I got it. Put them separately on the main IDE's and turns out one is bad. Thanks for the input. Kusang

The system: 1 Gig Athlon KT7 RAID 356M pc133 Micron RAM 2 IBM deskstar 30 gig ATA100 drives (brand new) The two IBM deskstars are on the RAID controller (IDE 3 & 4). The partitioning took FOREVER. 12 hours to check the drive integrity twice like fdisk likes to. Just made it one big...

I couldn't even get my 2 IBM 30 gig 75 gxp's (dtla-307030) to format on the raid. took forever to partition them (one large dos partition), then the format just wouldn't go. 0% after 5 hours. My block size was set to 16k per Paul's FAQ. I don't know what's wrong. I haven't tried the beta UL...

I just flashed my bios and no change. Still get that error message. I can see that people have the exact combo of the abit kt7 raid and the gig T-bird, can anyone help? Kusang

Well, it's creating my primary dos partition right now on my raid'ed 30 gig deskstars and going *really* slowly. That's not the main problem. Every time I boot, it gives me a "CPU is unworkable or has been changed, check setting in Soft Menu". This is only after I changed the cpu...

Some resellers are sending this heatsink and fan *cough*tcwo.com*cough* with the t-birds and it does NOT fit on the KT7. bent a couple capacitors and chewed up the platic on the outside of them trying to get it in. Hope I didn't screw up my board. Probably pretty stupid of me to get a HS/Fan...

"In the centre of the socket is a small blue component, which is raised slightly above the surface of the socket. This is the thermister that measures the temperature of the CPU. It is meant to make good contact with the underside of your CPU. It is therefore up to you to bend this...

hrm...manual didn't say anything. will look again. thanks for the info. KuSang

Settled on 384M. Good compromise from all the opinions I figure. Thanks for all the input. KuSang

Heh, might be a dumb question but a quick one. Just got my KT7 RAID and there seems to be what looks like a small capacitor or something sticking out of the middle of the socket. What is this for?? Can it be removed?? I can't put my chip in there with it like that. Help! Kusang

Thanks for the input all. KuSang

Rand: Gaming, high-end gaming. Mostly your FPS's...Q3, UT, HL, all which take a lot of system resources. 256 seems to be the general consensus. So another 128 stick would be overkill? KuSang

Yeah, Win98 kernal (ME to be specific). Thanks for the input everyone. KuSang

Building a high-end performance gaming system. More that likely: 1 Gig Athlon Abit KT7 RAID GeForce DDR (will upgrade when next gen comes) How much RAM should I have? Right now I'm thinking 1 256M stick of PC133. Will there be any difference if I go another 128? Or all the way up to 512...

Trying to decide whether to use scsi or a built in IDE RAID controller on the Abit KT7 for my hdd's. Would 2 EIDE 7200 rpm hdd's on RAID outperform 1 10,000 rpm UltraSCSI hdd? Money is not really an issue here, and I'm also considering going with a SCSI RAID array. Does anyone know of a...
