    2 Video Cards at one time, (ATI and NVidia)

    thanks for the reply, but you're describing an SLI PCIe config while we're talking about a much more simple setup of two monitors with one card per display. the original poster was inquiring about a setup with two PCIe cards (nVidia+ATi), while I'm asking about an older AGP & PCI setup...

    2 Video Cards at one time, (ATI and NVidia)

    those cards are both ATi, however... have you done AGP/PCI with one nVidia and one ATi card? My primary AGP card is a 9800 Pro and I'm now looking to throw in a second card, which would need be PCI. the 5700LE seems to be the best PCI card still avail, but would the nVidia drivers conflict with...

    2TB, RAID-5, Firewire-800, external storage recommendations?

    Unfortunately, the ReadNAS is NOT working. Apparently they've discovered a firmware incompatibility with Seagate drives, so I haven't even gotten the thing going yet. Infuriating really, since these drives were clearly listed as approved on the compatibility chart and Seagates are the only...

    2TB, RAID-5, Firewire-800, external storage recommendations?

    2TB, RAID-5, Firewire-800, external storage recommendations?

    i'm looking to do the same, large external firewire/usb 2.0 RAID-5 array with SATA drives. want just an enclosure, will add my own HDs. i also can't find any that support SATA and RAID-5. even reasonable PATA ones are relatively scarce, with the best option and price so far...

    how valid is this college advice

    Well, there are a lot of factors involved. How "good" is your state college as opposed to the other institution you want to go to? Is it worth the $ difference TO YOU and to your future? Is it that important to get away from home? How strong are your academics -- can you expect...

    American Pie 2 DivX

    No to insinuate anything or lead someone into incriminating themself, but has anyone actually seen first-hand the supposed American Pie 2 DivX pre-release that I keep reading about? Does it actually exist, or is the media once again blowing things out of proportion? I haven't spotted it yet in...

    Fox Trot expresses its thought on the x-10 cameras...

    I don't understand you folks. I LOVE the X10. LOVE it. I've rewired it into a Borg-like monacle for my kid's teddybear. ARGH! But now the dang teddy keeps popping up unwanted all over the place! STOP!!! Leave me alone! I'm sorry Teddy... *sniffle* Please don't hurt me... I'm SOOO scared...
