Hey, Ice, mind if I try that DDR Ram out it my rig? I want to see how much difference SDR vs DDR makes. I'll buy it, too, if I like the results. <p></p><i></i>

It is a 7200 rpm drive with a 2mb buffer. I know you want that 8mb monster, but this is what I have. It is still a very decent drive. It is just a few months old. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub141.ezboard.com/bxmenclan.sho ... ceman>XMEN Iceman </A> at: 1/27/04 12:39 pm<br></i>

Sorry Ice, my friend decided to go with a new build. Looks like your stuff is getting snatched up pretty quick though, so no big deal <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.ryanaaron.com/dtm/images/ava ... riable.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--><br><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center">The world will not end in a blinding flash of light or virulent pestilence.

I'm just curious, that's all. I need a 2nd drive for storage of files, etc. lots of images that I have on CD I want on Hard Disk too, and I don't want to lose EVERYTHING on my machine, so I need somewhere to move the files to. <p><!--EZCODE HR START--><hr /><!--EZCODE HR END--><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:red;font-family:Arial;font-size:medium;"><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"Never, Never, Never Quit"</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> -Winston Churchill</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>

When Ice is done, I have a 'puter for sale. Haven't really thought about what it's worth yet. What I can say is that I'm reluctant to let it go because it's the best-performing, most stable 'puter I've ever owned. I just don't use it anymore. Here's the specs:<br><br>Processor: AMD Thunderbird 1.33 ghz 266 fsb <br>Motherboard: Abit KT7A-RAID <br>Memory: 512 mb Corsair PC-150 CAS2 (2x256)<br>Hard Drives: Two Western Digital Caviar 40 gb 7200 rpm (Running Raid 0 Array, 80gb Total)<br>Video: Hercules Prophet II GTS 32mb GeForce 2 <br>Sound: Creative Labs Live! Value <br>CD-Rom: Kenwood True-X 72x<br>CD-RW: Sony 12x8x32<br>Removable Storage: Teac 1.44" Floppy<br>Network: Netgear 10 / 100 NIC <br>Case: Mid Tower <br>Power Supply: Enermax EG465P-VE dual fan 465-Watt (I may have changed that, I'll have to look inside). <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.camerasupport.com/oV/mavsigr ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

Ok, sold the Motherboard and processor today.<br><br>SH, let me know if you want the drive. Offense was meant. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>I ordered my processor today. Hopefully I will have it by Saturday. I can actually start tearing the old system apart. Good time to clean it up. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>
