You guys are crackheads. I format and re-install every month or so. Why are you bashing him for re-installing often? Get a life. As Canterwood said, use one of those programs to make an image of your drive. This will make installing XP much easier if you do it a lot, like I do.

I will. The 2K / XP2 slipstreamed CD's haven't.... made their way... to my house yet.... I was looking for guides and was worried about the Raid drivers. Obviously the best answer is to just try it, was just hoping someone might have had experience with it in the past :) Now I'm...

Bumpity

Nope. :(

So the golden rule of multibooting is oldest OS first, right? Well, my RAID drivers that came with my mobo (S939 Neo2 Plat) says 'Win XP only' in big letters on it. I'm using dual Raptors, and planned on using standard Raid 0 with : C:\ - XP D:\ - Programs / Apps / Games (for XP partition)...

Yeah, I'm trying to read the overclockers.com stuff and that sort of thing, most of it seems outdated though when it comes to the guides. It's kind of a hard thing to understand while just reading, I need to go down to this one local store (Cryo Cooling) and have a chat with the guy there for...

Well, FX-53 (S939) coming to me in the fall. I'm a total idiot when it comes to OC'ing, but I'd like to do it on this system. I was just thinking about a few things. I heard the FX-53 is totally unlocked, and that one of the 2 or so mobos out right now have PCI/AGP locks. Am I wrong? The...

Ok, I heard AMD's run hot, and Raptors are noisy and run hot as well. I've also heard talk of grease or something that you put on the processor. Does this help keep it cool? I'm a newb when it comes to cooling and OCing, any help on what to do to get this system running cool and quiet would...

Yeah, I may do that. I heard Maxtor was good, but also heard some reviews saying Seagate is also top notch, for some reason I always assumed Seagate was a not so good manufacturer. Will this be quiet / cool on stock? If not, what should I be doing to make sure my system is cool / quiet. If...

A few questions here : 1) I've noticed most of the cooler made cases are aluminum. I was hoping to get a black case. Am I out of luck on this? 2) Specs of the future PC can be found here. Are there any special considerations to take involving any specific parts as far as quietness /...

The systems come with FX-53's, start at $4,800 USD. Dual x800XT's or 6800U's, take your pic. The load balancing system looks to work pretty well. I'd get it if I could afford it. They come stocked with liquid cooling as well. And you can't really run an ATI in one slot and NV in the other...

My friend runs dual Opteron 250's with 3GB of ram. Cost him $1,600 for the processors I think. He renders mostly, still gets it at 100% load easily.

Hahaha, I don't think 2GB is that bad, I like cushions ;) My friend does rendering and just got his Dual Opteron 250 setup, 3GB ram, and he actually uses it all (obviously) :P

My friend just grabbed a Dual Opteron 250 setup with 3GB Ram, I can ask him for some benches of some programs if you wanted to compare.

Thanks, I just wanted links from people who already know what they're talking about, rather than finding random, and potentially unsound, links from the net. Looks like far too much trouble than it's worth to me :P
