Heh ....
I have a quick detach system which you don't see in the posted pics (although you would see with the website). Only involves removing a few screws and its completely transportable with no spilling. Very good system.
Thank god, because I've hauled it from PA to KY for a lan...
Memory timings are more important for AMD systems than Intel, so if you're running a P4 I'd say don't bother paying extra, really. But Nick is right, you can probably pull of 3200 speeds at CAS 2 on that 2700Cas2, thats just the way it works.
Apparently, you are misinformed. The Raptor is built off of an older SCSI platform. The hardware is identical, the interface is different. That is where the two technologies differ. I can do more research and find out more info if you're still skeptical.
My Win2K reference was about the...
The 15k.3 and the WD 10K are a different class altogether. WAYYY different.
And you will have no real need for u320 unless you're pushing that much bandwidth .... like in a RAID array, otherwise no. The 15k.3, although fast, only pushes 80MB/s on the outer platters. Don't bother.
I went the...

the hose layout you see and the motherboard is my old setup ... old motherboard, and without the GPU waterblock, which kinda made me put hoses alllllll over the place as opposed to the neat and tidy setup as before.

I got my Atlas 10K II a while ago (damn! no rebate for me!) and its a dream. It performs flawlessly, and DAMN games start fast. Its a lot of fun ripping CD's to the hard drive and then running them from there. It makes load times blazing fast when a game (no matter the install size) seeks to...
That full-tower case . . . it would be pretty decent for some heavy duty work if you stuck an 80 or 120mm fan in front of the lower hard drive bays. It'd take the place of my "omg, wtf is jutting out of your computer" I-Storm-II (Its one of THE best coolers you can get, and damn it...
That'll kill your hard drive very very quickly. Even if it doesn't I'm sure after a time you'll get decreased performance because of all the vibration.
Jesus, I can't believe there isn't more of a reaction to this! This is one BLAZING hot deal! Normal prices for PC1600 won't come this low for a loooong time, let alone the sky-high prices they are right now. Check out the prices for the 256 module! Its only $10 more than two 128 meg chips...
I just wanna know if there are any quality alternatives. I don't want to blindly jump and buy some product without knowing there are different (not nessecarily better) programs out there that do similar things.
I think you can grab it at sysoft.com
But the one thing that worries me is the change in speed. I wouldn't be worried if it had of been low the whole time . . . I'd of just consulted a different benchmark, but 26k to 19-21k is a BIG difference
One question . . . unless you don't have the room, why wouldn't you put it in your system when you'll use it a lot more? If its the TDK with burnproof, then you won't have to worry about not being able to use your computer while burning . . . unless you just don't want your sis fiddling around...
I am quite pleased with my TDK VeloCD right now, but once again have another question (this is just one of my many other posts) about recording. This time its about raw format.
With clone CD . . . I ripped a CD with all that subchannel reading etc checked . . . but when it came time to write...
When I first got the drive, I shut everything down and ran SISOFT Sandra benchmarks on it. I got around 26000 every time. It was quite nice. Later, even with everything shut down and the disk defragged, I'm getting 21,000 or so. Huh?
What speeds do you guys get on the disk benchmark? This...
As long as your 48x can do audio extraction at 12x or higher you should be A-OKAY . . . but sometimes thats not set in stone.
As for making copies of programs that come onto CD, thats what copying to the hard drive is most important for. the TDK CD-RW is one of the few CD-RW's that can read a...
Definitely go with the KT7-RAID, its very nice and having two ATA/100 cards raided is a VERY nice speed boost from anything you can possibly imagine.
As for that much RAM, sure, go ahead if you have the money . . . but I would only go that high (256 would be my typical limit) if I would be...
If you really want a cheap price on a GeForce 2 card go to buy.com and order the GeForce2 by Gigabyte. Its retail . . . for 180. Then use a $30 off 150 coupon available at techbargains dot com to bring it down to 150. There is free shipping too.
Dunno, haven't read any reviews on it, don't...
I highly recommend the Athlon systems for the main reason of price. In any real-world or synthetic benchmark, the results where the P3 manages to beat the athlon are very minimal and wouldn't be a noticable change. For such a tiny difference (and better performance all-around) you could save...
Perhaps nobody mentions the P4 overclocking to high speed because it costs so much to get the damned things. P4 + RAMBUS + MOBO = wayyyy too high for anyone on the slightest budget.
I hate intel for sticking the P4 with RAMBUS. Prices won't come down to good levels for a while now, so I have...
Its simple economics. Perhaps its just ONE of the reasons its not being released, but such factors play a major part. Everyone knows that processors would be MUCH faster if intel and AMD weren't milking the market for what its got. The reason speeds come out slowly isn't so much a quality...
Thank god for the ability to read CD's RAW . . . so we don't have to worry about copy protection. Thats what I'm genuinely thankful for. Just got the new issue of MaximumPC in the mail, and they did a CD-RW roundup (I suggest everyone checks it out, its great) and the VeloCD got a kickass...
Well I was setting up a friend for a Quantum 30 gig HD and a 12x CD-RW for under 225 EDIT:(before the $30 quantum MIR):TIDE but now it looks darn bleak I'll be able to do it so low :-(
~~edit~~
Yeah, but sadly my friend wants this drive stat . . . and I was depending on those coupons...
you know . . . one for buy.com . . . for new and returning customers. Dunno, but it was supposed to last to the end of the month. Its not at t***bargains.com nor do the links work at any other site (f**wallet.com etc)
Same goes with a whole BUNCH of coupons. It seems like they all...
P3 550E@850, PC133 RAM on 150mhz bus, 128 megs of RAM.
Mule: a drive that can rip or is that just READ? 44x is astounding.
BlingBling: With the new firmware upgrade, it will rip an audio track at the end of the CD at ~32x. I tested it myself . . . just going from CD directly to MP3 seems to...
I'm confused . . . perhaps its the program or some other fact thats limiting me, but this shouldn't be happening IMO.
I'm quite happy with ripping full CD's to copy them to another CD at a max of 32x with my new TDK, and its great, but I'm having trouble ripping a CD to MP3 format for storage...
