    What is so good about Mac ajnd Mac OSX...?

    I doubt that there is or was anything wrong with the machine. Remember that we all use programs different ways. Just because it doesn't crash for you doesn't mean it can't for someone else. On another note, troubleshooting a problem like that is nearly impossible, I tried to find some...

    What is so good about Mac ajnd Mac OSX...?

    I've seen Itunes bring down an imac about 5 different times. Even with it completely updated. Frankly, I had winxp on my computer for years and it crashed like that once.

    What is faster?

    They absolutely are, but it would still cost less too by that hard drive and a scsi controller than the ssd drive. It wouldn't be that much faster than a raptor, according to the reviews I looked at it really shines with random data access.

    Dumb Q -> With SATA, can I put in 4 optical drives?

    I'm equally lazy, but I just used game exe's that don't require a cd. I'm pretty sure that if you own the game legally you can do this. If this is against the rules of the forum, please let me know and i'll edit this.

    What is faster?

    These drives are absolutely for laptops at this point. Due to thier lack of moving parts and they use much less power. However, since you seem to be looking for the absolute in speed, even at this devices steep price. I would look into the 15k hard drives. I seriously doubt that a ssd is...

    Can not access particular website.

    It's hasn't even been an hour and a half since you started this thread, 32 minutes since the last answer. Be patient! :mad: Only thing I can think of is that the website blacklisted your specific computer and or ip address. Especially since you can access it through a proxy. I would contact...

    Wireless drops when...

    My best guess as to why its only on an incoming call is because the phone base broadcasts on every, or most channels when it receives a call. Try changing the channel to 1, 6, and 12 to see if it helps.

    Raid Write > Read?

    The read speeds with raid 5 is faster than the write because when it is writing the data it has to calculate the parity bits and write them as well.

    Starting Out

    I've known quite a few people with lots of networking book knowledge. Frankly they were just as useful at solving problems as someone who had a basic knowledge. Unless of course the problem was one of the ones in the book.

    Two RAID0 setups - wanting to use one as a backup

    Clearly you were not running a raid-0 array then, you take one drive out of a 2 drive raid-0 array you've effectively lost half of every file on the computer which makes all these files corrupt.

    Let's end the RAID-0 debate

    I agree with this because boot times are going to increase due to the controller having to detect all of the drives at boot.

    I would say because that PS is overkill for your system, but based on your sig money is clearly not an issue.

    Security on city wide Wi-Fi

    You should go over some of the problems that they could have with it. Like every script kiddie in the city trying out their 1337 hacks on the wireless network. And trying to keep people from getting into other computers.

    Repeated DDoS attacks

    WRT54G cuts my bandwidth in half

    WPA kills wireless speed, its the price you pay for wireless "security." It is unlikely that you will ever achieve wired performance with wireless.

    Is there a difference between these two cards?

    Well, the circuit city website doesn't say much of anything about the actual specs of the card, so the only difference is the very end of the model number.

    My Hard Drive is Dying I Think

    Try unplugging the data and power cable for the hard drive. Don't forget the data cable on the motherboard. Then plug them back in and see if you have the problem anymore.

    my raid 0 benchmark

    Pevo is talking about theoretical peak bandwidth. I had my raid 0 array on a sata 150 controller for a long time. Burst was always about 120MB/s. Then i put it on a sata 300 controller, and the burst speed went up to about 210MB/s.

    Dynamic FS/RAID5 questions

    I don't know of any software raid with online capacity expansion. But i do know that some of the high end raid controllers support this. The more discs that you add to an array the higher the likelyhood of one of them failing. I'm not totally sure what amount of discs in an array would warrant...

    Notebook Hard Drive Question

    You shouldn't be able to notice a difference between them, but i am suprised that a 40GB hard drive came with a 16MB cache normally they use smaller ones on smaller hard drives.
