I've done VHS --> DVD before using they ol trusty VHS player (had to blow the dust off) and a ATI AIW 9600, Just captured the vid threw the cable input while I watched the vhs. Then I had it saved on HD an could do anything to it I wanted. hope this helps.

look like any upgrades are comming twards SC?? I could use some more ul this 384 crap is just that; CRAP an RR gets' enough of my $$ so the whole premium garbage is not an option lol

06 is beast... it makes my PC cry..

I don't really think Bill is gonna give anything away. Here is something really twisted for thought. Lets say MS has come up with something that will scan your comp or something to make sure that everything is in "order". If this scan finds something that is amiss; Wamo comp locks up, freezes, deletes itself, goes into thermo-melt down and burns at your feet. Moral of the story is you are out of a comp, must spend more $$ either building or buying a new comp, and MS along with all the other companies are going to make more money. lol so yeah check that senerio out

whoaaa crazy double post....sorry about that http://alogan2.photosite.com/Monty/score.html

Storage? who needs storage I am going for 1TB tho ^^ I wanna do it just to do it for the most part. but I gotta get 2 new drives to do it right =P I've been thinking about taking the two IDE drives that I have an plugging them into 40-1 pin RAID slot and doing something with it. Only thing that I'm conserned about is that one is a WD 160GB an the other is a WD 250GB and I'm pretty sure you can't use two different dirve sizes. I think somewhere I saw that it would use only 160 of the 250GB drive to equal it out. But I really have no clue. Also what would it do to my speeds, if anything. Or would the IDE drive array just be slower than the Sata array? Here are my current scores; so what do you guys think about the idea?

thanks for the help guys it works like a champ

cool thanks I'll give it a shot

ah na the RAID 0 is using 2 SATA Segate Barracuda 250gig drives. I've got a WD 250gig IDE drive that I would like to add as storage, I'm not trying to use one SATA an one IDE drive to make a RAID. I'm wondering if I can add it on the "side" so to say lol

I'm trying to add a IDE hardrive to a Sata RAID 0 setup, and it dosen't wanna seem to let me do it. How should I go about doing this? Everytime I add the IDE hardrive to the primary IDE port it wont let windows boot, my bios dosen't even seem to see my RAID 0. But when I take the drive back out windows loads fine bios sees RAID 0 fine DVD that is on the secondary IDE works fine an everything is normal. What am I doing wrong? or hey maybe I've just got everything screwed up haha.
