Unable to enabling UDMA5 in Linux

Hi, I'm running the vanilla kernel 2.4.19 on an Abit BX6-2. I have a Proimise Ultra 133TX2 card in it and have two Maxtor D540X 80GB (ATA-133) drives connected to this controller as /dev/hde and /dev/hdf. These two drives are on the same ribbon. The controller and the drive all support the...

eVGA GeFORCE2 Ultra 64MB 4ns W/TV Out & DVI (Retail Box) $99 Hot or Not?

I currently have a Elsa Gladiac MX (Geforce2 MX) that I was upgraded after an RMA of a Elsa Erazor X (Geforce SDR) took over a month to get shipped out. I also recently bought a Cornea Systems CT1702 from ecost.com for ~$770. I was interested in getting the Geforce3 with DVI because the LCD has...

KSD monitor replacement suggestions?

I want an opinion from you all about which KDS monitor to choose. I originally purchased a KDS AV-195TF. It had problems and has been replaced a couple of time because the replacement units that KDS sent me died too. Well, the AV-195TF is discontinued and they want to send me a VS-21e or a...

Power supply problem?

Hey you HW freaks, need a little help with what I suspect to be a power supply problem. The warning signs: 1) On my monitor, adjacent to dark areas (like black text) there are streaks that run on both the left and right sides of the text. At first I thought it might The evidence that points to...

HOWTO: Rice Your Car

I find them annoying beyond belief, especially at 2am. I don't want to hear someone's car idling like a teapot in the middle of the night. For the most part, I think most people don't really care about the look, but more about the attitude of the drivers behind the wheel. In general, driving...

Bottleneck? Next piece to upgrade suggestions

<< If your still considering the video or cpu upgrade, I'd go for the video. It'll cost a little more, but you'll see a bigger improvement. I saw a larger improvement overclocking my ASUS GForce 256 SDR than I did going from a TBird@900MHz to a TBird@1200MHz. The biggest improvement per clock...

A+ Question, does this seem correct?

Since the drivers are built-in, B should be the correct answer. For other components though that don't have built in drivers, you should install the software first, and then when you plug it in they will be automagically recognized. I usually just leave everything plugged in. If the drivers are...

Bottleneck? Next piece to upgrade suggestions

Bottleneck? Next piece to upgrade suggestions

Duvie, Thats the same logic I was thinking. For about the ~$140 - do I want to invest in "old" technology, or doing I want to get low end technology that has a future. The Duron performance should be incredible, and when the T-birds go down, I'll be able to pop one in.

I don't mind taking out the MB and stuff like that (my case is generic, but sweet so its easy --> MB is on tray that slides out), but money wise I'd like to get the most return on my investment.
