If it was a good question it would have drawn excellent well researched documented answers. Question was on topic but it wasn't well researched and it was broad in scope | |

I'm new to SU, and SE, but not to computers, and as such I may consider the Q pedestrian, but having answered it often enough I also know it is common, or was before SATA. Reading a full page of Google results didn't really answer the Q, I know the "fine manual" never did. The difference only seems relative to a power user, most would set the jumpers and be go. "What topics can I ask about here?" seems, to me, to suggest that this is the place for that Q. Hardware is even the first thing listed. (Trying to learn the system here.) | |

It's been so long I can't be sure, but I'd bet I've answered that exact question, in person, dozens of times in decades past. As late as '04 when I got my A+ Certificate, that same question was in the study materials. With no context, background, or parameters. Simple, direct, uncluttered question, with a verifiable and definitive answer. What more could a Q&A site wish for? A similarly concise question could be, "What's the difference between MDA and CGA cards?" | |
