nmX.Memnoch, I think we are talking on the same line here, and yes I know what´s www.sata-io.org . I personaly just would not put a boot-drive on a multiplier, just storage and optical drives. It´s nice that intel uses it on a 300MB/s interface, looks more marketing then needs, but it would be more usefull on a 600MB/s interface (bus). Did you see the new Seagate 7200.11 by the way? They clame 105MB/s max. sustained .

No, it´s still 300MB/s, and in your words 3Gbps

SAS indeed gives 150/300 and even 600MB/s for each device. If iNTEL does it right it should be 300MB/s for each device as well if they do it like SAS witch is very simular to SATA. But they use port multipliers, and that´s in my eyes a downgrade to your harddrives (not optical drives). UW SCSI 320MB/s needed to replaced, altrough they came up with 640MB/s it didn´t give enough troughput to each drive so they went with SAS. Now they want to use SATA as PATA again, and using port multipliers, so "multidrop" like and not point-to-point. This will give more signal clutter and lowers the performance of a drive, eg 2 drive on each line vs 2 drives on the same line will be won by the 2 drive on each line. But this is just theoretical, I think we have to see the benchmarks/tests first next year .

Well, okay, I wan´t clear enough. I was talking about when you don´t use cooling or the fan dies of the active-cooler . The 1333/1400MHz Athlons were the hotest indeed.

Remove the battery and try it again... that´s what I would do to start with...

I don´t need group policies for that and can do the same with a XP home version as with XP Pro, just using the registry settings (like I´m a nOOb... please). Other then that, I like to do it my way and you do it your way, let´s keep it like that .

I have customers that have schools or cybercafes for example. They can install extra software to block unneeded/wanted stuff or just kick it out. Then I would take it out if it breaks no functionalety of windows for those users. And sure it´s not hacking, it´s like taking out the backseats of your car when you use taht space for other things like a to big subwoofer .

Yes, 1066 would be the best, one-on-one with the FSB of 1066 (4(Quad)+(pumped for marketing )*266MHz(Bus)), but not all chipsets and motherboards handle it well. But price/performance is best with 800MHz DDR2...

Ever use SCSI? It never hurt the performance there. SAS is already using the same type of technology as this. What you're seeing is a convergence of SCSI and SATA technologies to get the best of both worlds (which is what SAS already is). Yes I do use SCSI/SAS my self here for servers and workstation, I don´t sell only low-end systems . I started with those 50 pin SCSI drives long long ago (yeah I´m older then 16...)... 300MB/s Isn´t good enough for 2 drives at full burst speed, okay, not that you have it a lot, and yes, for just storage it will be okay. I think it would be great when SATA 600MB/s comes out .

Bonestone, iNTEL has that feature build in from the Pentium 4, so it´s normal that it lowers the speed. The AMD Athlon S462 just cracked up ore smoked up . Loved the AMD over iNTEL in those times...

I remove services and laugh even more. Also the idea to have more power over your OS . Zxian, nicely said that last line you posted...

Interesting as always... But why not put an extra controller by it self on a motherboard? I see most newer chipsets with 4 ports and up already. eSATA can handle 5 devices with a port multiplier so now the wan´t to do it too for the "normal" SATA. For the signal strength they just rised the voltage on those ports a bit like they did with eSATA and use almost the same "protocol" changes as they did for eSATA to use the port multiplier. Most people will call SATA 150 as SATA 1(I), SATA 300 as SATA 2(II) and upcoming SATA 600 as in logic SATA 3(III) so we will understand each other altrough it isn´t 100% correct in tecnical words . I personaly would never hook up more HDD drives on 1 bus because of burtsmode (Cached) that could get higher then 150MB/s of each drive. I see it as a good option for optical drives... Other then that, just marketing as always, but good if it´s almost for free . EDIT: just a picture and a link.

On a server I would never use nLite/vLite, but: On my own systems I use nLite, and with succes. But indeed saying things don´t work when you broke it your self isn´t right. The forum part that uses nLite/vLite on the forum is so big because people love it, and play with it, sure 85% doesn´t know what they are doing and that´s the biggest part of the nLite/vLite section. 50% Of 2000/XP/Vista is useless to me and doesn´t break any program that I use when removed.

Do you ever post anything worth reading? Auch... that must hurt 90% Of the posts are not "worth reading" but he didn´t post them, so why complain about it .

It could be that you get better timings with the 800MHz versions when they are working on 667MHz. Also you can play a bit more with Overclocking or so if you like. Price is the same by the way... And half of the 1066MHz ones... DDR3 1333MHz will give you DDR2 1066MHz performance in troughput, altrough the timings are better at that speed with DDR2. DDR3 800/1066MHz is useless in my eyes and even to get 1333 you need some 1.85volts to let it work... Let´s see what happens in 2008 ...

Are you using XP or Vista? If you are using 98/ME/2000 then I´m not supprised that it doesn´t work. Some BIOSes need to be set to work with USB keyboards too...

Why did you change your mind? Any way, go with something bigger then the cooler you linked too, did you see the cooler I linked?

For real, you think you will notice any diference between 800 and 1066, or 1066 and 1333? Not even between 800 and 1333 . By the way, I OC ADATA (VDATA) DDR2 800 to 1000MHz here, voltage on 1.95volt .

Right, for that price you can build a better machine with a REAL video card to play games with .

S-VHS to Euro-SCART, ask the people in the shop to help you, they should know what they sell .

Didn´t read it, but going to do now, great link, thanx .

Your VGA card has a TV-decoder build in. It uses S-VHS to connect to a TV. If the TV doesn´t have S-VHS then you could convert that to the European SCART. You should use the ATI-controllpanel to set the video-card to multi screen. First get the cable to fit, then play around with the controll-panel and ask us some more questions .

Next week iNTEL will release some "models in between" and come with new prices altrough we are already talking here about the new prices. Prices and modelnumbers can be found here. THere will be 3 types or Quad cored CPUs, the 120W, 80W and the 50W version that clocks at max. 2,66GHz for now, but it looks like a great overclocker too me.

No, Never do that. Listen, the brushes that clean the drum are old and need to be replaced, also the waste -compartment could be full. Just buy a new cartridge for 80 bucks, nmX.Memnoch gave you the link .

I wonder why you like to have a 8000rpm 4cm fan... Any good reason?
