Re: [H] 1 TB drives?

I would tend to agree. The WD 640 has proven to be a really nice, quiet, cool running, and reliable drive, so adding a 3rd platter to make a 1 TB drive model makes sense. :) I was gonna get 2 of the 640's for a NAS box running Raid 1, but I might get 2 of the 1 terabyte models instead.

Re: [H] Vista install lacking boot files

Different HD might be a good idea, or see if the manufacturer has a firmware update for your HD.. We have also seen similar issues with new PC's we just started getting at work. Our Image does not work right on the brand new ones unless get into the BIOS and change the HD from AHCPI to

Gotta love OSX. I brought this thing home, plugged it and the mouse/ KB in, fired it up, and 10 minutes later it was configured and downloading my Email for me. :) Everything just works should be their motto... Just rebuilt a PC last weekend with XP SP2, including the 127 updates and

You are right. :) But I am still amazed that when I first turned it on, and told it my email addie and password during setup, and it auto-configured itself and started downloading my email in such a short amount of time. Over wireless to boot, and Pacbell.net does not use the standard

Sure it does, but mine came with a fairly recent copy of OSX, 10.5.2, so I have not needed many updates yet. :) On Jun 28, 2008, at 12:21 PM, FORC5 wrote: OSX does not do updates ? fp At 11:28 AM 6/28/2008, John Steinbruner Poked the stick with: Gotta love OSX. I brought this thing home

Re: [H] That's got to sting

Oh, I know, and all my copies of XP are slipstreamed, but this was a re-install on a Presario from the image on the D:\ hidden partition, so I had to start with XP SP2. :) No OS is perfect, but I guess my only real point is that I am surprised by how little I miss XP and Vista for normal

LOL. I'm on an iMac 24 inch with the 3.06 gig Core 2 Duo.. I have XP loaded in Bootcamp, but have only used it for about 5 hours in the last 2 months to play some Crysis and FarCry.. :) I don't miss XP or Vista too very much... On Jun 27, 2008, at 2:34 PM, Ben Ruset wrote: In any case it

Are you talking about the top of the blue taskbar where it looks like two tops? That goes away if you lock the taskbar, or use Classic view mode with it's Win2000 style grey taskbar... It's not another task bar, just some sort of graphic that shows when the taskbar is unlocked... On
