    Question on Hard Drives - RAID etc.

    Hello, I'm thinking of purchasing a new hard drive in the near future, I already own a 120 GB ATA 133 seagate drive and I was wondering if there could be any conflicts when I buy the new HDD which will be Serial ATA. Also, is there a way to have more than 2 disks? I'm on an ASUS P4C800-E deluxe...

    which system is best for what ?

    well if you want to play games you have to get a good graphics card.. I would recommend ATI's 9600XT or 9800XT if you have the bucks. nVidia GF FX 5900 & 5950 ultras are very good cards too but @ DX 9.0 ATI owns the game... Games like UT? Just wait for Half Life 2 and Doom 3. Btw, you really...

    Prime 95 & stability questions

    Get a dvd, rip the VOBs off using DVD Decrypter, download DivX 5.1 or 5.1.1 and encode the VOBs twice simultaneously at 1000bps/slowest using TMPGenc or Virtual Dub Mod or anything you like. Another way of stress testing that I tend to like, is running Super Pi @ 32M and video encoding. If it...

    Is there a way to see what my CPUs stepping is without the package? [no text]

    it's an Intel chip, and by package I mean retail package I guess, the one with the hsf and the chip :P i have cpu-z but i don't quite know how to translate these numbers, i'm kind of familiar with FPO/BATCH #L338A985 or C30469-006 or something but not this.

    P4 2.6C@3.2 temps 26/30 on AIR ??

    You're so damn lucky :) very cool CPU.. could you tell us it's stepping? Your temps are normal at that vcore, from my experience with the C's it seems like w/ HT on, idle temperature is very very low but when on load it goes up to normal temps. If you disable HT you will notice a significant...

    What mobo will Prescott require?

    Anything with i875P would do? Also what overclocking abilities (compared to Northwoods) would you expect?

    Hyper Threading List:

    Photoshop 7.0.1 (dunno about 7 jumped from 6 to 7.0.1) also supports HT Says at the loading screen "Loading Multi-processor support". That easy :P

    http://members.xoom.virgilio.it/divxgr/404divxvcdsvcddownloadarea.html i tried this myself cause its fast, about 25% faster w/ HT on

    Hyper Threading List:

    No luck, I couldn't find anything that connects divx and HT... Timing with HT on and off I guess isn't very reliable either cause I think even if the app doesn't support HT it's still faster having it on than off, right? Found a prog that supports HT: Besweet Light It is used for audio encoding...

    Hyper Threading List:

    im using the same version of VDB and yes im divx encoding w/ divx 5.1, it is indeed possible it's the codec that has HT support. I can't remember what my CPU utilization was when i had divx 5.0.5 on though.. gimme a minute i'll find out..

    ASUS P4C800-E Q-fan?

    Does anyone know how to work Q-Fan on this motherboard? I tried all the values from 11/16 to 15/16 but there is no change in RPM of my CPU fan..

    Hyper Threading List:

    VirtualDubMod is using 80-90% of my CPU... Taskmanager CPU graphs show exact same activity on both virtual processors. I guess that means that's another app supporting HT ?
