I actually went to put a Professional Matrox card (G550 PCI-e) in my Windows 7 machinde for a few more displays... alas it seems most of the range doesnt have Windows 7 drivers yet :(

"It will improve the user interface for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 computers running Windows Update" Doesn't sound like it will change XP at all, I would welcome a more detailed explanation of patches on the machine though :)

I assume your talking about the PCB on the drive rather than the controller it plugs into. Your best bet would be ebay or something but good luck with that.

Yes you can use them... and yes it would suffer but not noticeably

Its because you have 4 Primary partitions... NTFS only allow 4 primary paritions OR 3 Primary and 1 extended (the extended partition can then have more partitions) You have reached the limit therefore no more. You need to delete a partition and make it an extended partition. Edit: Sorry its...

I wouldnt get the MSI mobo, personal preference i stick to Gigabyte and ASUS The Seagate 1tb drives arent known for their reliablity at the moment i would get a WD black PSU i dont like OCZ either but they do make some good ones, i would stick with Antec, Corsair PCP&C or Seasonic

If you have already bought 2 Blues then no its not worth it... The blacks are quicker though

"including one free daughter OS with Windows Server 2008 Standard, four free licenses with Windows Server 2008 Enterprise, and an unlimited number of free licenses with Windows Server 2008 Datacenter." Anyone tell me what this actually means and how it works. The way i read it, i can purchase...

more than likely you dont have the addition 4/8pin CPU power cable plugged in to the motherboard.

Is it just me or is this going to confuse a HEAP more people. We already get threads of "PLZ help CPU running too hot 60c under load" when we all know its most probably fine. Results displayed like this in delta from room temperature is just going to cause more of this. In the forums on the...

Anytime you are doing anything with a RAID array you need to backup because there are NEVER any certainties. If both chipsets are the same there is a possibility it will just work, if they are different you have next to no chance. If it is your OS drive your best doing a format and clean...

necroed... Ummm my advice would be to buy a Cat5e cable... everytime ive tried to use wireless its slow it drops out its insecure latency is through the roof... Cable is cheap, fast, secure everything wireless isnt.

I would say yes with about 95% certainty, yes its a little hot but i am yet to see a CPU actually die usually a motherboard or PSU first.

Are you using the stock HSF? What are your ambient temps? Try getting Coretemp or Realtemp they are generally more reliable.
