Hi,
I read about this subject and I can make conclusion that this is almost the same thing. Spaned volumes are created up to 32 disk and I presume with empty one but in OS it looks like single disk.
Striped volumes (RAID-0) are created from multiple disk. Unlike a spanned volume, however, data is written to all physical disks in the volume at the same rate.
Does this mean that with sppaned volumes data is written to first disk, when this one is full than will data be written to second one and so on. Is this the main difference ?

Let's say I have two computers called A and B. I also have two 512MB VGA cards and a 1GB VGA card. All the three cards are from the same manufacturer and of the same model.

Now I connect the two 512MB cards in SLI mode to computer A. The 1GB card is connected to the computer B. Assume that all the other components (RAM, Processor etc) of the computers A and B are same.

1. Which machine will be the best gaming machine?
2. Which machine will be more expensive?

Explain your answers.

Is amd better than intel. I have heard both sides, and i think amd is better. Which has a better price, faster? ( i build computers and i dont know if i should switch over to intel, i am currently working on a gaming computer with a raid 0 or 5 array.) Also if you think intel is better, which one do you like the best that is a reasonable price.
Thanks.

My computer recently just started, at seemingly random moments, going into bursts of speed, making music, movies, games and even flash apps jumpy and unbearable.

I also recenlty bought a hardrive that used SATA when all I have is IDE, so I bought a usb converter thing, and plug my hardrive into a USB port.

What's happening? Can it be fixed? Is it the new hardrive forking with my system? Will the Lone Ranger make it back to the ranch on time? Tune in next week, or answer my question to be awesome.

My daughter's computer won't boot up anymore. According to her, the computer crashed (possible virus as she described a series of windows that opened that could not be closed) so she powered the PC off. Now when powering on, the power light comes on and the fan can be heard, then it seems to immediately shut off then power on again about twice every second. I even tried removing the BIOS jumber on the main board to force the BIOS recovery startup, but it still does the same thing. Any suggestions?
