    connection problems (happens under vista AND xp)

    rebooting fixes it but I can't keep rebooting everytime this happens since it happens so often. it's either a hardware or software problem with this computer. I'm doubting it's hardware since I've tried multiple NICs. what other hardware could do that?

    connection problems (happens under vista AND xp)

    whenever there are lots of open connections (I'm not sure if it's the number of total open connections or the rate at which new connections are being made), my connection seems to die. any site with a hostname that I visited recently works just fine. if I was on wikipedia I can stay on...

    same size ram as well, or just speed? if the ram is faster but running at the same speed does it cause any problems?

    why do no socket 775 mb's support > 8gb of ram?

    why do no socket 775 mb's support > 8gb of ram?

    the woodcrest / conroe cpu's seem about the same if you only want one cpu in the machine. but the equivilent woodcrest costs significiantly more. the only reason I'm considering woodcrest is simply so I can have more ram. is this my only option? is there some fundamental reason why 775 mb's...

    onboard raid vs expensive raid cards?

    I'm wondering in general. no specifics in mind. my motherboard is the P5B Deluxe though. it's mostly for storage (movies, music, other data that's rarely accessed). but since I'm setting it up I'm wondering if I should have my primary drive seperate or within the array. the system itself is...

    onboard raid vs expensive raid cards?

    what exactly is the difference? what warrants using one of the expensive cards? I tend to use / need a lot of space, and I already have 2 500gb drives [and a lot of other drives, but I couldn't use those in the array] and I'm about to purchase more space so I figured raid was a logical jump...

    good program for Dual Screens?

    are you positive you were using the 3.x beta and not the 2.x version? I have vista and dual monitors. I installed 2.x and had errors, 3.x worked perfectly
