    X58 Motherboards That Run 12gb @ 1600?

    Anyone have any experience or know of which X58 boards currently run well with 12gb of ram and can do 1600? I hear some boards, including the Gigabyte EX58-UD5/UD4P can run 12gb but can't maintain 1600 for memory, like it could only handle it at 1066 or even 1333 for some boards.

    I just bought the infamous Seagate 7200.11 1.5TB drive. It hasn't arrived yet, but I was wondering, are all these problematic drives dying from a mechanical issue or is it really mostly the firmware that's temporarily bricking these drives?

    Anyone know the dos command for this? I remembered doing this a while ago but can't find that command anymore and would rather do it manually instead of downloading a patch. I think winxp sp2 sets the max connects per second at 10, but it can be changed to anything up to 65535.

    Core 2 Duo and P3 Chip Size

    Do anyone know if a C2D is the same size as a P3 chip? What I mean is the entire chip, not the core. Reason being, I was thinking of using a P3 cpu shim after taking off the IHS from a C2D.
