Maxtor 100GB Hard Drives, really worth it?

Gemfire James
Just asking for opinions here, but why oh why is Maxtor making these huge *** IDE hard drives? I've seen things like 40, 60, 80, 100 GB hard drives, in my opinion, it's a waste of time to even get a drive that big considering the most that goes on those things is your OS, and a few applications, the rest is on CD.

RAID still sluggish under RC1?

evil Homer
I have an Abit KT7-A RAID board with an Athlon 1. 2 ghz. When I recently tried out build 2485/6, I noticed like a few people that the system became really sluggish. Finally traced it down to the Highpoint drivers used for the RAID.

HELLBRINGER
I don't know if it is hardware related but I will tell you anyway. After running Win2k Server for a while on my server, trying to go in and do things it gets EXTREMELY UNRESPONSIVE! I am not sure if it is a memory leak or what the problem is.

XP activation

alexis
After reading through this discussion forum, it seems a lot of you are familiar with XP. I not yet had a chance to sample WXP, but am curious about the whole activation process. I heard conflicting information about the licensing process.

Sound card with DTS

KingNothing.com
I am looking for a sound card with either a DTS decoder built in, or that will send the DTS signal to my receiver via digital coax or optical output. I already get Dolby 5. 1 output through my ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon, but I want to be able to experience DTS without having to buy a standalone DVD player.

OS selection during boot

HELLBRINGER
This is'nt really completely hardware related but this seemed the most appropiate location for it. And there are a lot of posters in here so I will most likely get a response faster. Heres the deal. I have Drive C, drive C was reformatted.
