You need to calculate 1-(the chance of all the jammers failing), which is 1-(0.9)^n giving your 41%. A fallacious gambler would assume that if each has a 10% chance then after nine failures the tenth *must* work, and proceed to bet his horse on it. A wise gambler would know that the tenth...

I ripped the fan off my GF3 about 2 years ago and it still hasn't died.

Global demand is up, US has first pickings. There were fuel shortage riots in Yemen recently that left dozens of corpses scattered all over the place.

If you take all the energy in wasted mouse clicks this guy has caused and put it behind a good punch, it would have taken his head off.

1TB storage. 25 minutes battery backup 90MB/s automatic disk backup speed So it can save 1/8 of its content before the power goes.

If you run DriveBench or something you can see a graph of transfer rate - it falls as you fill the disk. Some figures in MB/s: WD Raptor: Begining 72 End 54 Seagate 7200.8: Begining 70 End 39 If it's really just for game loading get a big 7.2k disk a wait a few seconds. However for work...

I too have several pink shirts. Must get the washing machine looked at.

It will run the memory at max. DDR333 speeds if all 3 slots are full. This won't effect a 2500+ which runs DDR333 at stock speeds.

NForce2 can run dual channel with 3 sticks, put 2x256 in one and 1x512 in the other though 3 full slots will force it to run at DDR333. It has 2 independent memory controllers so you don't need to match memory like most dual channel chipsets. Mine works in dual channel with 2x256 and 1x1024...

Samsung drives are fairly quiet. The storagereview database has noise measurements.

An original IBM PC. Memory latency on those was about 200ns, similar to the processor cycle time, so there was no need to wait. Effectively a latency of zero. Wait states had to be introduced with the 286 as the memory couldn't keep up any more.

I thought P4s were memory bandwidth limited, so even if you go dual core you will want to stop everything else so your game or whatever can run at its full potential. You don't need multiple processors to be responsive, an encoding or heavy computation process should run at lower than normal...
