48-Bit Card

[Dissolution]

Where can I buy one of those 48-bit cards to enable support for my 160GB hardrive, becaue every other ay seems to be failing.

well first review
http://www.48bitlba.com/ and or
requirements to break the 137GB Barrier to see if your missing something, if not...

then most any IDE controller card, will be employing SCSI drivers
and 48 bit LBA isnt applicable in that case
so any modern IDE controller card should do,
I like the Promise Ultra 100TX2 dual channel ATA & ATAPI support $28

If your motherboard and OS can't support a drive that large, it might be time to consider an upgrade or either or both.

well for a primary box, Id agree
but then, not everyone that posts here lives in the G7
(not sure if Kentucky qualifies ) jk
and then there is always making old hardware useful again

an older box might make a fine fileserver for a small LAN
Hell Im posting from a 900MHz with Knoppix in a RAMDrive
damn secure browser box, it all goes bye bye with every reboot

Yes, it seems to be the only international organization we haven't been voted out of yet.
