Preparing for income tax season

chua — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 12:38:01 +0800

I started my own company (proprietorship) early this year and am working under contract with another company.
I am trying to prepare myself for the tax season and I am not sure what I need to worry about.
Do I really need an accountant? I am trying to some money if I can.
I am very new to this. Please give me some guide lines.

Thanks.

ICH9R RAID5 Support

chua — Sun, 20 May 2007 21:53:00 +0800

I am planning upgrade from ICH8R mobo to ICH9R (P35) mobo. Although ICH8R supports 6 SATA ports, it only can support 4 drives in RAID5 mode and does not support RAID enhancement. Does anyone know if ICH9R supports 6 drives in RAID5 and RAID enhancement.

Thanks for you time.

[addedon]May 26, 2007, 7:22 pm[/addedon]I bought Gigabyte G33-DS3R which has ICH9R and attached with 4 WD HDD 500GB in RAID 5 configuration. From the Intel Storage Matrix v7.5 when setting up RAID 5 I saw that you can select up to 6 driver. But too bad it doesn't support RAID enhancement. I guess that it why you buy standalone RAID controllers like AMCC, etc.
