ARC-1880LP

You don't need to worry about Low Profile versions for the Mac Pro, so others are viable options (say the ARC-1880i all the way to the ARC-1880ix24).
ATTO Technologies is another company to look into (both offer 6Gb/s, bootable in BIOS and EFI based systems, work in multiple OS's, and have additional features not found on other cards). But ATTO's products are more expensive (good if you're new to hardware RAID controllers, as they're located in New York State so the Support Staff speak English natively), and on some models, Areca has an advantage (namely those that use a DIMM slot for the cache - none of ATTO's products do).
Areca's support staff do speak English (phone or email), but it's a 2nd language (based in Taiwan). So deciphering their response can be challenging at times.
Or is there more sata/power connectors there or can I buy/connect more?
The 2009/10 systems use a single backplane connector per ODD bay, so you'd need to use a Y splitter off of that (example (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10226&cs_id=1022604&p_id=5184&seq=1&format=2) if you don't need to retain the data signal off of the ODD backplane connector).
If you do need to retain the data connection, there's a way to do that too, but it will take a bit of effort on your part (means getting a couple of off the shelf cables and splicing the power wires together <backplane extension cable (http://industrialcomponent.com/oem/sataext12.html) + SATA Y splitter>; no mods to the system, so your warranty will remain in tact :)).
With this card I can connect both the 4x 3TB HDD RAID5 volume and 2x 6G SSD (non-raid) to it at same time.
Yes.
You can run multiple arrays or arrays + single disks via Pass Through mode. You cannot run a JBOD (concatenation) + RAID simultaneously though (must select between RAID or JBOD mode).
Also does it get messy cable wise when you don't use the apple raid card and run the SAS expanders to the drives? How did you go about flashing the card to EFI firmware ?
SAS expanders are easy cable wise (and no different between any computer for the same configuration and equipment).
All of Areca's settings, including flashing the firmware, are done via a web browser (BTW, Safari tends to fail for this, so use another browser, such as Firefox).
If you chose an ATTO product, it installs it's own interface application.
Which other 6G RAID cards can you recommend that I can connect 4x HDD in RAID5 and 2x 6G SSD's (non-raid) to, if there's a good one that takes advantage of internal drive channels it would be a plus.
The only card that can use PCB traces with the HDD bays, is the Apple RAID Pro.
All 3rd party cards require an adapter, which you've found (maxupgrades.com adapter kit you located).
Care to post the instructions or link to the thread with details on flashing the Areca card that NANOFROG gave you?
See above.
The EFI firmware (EBC actually), can be found on the disk provided with the card, or on the support site (you will have to dig a bit, but it's there). Then install it via a browser (use Firefox, as there's been too many instances where Safari has failed - including multiple versions of it).
How many RAID volumes can you configure using the one Areca controller using the internal ports? I am guessing all drives that connect using the ( MiniSAS- SATA 4x multiplier). So for two internal 6G ports on the RAID controller (8 drives in any number of RAID configs). I want to run a 4x HDD RAID5 and 2x SSD's in non raid off the one controller. Maybe even go for the 1880-ix with external RAID support for a 3rd external RAID1 volume, all of the same controller. Wondering how much RAM I will need in this case, would 512MB default be enough you think?
The # of volumes = however many you want (all of the 1880 series can actually run 128 disks via SAS expanders). You can do this via an internal to external cable (http://www.pc-pitstop.com/sas_cables_adapters/8887-1M.asp) (stick to 1.0 meter with SATA disks, or it won't be stable). Or just use these cables for a 1:1 port to disk ratio if you wish in an external SAS enclosure.
Not sure if you're asking, but you're not stuck to even numbers once you exceed the minimum disk count (i.e. minimum for RAID 5 = 3 members).
512MB would be enough, as you're not using that many disks (only functional during writes, not reads). More can improve your write throughputs, but I'm not sure of your file sizes, or if you'll be adding more disks (via expanders or in a 1:1 ratio).
You could do without the RAID-card altogether and just install 4 drives in the bays in the Mac Pro and use the ZFS filesystem (http://code.google.com/p/maczfs/) to make a dynamic stripe in RAID-Z, so you will get RAID-5 like performance but with better protection and data integrity.
RAID-5 is prone to something called the "RAID-5 write hole" in case of a power outage, something RAID-Z specifically is designed to handle.
Just listing this as another option.
For software implementations of parity arrays, you're absolutely right. RAID 5 wouldn't be the way to go. But a hardware RAID controller has a hardware solution to the problem. :)
Funny thing, as I am running ZFS as we speak on my Mac Pro and several servers.
If you clicked the link I provided you could even download it and install it in Mac OS X ;)
Also ZFS is returning big time for Mac OS X come June/July with a full up-to-date implementation of ZFS, called ZFS-410 by Ten's Complement LLC (http://tenscomplement.com/).
Ironically, one of the engineers behind ZFS-410 was the technical lead behind the original HFS+ filesystem and one of the persons porting ZFS to Mac OS X until Apple ditched it. You can find a good read about it here (http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2011/03/how-zfs-is-slowly-making-its-way-to-mac-os-x.ars)

I'll do it for $100 and meet you halfway in Draper.
If I had the $100 I'd do it Ben. I set aside this money from last year's tax return and it's the last bit of spare money I have. I shouldn't even be buying one... but seriously, my wife has been to hell and back for me and literally saved my life so I am going to get her something very nice.
If I had the $100 I'd do it in a heartbeat because she deserves it and I'd be happy to give somebody some extra cash for doing a solid for me at this time. I just can't afford it. Thanks for the offer though. It's much appreciated!

does it look crappy like that while you are working in word, or on the finished product? i would assume that word likes to display graphics with a little less quality than what you actually put into them. if you are talking about the finished product, then perhaps you should type your "reports, etc" in word and then get your hands on indesign and put all of your text into there.

So on the cnn home page right now, is an add for a razor, but its actually three separate .swf files. In the pic - 1, 2 and 3. If you click swing in 1, the guy hits the golf ball, it flies through 2 and lands in 3.
So does anyone know how they're sending the info to the different .swf files to have it trigger the correct scene in the right order?
Thanks,

Wow, I got Firefox to open after downloading older version of Firefox again. Can't believe it. I am not relieved and happy. Thanks Mactouros for your advice too!
I already had Firefox 3.6.17 running on here but after i downloaded it again, it says this -
You�re now running Firefox 3.6.17.
For security reasons, we recommend downloading the latest and greatest version.

You so fundamentally don't understand the concept of taxes, I had to click other. What you make, after the price you pay to make that money (taxes), is yours to keep. Once you've paid the taxes that were due, the government can not, and should not, be allowed to cause you for forfeit that wealth.
Your fundamental misunderstanding of taxes makes me smile sometimes.

I save a Pages document in Word format and when I open it in Word there are 2 extra pages, the original document has 2 pages full of word lines.
Word is seeing the document with 5 extra lines for each page, therefore the two page document is now 4 pages in Word.
The paper size is the same: letter.
The margins are also the same.
The formatting seems to be the same: font size, paragraphs, bullets and tabs.
The versions I am using are Pages '09 and Word 2011.
My question is if you have any idea on how to make the document the same in Word with only 2 pages.

Well, I've tried Virtual II now and it seems to work pretty well although I'm struggling with the keys (I'm trying to play Lode Runner and I find the movement keys (I,J,L,M) cumbersome).
I tried "Use arrow keys as joystick" but that didn't seem to work consistently for some reason.
Basically I just want to play Lode Runner in the same way as MAME's Lode runner (arrow keys for movement, ALT and CTRL for digging). I have several mazes I made myself back in the day when I used my own Apple ][ actively, so it would be great to play all that again, but on my Mac of course. What would the simplest solution be for that (Virtual II seems overkill and a waste of money when I'm not going to take more advantage of its features and the fact that its keys can't be remapped, or so it seems.
