Thank you everyone for your opinions. Also thank you for considering my specific situation, as strange as it may be. I think at a minimum, we determined that a GTX460 and GTX470 are my options. While the price difference doesn't matter to me, I think I will go with the GTX460 because it runs...

I'm still using a CRT, so max resolution would be 1600x1200, but I normally play games in 1280x960. power supply is a corsair hx520. (520w) 2GB RAM.

I currently have an nvidia 8800GTS. It's ok, but I'd like to play crysis and some of the newer games at high quality settings. The GTX480 and GTX580 seem too expensive and too hot. Is a GTX470 a good card to go with? Would a GTX460 be a better idea? -Must be nvidia (lets not go into it)...

Supposedly I could get this to work by following this procedure: Except the "A Windows logon credential" option is grayed out and not available. Awesome.

I have an old HP deskjet 940c that worked fine as a shared printer when the client computer was windows xp. Now I got a new computer and the client computer is windows vista. I can easily get it print from the vista computer (I have to type in a user name and password when I add the printer)...

Folder structure doesn't matter, do it however you want. There are defragmenting programs that can put certain files on the faster part of the drive though.

lol that's what good scientists do. If you don't like the results of a poll, make sure to start asking people that will vote the way you want them to!

This won't impress anyone here, but I thought I would share. Corsair HX520 power supply RAID 5 Areca ARC-1210 four 1.5TB Seagate drives one 500GB Seagate drive 5TB advertised capacity. 4.55TB formatted capacity. All in windows xp 32-bit :)

Four 1.5's from newegg. They were packaged fine, just the way I've always received them before. Multiple layers of bubble wrap with packing peanuts inside the box. I updated the firmware. They have been working fine for about a month.

I use RAID5 and then backup the important stuff to another drive. The "import stuff" is significantly smaller than everything else, so old small drives work fine.

I have four seagate 1.5's and they are working fine for now. They came with SD17 and I updated them to SD1A before I ever used them.

I guess I got lucky. :P

Well I've been using an Areca 1210 with four 1.5TB drives in RAID 5 in 32 bit windows xp for a few days now. The only issues I've had were with some really old hard drive benchmarking software. Either the block size or the total size is probably too big for them. Everything that I'll actually...

I have owned both. My experience has been exactly the opposite.

Seagates 5 year warranty was the thing that made them different from everyone else. too bad. :(
