Im woundering if this is possible, I heard the Deskstar GPX's have alot of trouble with raid and win2k with the kt7. I just want to know if it's possible and how easy it is to do, with a k7t-raid and 2 15GB Deskstar GPX's using raid 0. Thanks GHURD

Well once again I thank everyone for all the help, with trying over 30 dif solutions. I finnaly found out it was the dumbest mistake of all, when installing the mb I added one too many metal connectors that attach the mb to the case, in this case the connector wasnt touching any metal parts, so...

Doh there's a slight chip on the side of the center silver piece that touches the heatsink, not on the actually cpu itself, just the thermal part. Should most local mom and pop stores have technology to test the mb and chip? If so I should go and do that..

Regretably no, Everyone I know has something other than a Socket-A CPU. I swamped all the jumpers I tried a PCI video card Memory Works fine CPU is seated correctly All IDE/Raid cables are disconnected(bare minimum installed) Motherboard appears to be working alright, at least fans are...

I was told that if there are no burn marks, and even with the artic silver all over, that shouldnt have any problems with the computer posting. Anyone else have any last min ideas?

SIGH, this is such a disapointment, after weeks of getting all these pieces together this happens. I was more than extremly carefull with that chip, I tried one last time reseating everything, the only two case led plugs that aren in are marked "INTRU" and "O.H. LED" neither...

thanks guys for all the help... Anyone know what if a fried chip is considered under waranty even if I use artic silver? the chip itself looks like crap with artic silver all over it, anyways all fans turn on, the mb connected ones, and the direct power supply ones. I've tried 3 dif agp cards...

Well I took the heatsink off, and theres artic silver all over the heatsink and cpu, I did a horrible job of putting it on, but that shouldnt do anything to it should it? crap, this isnt covered under waranty is it? btw there doesnt appear to be any burn spots, and everything looks in tack...

Well its looking more and more like it's the cpu, DOH!! I just took out every card other than the video card, and I did reseat the video card aswell, all ide/raid cables are out, ram works in other systems, so its not the ram. I reset the bios, everything seems grounded alright, only things...

Ok I've spent about 3 weeks building this computer, err getting the parts for it, they all finnaly get here, and I put everything together, and I turn on the computer to see nothing happens, the screen stays blank. No as far as you have already guessed im no pc genious. Anyways here is the setup...

What I mean is, I see nothing but problem after problem with each socket a motherboard, im getting a 900 T-bird in 3 days, I ordered a kt7-raid, but now im seing it doesnt have any win2k usb support. Or is that really the case? What is the best socket-a motherboard to date? I really wanted to...

I don't plan to overclock but would like to keep it as cool as I can. I need something easy to install. FOP32 has been recommended, but I've heard in several intences that it's real hard to put it on. So if you know of something that does work, is easy to put on, and AMD Recommended, please let...

Yeah your prob righ, I'll prob go ahead and get a cheapo duron. Ohh also, if you get a kt7 raid, are you getting anything else other than the extra raid controllers? If not, im gonna go kt7 or a7v, and buy my own faster scsi raid controller...

Sorry for all the questions, but in both cases, whats the best current CPU cooler for Duron going for maximum overclockabilty, and whats the best cooler for a 1GHZ-1.1GHZ T-Bird, no overclockabilty?

What about the new duron 800, should I wait like a week or two and go for that, and plan to overclock that with 128k l2 cache?
