    P5K Deluxe/RTL8187 WiFi Ping Spikes

    Why would it happen to me with the RTL8187 and not to my roommate with the WMP54GS? By default we use channel 6, but the only thing changing to channel 11 did was make him randomly disconnect from the network (yes, we made sure his wireless card was set to the right channel afterwards) -- my...

    P5K Deluxe/RTL8187 WiFi Ping Spikes

    I recently purchased a P5K Deluxe and seem to be having some trouble with the Realtek RTL8187 onboard wifi card. Using a Linksys WRT54GS v5 router, the latency from my PC spikes to 600+ very briefly every minute or two. While I can't tell the difference surfing the web, it's making online...

    E6600/6700 Overclocking

    I guess another important question that isn't completely on topic would be how easily an E6700 overclocks to 3.6 GHz. I've heard pushing an E6600 up to 3.2 GHz isn't bad at all, is the E6700 the same way? I imagine I'll be using a P180 with an NH-U12F for cooling.

    E6600/6700 Overclocking

    "We were also able to boot and enter Windows XP at 9x408 FSB with the F6 BIOS but we had to change our memory settings to 5-6-5-18 for the system to complete the entire benchmark suite that includes eight hours of dual Prime95. The performance penalty from running the relaxed memory latencies...

    E6600/6700 Overclocking

    Update: With a bit of Googling it looks like both the P5B Deluxe and P5K Deluxe don't change the strap at a 400 MHz FSB, which is what I'd be shooting for anyway. Does this sound accurate?

    E6600/6700 Overclocking

    Thanks for the great explanation lopri. Do you know of any resource that would show the strap changes for various boards? I originally had my eye on a P5B Deluxe but a P35K Deluxe is looking more appealing since I think pushing the FSB to 400 would be a bit easier (moving up from 333 instead...

    E6600/6700 Overclocking

    I've been planning on building a new system with an E6600 (or even an E6700 considering the recent price drop) and overclocking it. From the information I've seen, overclocking seems fairly straightforward -- if I wanted a 1:1 ratio with an E6600/DDR2-800 RAM I'd up the FSB to 400 and drop the...

    Help me understanding E4300 Overclocking Memory Requirement

    I apologize for intruding on the thread, but Peter007 seems to be in the same boat as I am when it comes to understanding memory speeds with regards to on C2D systems. Let me throw an example out there and someone can correct my terrible math. ;) Going off of the following quote... Stock...

    Are you upgrading to Vista tomorrow?

    The business edition is being released I believe.

    VX 922

    So basically the 90GX2 is direct competition for the VX922 -- a gamer's monitor, with slightly slower response time but better color reproduction?

    NEC DiamondPro 930SB vs. ViewSonic G90fB

    I just wanted to drop back in and thank everyone for their responses. I'll definitely pick up the 930SB if I can get my hands on one. Thanks again!

    NEC DiamondPro 930SB vs. ViewSonic G90fB

    My old ViewSonic P95f+ finally kicked the bucket a couple weeks back (it went from odd tint changes over several months' time to finally dying completely) and it's about time to order a replacement to hold me over until I build an entirely new system. As such I'm in the market for a new 19"...

    Antec P180 Case Fans

    I was thinking of putting some Scythe S-FLEX fans in there. :) Good to know I'll be able to do so. Thanks for the quick replies!
