    Western Digital 74Gb SATA Raptor & Controller card question!!!

    Try 33MHz PCI bus speed @ 133 MB/sec - much more than a single Raptor can saturate. My Adaptec 1210SA loves that mean 74gb Raptor attached to it.

    What router should I buy?

    how loud is a raptor ??

    My new 74gb has no high pitch whine whatsoever. With the case open it emits muted seek noise, but it's not even as loud as my Barracuda V 120gb 8mb cache models - those have a sharper seek crunch to them.

    This thread is pretty funny because everyone bitches about an American company laying off employees and outsourcing to India, but no one really catches on as to WHY this had to happen.

    Newegg sending a USED board when buying new? UPDATE: TWICE!

    Wow I thought my last purchase there was just a fluke. I ordered an Eizo T966 21" CRT and it arrived in a box with a ghetto taping on the outside, NO styrofoam supports on the top of the monitor, the clear plastic bagging around the monitor was completely off - down underneath the monitor...

    Good pc2700 memory?

    The Crucial PC2700 I got a few weeks back was actually Samsung. I used the memory finder and chose the Asus A7N8X board and got Samsung - instead of the Infineon like they sent me a few weeks prior to that when I chose an older MSI board.

    Does 512MB DDR RAM need Win2k or ME to be able to handle the cache?

    << Does the mobo make a difference as to how much memory is cached through the OS? Or does it not play a role at all? >> Only if you're talking ~1996 chipsets (for the amount of memory you are using here).
