Hmmm Ok, so how would YOU set up this hard drive? I only have 2 IDE channels on the board, and I have 2 SATA Channels. I have a floppy and 2 cd drives. Should I try to make this work or should I buy a SATA hard drive?

I have a Hercules Game Theater XP and I'd recommend it to anyone. It sounds awesome. It has just about every possible input/output you could possibly want. I wanted an optical out and a MIDI in out. Now I have my optical going out to my home theater system. My RCA outs are going to a...

Ok... building my first computer. Excuse my newbie nature, please. I bought this motherboard: IC7 http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/products.php?categories=1&model=5 I bought this HD: Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 160GB http://www.maxtor.com/en/products/ata/desktop/diamondmax_plus_9/index.htm...

Another thought... doesn't Windows sometimes schedule tasks to be done while the system is "idle?" I thought that was a time for Windows to index files or cruise around checking out the HD...

Hey all. I'm thinking about going with an Abit IC7 and 2.4C for my next machine, but I'm trying to figure out what the best RAM to use is. I probably won't be overclocking right off the bat, but I might try to in the future. I don't really want to spend over $200 for RAM, and I'd actually...

Yeah... but what I don't get is what is so special about today? You all got it today, my sister got it today... it all completely kicked in today and affected so many people... 8/11 - think someone wanted it to be 9/11 and screwed up the code?

Out of curiosity, are all of you afflicted with this running KaZaA or some similiar p2p file sharing program? My sister recently had this problem on her computer, and I'm trying to find the source... I'm betting on KaZaA...

Oh no... I'd never trust eBay for things like motherboards, but I figured I could shave a little off the price by picking up a few things there. Anyway, I wanted to add something else: Right now, on my current machine, I'm running the Sony Vaio stock Asus P4266LM motherboard with a 1.8...

Have you looked at the Hercules Game Theater XP? It's what I own, and the break out box has more inputs/outputs than any other card I've ever seen.

Hey all, thanks for the responses... Ok... well I have an electronic keyboard and need in/out midi connectors on my card. I also wanted something with an optical out, so I ended up with the Game Theater XP. Already have it on my current PC. I also already own a new Asus CDRW 52/24/52. I...

Yeah, I've heard/read that AMD MB+CPU combos are rivialling Pentiums for much cheaper... I've never owned an AMD before so I don't know how I feel about them. I have read that the Canterwood chips combined with 800 FSB processors are doing some amazing things, and that overclocking (if I ever...

Hey all... After years of being a slave to the Compaqs, HPs, and Sonys of the retail stores, I have finally decided to build my own machine. I've never been afraid of hardware, but I've been lazy and attracted to software bundles... Anyway, I've spent all my freetime this last week...
