    Interference from Sata cables?

    I am running dual raptors in two seperate computers and I have never had a problem with data corruption. You board supports SATA already and the price of IDE and SATA are so close I would think that even if there was no performance increase it would be worth getting SATA just for the smaller...

    Presently I have 2 computers I use. One at college and one at home. Both computers have 2 raptor drives running in raid 0 through the a7n8x onboard controller. Since I graduate in a month I am no longer going to need 2 computers running that type of setup. Would there be any benifit to...

    PS2 Power

    Thanks for the replies. In thinking about it the cleanest and cheapest way to get the 5v would be to connect it to the 5v line from the PSU. Does anyone know if the KVM has its own internal clock or does it clock from the keyboard? -Mike

    PS2 Power

    Nope you really didnt repeat anything. I have tried different bios settings. There isnt a new bios out for my board yet (kind of annoying) there is only a new one out for the non delux version. -Mike

    Horrible Game Performance

    I tried updating the drivers for the monitor (KDS 19 XFlat) but that also didnt solve the problem. Any other last suggestions before I go sending my board back to ASUS and lose my gameing machine (well was going to be the gaming machine) for about a month. -Mike

    Horrible Game Performance

    I checked, all the drives are running in DMA mode. Yea I ran the rest of the tests at 180 and continued to run 180 after that. I have played with the CPU voltages, increasing them as .05. Asus probe (when it was turned on) never gave me a warning for any of the voltages. -Mike

    Horrible Game Performance

    I have a standard keyboard and a logitec mx500 mouse. I have tried the mouse with and without the drivers installed. I think im going to try it USB and see if that helps anything. Im going to reformat in a little bit and try a Ti4600 in the system and see if that helps any problems.
