Here's what I've done to quiet and cool my system: Moved everything into an Antec P160 case. As shipped, the P160 comes with one 120mm exhaust fan. I moved the...

Mark, that would be most generous of you to send the whichever monitor you consider is the better under Windows64. I think I would be looking at normal rubber...

I have seen earlier versions of CPU-Z, but this version knows all about my Gigabyte 64-bit machine. The really interesting thing about CPU-Z was in my 32-bit...

Mark-- What is there about your system that is not standard? I have installed perhaps ten different distributions of Linux--many in multiple versions--on a...
Ah, Mark you see unlike David Neeley, you must not be a unix/Linux guru. But if you sit at the feet of a guru for some weeks/months/years you too will...

First, I am by no means a guru--simply a Linux user. Second, there is no doubt whatsoever that hardware detection in Linux has improved markedly over the last...

LOL ask mark, i'm assuming he had a specific application. I'd rather go thru SATA than USB2 though, since that's just one more interface you're transferring...
On never mind, getting bits and bytes muddled. 480Mbits/s on USB2 equates to approx 60 MB/s. PCMCIA is therefore still faster and a dedicated SATA port at...
From what I've seen, USB2 typically runs around 16-18 megaBYTES per second after all the protocol overhead. Maximum tops out (with only one device attached) at...
exactly. Like I said it's usually easier & faster just to go from point A to B instead of A to C to B, even if C is suppose to be technically "faster". Just...
