power requirements of OSB flash drives So I'm shopping for parts for an MP3-playing computer, to replace my 200-CD carousel (that just forgot all the titles to my CDs). I quickly realized SSDs are crazy expensive, and provide performance I just don't need. (I sleep in there, so silence is paramount; heat is important too, as the case is fanless.) So ... 7 May 2008 12:35
Can a (second) hard disc consist of only 1 extended/logicalpartition? Or is at least one primary necessary?

External drive for libdvdcss ? I'm in the market for an external USB2 DVD drive. Can anyone recommend anything cheap that libdvdcss can bypass region protection on? That is, assuming it'd be RPC2 these days, I'd need one that still allowed raw access despite that. Even just general hints as to which brand-names to buy or avoid would be useful. I... 19 Apr 2008 14:42

Debian's Kernel 2.6.24 and future versions: Use amd64 or 686? Hello. I noticed Debian doesn't make AMD K7 Kernels anymore as of 2.6.24. I assume this will be like this for future versions. I am planning to upgrade my Kernel from 2.6.22-1-k7. Do I use amd64 or 686? I am not planning to use any 64-bit stuff on my old Athlon 64 3200+ 754 single core machine (512 MB of RAM (... 20 Apr 2008 17:11
wanted: a video capture card - not RF/OTA/cable I'm looking for a good choice of video capture card. But I don't one (just) RF input. I'm really looking for component (YPbPr) input with hardware compression, and a corresponding output. If it can also do other formats of video, that's a plus. HD would be a big plus, too. -- |WARNING: Due to extreme spam, ... 21 Apr 2008 09:18
Promise TX4302 support? I have a Promise TX4302 controller installed in Dell Optiplex GX270 with a Seagate FreeAgent Pro 750 drive connected to the controller through one of the eSATA ports.
