PERC stands for Poweredge Expandable Raid Controller. All PERC cards do raid. Dell has retired (I believe) the PERC series, and moved to it's H700 series controller.

Here's a short review of it: http://www.ssdworld.net/ocz_onyx.htm Sounds really nice, but it is pretty tiny.

Woot, thanks for the heads up. Placed an order for this after I checked to make sure Visiontek offered a lifetime warranty.

I'm in for one! Also, grats to joker for >10k posts!

Just wanted to come in here and post my appreciation. Picked up a lightly used x360 and GH2 for $250, getting $50 back, making the final price $200 (after 60 days).

This is an excellent PSU. With this PSU, my current system uses 110watts idle, up to 165watts under heavy load. C2Duo e4300@3.06ghz, 2gb ddr2, 7600gt, 3 HDD's, 1 dvd-rw. A good bit lower than my older seasonic.

I might have misreported the bios vcore, I might be thinking 1.3375 instead of 1.375. I'll doublecheck when I get home this evening. NB gets a bit toasty, but it's not painful to touch. I'll check on the mobo's double-posting this evening as well.

Terrific, thanks a ton for the advice. An extra .1v on the memory has allowed my system to run stable on Orthos for about 16 hours now.

Currently, going to Vista will drop your performance (general consensus, I believe). XP64bit, I'm not sure of the current state. Drivers used to be really immature, resulting in performance and compatibility issues. You'll want to verify in advance that ALL of your hardware has vista or xp64...

I just got my Gigabyte P35-DS3L, which was $95 or so at newegg. OC's are pretty good with it, configurability for OC'ing is superb, I really couldn't ask for more. I've heard reports of people pushing the FSB on this thing upwards of 500mhz, which sounds freaking insane to me. Running...

Well said :) And as always, quality over quantity (wattage). Do some research on whatever PSU you decide on, and take a look at the rail amps!

Ahh, terrific. So, an increase to the mem voltage is in order, or loosening up the timings if that doesn't solve it?

So, I'm running pretty happy with my current overclock. It's not too extreme, temps are acceptable. E4300 running at 340x9, 1.375v, DDR667@816 4-4-4-12, 2.0v (I think, can't see it in cpu-z), on a Gigabyte P35-DS3L. However, after approximately 9 hours, Orthos failed. How should I figure...
