I would include a third drive. Something similar to this arrangement: SATA C: WinXP & Applications SATA D: Image Files & Editor Image Work Files PATA E: Swap File PATA F: Optical Drive If necessary, the E: and F: drives can be combined on the same channel, as the intense swap file activity...

Thanks for the link Mike; there are some neat gadgets mentioned on that site.

Is the North East coastal area part of the Murray-Darling Basin?

Alright, a fight. We haven't any action around here for some time. A round of drinks on me before the entertainment begins!

Why not, nobody ever stops Tannin, and he never asks. :D

More of the same as has been mentioned. I would like to emphasize:

Good to hear that you are still alive. :wink:

Although this is all being said in fun, it would be nice to have one standard for all devices plugged into the motherboard. Just think of how simple that would be! Granted, there may be some loose ends that cannot be converted to a single standard such as audio since it must be compatible with...

Here is what I was talking about regarding WD drives, and now they have a fix -- RAID Drives

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

If you want real classical rock, listen to Vivaldi's Four Seasons -- that must've been the Rock of its day.

As long as you can attach a bass-shaker to your floor boards or couch for the full effect, all is good. :D

What happens when just the newer WD drives are used? Older WD drives had problems in RAID arrays. They run an internal diagnostic for lengthy periods of time, which causes them to fall out of RAID arrays controlled by a controller card. They still do this (which is good for regular desktop...

<whisper> Mercutio, yes I remember you mentioning that in the past, but I was trying to get Tony onto ATI cards. </whisper>

That is certainly possible. I mean what kind of monkey would open that many tabs anyway? :D

When using: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 ...it does not crash -- everything seems to work fine.

From Eugene Ra at Storage Review:

You can try Moz 1.7.1 and (can someone be ready with smelling salt for my simian friend?) an ATI video card. The same problem you’re experiencing I have experienced with older GeForce cards, and Matrox P650s, not with ATI. Of course that could be entirely coincidental and I still use Matrox in...

My first guess (I've seen something similar with Windows XP) would be video card driver, then video card combined with Windows. Sorry I am not more specific, I'm sure you've already assumed the same scenario.

(You're an orangutan working on computers, what isn't crazy about that?) I've been running DX9 without any issues when playing the only game I play, AOE.

I say 1-2 months because I don't keep them around. No sense in gambling with my customer's data.

Here is the Warranty Overview in PDF format. As it mentions, year 4 and 5 are Return for Credit only. Oh, and as to which drives are covered: 2. To whom does the 5-year warranty apply? The 5-year warranty applies to all customers who purchase drives either directly through Seagate...

The bright lights are hard to handle after several drinks. :D

Pounding headache - your blood vessels are dilated, drink caffeine and take an anti-inflammatory like Ibuprofen. Also, you still need sugar; the easiest way is honey on a cracker. It’s also the least intrusive on your stomach if it is a bit upset.

Those 4x32W fixtures are very nice. I use them in my garage/workshop. I'm planning on hooking one up to my garage door opener instead of using that woefully inefficient incandescent bulb they come with. However, this is not to save energy, but instead to provide adequate lighting when the...

On separate channels they no long work as Master and Slave. Perhaps both are set to Master? There are other possible combinations, and with Samsung drives, there are a myriad of ways to place that jumper shunt.

Samsung can have some very confusing jumper settings, please make sure they are correct.

:rofl: We can accomplish that on the long flight over! Rum n Cokes and Vegemite. :D

Doesn't Tannin look a bit like Sean Eadie? Well, maybe not.

Sure enough, the builders punctured one of the lines for the air conditioner with a nail. Optimistically (which I normally am not), they won't need to tear apart the Master Bath shower enclosure. The leak is right where the roof meets the ceiling. The guy they sent out was to big to reach...

I'd love to, but I have to stay sober so that I can move to Ballarat and work at the Redhill slave camp. :D Mercutio, I don't know which is worse, a fire hazard or a shifting house. Like I said earlier, my problem is nowhere near as serious as something like electrical issues. I just want...

Moving is a pain. But worse yet, is when you move into a new house and some serious defect is found. Although not as serious as plumbing or electrical, my air conditioner has gone out. Come to find out that the lines running from the condenser outside the house to the coil inside the house...

SOLD! :D Oh yeah, I forgot to check for a job first.

Dave, most outdoor domestic cats in my area don't last very long. We have packs of coyotes that roam the neighborhoods and wild cats that wait in prey for the unsuspecting dinner (on rare occasions joggers and cyclists). A few miles away in some of the more rural areas, people that own dogs...

Not that I know where this is, but here is a four-bedroom for $360,000.00 AUD ($264,190.00 USD) in Ballarat.

Hala, what sort of drives are these?

I hope home prices level off or drop a bit. I also hope that interest rates go up, I would like to earn some decent interest on my money market accounts. Remember when those rates were at 11% and higher? Those were the good old days (unless, of course, you were buying a house :D ).

Change of Topic I was just doing some math (I know, it hurts) and was wondering, what is the average cost of a home where you live? In my neighborhood, whether we're talking about a large single family house (4,500 sq.ft.) or an attached condominium like mine (1,389 sq.ft.), the average...

Another good episode.

After being On and then getting around, I suspect it has grown tired.

Yes mubs, I am served by SDG&E.

Nice to see that the fish survived. I hope you enjoy your new house.

Nice to have those options Tea. Most of my electricty comes from a nuclear power plant about 5 miles away. Have you looked into generating your own solar energy at the Redhill shop?

My customer wants to capture video and scam as many free channels as he can. :D

I use to keep several servers in the garage. I never had a problem with critters, and the temperature variations were pretty drastic (100F in the summer, 40F in the winter), but that bother anything. The biggest problem was dirt. Leaving only a few miles from the ocean provides us with a...

Yup, my disti has 80GB and 20GB 5,400-rpm Samsung units in stock. Oh, and they also have same speed WD units in stock.

A vote for NOD32. That is the only antivirus software I recommend. I have come across too many infected systems running Norton or McAfee. But, as has been mentioned, even outstanding antivirus programs are as good as their updates. If the user doesn't want to purchase a new license after a...

I haven't tried that. I could give you reasons why it shouldn't work, but it would be fun to try. Let us know how it goes. :D

Yes it works, thanks. Clocker, how much does a stock viper weight? How much do you think this particular version weighed? The bikes couldn't have been more then what, 500 pounds each? I would like to have seen that viper injected with a little nitrous.

Has anyone had any experience with Pentamedia products, such as their Pentavision and PentavisionCI cards? A customer of mine asked me about these, and I'd like to get some input about these products. http://www.pentamedia.com/ Once the site loads, click on the English version, and then click...
