I've just upgraded my computer Now I have a few doubts about memory: The mobo is a MSI k8N Neo4 SLI that, as you would expect, supports dual-channel DDR. I bought a kit of 2 Kingston PC3200, single sided 256 memory - total 512. Now the instructions seem a bit confusing since it states that I...

Thanks for the reply. Now, as for backup of all this date what would be the best thing: Another HD of the same capacity in Raid or an external drive... thanks

I´m assembling a new computer: Motherboard MSI K8N NEO4 PLATINUM SLI Socket 939 Athlon 64 3500+ 512KB L2 Cache 64-bit Kingston Memory- KVR400X64C3AK2/512 (1024 total) Now, my current machine has two 40 GB HD(non SATA) and I´m fed up with backing up on DVD/CDs. I work with 3D and 2D...

fishmahn, Thanks for the explanation. wusy, The ATi X800XL seems awesome but I have to draw the line somewhre cause there is always something els for "just" $100 or so more and this thing never ends. I'm still gona think a bit more before I order the componets so one never knows. Thanks for...

Well, Thanks for the replies. I give up then. I will assemble a machine with the following componets. I just hope everything is compatible!? I dont really understand how the AMD processors work since what they call 3.5+ is actully 2.4GHz! Mine is 2.6+ and is 2.1GHz... Memory RAM 2 512MB Kit...

fishmahn, Is there a way to know when an applicatin is threaded or not. Some kind o utility that detects it? Asking MS support would probably take ages if I ever get a reply... '

I´m a big civilian flight sim fan and use mostly Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 For all I researched no matter what video card you got the thing that makes the FPS stay low is the processor. So I decided to assemble the ultimate sim machine. Now, would a dual processor system with two 3.0GHz...

Thanks to Napoleon and HammerBot for the answers. Now things are a bit clearer in my head. On the same topic - in my bios setup whenever it mentions the RAID connector it calls it the ATA drive and it calls the non Raid connector the IDE drive. I seems like a conspiracy of misinformation!

Thanks for the replies. I read the history at Seagate site and few other articles. Things make a bit more sence now. So it means that the difference between the two pairs of controlers in my MOBO is that one is RAID and the other is not?! Neither controler supports UDMA133 only 100 although my...

I´m a bit confused. Some places refer to a HDD as IDE ATA100 or 133 and in some other places they refer to it as DMA100 or 133. The ATA100 is still IDE? is UltraDMA100 also IDE? I have an ASUS A7V133 motherboard and it comes with two pairs of connectors one pair for "plain" IDE and another for...
