Oh, by the way, look at the following URL for the instructions on "creating" (well, it's really HACKING) your own inexpensive IDE RAID controller. Look for the subject: "How to convert a Promise IDE-66 into a RAID ctrl!"...

For issues like UDMA66 vs. Maxtor vs. whatever... and workarounds... you should definitely check out the Storage Review discussion board (another UBB system like H-R.COM.BBS): http://www.storagereview.com/welcome.pl/http://www.storagereview.com/ubbcgi/Ultimate.cgi Main URL at...

Well,if you are interested in SYSTEM STABILITY, it pays to get a stable video card with stable video drivers to match! Top of the heap is Matrox with the G-400. Matrox have long been known for stability AND speed in the graphics professional community. A slow card will also slow down your...

Unfortunately, the motherboard chipsets that are used by the Athlon, K6-3, and K6-2 processors are not quite up to snuff for DAW work. The processors are quite fine otherwise! Over time (like maybe 8 to 16 months) new generations of motherboard chipsets will be introduced by Sis, Via, AMD...

With this class of board, I'm partial to the various Allen & Heath MixWizard models, due to their low THD, low noise floor, and excellent flexibility. Info at: http://www.allen-heath.com/products/wz20s.html http://www.allen-heath.com/

I was just talking about this soundcard in another post, but if this sounds like it'll float yer boat(s)... 4-channels in and out, 24-bit A/D, fast and stable dual-channel MIDI... Independent testing shows that the LynxOne has the best analogue sound quality of any soundcard that you might...

Yes, I have indeed seen Bigsby tremolos on Telecasters before. If you can, just play around with a Bigsby on a vintage Gibson ES-xxx, SG, Les Paul, or Guild clone thereof to get an idea if you could stomach a Bigsby tremolo unit. I for one am not too hot on them, but that's me. I guess if I...

Ah! But there IS a fine hand-built (and rather expensive, too) humbucker out there that'll do this Dr. Jeckyl & Mr. Hyde job quite well... It's the Barden Two Tone Humbucker. Info from the Joe Bardens website below: THE HB TWO/TONE (this is a large humbucker -- GH) -------------------...
