| 00:14.16 | wps | i have four IDE pieces that i need to connect to the motherboard... |
| 00:14.27 | wps | hard drive, CD, DVD, ZIP |
| 00:14.35 | wps | does it matter who is master and who is slave? |
| 00:15.45 | wps | it will take two ribbon cables, so there will be two masters and two slaves... i assume that the HD should be a master |
| 00:16.43 | wps | so... should i put the CD/DVD on the same ribbon and just pick on to be the master? or would i get better read/write between the drives (when copying one CD to another) if they are on different ribbons? |

| 00:28.06 | Maquis | sorry... |
| 00:28.11 | Maquis | i just don't understand any of that stuff... |
| 00:28.14 | wps | oh |
| 00:28.19 | Maquis | i understood when you said you had 4 things you want to connect... |
| 00:28.29 | Maquis | don't know anything past that though :) |
| 00:28.37 | Maquis | one of these days, i'm going to learn all these things |

| 00:57.17 | wps | maquis, if you're interested... i found my answer |
| 00:57.41 | Maquis | sure... |
| 00:58.05 | wps | it is best (for performance, when using both drives at the same time, as in duplicating) to have the CD and the DVD on separate ribbon cables |
| 00:58.16 | Maquis | cool!!! |
| 00:58.24 | Maquis | that's useful to know :) |
| 00:58.45 | wps | yeah |

| 01:54.57 | Maquis | according to top, X was just using 99% of my cpu for a little while... |
| 01:55.16 | Maquis | i noticed on gkrellm that my cpu was sitting at 99%, and i ran top to find out why... |
| 01:55.22 | Maquis | it wasn't a screen saver... |
| 01:55.35 | Maquis | anyone know what would cause that, and whether it is of concern??? |
| 02:10.33 | synic | any app could cause that, and yes, it is of concern |
| 02:16.35 | Maquis | what do i do when it does that? |

| 03:12.00 | Maquis | ummm... my computer |
| 03:12.05 | Maquis | s doing it again... |
| 03:12.10 | Maquis | it's kinda weird... |
| 03:12.25 | Maquis | it doesn't normally do this... but it says it's X that's at 95% right now... |
| 03:12.41 | Maquis | and it's been there for a while |
