    SATA HD's good comapred to IDE?

    theres no speed difference on a single drive system no, you would be hard pushed to max out a ata 133 bus or even ata 100. SATA can be a pain to use as a boot disk with xp windows setup, where as IDE has no problems. IF you decide to setup up mirror/raid later SATA is much better since it can...

    Why Today's Graphics Card Market Sucks

    Nice well written post but I disagree with your premise. The only way to remain sane and spend money on computer gaming and comsumer elctronics in general. Is to see them as a consumable, like food, drink etc. Its funny its most people including my self will grumble and moan about...

    Trouble with dual boot installation

    no it wont, now I could be wrong here but i think im probably not. The first PRIMARY partition on the boot disk will be the C: drive Then the first primary parttition on the 2nd disk in your boot order will :D and so on. One way round it would be to shrink the vista partition using a...

    there is a way to do it but its quite complicated theirs no simple way. the reason it wont work is because the boot loader is on the C: drive theirs no boot loader on the F: drive, so when you try to boot from F: you get an an error. The solution is remove the vista drive compleatly for now...
