I've had three nVidia cards - all of them worth it - none of them died on me. In fact, two of them got overclocked and didn't even flinch. No lockups, nottin'.

After working on a large number of customers machines for four years, no one will be able to convince me to buy ATI. Of the three nVidia cards I've owned and all the OEM nVidia cards our company has put into machines (hundreds), only one card came back with a problem and it was from an overclocking issue.
He's saying that you need drivers that work and work without flaw, especially with a dual-processing setup. Any driver flaw at all could comprimise the workflow (as well as unsaved work), and with the high-end work that's done on a workstation such as this that's ever so important. Look at drivers put out by Creative Labs... they're reputed to be really buggy in a dual-processor setup.
And as far as "Is there something magical about MP3s?," I think he's talking about standard wave output support in linux instead of enabling 5.1 surround, midi, game-port, ect. for a minimal make-the-linux-user-happy driver support.
Hey!! I got Post!!!
no really, I have nothing intelligent to say about this particular topic, but I like making fun of "FP" or "First Post!!" ers. The rest of you continue on.
I was thinking more of something that would encrypt the OS partition as well, and the OS could boot from the encryption scheme without hassle after the correct password (or whatnot) is put in. So, even the OS would be fully encrypted if the HD was taken out and put into another computer. All a person would see is encrypted files, no more.
This brings up a point. A friend of mine has been researching a way for an entire operating system (a widely used one like MacOS or Microsoft Windows) to use, exploit, and be fully functional on top of a completely encrypted file system. Or, for a file system such as NTFS or HFS+ to reside as a sub-file system, being contained within an encrypted file system, with which if you enter the system with the correct password (or biometrics or card key or combination) you'll enter the system, and the OS which resides on the system doesn't even notcie the underlying encrypted-FS and only sees the contained NTFS/HFS+/etc... Is this possible? If so, how?
Would anyone know what field os study, what references, classes, or otherwise would be usefull in getting into Computer Forensics? Or, to specify, forensics of either computer crime, or finding proof to a crime within a computer. It's of great interest to me as it may be a direction I may be heading into.
Has anyone thought about the forensics team and practices of Ontrack Data Systems? They're famous for data recovery and forensics. They're the ones that get hired by many government agencies to routinely track down certain elements of data for use in legal battles and court.

Two things:
1. He said PGPdisk didn't suit his needs already
and
2. PGPdisk is only included in the paid-in-full version of the product if so ordered as such
Cheers.

He's right, I would love to know how to do this. Pray-tell /.ers
