    Bad router?

    A64 3500 Winnie --> X2 4200

    I just upgraded my CPU from a 3500 winnie to a 4200 X2 and I have to say its nice. The multitasking performance is second to none when running many apps. To anyone thinking about making the switch I would say its well worth it! Somethings arent much faster but when you are running two...

    Common seriously whats this bottleneck term. *educate me*

    Dont use raid 0 or 5, you seem to be financially comfortable with a setup like that so go for 4 raptors and run them on raid 10, raid 5 is slow for writing. Or if you are minted/lottery winner/bill gates love child get 15k SCSI drives

    RAID 5 ???

    RAID 5 is good for reading info and data redundancy but it suffers when writing information. My raid 5 array reads at 90mb/sec which is great but only writes and 20-30 mb/sec which is slower than a single drive because of the parity. I would recommend raid 10 if you going to be writing alot of...

    If your in the uk you can use a variety of modern broadband routers to make the connection for you, however you have to create another aol identity to do this other than your primary login. I have done this many times using a netgear DG834 series router for people that get AOL (no comment ;)) If...

    View Network Computers

    Dont do the wizard it sucks and changes the workgroup to mshome. The reason it takes so long is that microsoft uses a service called network locator to probe networks for shared folders and printers and build up a list of them on the network to display as shortcuts, which sucks. Try disabling...

    For best battery life and performance IMHO its best to iniatally charge the battery for a long time on the first charge, use the battery until dead then charge it for the reccomended amount of time.

    everything good thanks to the helping hands of you guys

    Try 11 by 240 running ram at 1:1 using 1.5 vcore, its works a treat for me! try lowering your htt as well, since I lowered mine to 3x I have noticed the case & cpu running cooler. Running the ram at 480 will let you tighten the timings a bit as well. My memory spd is 10-4-4-3, And i get 8-3-3-3...
