Out of the 21 printers we have at work, only six have no hard drive. Of course, I'm counting a couple of pure copiers among that six. Two or three of the bigger/faster ones have their own web server, so we can check up on job status and such.
My favorite is the one that has a storage server about the size of a G4 Cube and connects to the scanner and printer by IEEE 1394. Xerox Synergix 8850, iirc.
Of course, working at Kinko's kinda makes me giggle every time I see a little inkjet cranking away at a single sheet.
Not only are ATA 100 and ATA 133 completely compatible backwards and forwards (at the cost of running at the slower speed), they happen to run at the same speed!
The hard drives are able to send and receive data at about 40MB/s on average. I have no clue offhand what the burst rate is, so that might actually break 100MB/s, but I doubt it.
Now, if you have more than one drive on an ATA channel, it might actually make sense to have more than 100MB/s on that channel. Both drives may burst at the same time, and the bandwidth of ATA133 could be utilized.
However. In the case of the XServe, every drive has its own data bus. There are two reasons for anyone to use ATA133: it's a pretty buzzword, and it's no more expensive than ATA100 but they can charge more.
Otherwise... If I had an extra several thousand dollars, I know where it would go. *grin*
It seemed to me a lot more like the pod race in TPM. The sound those Nimbus 2001s made was too much like a pod, and the floating bleachers were distinctly similar.
Oh, and it was much longer than its relevant use in the plot, despite all the prettyness.
Well ok, so Anakin's arm didn't turn into jelly. At least not yet.
How does Christianity fare in these three epics? Poorly. No wonder the fundies are holding bookburnings.
Hrm... Funny you should mention that. The Hogwarts group in HP seems to me to be the most Christian group of witches and wizards I've ever heard of. They celebrate Halloween, Christmas and Easter, not Samhain, Solstice and Beltain.
So. It bothers me a little when the religious go off about how evil Harry Potter is.
(Really, the religions ought to be strong enough not to worry what isn't said about them in these fables. It's just for fun.)
I used a Matrox for a while (ooh, I've got AGP to both screens!) for 3d animation. I've since switched to a better 3d card and a nice PCI card, since Photoshop and Premiere need no nice 3d performance.
I have a feeling that in your situation, you could set your game to run on a GF4 or something, and run your IDE on a PCI card with a high refresh...
And then, when you want to test for lowest common denominator systems, you can just switch!
At some point last year, my gf's iMac monitor died completely, so this process was very necessary.
The thing is now suspended by zip ties in my old full tower, with two hard drives and the cdrom drive strapped to the side. The 19" ViewSonic looks real pretty on it too... Too bad the old RevC doesn't have the 3d to do much gaming. *pout*
Kill the stormtroopers? Why? Everybody knows that it was a distraught Beru with an active thermal detonator who caused all that destruction. And as for the damage on the Crawler, that was a bad TIE pilot and a wrong trajectory.
Or perhaps I've been watching far too much Troops... "Bad boys, bad boys..."

I got into modding a few months ago and even got my wife tricking out her box.
Erm... Dare I even remark on the last half of that statement?

Remember Where's Waldo? Besides all the other reasons to see this movie again and again, I'm gonna sit there and count the times I see Davis.
/.ers' time with. Happy hunting!
1: Intro to Mos Espa. Strolling by hand-in-hand with Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca)
2: Anakin's Rodian friend, who cheers during the pod-race.
3: The guy who helped Jar-Jar off his tropical tauntaun at the end (what was that anyway?)
4: Standing next to the Jedi (women no less) on the stairs at the very end.
And probably countless other roles Lucas thought appropriate to occupy
