Hello Wolfshadow: My name is Gary and I won't bored you with self-pitty or sob stories of why the video card ought to come my way. However, I will present to you facts about my life that I'm sure you'd understand and appreciate. I'm married with two young children. My wife loves to game with...

I know a lot of people are TNG fans. I, however, am a Voyager fan. Do you guys think that they will come out with a Voyager movie? I like Capt. Janeway's bitchiness and her flippant attitude that seems to be behind her every action. And of course, the obviousness would be that 7 of 9 (Jeri Ryan)...

Wusy, I hope you're not upset at my post. It's not my intention to bring up politics that, apparently, caused someone to be pissed off. I think we're all trying to help the original poster answer his question. TTFN

I agree, partially. Police officers there drive BMW 5 series, no kidding. They need that because people drive fast cars because they can afford it. Granted, food is cheap and DAMN good. I know there is no reason to justify counterfeit goods but I do feel sorry for the businesses there because...

Hi, I was born and raised in Taiwan. Live here in the states now for 16 years. I was back in Taiwan this last Jan for Chinese New Year and again in June for a funeral. I was born in Hsinchu, about 45 minutes south of Taipei. There is a NOVA in Hsinchu and I can spend all day there. The prices...

Yeah, you're right about the separate SATA channels. Throughput would definitely be higher but seek time would be a little slower. Honestly, seek times, IMO, would be more important than throughput if you want a high-performance PC. But yes, you're right about the separate channel thing. TTFN

3 x 80GB Hitachi SATA in RAID0 = Damn fast performance There is no way for me to "tell" you how fast my rig is....let's just put it this way.... 3.7Ghz P4 Northwood, 2GB Corsair XMS PC3200, the RAID0 array I mentioned above, Abit IC7-MAX3 mobo....All my parts are at least 3-4 years...

I may not have the EXACT setup, but I have a RAID 0 array on 3 x 80GB SATA drives by HItachi (by the way, they are pretty damn fast). I have my OS, apps, etc, all on C and I've got another partition on D that just stores temporary data files until I offload them to my file server. I know it's...

I have the same HSF combo, excpet mine is the all copper one. I've got other cooling as well but I think I just got lucky and got a good OCable chip. I've left it burn-in at 249FSB for several days....all was well. As soon as I bumped to 250.....then Windows will sometimes reboot, games will...

Good point....I didn't think about that. I have my P4 Northwood stock 3.2 OC'd to 3.9 on air. So far, the FSB is at 249...trying to go 250 but having a little stability issues. Thanks all! TTFN

Thanks for the quick reply. I thought it should run in DC, but I just wasn't sure. Thanks for the confirmation! TTFN

Hello Friends: I have a simple question that I, for some reason, can't figure it out. I have an Abit IC7-MAX3 board w/ 4 x 512MB of Corsair PC3200 XMS XL RAM. The board suport dual channel but what I am wondering is if all 4 slots are occupied (Like my setup), does it still run in DC? Thank...

bnason: Exact same problem with my setup. I have almost same PSU, except mine is a 550. My computer would start the shut down process, and right as it's ready to shut off, BAM!! It reboots. Even when I press the power button, it will reboot instead of shut down. I thought it was hardware. I...

Moof: I've got a P4 Northwood core stock at 3.2Ghz. I've got a zalman 70mm HSF with excellent case cooling (I think that's the key here, CASE COOLING). I've OC'd that baby to 3.9Ghz easy. I did some test to make sure all components were stable. I had el CheapO RAM in there before...some cheap...

SuperFly03: Thanks for understanding the need for clear, concise and understandable paragraphs. It's refreshing to see there are people out there who appreciate correct spelling, grammar, punctuation and proper English! More importantly, someone who makes logical sense with calm attitude beats...
