Mainly for media file storage (Tv shows frm the tivo) if it goes bad, then i dont really care- no great loss

I am currently running my system with 4 SATA drives, 2 running in RAID 0 (bootable) and 2 other drives of 2 different sizes. I want to create a JBOD setup with the second 2 drives in addition to the RAID 0 array. I have an MIS K8N Neo Platinum motherboard (nvidia nForce 3 250Gb chipset. I tried...

I am trying to hook up my computer to my stereo- they are in two different rooms, and I want to do so with a digital connection- both the computer and amp can handle coax or optical cables. The run will be something like 50-75 feet, maybe more- I have to run the cable around the walls adding a...

Ok, so I downloaded the nforce 3 drivers for windows 64bit, but i need to create a raid driver disk so I can install window. Is there a link I am missing on the nvidia site to download a disk or some tool in the driver pack, or do I have to make it by hand, and if so how do I do that. Thanks

I was thinking I would need the ram since i would be using the system to record and recompress TV shows (beyond TV)

I just bought back an AMD based 1.44ghz T-bird system with 1 gig of ram, ATI AIW radeon (original) and no HD (yet) Any ideas as to what i can do with it? I have Snapstrem Beyond TV and the Snapstream TV card in my other system, so I was thinking media server. If I did that i would get a basic...

Does anyone here know what whould happen if i plugged my ipod in to a second comouter that i just installed itunes on? would it transfer my library up to the new pc or just allow me to down load new songs to the ipod? Or coudl i do any harm by this? Thanks

Thanks for the link, I now have a win98se disk that will load with a ram drive :)

OK, so the new bios is out for the MSI K8N Neo Platinummobo and I would really like to be able to get a PROPER temp reading for my CPU. I was reading through the directions for how to flash the mobo and have a slight issue. The standard directions call for you to unzip the flash program and...

Just picked mine up from bestbuy, 434 with tax- Some guy on ebay bid 565 for a bfg 6800 gt

I think that apple sells a DVI to ADC (apple/mac standard connection) I am pretty sure i saw one in a case at compusa (with teh i-pod toys, go figure). Isn't the ADC pretty much a DVI port but with the power on the same plug as the video feed? I think i read that somewhere a while ago, can't...

I should add that this will be driving a dell 1800 lcd monitor on DVi. I had heard that HL2 was expected to do much better on the x800 line since is it's a d3d game. But lets be realistic, it the differnance on doom 3 that great in terms of game play or are we talking 10-20 more fps above an...

I just ordered the parts for a new a64 3200+ system with 1.5 gigs of ddr400 on a MSI K8V neo platinum. Now I want to order a video card to go along with it and cant' make up my mind. should I go with a 6800 Gt, Ultra or a X800 family card. I currently have a AIW 9700pro and really like the tv...

You left out a key bit of information: what motherboard/raid card (if not on the mobo) are you using?

In the June 2004 issue of Maximum PC (p. 83) there was a review of an externtal SATA drive. You plugged it in to your mobo sata interface and it shipped with a pass through adapter mounted on a bracket you installed in teh back of your case. You pugged the cable from the mobo in to the...
