what are the chances of a dodge DVD rom causing problems when not using a CD ect?

my PC was running painfully slow tonight all of a sudden. I unplugged my DVD rom to reconnect my spare HD to back up and it is running fine with out it......

either that or i'm going crazy

come to think about it, it may also have something to do with disconnecting my second monitor

I spose it could tie up the IDE channel and hence slow down your PC (ie both the hard drive and DVD ROM fighting for control of the IDE channel) Dunno if it's your problem but it does make sense

[Whiplash]

well the other HD i plugged in is running off that IDE cable instead of the DVD rom. It may have more to do with teh dual screen set up

[Rolls]

I'm pretty sure it makes bugger all diff having them on the same channel, theres plenty of bandwidth to go around.

lol kralster..

The beauty of instant email notification that quotes the posts text.

With regards to dvd ide slow down; I've never seen anything of the like unless the dvd drive is being accessed and it has dropped back to PIO transfer. If the drive is idling you 'shouldn't' see any performance decrease regardless. But nothing is ever really certain. There's many hardware combinations etc.

Maybe the reset fixed a few loose ends so to speak.

[Fishpaste~]

there was probably a different fault with the system, and the reboot fixed it

[Whiplash]

hope so, its all working good again.

So i'm thinking of buying a new mac book pro.

What do people think?

The one i'm looking at runs a core 2 duo intel chip, geforece 8600 chip, 2 gig or ram and what not.

And i really only want it for media based stuff, and surfing the web. I'm pretty much sick of windows. Plus i have my brothers computer for games. And i have almost every other console under the sun. So i'm not buying it with the intention of using it as a games computer.

I know they do cost a lot of money compared to a windows based laptop eqivelent. but i really like the look of the new mac book.

Also it will be bought for use at work as well so it will be salary scarificed so in the end the total cost won't be as bad.

Also everyone needs to download the new MGS4 english trailer. looks freaking good.

And i'm not entirely convinced that you will play as David Hayter (solid snake) in this one, from some little interesting things i've seen the trailer.

not interested in mac's why don't you see if you can run there OS on a C2D and save your self some mula

[kralster]

Well i guess in theory you could, but you'd have to format a drive using the correct file system and all that.

Plus steve jobs said you will never see a mac OS "legally" run on a pc.

If you've seen a new macbook you'll appreciate how muc thought has gone into them. Just the design of the actual laptop, the way it is silent as there are no fans (not that i could here anyway)

But thanks for the imput im interested in what people say.

[Cubes]

The Macs are actually quite nice.

If I was going to spend the $$ on a laptop a mac it would be.

Home PC, windowz purely due to software/games thats available.

MacOSX doesn't work all that good on PC. I've had it running on an all intel system fairly well but there's still the odd little hickup.

Good to become familiar with the system or trouble shooting help etc but anymore and I wouldn't bother.
