Glad you get to start your "new" one.

One question: Are you going to run RAID0 again ???

Later Ted

Hell no. Even if I could, I wouldn't.

Hey dzomlija

GOOD ANSWER !!!

**roy69** · 03-17-2008

At least you get a good excuse to build a new rig how you want it, with no aggro from your misses.

**Dzomlija** · 03-20-2008

I'll post back within the next couple hours - I'm currently building my new rig ("Prometheus") around an AMD Phenom 9600 Quad

Prometheus, huh? Interesting choice:

"Prometheus was the son of Iapetus who was one of the Titans. He tricked the gods into eating bare bones instead of good meat. He stole the sacred fire from Zeus and the gods. Prometheus did not tell Zeus the prophecy that one of Zeus's sons will overthrow him. In punishment, Zeus commanded that Prometheus be chained for eternity in the Caucasus. There, an eagle (or, according to other sources, a vulture) would eat his liver, and each day the liver would be renewed. So the punishment was endless, until Heracles finally killed the bird. Prometheus is known to be one of the most interesting characters in Greek Mythology."

Yeah, well, considering that I'm using the Phenom processor, I considered calling her "Undertaker", but that name is already in use, so I stuck with my original choice, Prometheus.

Good choice for a gamer...Prometheus is considered responsible for bringing fire to humans, in Greek mythology of course...
