hello-- tomorrow I plan on flying back to school with some hardware that I got good prices on down here at home. since they don't exactly handle the baggage as well as I think they should, I want to take everything as a carry-on. currently, I have a boxed gigabyte SINXP1394 motherboard, a boxed...

yeah, i'm just hoping EeyoreX will still love me

hello-- I read through the faq but I didn't see an answer for this. I want to be able to subscribe to a thread (so that it is conveniently linked in my "today" section) without getting an email everytime someone replies. Is this possible? EDIT: okay, I found under "customize" that I can have...

Awesome! Thank you very much, you're very informative. I will def. connect the devices as you suggest when I get this board. -Neal

excellent. thank you kind sir. does "southbridge" refer to a part of the motherboard?

I feel that. I downloaded Windows 95, 98, 98SE, 2000, 2000 Advanced Server, ME, and XP. I did, however, purchase WFW 3.11 -Neal

hi-- I am building a new system which I plan to have 6 IDE devices on it. When a board has 4 IDE ports (like the SINXP1394), it will support up to 8 IDE devices, right? -Neal

Hello-- I am currently debating between: Maxtor L01J120 - 120gb ATA/133 w/2mb cache and Western Digital WD1200JB - 120 ATA/100 w/8mb cache. I was hoping to get some input from you guys. The Maxtor is nice because it is ATA133, but the cache is small compared to the WD ATA100 drive. I think my...

Hey--I'm really sorry about this thread. I don't know how I ended up posting it twice. This isn't the real one, so if the moderators could please delete it I would be thankful.

Hello

thoughts are not illegal, bro.

Hey you guys-- I've never really posted here before, just ghosted. I am going to buy a new computer this week, and I wanted to get advice on the motherboard to buy. I am going with P4 2.66GHz, "Northwood 512K Socket 478" whatever that means, unless someone has a good reason why I should not...
