Yea thats all I get for mine too.

Yea I think I'll put my ata's to work in my file server for backing stuff up.

Well the main thing was I just wanted to know that those western digitals would be a good choice and hearing that you've never had one fail on you give me more reason to pull the trigger on them.

More stuff for me to worry about while im online .

, well thanks for the help.

Ive also seen raid 5 but never have quite understood that. Lets say I were to buy 4 of those wd's and put them in a raid 5, what would that give me vs raid 0?

But if for some reason you wanted to reinstall it then, right click your connection under network connections, then click properties. Click install, service, qos packet scheduler, ok, and make sure it is check marked, then your back to normal.

I get better performance with it uninstalled, so I would test it out with it installed and without it installed to see what works better for you.

Yea Ive heard good things about the hitachi but the western digitals are 99 for 250gb so they are a much better value.

Yea those have one of the best price per gigabyte on newegg so buying a couple to use in a sata raid will be a good deal. I was thinking of getting a motherboard that supports sata II but because Im tied down to a socket 478 I cant find any that support it. Oh well I might have to upgrade my processor and motherboard too, but I was thinking of that anyway.

Are your western digitals sata 2?

I'm looking to upgrade my storage because my 160gig ata133 is getting full. I've been wanting to run a raid 0 for awhile now and my motherboard supports sata raid. Something that has caught my eye is sata II, or sata 3gbs. If I were to purchase 2 sata II drives could I run them on my sata 1 raid motherboard. I'm thinking that it would be backward compatable and would run at sata 150 speed, is this correct. I would like to do this so in the future if I upgrade to a board which supports sata II then I won't have to upgrade hardrives to get faster speeds. This is the hardrive I'm thinking of running in the raid 0, does anyone have any experience with this drive, sata II, or know of a good drive to accomplish this task? Oh yea, I want it to be pretty quiet too. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144417

Heres are site with a lot of free antivirus programs, http://www.thefreecountry.com/security/antivirus.shtml.

Yep, you try it and if you like it, buy it, if not uninstall it.

There are no free versions, only trials.

In the reviews and tests that I have seen kaspersky has a better detection percentage.

Yep, thats all I use anymore.

No beta, but I wouldnt be suprised if they buy somebody out soon like they did to giant antispyware.

Oh sorry I didnt see your above post saying you had direct way. I just read that you didnt know anything about what satelite you're on.

Try powercycling your modem, sometimes you need to restart it for an upgrade to be in effect.

Thats nice, too bad time warner insists on keeping the upload at 384. Your a lucky person.
