How's this? http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/

Just wanted to confirm that the WD, as I claimed earlier, doesn't include NCQ as a feature. As I said NCQ is an option of SATA-II and is not required and WD obviously chose not to include it. See here.

This thread also suggests that the "SATA-II" WD drive that I refrenced above does indeed lack NCQ. Please provide any evidence to the contrary. http://forums.storagereview.net/index.php?act=ST&f=2&t=20073

I'm just going by the Anandtech article refrenced above that states that, "Just because the SATA-IO committee identifies capabilities like NCQ and Hot Plug, they are not required by any standard." Also, unlike the other SATA-II drives on Newegg the WD dive makes no mention what so ever anywhere...

Not True.

I bought a 915G board recently and had to replace my Matrox G450. I was under the assumption that the integrated graphics would look fine on my 19 inch CRT. Unfortunatley the 2D image is quite "unstable" and blurry. I had to reduce my resolution from 1280x960 at 85Hz to 1152x864 at 75Hz and it...

I talked about the ALC 850 because that is the "crap" codec that the Karajan module on the DFI LanParty uses. The Karajan module possibly helps improve this "crap," but as I said I have seen no objective or even subjective evidence that this is better than HD Audio, and I even provided a link to...

This is just crazy talk. At no time has AMD had such a better chip than Intel. If thier was ever a time to buy AMD it is now. They run cooler, faster, and have future with dual core and 64 bitness. ---------------------------------- No it's not. I believe I listed good reasons for my choice. I...

My most important concern (because I have no clue) is whether there is a specific Prescott revision that is out right now and I should be looking out for (due to better heat management or performance)? Or is their possibly a new one coming soon that I should be waiting for? Thanks

Check out Intel Matrix RAID it has better than RAID 5 capability at a much lower cost. RAID 5 doesn't make much sense with Matrix RAID as an option (for the average home user in my opinion). The extra cost, power, and heat of 3-5 drives (RAID 5 doesn't tend to outperform RAID 0 until you...

Thanks Yeah, that was the only accoustical matting on Newegg's site and people seemed to like it. However after I did some research last night at silentpcreview.com the opinion seemed to range from "will help lower pitch of sound but not volume" to "worthless." I think I'm going to try and...

After almost 7 years of loyal AMD usage (just the K6-2 500 and Duron 600 though) I'm strangly making the move to Intel now despite some its inferior properties compared to AMD. The reason for this is despite their high heat and slower perfromance in most uses, I am choosing them for thier better...

Does anybody have a link to a review concerning the use of different speeds or RAM on A64? Everybody seems to suggest that faster speed RAM is necessary/better but where has this been shown? Thanks.

Because as I said I'm a student on a modest budget. Do you have an idea or link as to how much of a performance hit it will take? Thanks.
