@tecmo34 You make a lot of sense, but the big issue here is that in my country, any SSD over 80GB scales too rapidly in price compared to storage space. A 120GB is like 2.5 - 3 times more expensive than a 60GB. With that in mind, would it work if I were to raid 2 x 60GB? In theory that should...

Perhaps I didn't explain myself properly, as the WIE thing was more a sarcastic jib :) I've read various articles (including one or two here at Tom's HW) that say that switching to a SSD can increase base performance of all applications, including installation and booting of operating systems...

Hi there First off, here's the hardware I have: Intel 1156 Core i7 860 @ 3.4GHz ASUS P7P55D-E Motherboard - One of the first SATA6G boards out, it can only run at PCI-E 16x, USB3 OR SATA3 (i.e. one at a time) Graphics - Sapphire HD6970 2GB running at 1920 x 1200 on a 26" LCD, with all games...

Thank you very much for the reply Out...makes more sense now :) Only one choice left now (sorry for sounding like such a noob and asking so many questions :P): between Kingston and Corsair :) Both are about the same price, 2 x 1GB, CL 4-4-4-12. The only difference is Corsair is on 2.1v and...

This is all very confusing :P Mondo, you almost make it sound as though Dual Channel memory is slower than single channel. Ok, so we've determined that I won't see any difference between DDR800 and DDR1066 at all, until I eventually go to a FSB of above 1600MHz. That being said, I'll probably...

So according to Mondo's link, Corsair should be the better RAM cause they're rated at 2.0V, while Kingston is at 2.2V? Would it then be better for me to exchange my RAM for Corsair 800MHz with CAS 4-4-4-12? (If the dealer allows it, which I doubt cause they normally just replace with the same...

Mondo, are you serious? :O You mean I won't get any performance difference between 667, 800 and 1066 MHz RAM on 1333 FSB? I never knew that! 667 is probably not the best though, since if I could possibly upgrade my CPU to one with 1600FSB in the coming months, so 800MHz would be the best bet...

Hi there, and thanks for the quick reply :) I did consider upping the voltage, but got a little concerned when I took it off AUTO because 1.8V - 2.0V is green (considered safe), but once I go over 2.0V it turns yellow, and as you approach 2.3V it's orange. So I just figured that since I'm not a...

Hi there I made the switch from AMD to Intel yesterday and bought a brand new Asus P5E MB, E8200 CPU, and a Kingston Hyper-X 2GB RAM Kit (model KHX8500D2K2/2GN). I put everything together, popped in a new, clean HDD, and proceeded to try and install Vista. I didn't have much luck because it...
