I use compact flash. The cards are just as cheap as SD, the adapters are even cheaper, and they always seem to work. Plus they are SUPPOSED to have built in wear leveling. downside of CF? If you want to move them to a new pc, you need an usb adapter, where a lot of computers usually have SD card …

I have both the tyan and a MSI Master K7D looks like this: http://www.on-wing.de/Bilder/msi2.jpg I used both with a voodoo 5, and both performed excellent. Naturally the MSI allowed overclocking where the tyan did not, but the tyan has a lot more neat features, and I don't overclock old machines …

but only ONE works at a time. If i recall properly, that is one of those Frankenstein boards that can take 2 totally different cpu's. The orange cpu slot will disable the right agp slot and turn on the left. Also, fuck Boulder. Place is full of those damned hippies and hipsters.

You can do that. Compact Flash cards with ide adapters are also good. This lets you pop the drive into your main system to transfer files. or, get a pci sata card like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/201629463559 I dropped in a spare 320gb sata drive and it worked perfectly. I had to make several 32gb …

I'd still be torn up and conflicted about it, but its a safe bet nobody will try to buy it from me. I live in Denver, there is NO water around of any significant size.
