    Sata III as eSata for Sata-150?

    the jumper settings are to bring the hard drive down to 1.5gb/s. the only thing is i'm unsure it will work. if you can get the hard drive to work at the 1.5, then i would suggest doing that and using the esata option on the enclosure. otherwise you will need to use the usb interface. the sata...

    Sata III as eSata for Sata-150?

    i couldn't find sata jumper settings for this drive. setting a jumper to 5-6 may or may not work. some people complained that this drive may not be 1.5 compatible. however, since your having a separate issue just powering the drive anyway, i think you should get a usb external enclosure...

    P4 motherboard marked can support ATA / 100, but why ATA / 33?

    Two routers connected, sharing internet?

    you could just run a cat5 wire from your router to your NAS/printer. this would be the cheapest solution. otherwise you would have to buy another wireless device (router, switch, access point) to connect the NAS/printer to and access separately. this would probably be more complicated and...

    NEW Virus Alert!

    in this case it seems like more time would be spent undo-ing what the virus did rather than just wipe and reload.

    Sata III as eSata for Sata-150?

    okay so looking at your specs you do have an esata 1.5 port. esata can come in 1.5 and 3.0 speeds, but since your internal sata runs at 1.5 my assumption is that your external sata port will do the same. as far as compatibility with sata 6gb/s drive to a sata 1.5gb/s, i'm seeing that this drive...

    NEW Virus Alert!

    i don't know about this particular one, but i have seen others that are similar. are you saying the boot files can't be repaired by anti-virus? removing the virus from starting up is key whether by startup, registry, infected files. i find that these types like to hide in the registry and...

    Sata III as eSata for Sata-150?

    i think so or at least others out there do. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r25736491-hard-drive-any-SATA-6-compatible-with-SATA-1.5-controller although, you might want to include your model laptop and what hdd your considering just so we can take a look.

    CPU UPGRADING QUESTION!!!!

    Definitely go with the quad core with plenty of memory at least 8gb. Be sure your vidoe card is one that is plenty good for crysis and you should be good on the rendering. Its not just all about the cpu. Everything needs to be up to spec to prevent any bottlenecking.

    Enable AHCI mode after installing Windows XP

    as far as i know, you cant. you will need to reinstall windows again this time with ahci enabled and make your own custom xp disc with the sata drivers using f6 option.

    CPU UPGRADING QUESTION!!!!

    what you plan on using it for. tell us: which os 32/64? what apps will you be using? which games will you be playing? my choice might be the quad core just to have one, but then i think in reality the dual core will be faster.
