Maybe there ARE better products out there than the iPod, but there are also better OSes out there, yet M$ currently has how much of the OS market share with Windows???????? IMHO, iTunes has the cleanest interface of any music manager and is very easy to use. The iPod isn't perfect, but for...

There are experts out there that wonder if the difference between SAS/SCSI/SATA is nothing more than an interface and a price...meaning if you took the drives apart you would find exactly the same internals....reliability-wise the enterprise SATA HDDs and the SCSI/SAS HDDs are almost the same...

Don66, I am in the same boat...I have a Opty 165 @ 2.8 (I can go over 3.0 but I have to start playing with voltages)...I was thinking about moving to Conroe... On the other hand, Intel Quad-Core will be out the end of this year and AMD's native Quad-Core (K8L) should be out in less than a...

I have 2x Scythe Infinity...they simply ROCK!

I have 5 WD 500GB RE2 HDDs in RAID-5. I haven't had a single failure. I did have a WD 400 GB RE2 HDD fail on me though...WD's RMA procedure is very very quick... I highly recommend WD...

I have the infamous Clinton cigar if you are interested...
