The New AMD Building Thread

bigwill68 : That particular Card U listed from Newegg only has one IDE hook-up
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816124011

I'm in need of two, but thanks for your help

 

Have you plugged the drives direct to the mobo to be sure its the card?
I ask cause it sounds like a ODD drive problem and not a card.

 

what you trying to do hookup 4 drives? Cause you can do piggie Back with the card Master/Slave off 1 IDE connection Brother That's what i'm doin now but 1 drive is open with no jumpers...You only need one IDE hook-up for 2 drives

 

rick5446,
Look up the page a little and you'll see where I posted a link for exactly what you are looking for! When I need one it's all I use! I get lots of old computers where the IDE controller has gone South!

bigwill68: I realize that, but I need 2 ide for 2 DVD RW & 2 HDD
theonejrs: Thanks Russ I did order that

 

you would have came out cheaper if you would have went to the Mic picked it up (No shipping cost)...they got the same card as Russ told you about also there O well...

 

I am in the process of a new build, will have two writers, and possibly in the near future will want to install a second hardrive, would I need one of these contraptions to do so?

 

Fred,
No! LOL!!

Russ

 

Fred,
No! LOL!!

OK, probably all you guys will have many laughs by the time I get done with this, it's ok, I would be laughing myself, just remember guys, lets put it this way, I would love to take a bunch of you guys on one of our construction sites, you wanna talk about having fun with new guys LOL.

Our favorite would be to get an apprentice and tell him to go get us a bucket of steam, and yes all of them would go searching.

 

Negative! You're talking to a guy that cut his teeth climbing both towers of the George Washington Bridge in NY/NJ before I was 12! I've sent Rookies in search of a Left Handed Monkey Wrench! LOL!!

Russ

 

LOL, not to break your bubble Russ, we used that one also, I can name you at least 20 but of course that would be another thread lol.

 

bigwill68 : Ya didn't tell me that

 

By the way I did order this one also
Syba 2x ATA/133 IDE PCI VIA6410 chipset
SKU: 434019
Manufacturer Part Number: SY-ATA6410-2I 1bt $12.79 $12.79
TOTAL AMOUNT $18.78

It WASN'T ANY CHEAPER

 

that was because of shipping cost add right? you don't have a Micro Center near you? i was just trying to save you some money on shipping cost at $18.78 your paying $6.00 bucks in shipping that's almost half of $12.79 on the part itself...I don't burn that in gas to go get the part myself maybe cause it's in the same city...i live in best of luck Rick what ever you decide on to do

by the way I got a few of these pci express cards also from the mic

How does this look for a DEAL On a Computer

I'll be damned, global just e-mailed this same page to me, after looking at I said wow what a deal, if I hadn't ordered the build I did with newegg, I would have jumped on this one, not really savvy enough if this is a better build than the one I ordered.

I know I have a better mobo, but the rest looks like it rivals mine.

 

FredBun : Thats always the way when U order something its always less expensive the next day
I'm building a Computer 4 my Grand Daughter and I spent around 600.bucks for a similar Comp

Your so right Rick, but you know what, I'm still happy as a pig eating S#$T with what I got, but if anybody is looking for a deal cause I have been doing a lot of researching this past couple of weeks, I would give this a serious look.

 

Fred,
Not even close! The case is all right but I wouldn't give the PSU house room! The memory is sub-standard, 667MHz, and why would anyone want to build an AMD on an nVidia chip MB in the first place! The AMD chipsets are better by light years in every respect! nVidia ia still smarting from the ass whoopin that AMD gave it just a few months ago in a shoot out of AM2+ motherboards. nVidia planned to win that one (that's why they accepted the challenge) and even had some big shots there to impress! They finished second to the AMD chipped MBs by a wide margin! LOL!!

It's very simple really, if you have an AMD AM2 and up CPU, you want an AMD chipped motherboard! Right now there is no substitute!

Russ

 

Well that takes care of that tune, like I said before, no matter, I'm still happy as a pig eating s#@t with what I have.
