webcam usb keyboard usb mouse usb scanner usb printer parallel monitor power 2x firewire for hard drive and camera cat 5 lan cat 5 cable modem i guess that is 11 total o wait sound cord alsoo makes 12

sticking with maxtor cause they have never failed me i am going to be putting the drives in raid 0 to do some video editing for a friend then i am going to break the array and use the drives for storage.

Quote: I think you'll have enough space now I hope so I have been suffering with this dell mid tower since november I love the tower but it is too small for this rig and I need to sell it to get back some money on the $480 I just spent on the 80 gig drives and the case.

getting this case and 2 7200 rpm 80 gig hard drives for my system http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage.asp?...-124-005-06.JPG can't wait should be here next week btw i am selling some of my stuff check my post in the for sale forum

I have an abit hot rod pro raid card that uses the highpoint 370 chipset i want to know what the maximum sized is for a striped raid array on that chip. I was going to buy 2 61 gig drives but i am not sure that it will support over 120 gigs in an array. I know that it supports hard disks up to 137 gigs so does that mean i can run 2x or 4x 137 gig drives?

can't wait to get this stuff i am getting a full tower case and 2 7200 rpm 80 gigs so when i am done upgrading i will have 240 gigs total in my system. 220 gigs just for storage/video editing. oh yea i've got me a firewire card also.

i have had 90 gig arrays on it b4 and i have an 80 gig drive on it now i think i will be all set

so 2 60 or 80 gig drives should work in an array no problem then

well yea but they only say how big a drive it can support it is just that somewhere i saw something about the max raid size being like 120 or 160 gigs but i was probably mistaken. I have the old manual for it somewhere perhaps i should go find that or something.

yea asus is great i am a tyan man myself asus and tyan are quite different though

i use the 22.80 drivers here newer drivers have strange effects on project igi

Quote: but this can be adjusted IN ps, not really an issue w/this particular program so are you saying that there is a way to run photoshop when windows has no page file? How?

get something from asus with an intel chipset not sure on the models but i know that there are 2 chipsets i845 and i845d support sdram and ddrsdram and the i850 supports RDRAM the i845(d) is cheaper and the ram is cheaper stay away from standard sdram with the p4 cause it will kill the performance you need the 845d or the 850 don't mess with via you may get burned sis is supposed to be ok but i wouldn't really trust them either. intel has a history of performance and stability and compatability you will pay more for intel but the 845d is very reasonable.

Quote: Windows XP sucks IMHO because: [*]Infinite loop crashes which still haven't been fixed (Via/nvidia issue but it doesn't happen under Win2k). [*]USB devices randomly being dropped (probably a Via issue but it doesn't happen under Win2k) [*]Web view removed - okay, many people don't like it but I do and it annoys me that MS didn't give us the choice [*]Explorer randomly locking media files - happens with mp3, avi, anything really, only way to delete/rename/move the files that get locked is to kill explorer and use the command window [*]Simple File Sharing and other stupid things enabled by default - okay these can be disabled, but many people don't know where the options to disable them are and so get confused (eg. a win98 user migrates to winXP and can't figure out how to password protect shares - with simple file sharing you just can't) [/list:u] 1: via sucks i have not had one blue screen on my i840 with my Geforce 2: via sucks my usb works fine 3: isn't web view enabled by default (I think I may be confused as to what you mean by web view 4: never had that problem 5: windows has allways required a lot of configuration after install i don't think that xp is any worse

that is a format that APK came up with i have been meaning to make it smaller thanks for the coment.

Since when does Windows XP suck?

i edit my drivers manually to set the refresh rate here is a bit about how to do it that i pulled off some messageboard Edit the .INF file of your TNT/TNT2/GeForce drivers (AFAIK it only works with the NVidia reference drivers (this includes all the misc Win2k drivers from NVidia themselves, Asus, AOpen, etc.), it might not work with any Creative or Diamond custom drivers). Look at the end of the file, all the different card types supported by that driver are listed there under the section "[strings]". What you need to know is the codename of the card, i.e. "NV4" for TNT1, "NV5" for TNT2, "NV10" for "GeForce" and so on. Assuming you have a TNT2 (="NV5"), search for a rather large block of lines looking like this (note the "NV5_Modes" string which indicates that these settings are for the NV5 cards): code: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HKR,, NV5_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 640 480 60 70 72 75 85 100 120 0" HKR,, NV5_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 320 200 60 70 72 75 0" HKR,, NV5_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 320 240 60 70 72 75 0" HKR,, NV5_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 400 300 60 70 72 75 0" HKR,, NV5_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 480 360 60 70 72 75 0" HKR,, NV5_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 512 384 60 70 72 75 0" HKR,, NV5_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 640 400 100 120 0" HKR,, NV5_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 800 600 100 120 0" HKR,, NV5_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 1024 768 100 120 0" HKR,, NV5_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 1152 864 100 120 0" HKR,, NV5_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 1280 960 85 100 120 0" HKR,, NV5_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 1280 1024 60 70 72 75 85 100 120 0" HKR,, NV5_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 1600 1200 60 70 72 75 85 100 0" HKR,, NV5_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 1920 1080 60 70 72 75 85 100 0" HKR,, NV5_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 1920 1200 60 70 72 75 85 0" HKR,, NV5_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 1920 1440 60 70 72 75 0" HKR,, NV5_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 2048 1536 60 0" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This has already been edited by me. As you can see, you need to overwrite the undesired refresh rates ("60 70 72 75 85" in my case) with spaces, so the desired refresh rate at a specific screen resolution is the lowest refresh rate number in the according line. Here, I've deleted all rates below 100Hz for 640x400, 800x600, 1024x768 and 1152x864, and all rates below 85Hz for 1280x1024. Note: there are multiple blocks of lines for different color depths: 8, 16 and 32. Listed above are only the 16bpp modes. You should do this for all three color depths. Then reinstall the driver with the new .INF file. This should solve the OpenGL refresh rate problem. If you need higher refresh rates for DirectDraw/Direct3D games, run the DirectX Diagnostic Tool (DXDIAG.EXE) and switch to the last tab ("More Help"), click the "Override..." button and enter the desired refresh rate. I'm using 100 here, too. This should solve the DirectDraw/Direct3D refresh rate problem.

i think i would not have anything to do with amd or via HCL or not get yourself a intel chipset and processor and leave via for all the penny pinchers. If you are using this computer to study you don't want to have random bluescreens and lockups that via is so famous for. VIA sucks they have allways sucked and they will probably continue to suck far into the future that is unless everyone realizes they suck and they go out of business or something.

if you don't like it don't use it i like my ms software and i like my intel hardware it works well. i am sure that no via chipset could ever come close to the stability reliability and ease of use that my i840 board has.

one more reason why via sucks.

nice i guess i will have to get something new pretty soon to keep up with the times. I just have a gf2mx400
