Dumb question about hard drives - be first to clue in the newbie!

Dumb question for you all: Is there a difference in cabling between ide, ata/33, ata/66, and ata/100. I have an ata/100 drive on the way and wonder if it will plug directly into an older abit bh6 motherboard. Thanks.

20GB Maxtor drive for $70 and NO rebates

Anyone confirm linux support for this setup? I did a search and found linux support for ata/100, but not in this specific configuration. I don't really want a ata/100 Pci conroller as a doorstop.

84% of people support a Missile Defense System...

Haha, the latest test failed utterly. I am not surprised. Even if it had succeeded it would have proved nothing. Lets see, the defense system knows when and where the attack is coming, the number of decoys, the material the decoy and warhead are made of, the exact trajectory. How is this...

People begging for jobs.

Tell them they had better have a url of thier own homepage, and that page better be somewhat sophisiticated and use standard design principles, and they better be prepared to justify thier decisions on a line by line basis. If they don't know where to go to learn html, they are already in...

Have NT server... would I benifit from a linux box?

You may also wish to consider FreeBSD, an implementation of Berkely Unix. It is more secure than linux or NT but operates in much the same way as linux.

Favorite networking sites?

Hehe consider my sleeves rolled. I'm already doing a sysadmin stint, and I get tired of asking my superior for the answers. To at least show that I've looked is going to put me in a much better light. My background is CS and not IT, and they don't cover networking (other than programming the...

Favorite networking sites?

I'm a bit new to this game, as if you couldn't tell, so I was wondering where the pros here go to research networking issues? Specifically, Windows networking (I know where the linux goods are). I use microsoft's forums and technet but who else has good networking forums and articles? Thanks.

Have NT server... would I benifit from a linux box?

You should be able to do all that with linux using win98 clients with very nice performance. All the networks at school do that. Not sure about streaming quotes, but I've seen a lot of progs on freshmeat.net that stream from financial websites. For an NT person linux is ... challenging...

Need some tips for making good conversation.....

Women like to talk about themselves and enjoy the opportunity to do so, just like most men. Give her the chance. Better yet, find out about her. What does she do? Hobbies, interests? Then go look into them, do some research. You'll have plenty to talk about, and she'll be impressed that...
