The converter gives different results between the motherboards with chipset ich7 and ich8 when I install OSX pc version.

At first, I use the converter on Gigabyte 945P to connect the ide drives to the sata ports on the motherboard. It works perfect in OSX PC system, no matter harddisks or DVD writers. You can take the unit combining the harddisk and the converter equal to a REAL sata drive.

Because the ich8 does not support IDE devices, I consider it would be a good way to build sata drives. When I connect IDE hardisk and DVD drive to the sata ports of the motherboard Gigabyte 965P-DS3, DVD drive can not boot and hardisk can not be shown in Disk Utility. I am sure the CMOS are configured right (disable sata native mode), and the real sata harddisks are shown.

We have heard of online games becoming an addiction today and while they are only accessible online, most kids devote most of their time glued to their computer and trying to outdo themselves in these offered games online.

If you were a parent and your kids were on vacation, you surely would not mind this. But seriously, it is getting worst in terms of forgetting the real deal of kids as far as their responsibilities are concerned.

Some parents may cut the connection but all you will get is a tactical move on their part to run to their friend’s house or even rent at a nearby café. With these in mind, how can you control the Internet addiction that these kids are going through?

One thing you can look forward to when you log on to the web is the availability of online games that can really take a load off. Free games such as the ones offered by Yahoo Games can really become addicting.

If you are the hardcore roleplaying addict, you can play games such as Runescape or even the World of Warcraft. While these games were meant to entertain and help relieve you of stress, it remains that you have to instill discipline as well. Remember, you still have a life to live so don’t let the game addiction bug rule you.
