    Can Memtest86 be wrong with the new Z68 chipset?

    Thanks for the reply. Exactly my thoughts. I don't want to risk it and regret it in the future. I might RMA RAMs for now and I'll see from there. I'll avoid 1866 speeds for now. Thanks!

    Can Memtest86 be wrong with the new Z68 chipset?

    Windows' own memory diagnostics also gave an error :( However, I just found something interesting. When I plug a single memory module (only one DIMM) to the motherboard, memtest detects it as 6-6-6-20 no matter what. If I add another memory module (dual channel), that is when timings are...

    Help in Aligning SSD, Vertex 2 (60gb) Raid 0, Dual boot Linux/Windows7

    Hi all, I just purchased 2 Vertex 2 SSDs running Raid 0. I only have the Intel Raid (P55, ICH10R) to use these. I don't care much about TRIM as I reformat every 6 months and I will not fill the SDDs anyway. I also have a separate set of HDDs 1TB (also running Raid 0). When I built my RAID 0...

    3 x X25-V or 2 x Vertex2/Agility2 in raid 0?

    Wow, those are killer speeds. Thank you for your input and providing screenshots. Since 3 drives does really make things faster (from your experience), I think I'll really just go with the Sandfornce ones. I'll pass on the Intel ones. Thanks everyone for your help. It's been really really...

    3 x X25-V or 2 x Vertex2/Agility2 in raid 0?

    That is what I was actually thinking since writing on an SSD is likely to be that low %. Higher read speeds would be better. I found some non-official benchmarks of the new Microcenter G2 drives from a forum user: http://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=34255907&postcount=66 He...

    3 x X25-V or 2 x Vertex2/Agility2 in raid 0?

    Yes. I saw that Microcenter branded SSDs which has Sandforce controllers that also made me interested. I heard that ADATA were the ones who made the drives for Microcenter. I assume that these drives will perform like the ADATA ones. I'm actually waiting for a review for these drives before...

    3 x X25-V or 2 x Vertex2/Agility2 in raid 0?

    Hi, I saw a good deal in Fry's Electronics for the X25-V 40gb Intel SSD for just $69.99. Since I'll be upgrading to an SSD with a budget of $250, this triggered my interest. Originally, I planned on buying a 2 x 64gb Vertex 2 or Agility 2 this coming thanksgiving sale and run these in Raid 0...

    How to enable TRIM in Raid mode - SSD not part of the RAID Array?

    Hey thanks for the reply. Do you think that there would be a possibility in the future that will make TRIM or GC work in RAID 0 for the F40s or maybe Sandforce will release anything like that? Right now, are there no alternatives for trim/gc in sandforce raid-0 drives? Thanks

    Asus, MSI, or Gigabyte P55 board? What to pick?

    Do you think that, that will be it? I think it is not that exciting, imo. No P55 mobo lovin? If that will be the entire sale, I might really consider the MSI one. We'll see. I'll post an update. Thanks guys. EDIT: Ordered and paid for the MSI with $50 off + 2 sets of 2x4gb ripjaws...

    Asus, MSI, or Gigabyte P55 board? What to pick?

    Nice. I saw that deal too from the news letter. I am and still tempted to grab that deal. I still have a few hours to decide. I'm still contemplating whether to get this or not. By the way, and update: I got an eVGA GTX 460 768mb SuperOverclock version. I'm one of the lucky ones who got...
