I wonder how relevant these Sandra scores really are. I'd like to know how they obtain their baseline scores. I'll try that patch right away and see what happens, but like 3DMark, I don't know if a few numbers really constitutes an emergency. I'll let you know how it goes. Wolf@Work

Interesting, I never even KNEW about this patch. BUT, is it for onboard-RAID solutions or does it include support for PCI based solutions like mine? Hmmmm.... Wolf@Work

Fair enough, thanks for the info! The other problem I noticed is my Sandra file system benchmark score absolutely went to pot since I installed XP last week. Last Thursday it was just over 34000, now it's down to 17000. I remember reading that losing disk performance drastically in XP after...

As the title suggests, is this a necessary function? Because the files are written to seperate disks in 'fragments', is the OS going to try and allocate all potions of the file in a contiguous fashion on a single drive (thereby defeating the performance of simultaneous reads from each drive)...

Skrill, Read my post about the infinite loop issue, there's something in there you should note: The driver developer I spoke with at ATi support told me that the AGP Aperture MUST by set to 64MB in the BIOS, or the ATi drivers will NOT install correctly. That should be your first step, after...

Ok fellas, those of you with the 8KHA+ may want to have a look: First up, system specs: InWin Q500 24" full tower case w/2 Sunon 80mm case fans EPoX 8KHA+ (BIOS date 3/14/02) AMD Athlon XP 1600+ (10.5 x 133 default, voltage bumped up to 1.80 from 1.75) 2x256 Generic Samsung RAM (RAM setting in...

Well, considering I wouldn't touch Windows XP with a 50 foot serrated anal probe, I think my problems would likely be far fewer. This whole infinite loop issue that many people are encountering appears to be centered more often then not around WinXP, however M$, being the "deny everything" type...

Hey fellas, just picked up a Radeon 8500 to replace my aging GeForce 2MX. I'm just curious whether anyone knows of a how-to page or has had some experience completely removing all traces of nVidia from my system. I'm running Win2K, so Detonator Destroyer is out of the question as it only works...

Hey folks, I picked up a GlobalWin CakII-38 recently for my XP 1600+ to replace the factory HSF that came in the boxed CPU. It's a black label 60mm Delta 7200 RPM fan and of course, full copper heatsink. My temperature @ stock was approx. 48-50 degrees Celcius idle, 52-54 under full load (w/...

Thanks for the heads up. I think I may just pick up an Enermax 350W. I'm gonna be dropping a RAID-compliant board in there, so I'll likely need the extra power to run the couple extra drives. Thanks again!! This place rocks... - WolfAtWork

Hey guys, got a CUV4X, just dropped a new 866 P3 into it. The system currently has a 250W power supply, I just wondered what's the recommended power supply config for a Pentium 3? I was thinking of picking up a decent 300W, but is it necessary to do so? Thanks for your help! - WolfAtWork

EDIT - 1.65, autodetected no problem. Set it up 6.5 X 133 (6.5 x 11? wft was I smokin?) :D Retail chip and HSF at defaults 37 degrees Celcius. Thanks a million guys! Much appreciated! WolfAtWork

Ok, so correct me if I'm wrong: When I drop a chip in this board, the BIOS will autodetect the valid range of voltages for the current cpu? So if I pull the celery out that's in there now and clear the CMOS, it should autodetect the Cu core and populate the voltage settings box with the correct...

I've got the newest BIOS flash (1009). Right now it's got an older Celeron 400 in it. Would this be causing the VCORE settings to look funny? I would assume the lowest the Celery's core'd at was 2.0V?? WolfAtWork

Hey guys, I'm a little new to the whole forum scene, but I have a problem that needs an urgent answer! I have an ASUS CUV4X (VIA 694 chipset). In the manuals it says the board supports 800MHz+ P3's. I just bought a P3 866, and I haven't installed it yet out of fear of frying it. The stepping...
