It's to be expected. 3Gb/s is the interface transfer limit. The actual transfer rate is entirely limited to your hard drive's capability, which in your case is 300Mb/s.

I think you perhaps also read too much into my reply. You can't post "Yeah I guess panda sucks, if you're an id***." and expect to not get an answer like "True idiocy comes when you actually require an anti-virus.". Like I said in my last post, "Bold statements will only generate bold counterstatements. It's to be expected.". That being said, I do believe, dispite what people may think of my point of view, that if you actually REQUIRE an anti-virus to operate a computer then you shouldn't be using a computer at all. What are you doing on the internet if you can't navigate the internet without an anti-virus? If you're going around the internet and constantly picking up viruses, then you either lack the education needed to understand what you're doing or you just completely disregard the necessary precautions of internet navigation. You simply cannot blame so called security exploits as reasons to have an anti-virus. I have NEVER run an anti-virus on my personal computer since my first XT. Yes, I do have a much higher understanding then the average user, but my point is simply to illustrate that I've spent all my time on the internet unprotected, nor by anti-virus, nor by firewall and have never caught a virus through a so called security exploit. And trust me, I've navigated to some of the most renown places for virus infections. Everyone knows that you shouldn't drink a liquid when you don't know what it is. If you found a cup in the middle of nowhere and didn't know what was in it, would you drink it? If you do, how can you be suprised if you get sick? If every time you found a liquid, which you couldn't identify, you drank it, you're bound to get sick. Where is the logic to say that every time you find a liquid, you NEED to give it to someone else to verify it before you drink it? Wouldn't it just make more sense to leave the liquid there because you don't know what it is and drink a glass of something which you know of it's contents? The internet is the same way. If you don't know what you're downloading, why are you downloading it in the first place? Perhaps the problem is not that you need an anti-virus but instead you need to stop downloading things which you can't trust.

You have no real understanding of anything you just wrote.

True idiocy comes when you actually require an anti-virus. Bold statements will only generate bold counterstatements. It's to be expected.

Users on a network authenticate as guest. A number of things could be going on. The guest account could be disabled. Guest may not have access to a share. And the list goes on.

Again, there is no such thing as SATA II or SATA I. You just don't get it, do you.

It has nothing to do with style. It has to do with some basic issues. For one, you can't turn off the firewall without it ALWAYS popping up. There are no options to disable popup notifications either. There's a complete lack of control when using Panda. True idiocy comes when you actually require an anti-virus.

This was just discussed not even two posts before yours. And I quote from the official website for SATA (http://www.sata-io.org/namingguidelines.asp): There are no "versions" of SATA. There is simply SATA. There is no such thing as SATA I or SATA II even though a whackload of companies use them. SATA is SATA, period. What changes is which features they support. A so-called (wrongly named) SATA II drive may not even support 3.0Gb/s, it doesn't have to. It only has to support the SATA protocol, what it supports after that is up to the manufacturer of both the chipset and the drive. SATA devices (both the controller and the drive) can support either 1.5Gb/s OR 3.0Gb/s using the SATA protocol. The following features are OPTIONAL and may or may not be supported regardless of the transfer speed: Asynchronous Notification ClickConnect eSATA Hot Plug Link Power Management Native Command Queuing (NCQ) Staggered Spin-Up xSATA This is why you will find SATA drives that are 3.0Gb/s but do NOT support Hot Plug or NCQ, but you can find SATA drives that are 1.5Gb/s and DO support Hot Plug and NCQ.

I are zee hackerz?

There is no such thing as an Intel Celeron motherboard, btw.

*smacks you* There is no such thing as SATA I or SATA II.

ZoneAlarm.

NCIX if you're in Canada NewEgg if you're in the US

Corsair PSUs are OEMed by Seasonic.

Do not double post.

Newer Asus motherboards have long POST sequences. Everything's fine.

You may get away with running the telephone signal on the unused pairs in 10/100 configurations. The quality of your cable will be a direct influence as to how successful you are though. Another thing to keep in mind is that is you do so, you'll never be able to run 10/100/1000 on the same ethernet cables because that uses all four pairs.

Clinging to IDE is like clinging to 5¼" floppies. There's no point. It's old technology, it's not properly adapted to modern needs and it's being phased out. Anyone who choose to continue purchasing new parts based on IDE is wasting their money.

Please, learn C# and save us from all these "I claim to be a programmer because I use VB" pseudo-programmers.

Pioneer DVR-112D hands down.

I hate that piece of software. Even if the anti-virus portion may be effective, the interface is hell and the popups never-ending.

Antec power supplies have gone to the s***ter. Right now I'd recommend a Seasonic power supply or a Thermaltake Toughpower.

Asus Commando motherboard... it's killer.
