it may be shortsighted but I just do occasional incremental backups and don't worry about harddrive failure or OS loss.
Assuming data safety is irrelevant, does anyone have an opinion regarding my initial question as to whether it would be better to RAID two smaller WD1000JB's or one faster...
I have one of those WD1000JB special edition 100GB HD from Western digital with 8mb cache, but I am running out of space. Would love an increase in speed but don't want to pay the price for SCSI or SATA right now (though I will be watching size increases in SATA closely :).
Saw some...
The sound difference between a little bit older Monster mx300 and Audigy was truly awesome.
I generally tend to spend more money (investments, as you call it) on stuff which one of my five senses will appreciate rather than just attempting to get a few more fps. So I have a top of the line...
Just put together my amd 2000 w/ thermalright sk6 hs and 60mm delta fan? It runs low 50's in dos and 57-60C in windows xp after hours of gaming.
Like you, I wonder if this is normal. I am thinking about reapplying the Arctic silver III, I probably put it on too thick. Also, I am using a...
Got an upgraded Windows XP on my current 440BX MB and Celeron. Sitting next to them on the desk are my new Asus A7v266-E and XP2000+, just waiting to be plugged in.

Leadtek GF2 GTS
I heard from hardcore computer geek cousin that Partition Magic is excellent for this. I could not get it rapidly enough, so I went onto either softseek or Tucows (I forget which) and dl a freeware small program called Presizer and changed my partition easily.
Recently I have seen the entire...
Thinking about muskin pc2100 cas2 vs. corsair xms2400 vs. cheaper Crucial PC2100 cas2.5. Respective prices are $ 115/115/65. Which is better? Will do some moderate amount of overclocking (once I view Tom's hardware video on unlocking the AMD XP's).
Also, you need ecc type ram if you occupy...
Thanks for your response, obispo. But yes, I tried it first, second and third as a boot device and the lights on the FDD do turn on and the drive makes some noise.
I even burned the contents of a fresh system disk onto a CD and made the CDROM the first boot device, but to no avail.
Keep the...
