Yeah, f'n ethanol IS the devil. I just spent almost $500 having my 2004 Honda VTX 1300c repaired as a result of this garbage. Totally ate the carb and petcock up. Should be banished from the earth. Thankfully I found a couple of 100% gas stations in my hood.

If I just want to use this is a secondary drive to store music, pics etc on does the 32mb vs 16mb cache matter for this purpose? Also do retail kits like this typically come with the SATA cable?

This thread has been entertaining to say the least. In case anyone skips to the end and doesn't want to read the entire thread. Here is the Cliffs Notes version. One person has an unnatural obsession with trying to convince everyone how shitty the suits are yet has never actually seen...

Bruce, Thank you very much for the very helpful info! Will try your suggestions and report back what the end results were.

A friend of mine has a HP built to order computer she got from Office Depot just under a year ago. She inadvertantly did the recovery thing during a computer foul up. She had Microsoft Office pre-installed when she purchased the PC. After the recovery she is being prompted to enter the key...

Great GPS! Have owned for about a year now. Another option on picking this up for cheaper would be to go the flea bay route. There is a seller offering hundreds of these for $162.45 including Priority Mail shipping. Go through Microsoft Live Search and get 25% rebated off that price...

This is the right size and cheap! small suitable case

Thanks! I came here looking for 2 gigs for a friend and this hit the spot! Still available for $19.99 with free shipping after $25 rebate. Have never had any trouble with OCZ memor or rebates.

Got mine from Geeks today. It did say 6ms on the box. Shows up as the M24E14. Not going to tear it open to find out if it is S-PVA or P-MVA. It was manufactured in 08-2007. Very pleased so far! No dead pixels or buzzing noises.

Thanks! Will do!

Thanks! Sorry I wasn't as clear as I would have liked. This is exactly what I need. The motherboard, as you noted, in this new Dell inspiron 530 has no PATA (IDE) ports. I just wanted to be able to use my older NEC with the IDE in this new rig. The links to the products at NewEgg are...

Placed an order with Geeks this morning before they ran out again. The info in the site still states 6ms so hopefully I get the P-MVA panel.

I want to use my trusty NEC 3550A in my new Dell Inspiron 530. Can someone point me towards what sort of adapter/cables I need to be able to hook this up to my SATA motherboard? Is there anything I will need to change in the bios afterwards? Thanks!

Sorry linked to the wrong RAM. I thought I had found the same RAM at ZipZoom also with a rebate so you could get a second set but it was different. It was this, Corsair PC2-6400 I bought a set at NewEgg and then got another set at ZipZoom for about the same price after a different rebate...

http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/...sp?ProductCode=80061-9 $28.90 after rebate with free shipping at ZipZoom. More importantly the rebate there will allow (2) rebates for those of us that want to pick up 4GB.
