GUI isn't everything . . . but it sure helps.

For once I wasn't saying windows was any better, just that nothing is

I'm getting really ****ed off with how slow this dual Athlon MP 2800+

Hold that wallet a bit until you're su

most "slowness" is because of the storage-bus bottleneck.

You could have 5 terabytes of storage accessible by a
liquid-nitrogen-cooled 14CPU system, but still get the responsiveness
of a 80386.

Of course, XP is a bottleneck in, and of, itself.

I removed the storage bottleneck. Four 250MB 7200rpm drives connected
to a £250 3ware 66MHz/64bit PCI RAID card. The processors can't
write data that fast!

Besides I have 2GB of RAM, soon to be 3GB.


Try SCSI 320.


I don't have THAT many credit cards. How much for a terrabyte of SCSI
disks?


Probably about £4,000

It's a stupid price. And people keep telling me it ain't a lot better than IDE. It most definitely is not worth the price. You'd be better getting more of the IDE stuiff for the same price, and ending up with a higher capacity, and more drives to put on a bigger raid.

SCOPE-a replacement for the un-pc term "spastic" used by many a school
child to ridicule someone inept or stupid. The Spastic Society changed
their name to SCOPE...and the slang term evolved.


Oh right, I just use the un-PC terms. You retarded ****** you.

I don't think I want to pass a pentium. Last time I tried that

Try a 286?

Not erotic enough.

Try a 469?

Is that a vehicular item?

Something like that.

Sounded like a Peugeot.

Vauxhall you ****ing yank.

Try SCSI 320.

Probably about £4,000

It's a stupid price. And people keep telling me it ain't a lot better
than IDE. It most definitely is not worth the price. You'd be better
getting more of the IDE stuiff for the same price, and ending up with a
higher capacity, and more drives to put on a bigger raid.


I'm making the switch when I can . . . it's the only bottleneck I know.

Alien beings from a highly advanced society visit the Earth, and you are the first human they encounter. As a token of intergalactic friendship, they present you with a small but incredibly sophisticated device that is capable of curing all disease, providing an infinite supply of clean energy, wiping out hunger and poverty, and permanently eliminating oppression and violence all over the entire Earth. Do you:
a. Present it to the president of the United States.
b. Present it to the secretary general of the United Nations.
c. Take it apart.

Let's see what we can purchase in the UK.....

£103.28 - 7200rpm 250GB IDE.
For this price we can either go for a 15000rpm 18.4GB U320 or a 10000rpm 36.7GB U320.

WTF is the point in a drive that small? And there is no way it would be any faster, larger drives are much much faster, especially when you are using a small amount of them only. I don't care what interrface they use, the mechanics wouldn't go any quicker. It's liking buying a car capable of going 3 times faster than you'll ever drive it - the acceleration is plentiful.

A real ****er, if you ask me.

Switching TO scsi?

Correct.

Why bother? It's not all it's hyped up to be. Just get more IDE.

Oh, it is.

Problem at the moment is that WinXP has a little performance problem with
it.

But, I'm sure MS will be fixing that rightaway . . . .

Let's see what we can purchase in the UK.....

£103.28 - 7200rpm 250GB IDE.
For this price we can either go for a 15000rpm 18.4GB U320 or a 10000rpm 36.7GB U320.

WTF is the point in a drive that small? And there is no way it would be any faster, larger drives are much much faster, especially when you are using a small amount of them only. I don't care what interrface they use, the mechanics wouldn't go any quicker. It's liking buying a car capable of going 3 times faster than you'll ever drive it - the acceleration is plentiful.

Bull****. I can get over half a GB per second on my RAID card. I've yet to see drives that need this.

With my old card yes. But the bottleneck was with the PCI slot it was in, not the IDE part.

"I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence?

SCOPE-a replacement for the un-pc term "spastic" used by many a

changed
their name to SCOPE...and the slang term evolved.

Oh right, I just use the un-PC terms. You retarded ****** you.

During the weekly Lamaze class, the instructor emphasized the importance of exercise, hinting strongly that husbands need to get out and start walking with their wives.
From the back of the room one expectant father inquired, "Would it be okay if she carries a bag of golf clubs while she walks?"
