Pentium IV Release Date

One of my friends told me that he thought the Pentium IV was released as a product for NT servers (only) about 3 years ago. Is that true? Jason

PCL 6 or PCL 4?

I am looking to recommend a printer to my mother and step dad. The PCL6 printers are about $100 more than the PCL4 printers. What does PCL6 offer me that is worth $100? My step dad likes to use Linux, will PCL6 help Linux produce better prints? Thanks, Jason

Power Overload?

I've checked those things. BTW, I don't think it's a power thing. Only one drive shuts down at a time, and they are RAID 0 (Mirroring); so if one of them was to shutdown, both would, but at least one of them isn't. So does anyone think that its the power supply -- not providing enough power...

Power Overload?

For a month I have been troubleshooting this problem. Although I am not stumped, I want your opinions. I have an Antec 250W Power Supply, 2 IBM DMA66 hard drives, and a Promise FastTrak66 controller (which controls the IBM drives and is configured for RAID 0 [mirroring]). Randomly, one of the...

Is RAID worth it?

RAID is worth it for me too. AFAIK, at any point in time, your hard drive could crash. I've witnessed it happen.. I'm a student, and I write papers on my computer. If I lose 8 hours of work, I'm very depressed. I feel SO much more comfortable with my system in RAID 1. If a person does...

Samsung 955DF : Good?

I'm looking for say a $400 or less monitor. I'm most interested in text display quality. I prefer perfectly flat screens. Is the Samsung perfectly flat? Is the Samsung's screen as flat as the Hitachi CM77X (ergo flat) screens? Thanks, Jason

Epson 1240U Scanner. What are your thoughts on it?

AFAIK, the HP 6000 series of scanners provided the same scanning quality as the 5000 series. The added cost was for the SCSI and Ethernet connectability. For someone not interested in connecting their scanner via SCSI or Ethernet, the 5000 series makes more sense... Jason

Epson 1240U Scanner. What are your thoughts on it?

Epson 1240U Scanner. What are your thoughts on it?

Capture RealPlayer Streams?

Is there a way to capture streaming real player video/audo? I think streaming real player streams can be *.ram files. But the *.ram file doesn't contain the video/audio; it only cotains the location of the stream; then the real player plays it; but I can't intercept that stream. Jason

Trying to build new workstation... SCSI or IDE ??

Duh. The only RAID is not RAID 0. I can get two HDs and an IDE RAID card for $350. If I run them in RAID 1. Then it is a lot safer, like I said. Jason

If you program, you should look into RAID. I program, and I hate when I lose my work. I use RAID. And RAID is easy. Hard drives do fail. And the data on the drives is important. Either you make daily backups (and be prepared to repeat all the work you did for that day) or you implement...

I bought some Crucial PC133 7.5 ns, but I am only going to run it at PC100. I want to know if I run it at PC100, will it run at 8 ns. If the nanoseconds is tied to the bus speed, then by cross multiplication I find that at a 100 mhz bus speed, it will run at 9.4 ns. Information please. Jason
