indeed ... but i have to find another EXACT same ASUS EN8800Ultra otherwise: not gonna do it!

in fact that actuall configuration i have is my dream configuration i would be happy to own in 2007-2008

also i find myself quite lucky that i've found that Ultra for that cheap, it's in a pristine state ... and i didn't know at the time that the Ultra was the highest 8800, always thought the GTX was the highest :roll:

but only the GTX and Ultra are 384bit the lesser models are quite downgraded ... what a confusing time at the time ... 8800GS 8800GT i would had call them 8700 xD

Do you plan to try something like Xubuntu in it?

JunkBear · Sep 12, 2014

Sorry to disappoint you but your lapto pis too old for a SSD. It was IDE hdd so you are stuck with it.

incorrect they make IDE/PATA ssd's for laptops

As @OneMoar said, IDE SSD exists + I can use Compact Flash as SSD.

Smart from current drive (If you want to open file browser on this HDD, you must wait about 10 seconds...): http://wklej.org/hash/57fda85ae8c/txt/

JunkBear · Sep 12, 2014

For the price you should just invest in newer laptop. 100$ with taxes and shipping make no sense for old laptop like that. Compact flash cards could be also slower I expect. Usually they have a speed of writing 4 MB/s no?

"a minimum sustained write speed of 65MB/s for rich 4K and Full HD video. "

OneMoar · Sep 12, 2014

PATA tops out at 133MB/s while the ssd would be bottled necked on sustained read/write it would still offer a fair performance bump tho depending on the chip-set you are lucky to see 90MB/s sustained
tbh the CF would't even be worth messing with for 80 bucks he can get a 64GB ssd witch will be more then plenty

also i need something interesting for ssd/hdd. after long research I was discovered ssd with native SATA-150, Stec Mach 8 - should be working with via 8237 controller what do not have automatic speed detection (wont recognize any sataII or III device) but not yet received that ssd to say if its working here or not. If not im going to use some cool oldschool 10k rpm hdd. at the moment im stuck on really slow laptop hdd

It was good day today, after two weeks of waiting my SSD was arrived from Australia to my Eastern European homeland.

This is STEC Mach8, at the first place SSD might be unsuitable in this thread but the point is elsewhere, it is native SATA-150 SSD (actually one and only that kind of SSD what I was able to find after long researsch!), and it makes this product amazing in that way - it is usable with VIA 8237 sata controller (probably as well with VT8237R, VT6420, VT6421L, SIS760 and SIS964). Soo... You can enjoy true SSD performance with chipset not support auto speed negotiation (wont recognize any sata II or III device, and it seems that there is no sata II SSD with jumper to force speed to sata I mode to get recognized as some sata II HDDs have)

At the moment I am running windows XP on it and it is really fast, boot is probably less than 10sec!

avg. reading speed is not amazing in SSD aspect (~90mb/s) but very fast access time maks it feel really quick compared with HDD what gives same reading speed.

As I was googled problems with these before mentioned really old earlybird SATA controllers, there was a lots of people who was looking for that solution how to get any SSD working there but I was not seen any useful answers, so I probably should be proud of myself and hope somebody finds this post helpful

Interesting find, thanks for sharing!

Picked this up last weekend for $1. Didn't work at the time but pulling the random proprietary controller card for the heart monitoring stuff solved the issue. Keeping it around as we lost our house after the recent Napa quake and it's small enough I can just throw it anywhere.

Also got this a bit farther back, doesn't work but I'll keep it around until I need room.

INDEED!!!

also it saddens me because locally i found a seller with one like theses

but sadly it was waaaaaaaaayyyy out of my budget ... (working state and in a total perfect condition :cry:

)

my first setup XD i feel so young lol

mobo ECS 482-M or something like that.
CPU- AMD Athlon 3500+
RAm 2GB Transcend 800Mhz DDR2
and an ATI HD4650 1GB DDR2!

debs3759 · Sep 13, 2014

Just a thought de.das.dude, but if your pics are going to be so large it might be an idea to get them in focus. If out of focus smaller pics show just as much and use less bandwidth (load faster)

Actually, the top one is 917 KB and the bottom one is 657 KB. Both seem a little large for the amount of real info anyone can get from them. I can make images almost as large that are under 200 KB. Not everyone has unlimited data downloads

to be blunt not our problem or even a problem at all ..
seriously its at worst 1MB loading the front page takes 5MB ...
also those pictures where taken YEARS ago so the quality is fine given the age
if you are gonna nitpick at least be constructive ..

Even though you made a decent point first now you're just fucking ants.

debs3759 · Sep 14, 2014

Sorry to have offended you guys. I thought commenting on the size (they are larger than most peoples screen size) was a valid comment. He brought up the file size so I corrected him. What's wrong with that?

Because you are complaining about a image that OMG is >500KB its not 1996
you are also nitpicking over something that wasn't even worth mentioning OMG i have bandwidth caps please spare me that extra 1MB it could cost me millions
really don't be inane

debs3759 · Sep 14, 2014

No I was complaining about an image that is too large to fit a 1080p screen. Very few people have larger screens than that. Get your facts right before you accuse me of complaining.

since tpu lacks a scroll-able image viewer I concede that point ... o wait
