err... so your tellign me that SATA port 2 is both locked AND unlocked on your PowerBook ? ? ? :confused:

Here, copy my recent purchase and you *should* be ok .... <shameless plug> http://forums.anandtech.com/me...id=28&threadid=1499117 To answer your questions Get a 90nm AMD64 chip (newegg tells you what nm size in their descriptions) this IS a Winchester. Get a 3000+ if you are on a...

so even though most AMD64 MB have PCI and AGP locks that seem to work... .... the SATA controllers are running off HT base frequencies? opps! a bit of design oversight! Does this happen to my board? (woudl be nice to know BEFORE I buy a SATA drive !) :confused:

Looks like a pretty amazing development. I think you have to hand it to AMD for going with Hypertransport. Looks like it is really working out well in the long run. At this rate there will be Hypertransport LEGO(TM) - just get your hypertransport CPU and hypertransport I/O controllers and...

I had to agree when I made my purchase: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...id=28&threadid=1499117 Let's hope I can do some serious overclocking. ;)

I read snipets of concern over SATA Lock and corruption of SATA drives.... but a search of the forums for "SATA Lock" only turned up this thread: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...y=y&keyword1=sata+lock I have an Epox 9NDA3+ on order with 3000+ Winch. and I WILL be overclocking. - will...

Ok - So I got the 250Gb W.D. 8MB 7200RPM PATA circuit-city offer today. I'm thinking I'm gonna end up turning my old hardware into a HTPC at some point and this will make a good movie storage drive if/when i move onto something SATA. :-)

Thank you for all the comments. I saw the Raptor RAID 0 article but I have my concerns that since the drives are so fast that you are not seeing hte imporvements you would see with 7200RPM drives in RAID 0 vs. single. Hwoever I think I will go with the set-up above. With the 2x80Gb WD as...

Ok, Just about to put together my new system when I get the parts in a couple of days. It will be for: * Windows XP (and typical applications) * Online Games playing (so quick level load a must to have a ?head start?) * MP3 / MPEG 2 / MPEG 4 encoding. * Reading and/or writing from/to...

Hey, If it's not too sectret why don't you complie a little .exe of you most common routines and ask a few people here to give you benchmarks on their systems? If you think that memory bandwidth might have somehting to do with your performaqnce on these maths routines then there seems to be...

As f95toli pointed out I should have specifically said the speed of light in the medium. LOL - obviously not.

Floppy drives in PC for as long as 1) Windows install asks for the addtional storage driver disk to be insterted into drive A: 2) Lab equipment has better USB/100BaseT/GPIB support to make capturing to floppy less atractive.

I find it interesting to note that?. There are many places on Earth where particles are indeed traveling faster than the speed of light? What people do not distinguish is that special relativity states nothing can travel faster than the speed of light IN A VACCUM. So if you are in...

Well, It is ordered now :D I could have probably saved a few bucks by shopping around but I like the reliability of NewEgg so the list is: Compact Screwdriver GE506 AN N82E16800999208 1 $10.00 MB nFORCE3-Ultra EP-9NDA3+ EPOX RT N82E16813123222 1 $126.00 CPU AMD 64 |3000+ ATHLON...

Ok, after reading http://forums.anandtech.com/me...=1475190&enterthread=y and working out that selecting memory clock of 166 or 133 (instead of 200) allows memory clock underclocking ... I now intend to go with vanilla PC3200 (400MHz) RAM and aim for 250 FSB (or HT?) for CPU 1.8Ghz...
