By marvell - I would assume you mean the silicon image SATA chip onboard? I've disconnected my 2nd drive, and attached it to that. Windows update found a driver for it for Vista 64 Ultimate - unfortunately there is no way to do the same speed test as when connected to the Nvidia SATA port so...

Hey all, I'm trying to figure out how I can obtain better disk performance under Vista Ultimate (x86/64). Here is my system breakdown - AMD Athlon 64FX-60 (dual core) @ 2.86Ghz 2GB Adata DDR (2x1GB 2.5-3-3-5) Asus A8N32 SLI Deluxe MB ATI Radeon x1950 WDC 8MB buffer 250GB HDD...

Thanks for the link! Much appreciated. Very good reading =)

First off, here's the basics of my rig: Enermax 535watt psu (EG565P-VE FMA) ATI 1800xl videocard Abit An8 Ultra 2x512MB OCZ PC3200 Gold 2-2-2-5 I know this has probably been asked a billion times; but I can't find a solid easy to understand overclocking 'process' to get things...

all I can add to this, is that despite the fact that I'm on my 4th Dell 2001fp trying to find one without any dead pixels/sub-pixels and "perfect" backlighting (damn refurbs .... about 20x worse than my original new one I've had since Dec '04) compared to my Samsung 950p anyhow, this LCD is by...

hahaha, will do .. I shall report back. I'll probably end up ready to slap down my cash at the end of this month, just as LGA-775 is out .. lol then it will make my descision harder. Definitly going to grab a Prescott though. Everyone is on this stupid heat craze .. get used to it, CPU's...

How well does the Abit IC7-MAX3 accomodate coolers, like the Zalman copper "flower" heatsink? I'll be grabbing a 3.0 Prescott to overclock -forget these cry babies about the heat ... haha, they're just following the herd like usual- and would like to use the Zalman cooler, matched with the...

Uhmmm even Anandtech had a 3.2E running at 3.7Ghz with default voltage on air cooling. Quote from the article : "An effortless overclock gave us 3.72GHz; we could POST at 4GHz but we didn?t want to showcase what was ultimately possible with Prescott, rather what was easily attainable without...

Cool ... seems the Asus is a little better out of the two for stability and overall performance -not that the boards differ in performance all that much, but I'm a nut when it comes to that haha-. How about the MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R (Intel 875P) board? Apparently its a workhorse when it comes to...

cool, sounds good :) Okay, and just to be an arse ... whats the best motherboard you can buy for overclocking, stability and features for the P4?

Annoyed Grunt, I think maybe I you missed my point, or I didn't put it across well enough :P hehe My point in asking about waiting for PCI-Xpress was because of the complete change-over in industry standards. Such as when ISA slots were eliminated, it wouldn't have made much sense to buy a...

myocardia, I suppose not ... I've been thinking about buying a good watercooling kit actually, but I would be buying it with overclocking as an afterthought and noise reduction as the main point ... not that I wouldn't use it for overclocking purposes though :P but if its that much hassle to...

Thanks for the tips guys, much appreciated. So forget about the 3.2's and E's altogether I take it. Although if the E would overclock up to around 3.6-3.7GHz range, would it not be a better performer than an equally clocked P4 C at that point? As for the Athlon 64, you make a good point .. its...

Hey guys, This has probably been asked a million times but regardless, here goes. Which would be the best CPU to buy for overclocking purposes out of the following - INTEL -P4 3.0C -P4 3.0E -P4 3.2C -P4 3.2E AMD -A64 3200+ The reason for these selections is that they are all around the...

Hey Drag: Bash isnt the only command line system that allows you to do what you've listed. Since Windows NT 4 you could do everything you mentioned :) Such as ---> 1)No need to mount and unmout drives (haha how lame) 2)TAB - complete 3)Hit F7 to pull up a list in an overdrawn 'window' to...
