    UDMA Flash

    http://www.lexar.com/digfilm/cf_udma.html http://flash.atpinc.com/products/view.php?product_id=1409 etc. 300x is ~45 MB/sec.

    UDMA Flash

    I see that the latest 300x CF cards support UDMA. Does that mean that they are practically usable in the computer with some sort of IDE adapter?

    Well, everyone is not building new servers. ;) I was hoping to replace some 500GB drives with 1TB drives to increase capacity. Eight drives is already enough in my home PC. :(

    2.5" SATA Enclosure

    I'm looking for a 2.5" USB-SATA enclosure that is efficient enough to operate a notebook drive without an extra power input. I'd love to go with PATA, but the drives remain at the 160GB maximum capacity over a year later. :(
