    FT: XFX Double D Radeon HD 7850 2GB - for Nvidia equivalent

    I've got a XFX Double D Radeon HD 7850 2GB. I purchased in May from Newegg. I have not registered it or overclocked it but they are supposed to overclock very well. I have all the box, documentation, and goodies. I have a need to use CUDA which I can't do with my ATI card. I want to trade for a...

    Read and write speeds <20MB/sec through PCI SATA card.

    Well I guess I'll scrap that card. It definitely has proven to be crappy. Now I'm looking for a PCIe card with 4 SATA ports. I see a card with SIL3124. Will this be a decent replacement or is it going to be just as bad?

    Read and write speeds <20MB/sec through PCI SATA card.

    The Silicon Image 3114 has BIOS version 5.4.03 which was what the most current rev I could find online. This afternoon I will try on a live CD. Thanks for the direction.

    Read and write speeds <20MB/sec through PCI SATA card.

    There are no other PCI devices in the system. To test, I swapped out the PCI -> 4x SATA for a PCIe (x1) -> 2x SATA and the read and write speeds on the PCIe card are great. I have been sure to only have one card in at a time. I've tried the PCI -> SATA card on 2 of the 3 PCI slots. In...

    Read and write speeds <20MB/sec through PCI SATA card.

    I will validate if I have the most up-to-date drivers and BIOS available for the motherboard. I was having a hard time finding that yesterday. What is interesting is I am using a Silicon Image 3114 and getting these very slow reads and writes. The only other card in the computer is an...

    Read and write speeds <20MB/sec through PCI SATA card.

    My goal is to get 6x 2TB in a software raid using FLEXraid. I have 4 of the drives hooked up to a PCI -> 4port SATA card and the other 2 (and my boot drive) are plugged into my Abit IP35-E motherboard. I have what I believe are the most current drivers for the SATA card...

    WTB: Jtagged XBox 360 w/ Rock Band DLC

    I'm looking to purchase a Jtagged XBox 360. I realize it is unlikely, but I'm also hoping to score the Rock Band DLC. Thanks!

    What is the difference between a windows Boot drive and a system drive?

    This problem all stems from the fact I want to change a drive letter of a drive that is NOT my boot drive, which should be quite easy. I reinstalled Windows last night on the same drive it was on before (C drive). Before installing, I detached all my other drives to avoid confusion. The install...

    Don't soak an LCD display (especially an ipod) in rubbing alcohol.

    I think Chops is right but I believe I can buy just the LCD for about $50 instead of a new LCD and digitizer combo for $100. Does anyone know for sure? Also, according to the bottle, my rubbing alcohol is 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30% water. I don't see any mention of glycerine but i'm not...
