    Which DVD drive is best?

    I have worked with the Creative 12X and I can't say I'm that impressed. The drive is somewhat loud, doesn't really seem to be all that fast, although it performed fine and the DVD playback quality is only average. I don't think you'd hurt buying it but I would certainly try something else.. I...

    IDE or SCSI for Video Editing?

    Joshtek! So much to tell. #1, provided you set the RAID up in a RAID 0 configuration, that is stripping without parity, your data written will be spread across the multiple disks roughly equally. To give you a very basic definition of RAID and why it is faster just imagine you are reading a...

    Can I run my Thunderbird 1000/200FSB at 266FSB on KT133A?

    But how do I "unlock" the processor? Just make a dip switch change on the mobo or jumper change? I, unlike most, still prefer jumpbers and dip switches to maintain consistency across bios updates. I figure once I set my CPU speed (I tend to be conservative anyway), I just leave it...

    Can I run my Thunderbird 1000/200FSB at 266FSB on KT133A?

    I have a Retailed Thunderbird 1Ghz/200FSB processor, If I buy an Asus A7V133 Motherboard, can I then inturn just change the multiplier from 10 to 7.5? It's very important to me to run the memory at 133Mhz as well as the Processor at 266FSB. I thought Thunderbird chips were multiplier locked...
