@xmagistar Well you can if your Motherboard has the appropriate slots … Most will ONLY have SATA or IDE, not both

What do you mean by modify? Why not get a Mac Pro first, see how much you can configure it before you talk.
On a Mac Pro you can add up to 32GB of memory, four PCI Express expansion cards, and up to 4TB of hard drive storage. You can use ATI or NVIDIA graphic cards.
Spend sometime looking at the Mac Pro before you talk.

If the word “Advanced” means everything is one part and you can’t possibly modify it, then you get a cookie!

GO away you Mac fanboy.

So Obsessed? Well, I came here to see where the competition is. I worked as a PC technician in the early 90’s building, upgrading and fixing PC’s. And I remember what a mess it was to change something as simple as a Hard Drive.
So yeah, it’s heart breaking that they are kinda stuck in the 90’s.
I use both PC and Mac, so I’m speaking from experience. I bet toblenetobias has never used a Mac for up to 7 days at a time.

so is it possible to install one IDE HD and one sata HD on the same computer?

Then What?? My Vista PC (with a proprietary Acer case with a hard-to-find power supply) took a Sh*T! Now I would like to take that hard drive clear it and put it in my XP machine but I’m not sure how to do that. The hard drive still has Vista on it (Vista 64 bit). My Xp Machine has XP 32 bit. Anybody have any suggestions?

I fucking love how at 0:27, he doesn’t have a screwdriver, but at 0:29, it suddenly popped into his hand.

February 24th, 2010 at 12:18 pm

February 24th, 2010 at 12:18 pm
At this point don’t even bother with IDE
February 24th, 2010 at 12:18 pm

February 24th, 2010 at 12:18 pm
you can see they must have been thinking about this for days before and though it was really funny – lol it is

Thanks, friend! I figured it out a bit ago. I felt my hard drive was on the verge of crapping out so I cloned it and installed a newer one!! PC works like new again!!!!!!

Anyone know if it makes a difference which SATA connection (SATA 0 or SATA 1) is used on the MOBO for the primary boot drive? I just removed the second (data only) drive from my old Dell Dimension 8300 (which I installed a few years ago) and it now it would not boot up properly. I switched between the SATA connections on the MOBO before messing with the Bios (thinking it made no difference which one it was connected to) and now I can’t remember which it was connected to before hand. Help!

Who the fuck wants to pay $3,000 for a Mac desktop or a $2,000 Macbook when most PCs are around $350-$1,200? Macs are for douches.
