Hi all: I have 2 Areca Raid systems on my workstation. The external one is a lot slower, and whilst to some extent I expect this - I'm trying to figure out if/where the bottleneck is.
The internal one is an ARC-1222, which has 6x Samsung 2Tb drives in Raid 5, and gives me ~330Mb/s sequential...
I have a newish x64 workstation, and a few random webistes simply wont load on it - like Craigslist. its very frustrating. 98% of sites are fine - its just random ones that give me "problem loading page" and "the connection was reset"
I have no child or website blocking software on there that...
it seems MS has a problem with the latest security patch for x64 users, and its causing BSOD for a lot of machines.
see: http://www.planetamd64.com/index.php?showtopic=23588
hopefully they will realise their error and remedy it soon, but meanwhile do NOT install, and be sure to turn off...
I partitioned off a part of my second disk for 20Gb 'scratch' space (virtual memory for photoshop) but when I look at it in Disk managament or in Diskeeper, it is 95% full of... something
however, when I go to windows explorer, nothing appears to be there.
I have checked to 'Show Hidden...
I have two macnines that I'm trying to get networked together through the router, and tried to ping and got total "request time out" results,
so I guess I have router issues?
they are both plugged into the same (a Linksys RT31P2 Broadband router)
and both can connect to the internet at...
here's a weird one - in XP Pro, when I go to Help command (Start>Help and Support)
it does nothing...
n-a-d-a-
whats up with that?
works fine on my other two machines.
can anyone suggest a good "motherboard monitor" type program to work with my new dual opteron/ tyan S2895/ x64 setup?
MM seems out of date now, though I liked its easy readouts of CPU temps etc, and would appreciate something similar on this new machine,
thanks,
paul
my floppy drive is recognised and shows up ok in My Computer, but it always tells me there's no disk in there when I put one in. what's up with that?
the green light stays on contantly. hmmm.
I don't remember unplugging it or touching it at all and it used to work fine, so what's up?
hi - I'm installing an Opteron 280 CPU with a Zalman Heatsink, and am ready to roll, but seem to recall something about cleaning the CPU surface before putting the paste on - but with what?
nail polish remover? lighter fuel?
or is it all just nonsense?
thanks all,
paul
my Lian Li 2100 came without instructions for some reason, (dropped out of the open box I guess) but with the screws etc.
so... being a total newbie to building own system, I'm not sure how to install my Tyam S2895 dual opteron MB - do I use the heaxagonal bolts with screw heads to 'stand...

hi -
looking at my Lian Li 2100B case and wondering what the upright bar with plastic flip flop toggles on it is for? (the plastic arms, not the upright)
http://www.lian-li.com/Product/Chassis/S_V_S_PC-V2100.htm
its near the top, just right of centre, with 6 or so black plastic arms...
hi all,
about to put together my first system. dual opteron on Tyan K8WRE, in a Lian Li v2100 case. I've got all the main parts, but I'm sure I'm going to find I need a bunch of tools/ connectors/ adapters/ leads/ what have you. all the easily overlooked stuff.
any recommendations?

just putting together a new workstation with dual 280's, Tyan k8WE, 12x SATA2 drives (10 in raid 5) 1 x Radeon x1800 card and 1 x Raid controller card, all in a Lian Li v2100B case (which has 12 internal hard drive bays) BUT... it seems this case can't take the PC P&C 850 watt supply which...
hi all,
got problems with an overheating CPU - (P4 3.06 533) - MBM shows it rapidly shooting up to 75degrees and onwards within 3 mins of computer booting. fan and (intel stock) heatsink appear to be working ok. the fan is certainly turning and the sink is seemingly well seated - with a small...
I have to swap my faulty power supply out for a new one and need a few pointers as I've never done it before.
I have a coolermaster case with an existing (faulty) vantec power supply, to exhange for a new Antec Neo 480 psu.
can't really see how the old one comes out of the case - 4 screws...
ok, so my long standing super reliable XP pro workstation has started to crash and freeze on me and I'm going to go nuts if its not fixed somehow soon.
I'm beginning to suspect hardware now (though could be wrong not being an expert)
problems is: random freezes (only hard restart works) and...
hi all:
having some problems with my XPPro SP2 system - which suddenly has become crash prone in the last 3 weeks. Been rock solid for 2 years and now - arrggh!
its erratic and I can't pin down why/what is causing it. no particular thing I remember brought it about - the first couple of...
how do I find out when a 3.06 GHz 533MHz P4 has Hyper Threading support or not.
Intel made both, and I need to know which is the HT one to buy the right one for an upgrade? (I need the 533 HT 3.06 in socket 478.)
do I look for a particular # like SL6PG SL6S5? or an L2 cache or ?
thanks y'all
I recently got a new Pentium M laptop (2GHz 533) and its so amazingly fast - way quicker than my 2.6Ghz 533 desktop P4, for the photo tasks I do, that I'm thinking of updating to put one in my desktop. Both run on 533MHz buses, and it s apparently a known upgrade route.
I see Asus does a...
