Can someone explain to me why maximum video resolutions are different between CRTs and LCDs? I never knew this...

Very good at isolating sound from headphones with outside noise (thus good for a mixing DJ), but they are not cushioned enough so they hurt my ears after a few hours of use. If you're at a LAN party, this is not ideal for extended use.
Woo! I got my i-RAM yesterday. Finally made time to install this morning. I haven't moved the database file over to the RAM drive, but I do have my browser cache and e-mail indexer over there. Fantastically fast. I don't think I can ever go back to putting the browser cache on a hard disk...
Denithor - thanks for your good advice. Normally, I would something like you suggested, but I have two strikes against me: 1) I'm running Windows 2000 still (I know, I know...) and 2) I think 2 out of the 4 memory banks on my Dell got fried so I can only run 2GB. Every time I put 2 x 1GB in the...
$135 for the unit, plus ~$30 per 1GB stick. I'm probably looking at $250 to use DDR instead of DDR2. Some of my friends are saying I should just run mirrored Raptors since the performance on will be better than the drives I currently have. They strongly suggested I not use stripe since the data...
Hmmm, you mentioned RAM disk. I thought I saw something by Gigabyte that was a hard drive but you put a bunch of memory chips inside?
edit: found it - its called the i-RAM: http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte...rd-Drive/dp/B000EPM9NC
This would be a nice supplement I don't have to use a disk...
Thanks, but that wasn't the question though. I'm not asking about the merits between SQL Server vs Microsoft Access. I agree though, I would use SQL Server if I could, but the applications I use require Microsoft Access as the database.
I'm doing a lot of work with Microsoft Access. About three different databases ranging from 500MB to 1.5GB. Lots of queries (both reads and writes). My Mirrored setup (Seagate ST3160023AS) is helping with reads, but I need better write performance. I'm looking to set up 4 SATA drives on my Dell...
That would be great for a pagefile.sys or scratch disk for PhotoShop. Not sure I feel comfortable putting a database file on something like that. If there's a power outage for any length of time, I think you wuold be screwed...?
Here's a diagram of RAID 1+0:

For storage utilization RAID 5 is better than mirroring. But I'm looking to boost my write performance on my workstation. From what I'm reading, RAID 1+0 should do a better job than RAID 5. SATA drives in...
thanks xitshsif - that helps. Initially, I wasn't grasping that you can stripe multiple physical disks that logically appear as a single drive. It sounds like other than paying more upfront for the cost of a controller, RAID 1+0 looks to be the better configuration over RAID 0+1.
thanks. I saw that too. I can visualize RAID 0+1 which is just a striped set being mirrored. Minimum of 4 disks. Disk 1 & 2 can be striped. Disk 3 & 4 would be mirror of Disk 1 & 2.
But I can't visualize RAID 1+0 for some reason.
