I just got an RMA unit Vertex 2 240 GB unit from OCZ. I would say it will depend where you are. Since I am in Brazil, it took about weeks, but if you are in USA I believe it takes half of that. My unit was shipped from CA, but I have a friend that RMAed a unit, and it came from Shangai. So I...

iFX what SSD did you get for it? And after you get the SSD in it working, let us know if you got any improvements in battery life. TIA!

I still have a Abit NF7-S rev. 2.0 that works, and a DFI NF4 Athlon 64 3200+ and 1 Gb ram still running.

I heard that ATi enabled directcompute on this driver on dx10 cards. Can anyone confirm that? Can't wait to get home and check that! TIA!

Exactly menthol1979!!! :D That is it! You got it perfect! Just a heads up if you are going to OC, I do not think it is going to be hard, but it will take a little time and some tries. But usually to OC to 400 Mhz FSB, you will run vcore, vdimm, @ default settings, the only thing is to set...

Hey menthol1979, I think you are confused about FSB and processor bus, and I will try to explain to you, and maybe someone can explain clearer to you. But since your system, Intel P965 and Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad, uses DDR2, the system will be quad pumped in the bus, to get to 1066 Mhz bus...

Yeah what I meant is probably if you leave in auto, the system will detect everything fine, and it will run async the memory @ 800 Mhz just fine, and if it doesn't, it just can be adjusted manually. Another thing to keep in mind is to update the BIOS, I do not know what version you have, but...

With the E6400 you were running memory in asynch mode, since it had 266 FSB and mem probably running @ 400 Mhz. If you were not OCing ur system. Now with the Q8400, I think it will be the same FSB will be in 333 Mhz and the mem will be @ 400 Mhz if you leave in auto, or you can set manually the...

Or you could do from a usb pendrive or something like that. Just open the command prompt (Has to be in Windows Vista or 7) And do the following commands: DISKPART LIST DISK (note the number of your USB drive at this point) SELECT DISK X (X is the drive number you noted above) CLEAN...

I just built a system for my nephew with a Cooler Master 550W, Q9550 @ 3.4 Ghz and a 4890, it is running just fine, v12+ @ 11,89. But I think it is on the edge also. So I think it will work just fine, but adding another hardware, or OC too far, probably might get you into troubles. But...

Yes XP will support SSD, the only thing you will not get support for SSD is the TRIM. If I am not wrong, the only OS you get TRIM support is Windows 7. I think if you have 2 Gb of ram, you will be fine to stick with Windows 7. I think all your hardware you will not have any problem upgrading...

I agree with error8... I think you are in a very complex situation, because if you go to a 4850 or a better vga, I think the CPU might be a bottleneck, and maybe you will need to upgrade the CPU if you get a better vga than the 4770. I got a 4890 and a E6400, and I think it is still a...

I had this problem, but did not show the same warning, but I am using W7 x64 Ultimate though. So I don't know if it will show this kind of warning. But it disabled aero, the transparency disappeared, I had to reboot to get it back to work properly. And if I oc the vga thru CCC, the screens...

OK! I am going to check what version it is on my nephew's computer. I will try tomorrow and report it back.

cmdrdredd, Sorry I do not know if it came by default or maybe I changed the settings, but now the PM is enabled so everyone can send it to me. I think you did a great choice going to EP45-UD3P! The only bad thing I think is the POST, it takes a few seconds to get into starting loading...
