another question to add to the mix. paparazi you state that in every day use these cards don't come close to there speed rating. i read a review on the kingmax that agrees with that statement. But the sansdisk card claims " Have a minimum sustained write speed of 9MB per second and a read...

the kingmax is 5 years and the sansdisk is life time. who knows what we will be using 5 years from now. so really 5 years could be lifetime for me. Are digital cameras typical limited (speed wise) by the memory card or is it the other way around. I am going to use this card in a pretty cheap...

I see thanks. In that case. Actully looking back the cheaper one is $30. Is there any reason that you know of (such as build quality) why i should pay an extra $15 for the name brand?

I'm looking for a sd card for a camera i'm getting for Christmas. I saw a kingmax 60x which is a 10mb/sec max tranfer rate card for $35 (256mb) but i also saw a sansdisk ultra II which claims it handles no less than 9mb/sec write for $45. is this just a marking ploy is the sansdisk going to...

Will do. although a tight pocket book may have me sticking the the 160gb drive instead. Although i have a sata drive in my main system and in the future i may go the raid route. Thanks for your help.

If you do not need Terminal Serives or VPN you may be able to go with linux as your server software. Depends if you want to use microsoft exchange or not. If you don't linux would be more then enough. For print and file sharing and basic email services, linux is not that diffcult to setup and...

I understand the concepts of raid but that is a good note about the cheap raid card. One thing that i didn't know if that raid1 could provide simultaneous data from the disks. Thats interesting. Also my sever if mainly for learning purposes for database development and a game server (hence...

I have an 80gb WD 8mb cache 8.9ms HD right now, in my server. I want more. The 80gb is about 2 years old i belive. I've seen another one for $34.99 after rebate and i could get a raid card for $16.99. Same hard drive just new. OR i saw a 160gb segate with 8mb cache 8.5ms for $50 after...

I would like to use visual basic though MS access to control IBM's Personal communications software. Scoty do you have any tips on what dll's i should use and any other tips or pointers?

What about those molex things you can buy where you get a knob to control how much power goes to your fan? Can't i make something like that on my own? Doesn't any body know how?

I have this loud cpu fan i gave to my sister. It was great for me when it was my system, but she is not going to overclock. So now i want to slow it down a bit. Is there something i could buy from radioshack that could slow this fan down. Maybe voltage limiter or something. Something...

If this is the case, that why is a monitor considered to use more juice than a pc. Most pcs have atleast a 250-300w powersupply. The 120w from the monitor is only half of that. What gives? Also if you have a 300w powersupply is that powersupply always grabbing 300watts of power? Devices can...
