    Don't flash Vertex 3 SSD with OCZ's Linux CD if you have Intel RAID

    Just updated Vertex 3 from 2.15 to 2.22 using the OCZ Linux CD image. After rebooting, one of my RAID disks in my RAID5 dropped out of the array. Ok, fine, "huh? this must be a fluke thing" I thought. Rebuilt the entire array over 16 hours. Done, everything back to normal. Booted up again...

    Sleep works half the time?

    Hey everyone, I have a Gigabyte P35-DS4 paired with X3350. While I know that X3350 doesn't have S3 sleep state (or something) compared to its Q9X50 counterpart, I know I can put the computer to sleep fine. The problem is, when I wake it up, it will sometimes wake fine (half the time?)...

    Sound interference?

    Hey guys, I'm in the market looking for a new Z77 motherboard. One of the big annoyances with my current Gigabyte P35-DS4 is that I can literally hear the interference of devices on my machine. For example, if I move my mouse, I can hear a monotonic frequency on my earphones. When I click...

    So I recently bought a new computer and was testing my OCZ DDR2-1000 ram. I found out that I'm having lots of errors in the 8000-8192 range, all with the exact same error bits (0080 0000). So that's already quite unusual to begin with (I'm running at 450MHz FSB with 5-5-5-17 at stock 1.8V...I...

    Question about bios reported temps

    Hey gang, I'm running a X3350 (stock) on a P35-DS4 (with unknown firmware...and the board was ordered a few days ago from newegg...so whatever the revision is, I don't know) with a 2000-grit lapped TRUE120. I just popped in the CPU and had to leave for work. But I had just enough time to look...

    TMU comparison on R600 vs G80

    Note that I'm not trying to bash either architectures here, and I may have no clue what I'm talking about (since I don't have any hard information on hand). I merely want to do a comparison of the texture system for both architectures. So if the information on the R600's TMUs are correct (I...

    PNY GF8800GTX

    So I want to get the new 8800GTX (I do GPGPU programming and I want those NV OpenGL extension real bad) and I've been checking up on the price. Most places like newegg.com are selling the 8800GTXs for something between $650 to $670, including the PNY model. What I don't understand is, why should...

    Hope this isn't a repost of someone else's post...but here's some info for ATi stuff (don't know about its validity) pulled from hexus.net through Tom's: New Lineup
