can i save an nview profile?

I have set up a dual monitor profile with the nview software on one system, but i'd like to be able to save the profile to floppy because there are other systems that will need the same profile but are not on a network - is there any way to do this? thanks :)

Fastest drive for DAE?

i bought one about 2-3 months ago after reading some articles comparing DAE speeds, and at that time the Lite On 16X was the fastest. unfortunately once i got the drive i deleted my bookmarks so i cant point you to any links (im sure others can). Anyways i find it to be a super fast drive.

WD w/ 8meg cache or seagate barracuda?

is the WD much louder? I dont want anything that is going to be annoying. The only other HD Ive had is a 3.2Gig Western Digital which Im still using 5 years on. If they havent improved their sound levels by now I'll have to go with the seagate.
