No, I don't think they'd send you another one so you could ghost over it. :) That would be a sweet setup for you, but with HD companies trying to lower their warranty costs I have a feeling we won't be seeing a policy like that any time soon. You'd have to talk to WD about exactly how long...

I've only had one WD hd (20gb Caviar), but it exhibited some of the behavior you describe. The 'clicks' you're hearing aren't from the spindle, they're from the armature. The hd armature is getting out of alignment and attempting to homing itself, which consists of it disengaging from the...

So, lemme see if I have this correct: If XP1600 = walk, and XP2000 = run, does that mean Jeff7 = teh winnar? Running and walking aren't necessariliy two different abilities; they're the same ability (traveling in an upwardly mobile, bipedal fashion) performed at two different speeds...

Sechs, And what's the difference between the xp1600, and xp2000? Same abilities, different clock speeds. Perhaps I'm missing something.

Won't unlocking both processors and setting them to the same multiplier, and by consequence, same FSB settings (cause you can't run 2 processors at 2 different FSB settings period, end of story) be the same as running identical processors? Sure, you can't run two non-identical Intel processors...

Administrator or no, HD tach doesn't work on NT/2k unless you buy the retail version. It could be alot of things, but my guess is that it's NTFS, which I assume you're using. Oh, and I presume that you have all the correct: drivers, cables, service packs, registry tweaks, service settings...

So I'm going on this road trip tomorrow and I'm looking for some trance/dance/techno in order to make a compilation cd, right? Now that that's settled, I need some help looking for some specific kind of tunes... This is kind of like what I'm looking for... The Crystal Method- 'Cherry Twist'...

Not that I claim to be an expert or anything- I'm simply repeating what I've already read in the forums: the main thing that's keeping the chip from performing better at 3.0 ghz vs 2.7-2.8 ghz is the A) the lack of bandwith provided by the RAM simply because it can't go any faster, and B) the...

3 ghz scores are up.:Q Unless someone can convince me otherwise, I'm not going to push it any further. I hit 3.0 ghz, my goal from the start, but until someone makes a motherboard that can handle the 3:4 divider at 166 FSB, and the RAM that can tolerate the same, I'll just keep the chip...

2.88 scores are up. The RAM is holding me back. Or perhaps I'm starting to hit the limitation Thugsrook mentioned in the XMS3000 benchmark thread; something about the 854E chipset not being able to run 166+/- at the 3:4 memory divider...

Ran prime 95 for 5 hours (thanks for the advice, Thug) while I was away at class and it passed w/flying colors. Load temp was 57c, idle was 43c, systemp was 38c, and room temp was 38.5c. My take is that the load temp is a little high, but is also to be expected considering the environmental...

Sorry for not updating for a while, guys. My weekend filled up faster then expected, leaving me with little time for any more testing. I'll try to get some more done later today. FWIW, I ended up bumping up the voltage to 1.55 (1.5 actual) after failing SiSoft Sandra Burn-in. Since then, no...

From what I've seen in the oc'ing forum in the past few weeks, the fact that I'm still at default voltage with such a high clock speed is a good thing, correct? However, it looks like I'm about to run out of room with the RAM. My question is, should I just go to 1:1 and accept the diminishing...

Same 'ol cliche: "Long time listener, first time caller..." I've been watching everyone else's insane 1.6A/1.8A overclocks for quite some time now. Finally, it's my turn... SYSTEM SPECS P4 1.8A 400 mhz FSB Pack date: 8/29/02, Philippines PC: xxxxxxxxxxSL63X Version: xxxxxx-004 Abit IT7-MAX...
