ya the Q6600 sure does rock my old comp actually booted up faster so zxian, how do you like the 'Big Boy'? but ya these guys are right, a cheap Core 2 Duo with an Asus board will work very well for you. it doesnt sound like you play games at all so you might as well save your money and get a 7300GT.

i wasnt talking about the price, i was talking about performance. and newegg must have gotten rid of that discount, for a while i think the 74gb raptor was around 130$ which i know is still crazy.. but now its only 15$ more for the 150gb versions, lol. i just want to try out a raptor some time and see how they really are, i just cant force myself to pay that much for it.

well it also depends on what he is after. a high read speed wont help everyone.. and i think im confused about where you say that yours wins in everything but random access? the average read is the same. yours has better burst. so is that it? 2x74GB raptors look better to me in that case..

wow, this will be a hard decision when i find some time i'll find a bunch of reviews on the WinTV-HVR-1800 and then when the ATI TV Wonder 650 PCI-E comes out hopefully there will be some early reviews on that one.. but that Hauppauge is looking really good. ant it's pci-e but where are they for sale?

well i dont have HD cable or anything, not until the big change comes and we're forced to get it.. i would just like to get those over the air HD channels.

it better fit! it's such a good heatsink! what exactly is so bad if it's just touching the psu a little bit? and why do u want to run it fanless? just put a fan on it at low speed to keep safe. if u want to have the psu exhaust its air then just put a fan on the bottom pusing up

the hdd isnt out yet and the only stores that have them are no name stores. those are all pre-orders. wait for it to come out to newegg.

okay this is just sucking now http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quicksta..._as3/#clickPlay im trying to have an event call a function, which i can do, but how do i add parameters to the function and pass data into the parameters?

does that only work for AS3 tho? mine program works good in AS2 but i think i need AS3 for that embed thing and my program isnt working when i publish it in AS3.

how can i add a font to a flash video? i want to add like 50 custom fonts but they will only work if the user has the font installed on their computer.

so anyone have anything more to add to this? b/c i do want to get a tv tuner eventually, especially when i get my new monitor which will be bigger than my tv i need a pci-e and that ati card is looking pretty could, but i dont see it anywhere for sale..

crap ur right, the way i do that type of stuff is that i have a process.php file where any processes such as dloading or logging in would take place, just so that i dont have 20 different files for each process. <a href='process.php?action=download&file=whateverfile.pdf'> so i would have to call it like that then use your script then this is how the process.php file would look: <? if($_GET['action']=='download'){ $file=preg_replace('#.*[/\\\]#','',$_GET['file']); $path=''; if(!file_exists("$path$file")) die('File does not exist'); header('Content-type: application/pdf'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file'); readfile($file); } ?>

does my way work tho. that's what i've been doing forever. just because you have to click 5 times then drag a box over that doesnt mean that you cant use it..

To an extent. Once it gets to a certain number of drives the speed increases stop and the only benefit is having the one large array vs. a bunch of individual drives. If you're going to put more than 2 drives in a RAID0 array, that's when I recommend just moving to RAID10. well that prolly has to do with the conroller also. buy ya, raid 10 is a good idea, if not, raid 5.

ya but doesnt that only matter if you running it in RAID? the raptor x also claims to have better cooling with its little fins, prolly only helps by one degree, lol. there is only a 5$ difference in them at newegg.

well there are 2 types of fast. the random access time and the tranfer rate. the raptor has a rly low random access time while raid give a high transfer rate..

who said anything about an expensive drive? your raptor is an expensive drive! 500GB are currently between $110 and $120. the 7200.11 will hopefully be near those prices.

well the more hard drives in RAID0 the faster is it, but the more risk there is to losing all of your data..

lol, just wait a couple weeks, first week of september is when tech support said it will come out. they better be telling me the truth

play on tv has nothing to do with the windows way tho. you go to desktop properties and you will see ur monitor and ur tv and just enable the tv..

ya have you just tried using the windows display properties instead of the nvidia control panel?

for some reason every time i boot up my comp i am always brought to the advanced startup options screen.. and i am doing a normal shut down and everything, vista was running fine for a day and now it decides to do this anyonce have any ideas? i think i may have to it while trying to disable that stupid driver signing.. i entered in a few different things before it finally disabled it.

well games always look better on a good computer than on a tv..

http://www.wdc.com/en/company/releases/Pre...60EF1AF650FB%7D is that only for the 750GB drives tho or for the others also? sounds like some good technology.

9MB/s difference
