SimMike2, My main drive is 320GB, and I'm running an E6400 @3.2 / 2gb ram, x1900xtx etc etc etc on an ASUS p5b dlx wi-fi. That plenty fast. I am trying to determine what size of primary partition, my C drive, would be best to host Vista, while keeping in mind that I want to limit that...

postmortemIA , I've never heard that one before.... By your logic, partitions themselves make no sense with perhaps the exception of hosting alternate OS's. The c drive in my case is a small partition of a large hard drive. The main aps on E, the very next partition are in reality on...

What would be the ideal partition size for an install of VISTA Ultimate? My XP Pro partition is 16Gb and I have 7.5GB free. I usually install major programs (Office, Photoshop etc etc) on a secondary partition. C:\ usually only has the OS and all drivers and utilities. How much space...

Wha ???

I myself am in somewhat of a quandary too. I bought and received a HIS x1900XT 256MB with it's great HSF. Before I bought it the x1950 pro had just come out and after seeing the benchmarks I felt that the slight premium in price was worth moving to the 256mb XT. Just after I got the card I...

The HIS ICEQ3 version would be the best, with a quiet HSF that blows hot air out of the case, and better overclocking potential.

Thanks for the awesome fast reply.... So now I'm stuck playing the RAM lottery game. It's going to kill me trying to decide on a 2GB pair. Especially as I am looking for the faster FSB with the E6400. Oh god, what to do, so many brands, so many versions.

Hi all, I have an E6400 and just ordered a P5B deluxe WiFi. Ram is expensive these days so I don't want to get the wrong kind especially with soooo many options out there. My idea is to get a cheap stick of PC2-5400 /667MHz. Then run big dividers on it and see how high I get my...

To any and all ! How are you reading your temps ???????? My old Abit Ai7 (865PE supported Motherboard Monitor- best ever) My ASUS P5P800SE used the supplied ASUS Monitor What can I use with the Asrock? I have my 775i65G and E6400 at 295 (just haven't tried 300 yet). 2 gb Mushkin...

cowlickkid, My x850 is was also originally a Pro that I flashed for 16 pipes and OC it to XTPE speeds. I added a Zalman to it to keep it cool and quiet Also have an Audigy 4 that I'll recycle into the new setup along with an AVerMedia UltraTV 1500 MCE Cheers!

Xvys, I appreciate your report! I too have a P5P800SE (with D820@3.44) 2 gig Maxtor DDR500 ATI x850XTPE AGP I'll be looking into picking up the AsRock 775i65G and an E6400. Hope I can get that baby up near 300fsb. Cheers!!!!

stevty2889, I have some small individual copper heatsinks for memory chips that I can cut up. Would you recomend I put them on the mosfets of my P5P800SE? How do I identify the ones that deal with CPU/Memory power regulation? Cheers!

This is an INSANE deal !!!!! :shocked: Count me in, I'm ordering one ! (I'm just so hung up on it's low FSB but I guess I'll get over it)
