    Feedback on this setup woudl be appreciated...

    Nip, as long as you're not using XP 32 bit, it'll be fine. Do a search on the net for a guy named Venturi, he's been runnning this board w/ 16GB for months now along with dual dual core 275s. Also, I'd definitely say get the 2x246 Opterons over a single dual core. You'll need that 2nd CPU...

    Prescott: What would you have done?

    If I was a Prescott engineer I would have included a grill attached to the heatsink. That way I could cook my breakfast in the morning w/o wasting additional electricity (even though the oven is probably a lot more efficient in its energy consumption)....

    SETI CLASSIC: Welcome to our newest members of March 2, 2005

    Thanks guys, You can also thank Assimilator1 for gettiing me to switch back over :) I won't promise much going forward, I haven't cranked any WUs in a year and a half, but I may get a few slaves up and going again as I see I've fallen a little behind ;)

    Whoose into Star Trek around here?

    I cried when they announced Enterprise was cancelled (not really, but I wanted to). It will be the first time in 25+ years there's not a Trek show or movie in the works. Enterprise has really gotten good the last 2 years, some of the best Trek I've ever seen. I was really looking forward to what...

    A question for people using the Silicon Image RAID chip (on a8n-sli for example)

    Hmm, is the NV4 chipset known for locks up? I'm planning on RAIDing from it, and stability and reliability are my top priorities. Hearing things like this scares me.

    Video Editing Computer

    Very nice. Are you (or she actually) happy with it? I too am looking to make a new video editing machine (with gaming as a secondary function) and keep going around in circles on the whole multi/single processor issue.

    MSI K8N Neo4 nForce4 Ultra

    gobucks, I heard it here on this forum, there are at least a few threads floating around where people were saying that their drives would drop with the A8N, specifically the DiamondMax and raptors. They'd have to do a hard reset and then it was still iffy if they'd come back. I did not want to...

    MSI K8N Neo4 nForce4 Ultra

    My understanding is that the NV4 chipset and thus of course motherboard support NCQ, but that the NVIDIA drivers do not yet. You can turn NCQ on from device manager, but nobody seems to have had success in doing so (results in large scale data corruption). So until NVIDIA releases new drivers...

    MSI K8N Neo4 nForce4 Ultra

    I'm also looking at getting this motherboard and would love to hear other's experiences with it. Especially if you have a 74GB raptor or a DiamondMax 10 running with it, I want to know if it drops the drives every now and then like the ASUS appears to. And I'd also be interested if any one is...

    Leaving TA makes no difference to most mods And that's the problem. Why stick around and continue to let them abuse us when it's obvious they don't give a flying flip about us or our efforts? Why promote their site with our team name when they don't even care enough about us to put a link on...

    Now we have 23 Seti Members over 10,000 WUs

    Thanks guys! It feels great, and will feel even better when the beer and babes get here;) Yeah, looks like we'll have 25 soon, IBhacknU is tearing up the charts, will cross 10K and overtake me here soon. Networkman is only 4 or so days away. Keep the list growing!

    Question about nexus9's SETI stats

    I also noticed ShuxClams and NetworkMan weren't showing up on Nexus9 or OrangeKid's stat sites. I was wondering if their totals were being included in the grand team totals?

    UPDATED! Epox 8KTA3 T/bird 1. won't reconize HDD, or CD/Rom, won't boot up

    Yes, make sure the cable isn't backwards. Also, are you using an ATA66/100 cable? If so, be sure there aren't any kinks in it anywhere. Gentle folding is fine, but a few times I have bent them a little too much at which time they stopped working until I unbent them. Also, what happens if...

    Abit KT7A-Raid RAM problems

    I've also had stability problems in Win2K since I installed PC160 Tonicom memory. It's been getting worse as the days pass by. I don't want to blame the RAM straight out, I'm still trying to figure out what is causing the problem. My symptoms are BSODs maybe twice or more a day that appear to...

    Anyone know when XP RC1 is? I thought it was suppose to be this week?

    Grapevine saying 2510 will be RC1 and released (at least internally) tomorrow. We'll see. 2509 was leaked just a few hours ago and was today's build.

    Need foam pieces for Athlon.......please read !!!

    Your best bet is probably to buy a cheap Duron. I've seen new ones selling for as low as $30. You could take the pads off of it and use them on the 1.4 while sending it back. In the mean time you can use the Duron until they send you back a new 1.4. You can probably find a Duron in the...

    FPS *drop* after GF3 install

    Well, the only thing I can think of is that the server is basing FPS off of the refresh rate of your monitor. Maybe when you reinstalled your card it went back to 60Hz, if that's the case up it and try again. Otherwise, I see no way this is graphics related.

    12.41 and Coolbits

    > what is the closest version to 12.41 where coolbits worked so i can copy the dll files from it? 12.40 coolbits worked for me, so that'd be the closest version. If I'm not mistaken, the WHQL's usually have coolbits disabled, which 12.41 is basically just the WHQL version of the 12.40's...

    Detonator 12.40 messed up Win2k

    Try going into Control Panel->Add/Remove programs and remove &quot;NVIDIA Windows 2000 display drivers&quot;. Then reboot. Then install 12.40's. That hopefully will fix you up.
