it was a scam from the minute i saw the word "businessman." business majors don't have to take chemistry 101 in college. we'll call this guy exhibit "A". he has seemed to prove the first two laws of thermodynamics false.
so one guy screwing around in a garage can do something that entire...
i personally prefer ATi cards because they're more robust when you need features, rather than just blazing speed with no options turned on. i would get a 1900xt for now, and crossfire that down the road when they get cheaper. one card isn't that much less powerful than a 1950, and those prices...
i'm pretty sure that it's the card that determines the transfer speed. these readers are so cheap to make anyways, there's no point in making anything except that fastest interface.
sounds good to me. although i wouldn't spring that much money for a 7950gx2, i don't know what kind of performance you're looking for. other than that everything else looks futureproof to me. but i must say i'm personally not a fan of zalman; i like my heat sinks to have some meat to them...
i bought mine at fry's, and i've got an internal usb one that takes a floppy slot. they also have a version that has the multi-card as well as a floppy all jammed into that same spot. dont remember the name but it's all generic anyways.
my old x800xl handled pro/e about the same as the insane sun workstations at school. you don't need a lot of horsepower unless you're going to be modelling an entire car or something with a lot of internal parts and complex geometries. i'd say anything around 50 bucks should probably do it...
the 1900xt is only a small clock bump, i think.
and the fan is noisy because it HAS to be. feel that air coming out the back? there's a lot of it. and it's pretty hot once you get gaming. you're gonna get some noise if you move that much air with a fan laterally. there's no way around...
i tested mine with sisoft sandra, the transfer speesd are right up there with the other high end usb2 drives. in fact, the transfer profile is nearly identical to the sandisk one. either way, they've got a bench of drives just sitting in a container in the checkout line.
i'd say it was a...
