    what the hell just happened??

    I'll spare the dramatics and get right to the point. I recently upgraded my computer from a Northwood based system to an Athlon64 939 based system on the Soltek SL-k8Tpro-939 motherboard. I've used my windows key twice like MS allows with no problem. Just received my Plextor SATA PX-176SA...

    What's the Best Geforce 6800GT Brand?

    I bought the eVGA 6800GT just because it came with Farcry. plus, it was the only one Newegg stocked right as I was about to spend $40 more at a local shop :D I couldn't be happier with it, tho I'm sure i'd be happy with PNY or BFG etc. as well.

    TYAN S2090 mobo questions

    i wouldn't be worrying about what CPU to be getting...I'd be worrying about why I don't have DDR...Cause ultimatley, that SDRAM is going to be holding you back, no matter how fast your CPU is.

    Can't decide between VIAK8T800 Pro and nForce3

    MLF, what is your highest 3DMark2003 Score? I'm running just shy of 11000 now so it'd be nice to know what the difference in scores are.

    Can't decide between VIAK8T800 Pro and nForce3

    I'm going to buy an Athlon64 3000+ for my next system. I'm torn between three motherboards: MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R, MSI K8N Neo, and Abit KV8 Pro. The K8T has the onboard RAID features I need for now, but I can sacrifice the IDE RAID for a more up to date board, seeing that it came out last...

    6800 GT in STOCK HERE! 20pcs

    i just preordered the evga GT card locally that the sales rep said is either bundled with Farcry or Doom3, for $449. After tax its like $482. If Farcry is bundled, its worth it to me, but I just noticed that Zipzoomfly is selling it for $409??? They're not in stock but, where are they...

    norton ghost, or drive image 7 for backups?

    i use a program called Casper XP. It works great for cloning drives or data. I haven't used Ghost letely, but I remember having to boot off the Ghost disk in order to backup drives, or something like that. Casper XP works in Windows without rebooting, so it makes things very easy.

    would you do this trade...

    it just depends on how much of that space you actually need. To me, it's not worth it. Getting rid of a 200GB drive doesn't justify getting a 36GB drive, no matter how fast it is. Especially an expensive 36GB drive.

    My complete case mod! (1.17 mb of pictures, but worth it)

    Thats the coolest window design i've ever seen. Something about it just screams dangerous hehe. I think you should paint the inside of the case black and sleeve the power cables and you're set! Post pics if you do!

    Best way to setup raid 0

    run the DVDRW and DVD-ROM on the same channel, and all the Hard drive's on their own channel for best performance.

    raid 0 worth it?

    I've been curious about all this hype surrounding RAID 0 so I decided to give it a try. Things definetly feel a bit peppier, windows boots up in a snap...but i'm not very impressed with the numbers some benchamrks are giving me. I put each drive on it's own channel and that definetly increased...

    RAID Boot Dilemma

    As someone on these forums once said, "If it's not broken, break it", I guess i decided to do just that last night. I ran CHKDSK on my RAID 0, and it came up with this: CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)... File verification completed. CHKDSK is verifying indexes (stage 2 of 3)...

    Casper XP, RAID 0

    I've been in need of good disk cloning software for backing up my RAID 0 array. I read the article on the front page of [H] "System Backup 101" and decided to purchase Casper XP due to its praise. I just cloned my 149GB (two 80GB WDJB) to my 149GB (160GB WDJB) Backup. To see how well this...

    Whats the best way to dispose of a monitor?

    I've got an old 14 inch CRT i'd like to get rid of. It still works, yet its so old it seems it doesn't display quite right anymore. It's not really worth selling, and I heard somewhere that its not a very enviornment-friendly thing to throw in the garbage, for all i know it could be illegal...

    ut2k4 DVD SE: limited quantities

    Well if it is, i'd say $40 for free shipping and no sales tax is a great price for a game (EBGames.com). I've never pre-ordered anything BTW.

    dude...i'm so pissed. FrozenCPU won't take the powersupply back because it's been premodded, voiding it of it's warranty. So i'm out $114 bucks....guess i have to stick with my 350W for now....I'm going to go give myself a blackeye, maybe two. I'll read through those articles now. Thanks...

    Which RAM to choose?

    Mushkin's customer service is so good in fact, they give you a courtesy call to see how your RAM is running a few weeks after you buy it. I've never tried Corsair or other brands, but after making the switch to DDR from pc133, I don't think i'll ever buy anything but Mushkin.

    Ok...i'm running into more problems now.... This is really odd, i'm beginning to think that I got what I paid for in this 500W PSU ($99). I loaded up MBM5 and have been checking the voltages since my last post. And Snugglebear, you're totally right, i'm sorry I doubted you. The Voltage on...

    USB 2.0 Cable/Flash Card Reader Dilemma
