The need for redundancy and up time is from my wife, who run's a little photo business out of our house. I can not fathom the depths of pain I would endure if I lost the wedding pictures of one of my wife's clients, both from her and the bride.

I currently have my motherboard setup doing raid 1 for my data drive(My OS is on a separate raptor). I plan on adding another hard drive and rebuilding the data into a raid 5. I have read the many arguments about raid 5 on the motherboard but I can not afford a couple hundred dollar card at...

I have been using 64 bit for about a 1.5 years now and the only bug that i have found on my system is it also will read only one of my data drives. This is a partition in raid 1 and the other partition is never effected. A simple reboot always fixes the problem and I have found the sleep...

Oh for what it is worth the board is a gigabyte p-35

no one has any insights?

I am in need of more memory on my wife's photo editing machine. I have ordered 4gig of patriot extreme performance (ddr2 800) that the Egg had on rebate in the last few weeks. This will allow me to OC a little bit as well. I have built the machine with a P35C-ds3r from gigabyte and have a core...

I am in need of a backup/portable hard drive for use with my personal Vista computer at home and with the Mac computer at school. Is it possible to have one drive for use on both, I have gotten conflicting answers to this point so far so I wanted to check with the masses. I have seen the...
