So basically the story lies in this. I had my box, upgraded two item, Proc heatsink/fan and videocard. Im have two Lian-Li cases, an old version of the PC-7A, back when it used to have 2x80mm fans instead of a 120mm in the front. I also have a PC-V1100, an older version of that as well...

Both of my Raptors are WD360GD which is the 8MB of cache version. Im sure they have made some firmware and other improvments along the way to this line of drives. Seeing as how mine are older I have to agree that the single 74gb 16mb of cache version would most likely be faster. So use the...

Ahh, guess I should have put my intentions in the OP. Anyway, the primary use of my computer is gaming. Yes Im a WoW freak! :D Other that gaming I do your basics, web surfing, outlook, word processing. Although I do fraps and create videos, its not something I do daily and need the greatest...

Hey all, just looking for a little bit of advise, tips, what you would do type thing. I currently run 2x36GB Raptor's in a RAID 0. Ive been running them for what seems like forever. I started with 1 of the drives shorlty after they came out and added a second shortly after they released the 74GB...

Had this issue for a while now with the Mobo/CPU combo. I say that because everything else has been replaced as this motherboard and processor have seen different cases, power supplies, memory, HD, video cards, etc. Anyway the problem I have is simple, upon rebooting or shutting down the...

Thats awesome the manual reports code FF or CF as one of the following. 1) BIOS chip inserted incorrectly 2) Incorrect BIOS update version 3) Mainboard Problem 4) Add-on card inserted incorrectly

On a side note I had some C1 errors. I move my memory from slots 1 and 2, to slots 3 and 4. This seems to have fixed that error. System Specs: Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+ CPU will uses aCooler Master Hyper 6+ Heastink/Fan EPoX 9NPA+ Ultra Motherboard 1GB Kingston HyperX RAM eVGA Nvidia...

Getting an FF error on the onboard display. Just built it today, brand new Mobo out of the box. Im loading Windows as I type this. However, I cannot get this code to go away. Everything seems to be working just fine. Anyone care to give me some insight on this error, well more insight than...

Thanks for the info and I actually had the PSU you linked in my cart and I figured for $20 cable management would be nice to have. I guess I was wrong. As for the SLI board, Crossfire will come out someday. :D

Thanks everyone, I think I have it down now on what Im going to get. feelthaflo, my = question, you answered it exactly how I wanted. I was just wondering how they compared to eachother. I havent had a ATI card since my 64MB Radeon. Anyway, here is whats in my cart currently. AMD 3000+ Venice...

So ATI X800XL PCIE @ $320 = eVGA Nvidia 6800GT PCIE @ $345 ????????????? All prices are from newegg I wish I could type today, all my edits are for typos

Well it sure would be nice if I could add, that number above should read $714. Thats with everything in my above post with an * by it. The cheapest DFI SLI board I saw on newegg, is $125, to move to the Ultra chipset is only $7. Didnt think much of it, but $7 is $7. Let me see what I can...

Thats my thoughts too, but I wanted to kinda get a poll and see what other thought as well. Im thinking Im gonna drop back down to the 6800GT, save the $160, run my cooler on it, and OC it again past 6800 Ultra speeds. This would also keep me from buying an expensive PSU to power toeh 7800, I...

I currenty run a Zalman 400w PSU woud this be enough for a 7800? I read that it needs a 450w PSU, just wondering if maybe they are asking for overkill as I thought its supposed to use less power than a 6800 Ultra. Currently Im looking having the following 2 Systems. The Intel will be go away...

The real killer in my project is my video card. I currently run a eVGA 6800GT AGP card. However, upgrading means moving to PCI-X and thus almost doubling my cost of upgrading. I would have pulled the trigger a long time ago if I did not have to upgrade my video card. I right at about $700 and Im...
