    Is AMD value for money?

    My thoughts are: Intel currently has more heat issues than AMD. Thus they needed to design the BTX form factor to keep their systems cool enough, with out sounding like a vaccume. If you want a future proof machine, go with the AMD Socket 754 based machine. Those machines are going to be...

    Battery Life Win2000 vs WinXP

    Thanks. I didn't think there would be much diffrence. I run my WinXP boxen at home with the Windows 2000 style them, Max Performance on Visual Effects. System is so much snappier that way.

    Spanning RAID 5 across storage systems

    Can I span a RAID 5 volume across storage systems? Such as using a Smart2/DH to create a RAID 5 volume consisting of 6 disks in a StorageSystem U2, and 4 disks in the drive cage of a Proliant 3K? Or would all disks have to be on the same channel, using multiple StorageSystems?

    Hot Plug Drive sleds

    I scored 10x IBM 18gb 1.6" SCA drives on for $70, and accquired some SCA trays, with various dead drives (Compaq 18.2 and 9.1), and dropped my IBMs in, and all works fine. Just need more SCA trays now.

    Proliant 3000 no boot

    I have a Proliant 3000 with 100mhz FSB board, that won't boot. The only sign of life it gives, is a little orange LED near the center of the board, just below the PCI slots. Anyone have any idea what this could be, or know where I can find a trouble shooting manual?

    Proliant 3000 RAM

    I just bought a P3 board for my Proliant 3000 6/300. I don't currently have any ECC Registered SDRAM, will the system boot with just ECC PC100? I want to make sure that the system board is not DOA.

    Proliant Hot Plug drives

    Is there anything that would stop one from replaceing the 4.3GB drive in a Proliant 3000 drive sled (199598-001) with a larger drive? The electronis on the sled look dumb, so I am guessing there wouldn't, but I have been known to be wrong. I should be able to replace it with any 68pin LVD...
