[opensuse] Need advice on upgrading to 64bit computer
I'm currently using and AMD Athlon 1.4MHz computer. Planning on upgrading to a more modern motherboard and cpu. Currently leaning toward AMD but I'm a little confused thus the following questions maybe someone can answer. 1) AM2 vs 939 socket, I leaning towards the AM2 2) Is Dual-Core worth the extra money, leaning towards Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 5000+ 3) Gigabyte, Asus or DFI motherboard, Want 2 IDE interfaces (4 drives) Current choices are ASUS M2N-E SLI Gigabyte GA-M44SLI-S4 DFI NF Ultra II-M2 All 3 boards have at least 1 com port (required) The ASUS has only one IDE interface (could live with this if Asus is the better board. 4) Finally, what are pro/cons for 32 bit or 64 bit of opensuse on a 64 bit computer.

Terry,
I think that is a CRC error on your ide cable. ie. Your disk is
reading the data fine, but in the process of sending it to the
controller it is developing a problem. I find that bad IDE cables can
cause this problem more often than not. In particular ATA133 is only
speced to work on flat cables with a max. length of 18 inches. In
general I see 2ft cables used a lot and also those round cables look
cool and help with airflow, but they are not as good electrically as
the flat cables.
Greg
Just so happens I have those round ide cables. I also have two ide
drives hda and hdb.
hda is 80Gb Western Digital while hdb is 160Gb Maxtor. I'll try
replacing the ide
cables and also place the 160Gb drive on ide2 (hde). Hope this works and
solves the
problem.
I do have SMART set on in the BIOS along with smartd running. The command
smartctl -H /dev/hda reports:
SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED
Thanks for all who replied,
Terry
