    "Enable write caching on the device" causing SSD thrashing?

    Sorry for the super-necro, but did you ever find out anything further? I also have a 512gb m4, and it was essentially unusable until I found your solution (thank you!). At its worst, the system is completely unusable, with the cursor not even responsive. During better times, loading a simple...

    Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

    Does 1t not work for anyone else with the new 13 beta? I haven't been doing spi on this board. Anyone test if 13 is slower than 11, or if it's resolved? what are you guys able to drop pf to? I seem to be stuck at 7 with cas4 1:1. any lower it locks. also, anyone happen to remember...

    E6400 OC'd Temps

    that's normal, especially since you're looking at coretemps now instead of some diode on the motherboard or whatnot. as for overvolting, expect ridiculous increases in temps when you hit 1.4v, 1.5v, etc. It's obscene. Nothing like I've ever seen in the old days. Hopefully, when my water...

    O/C e6400, stock hsf, ddr2-800

    8x400. what revision are the corsair chips? if micron, try 4:5 and see if 44412 is doable with 2.3v I've got same chip same board. 3.2 was piece of cake with stock hsf at 1.375v (actual was 1.296v the ds3 is a little crazy)

    The Simple & Concise 7900GT Voltmod Tutorial

    What are you guys with 7900gs's getting for overclocks? Mine clocks to 580 @ 1.2v, 650 @ 1.4v, and 680 @ 1.5v. I'm probably going to give 1.55v a shot once I get my vf900 mounted since I really want to break 700. Hopefully with the vf900 ramsinks, I'll be able to do better than 800 for the...

    Cooling a 7900GS

    accellero is said to fit, as seen in other threads i've came across. also, it's listed as fitting the 7900gtx which is same design as gs, so it's fine. vf900 is a good deal right now at newegg, especially with the free ship with paypal

    Session 3 Initialization Error (BSOD) during fresh winxp home install

    hmm, ram tested good. Also, friend who bought the same motherboard claimed to not need to load any specific ide controller drivers during setup (doesn't make any mention in manual either) so I'll assume that's fine too. What else could it be? Tried different optical drive. And cd proves to be ok...

    Session 3 Initialization Error (BSOD) during fresh winxp home install

    OH WOW. I came across that page many times but I only scrolled to where it said "click here for solution" and then I had to pay for it. I never realized there were comments below. It seems like a mixed bag though. It is some via chipset (southbridge too) so it could be that xp doesn't have...

    Session 3 Initialization Error (BSOD) during fresh winxp home install

    Thanks for the quick reply. I didn't choose the parts, and the purchaser was on a very limited budget (about $250 and wanted to be able to game, had to be Intel, so primary focus was on the video card). I hadn't heard of Machspeed either (must be a tigerdirect exclusive. for the record, I'm not...
