Very fast drive, very comparable to the INTEL X25-M G2 80gb
Download FireFox :
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.5.7&os=win&lang=en-US
When you run the for the first time, you can select all default options. When you run the shortcut on your desktop for the first time, make sure you have FireFox be your default browser. Since we no longer want to use Internet Explorer (blue icon).
Now that you have FireFox open, click on the “ADD to Firefox” button for NoSCript :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722
and do the same for addblock plus :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865
Hopefully this helps your home computers. You’ll stop seeing a lot of ads, and random popups, unless internet explorer is badly infected. If so, you might want to run some ad removal cleaners in SAFE MODE. A good ad removal software would be Spybot, or malwarebytes.
Penny Arcade has started to film short 6-9 minutes clips of the authors/creators of Penny Arcade. If you’re a nerd, it’s great fun watching them go through their office, and watch them work.

THANKS DAVE over at http://jaericho.com for coding this up quick.
I’d like to finish off saying that you pay for what you get as well. Some people expect 50GB of space, and 2TB of bandwidth for $8 a year, well, I hate to break it to you, but that is just not going to happen in this day and age. Good servers cost money, and if a company is allocating out that much space/bandwidth, you are safe to say they are overselling.
Do you need upgradable options? More Hard Drives, more bandwidth, additional IP addresses, 24/7 staff on the Data Center location, etc Those are just a few things to think about if you want to stick long term with a company.
There are a lot of people who seem to request these on a daily basis on forums across the web. These are some basic questions you should answer before posting a request for a Dedicated Server.
Dedicated Servers :
*CPU (single, dual, QUAD, dual QUAD core, etc)
*RAM (normal increments : 128MB, 256MB, 384MB, 512MB, etc)
*Disk Space (500MB, 2GB, 5GB, etc)
*RAID (0,1,5,6,10,50)
*Bandwidth (1TB, 30TB, unmetered, etc)
*Port Speed (10mb, 100mb, 1gb, 10gB)
*IP Addresses (1 IP, 2 IP’s, 3 IP’s, etc.)
*Location (USA east/west/central, EU, offshore, etc)
*Panel (cPanel, Direct Admin, PLESK, etc)
*OS (What version linux, or Windows)
*Payment plan (Do you want options for bi-annual, semi-annual, or just plain monthly?)
*Managed, or unmanaged?
Those are the basic questions you should think about when asking for a Dedicated Server provider.
