    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...

    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...

    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...

    RAID 0 Crashing Games

    I just setup a RAID 0 array using two WD 80GB drives with 8MB cache. I'm using 64K clusters and all is fine until I run UT2K4. It crashed on both attempts to play it. First time on the ingame server browser and the second time it happened about 5 minutes into playing. Would you recommend...

    USB 2.0 Cable/Flash Card Reader Dilemma

    Ok, to start off, my Motherboard doesn't support USB 2.0, so i had to buy a USB 2.0 card. It has 4 ports total, 3 external, and 1 internal. All the ports are "A-Type". I bought a card reader for my 3.5" bay, but the cable provided was a header to header type cable. I want to take advantage...

    Advice

    So i've spent the last few days researching video cards, and decided that the Asus 9800XT would be best for me. I want to buy this to replace my Gainward GF3 ti-200, but with the new Nvidia and ATi chipsets coming out soon, I'm struggling with the idea of waiting. I've been asking people I...

    Abit Siluro Ti4800 and Artifacts

    Hello everybody. A few months ago my friend gave me money and requested that I build her a computer, something that I would build for myself. I picked out the Abit IC7 Max3, a P4 3.2C and the Abit Siluro Geforce 4 Ti4800. She's not a big gamer, but she wanted something good enough to run...
