    Intel ICH9R vs JMicron Raid 1 test

    Hey. Not so fast: I did a thorough search and found that the feature "enable write back cache" increases burst speed. I had to check it: Comparison Jmicron (Blue) vs Intel Write Back Cache Enabled (Red) Holy cow!!! Comments? Any thoughts about the dips in the intel?

    Intel ICH9R vs JMicron Raid 1 test

    Hi fellas, Hdd Tach Results Intel vs Jmicron Blue is Jmicron. Red is intel. Board is a P35C-DS3R v1.1. Hard disks are two samsung HD501LJ 500GB SataII. Is the burst speed important? I even see less dips in the Jmicron controller. Another thing: The intel "veryfies and repairs" with a...

    Whats the problem with the Jmicron? Does both provide the same performance? Are they CPU dependant?

    Going RAID 1 in P35C DS3R, wich controller to use?

    Well I want a backup of my data, and maybe a little more read speed. I am going RAID 1. So i do not know wich is better. Plugging the disks in the orange (intel ports) or the purple (Jmicron) controllers... I am possibly going XP64 cause I got 4GB of RAM. Is there any issue with XP64 and...

    I will tell you as soon as I get my hands on the Q6600. I have read intensively about having the MEM and CPU running 1:1 ratio, but I have not found a deep explanation of the particular advantages and disadvantages of running at no standard ratios, like 2.x or 3.x. Do you know hot this...

    Hm that seems like a relief for me. About the fan, I am using it that way because I use this room as both monitoring and recording room in my personal studio (audio). Thats why I chose a silent video card and silent fans. Anyway, I control my fans via a sunbeam rheobus, so If fans are loud...

    Thanks for the input, biltong. I checked your link. Pretty interesting. I guess if the -12V readings were right, the PC would not work. When I tried the memory in my friends computer, the mainboard was who reported the frecuency. I am pretty sure it could only be 533 because when I tried to...

    Yes, they were at +0.4 volts when started failing. Anyway, this memory is supposed to take tweaking and overclock, I mean, it´s not cheap memory, it should not be an issue having it a little overvoltaged. I tested today in a friends computer, it ran fine at 533 mhz 4-4-4-12 and since the board...

    Thanks for that input. Well, I am pretty sure one of my modules died because of the heat. They are factory rated at 1066 speeds. I do not have a way of testing the real heat in the memory, but I can tell you its hotter than the video card, and that is a gigabyte passive 7600gs, wich is 60ºC...
