    this is an ex-motherboard

    my computer got zapped by lightning a few weeks back. It was flaky for a while but weirdly seemed to be ok - especially after i replaced the graphics card. Today it wouldn't boot and after a fair amount of farting around I noticed one of the small capacitors near the graphics card pcie slot...

    Board: asus p6td deluxe v1 I've got it up to 3960mhz by only changing the bclk - to 180 and the multiplier to 22 But its not stable - crashed after 30 mins of prime95. EVERYTHING else is an auto. I said I was a noob. Core temps got up to about 65degrees. Every time I try to to change...

    hitachi 2tb in raid - bad idea?

    I'm currently using onboard intel raid (which sucks) with 4x 1.5 TB WD greens (which suck for raid) in a raid 10. Used for storing shed loads of BIG psds and video. Need the speed for the video want the data redundancy for those precious images (backup to a windows home server every few days)...

    Was wanting to get ocz platinum 12gb 7-7-7-24 kit but seems to be out of stock everywhere - possible discontinued. Anyone know an alternative with tight timings? Would it be a problem to use 2x6gb kits of the same stuff? (its going in a p6t)

    builindg a photoshop machine

    My AMD64 3500+ system is feeling slower by the week. I want to spend about 2K AU$ (about 1.6K USD) but I wont need case or power supply or OS. Thinking of going xp64 route (vista 64 not an option), and starting with 2x2gb dimms so I can expand. RAM is the main thing I need - processor...

CPU load peaks at about 25%, page file currently reading 768MB. I've terminted a load of processes, but I...

    stable 4gb board

    I like the sound of 4gb on the new DFI board, but I've got a matrox p650 that wont fit. (And I just dont need all those bells and whistles!) Anyone have any idea if the uli chipset that has both agp and pci will happily take 4gb and run stable at 400mhz? Getho

    does 939 suck?

    I've spent the last couple of months looking into my next board - which was to be a 939 board. Every board available has some issue or other. I was hanging out for the most recent EPOX 939 board but a visit to athlonmb put me straight there. Soltek board has memory issues, NEO2Platinum has...

    lotsa RAM Intel AMD 754 or 939

    Been hanging on for the epox 939 board, with the idea of putting 4GB of ram in it. Rumours are it wont work with 4GB. 2 questions: will any (non xeon) intel boards take 4GB? And... If I can only use 2 GB should I just get a 754 Mboard and put 2 sticks of 1 GB in it - if so which board...

    I want 2GB of Ram, which platform, which board?

    I'm pretty green, but I've spent the last week looking for a midrange system. I settled on the MSI neo platinum, then I started asking about lotsa RAM and everyone seems to think that more than 1 GB is not a good idea - not just with this board but with this chipset. Is that right? Anyone...
