    Is it better to keep the ram stick size consistant in ram slots 3&4 or does it not really matter?

    I'd like to upgrade to 2gigs of RAM, but I'm unsure of what the importance is of my new rams size. I already have the 2 main ram slots with equal sized sticks (2x512). Is there any reason I should go a single 1gig stick over 2x512 or vice versa? I was thinking to do another 2x512 (thus...

    Can I Disable the SATA RAID (BIOS) Loading Screen on Reboots?

    On a system start-up or reboot, I go through the normal listing of Connected Devices, it then goes to a screen about booting off the network, waits a few seconds (as I don't boot from the network) and then it loads a screen about a SATA RAID Bios, I can press F11 or F6, or something similar, to...

    Main HD (SATA) listed as Removable Drive??!

    I had this posted in Tech Support, but since it could be anywhere from a hardware configuration (jumper?) to some setting in Windows I'm hoping someone here may have an idea. I just put my comp together last night and I didn't notice this until about the 3rd reboot of installing XP Prof. On...

    Power Connection to SLI Dexluxe MB?

    hm, well my MB also has a power input by the graphics card for when running in SLI, which I am not at the moment. I was going to run power there just incase it was needed but I didn't want to put it where it wasnt requested, so it's not hooked up there for now. When I meant pumping power, I...

    Power Connection to SLI Dexluxe MB?

    /sigh That's a relief to hear, I've been thinking I may have been pumping too much power to my MB last night, as the removable +4 part's use isn't very clearly explained in the PSU's instructions. Thanks

    or.. Cooler Master Real Power 120mm fan 450W Power Supply With Active PFC, Model "RS-450-ACLY" -RETAIL ($80) I'm guessing that they're all nice and it's probably gonig to come down to a personal choice, am I right?

    Ok, looking at 3 Mid to High Lvl Power Supplies, Opinions which would be based based on system and possible future addition of another duplicate graphics card? OCZ PowerStream 420W Power Supply With Adjustable Power Rails With LED Indicators, SATA Connector, Model "OCZ420ADJ" -RETAIL...

    Will This PC Work?

    Changed the Hard Drive, and will be looknig into better PS's tomorrow. I was going for better RAM as I have no background in OC'ing, and until this system is in need of it, I won't be diving in head first. The Ram I choose was not the best quality, but a nice mid-range choice, I think :P. I...

    Will This PC Work?

    Understandable, when that occurs (most likely a year or two from now), I'd upgrade the PS as well. Should I just take that step now and spend an extra $100 for a reliable top notch PS?

    Sorry to add another one of these to the board but I just wanted to have a few people check my work and be sure this would all work and I'm not making unneccessary purchases: Cooler Master Cavalier 1 Silver/Blue ATX Mid Tower Case With analog dial & 350W Power Supply, Model "CAV-T01-WWA"...
