    Trouble with RAID setup

    SOLVED I have an Abit AN8 Ultra with the latest nForce drivers (everything ticked except audio drivers). I bought two Maxtor (rebadged 7200.10) drives and I used the NVRaid Utility in the BIOS and set up the mirror array between the two Maxtor drives. Computer boots from Raptor, but when in...

    Building a file server

    I want to build a file server. I already bought a Centurion 5 and 2 320GB hard drives, as well as an Earthwatts 380W PSU. I'm still in need of a CPU/motherboard/RAM/video-card-if-not-onboard solution. Any suggestions? I'm trying to minimize costs, but I don't want this thing crashing on me and...

    T61 - mixing memory

    I just ordered a Thinkpad T61 with 1GB of RAM (1 DIMM). I also plan to order this stick of RAM. That should be compatible, correct? Also, will mixing the memory be a problem? It should still run in dual channel, correct? Thanks.

    1680x1050 on a 6800 GS

    Will my 6800 GS @ 520 / 1250, which gets around 6200 points in 3D Mark 2005 be able to handle 1680x1050 on the 22" Sceptre X22wg? I don't really play that much, but when I do, it's mostly CS:S, DoD:S, and F.E.A.R. Combat. I'm not looking to max out the settings, but for the Source games, I'd...

    Dual Sound Cards

    I have a an Audigy 2 ZS and just ordered a Chaintech AV-710 so that I could have the best of both worlds. There's just one problem with that: http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/5276/0927062012wu1.jpg This board is really cramped. The red is the only slot available for the AV-710, and the...

    Anybody in ROTC?

    Well, college is hella expensive and I'm going into my senior year of high school now. Really stressful right now. I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do. I plan to double major in electrical engineering and physics. I visited a few colleges and one that really stuck out was Carnegie...

    iAudio X5 Owners...

    Is the joystick on yours really stiff or is it just mine? Sometimes the clicks don't even register and you have to move the joystick several times to try and force it to click. Does anyone else have this problem? It feels almost like it's jammed inside.

    Physics Question

    http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/1527/untitled6kk.png Those are the two questions, and the anwers are D and E respectively. I'm pretty sure #3 is D because the strength of the electric field is inversely proportional to the distance, but I'm not entirely sure. This review book doesn't do...

    Too much for a single outlet to handle?

    Would connecting the system in my signature, Z-5500s, a Samsing ML-2250 laser printer, and an LCD monitor be too much to plug in to a single outlet? I have all but the Z-5500s connected to this APC surge protector, and I want to know if it would be risky to connect them all to it. I figure...

    Upgrade to Z-5500s from X-530s?

    I currently have Logitech X-530s and an Audigy 2 ZS. if I get the Z5500s, will I notice a big improvement over my Logitech X-530s? What's better about these speakers? 70W vs 500W. Big ass subwoofer that can knock pictures off a wall. But does it sound better, richer, etc...? Or should I save...

    Tyris Monitor

    Text Has anyone seen this? I was going to buy one for my brother who needs a new computer and I'm kind of working on a budget, so this seems like a good deal. Even has DVI. Would the Samsung 740B be much better than this? Only thing is, it costs almost $100 more after you factor in the Tyris...

    LCD, DLP, plasma, don't care. I just want something supporting all the latest high def inputs. Up to ~$2500. 42" or bigger. Don't want it dying out or needing bulb replacement every 2 years. If it needs a bulb replacement in 5 years... ok... but I'd like the TV to last a little longer than that...

    Slackware and AMD Dual Core

    Is the default kernel (2.4.x) that comes with Slackware 10.2 compatable with the AMD Dual Core 3800+ X2? All I would have to do is recompile the kernel with SMP support correct? Do I need 2.6.x? Also, is the sata.i kernel compatable with the nForce4 SATA controller?

    6800GS Temps

    My 6800GS with the Zalman VF700-Cu and some Arctic Silver 5 is at 57C load (35C card ambient) @ 520/1250 (425/1000 default). Aren't these temps, kind of high, considering, it's pretty darn cold over here - about 60F? When summer time comes around, those temps are going to skyrocket. Are the...

    CS:S maps with HDR and DoD:S crash with HDR on, on an X2

    I have a 3800 X2 and 6800GS with XtremeG drivers, and everytime I play Day of Defeat: Source (which uses HDR), or any Counter-Strike: Source map using HDR, like de_nuke, hl2.exe crashes. The game just freezes, and I have to terminate it via task manager. If I set the affinity in the task manager...

    SuperPi on X2

    I use SuperPi as a quick method of testing my RAM timings, since it's extremely sensitive to unstable timings, moreso than MemTest86, which has a tendency to go for hours without errors on unstable RAM. So, should I run two instances and set the affinity manually as with Prime95, one instance...

    Just switched from an AGP ATi card to a PCIe nVidia card

    Well, I just came from an ATi card to an nVidia card... wow, this 6800GS renders like crap... I just played some CS:S. and the textures just could't compare. ATi was overall smoother gameplay. At a distance, the models look like CS 1.5 players... And this is with max settings 12x10. Any drivers...

    X800 Pro $150, or 6800GS $200?

    Which should I get: an eVGA 6800GS for $200 shipped, or a BBA X800 Pro refurb w/ 3 year warranty for $155 shipped. Looking for an unbiased opinion, but I doubt I'll get one. I will add aftermarket cooling and overclock.

    Seagate 7200.9

    What happened with these drives? Nobody carries the 160GB any more, which is the one I want. ZZF and NewEgg have been out of stock for quite some time. Weren't there some issues with the 160GB platter density?

    Torn between the DFI, Abit, and EPoX...

    I'm moving to PCI Express, and the general consensus seems to be to get the DFI. I've heard some bad things about it, i.e. the DDR VTT (which is sensitive to flunctuation) drooping under load. So, it's between the DFI Ultra-D, Abit AN8 Ultra, and EPoX EP-9NPA+. I want a board that can...

    Prime Priority

    When running regular Prime95 (where you can't change priority in the program) I'm stable at 1.5250 vcore. However, I download SP2004 (which runs on the Prime95 engine and provides a graphical interface) at 10 priority, it needs upwards of 1.5500 vcore to remain stable. Does the priority really...

    Bent Pins

    So, I decide I want to try to reapply AS5 to my CPU to see if maybe my high temps are a diode bug or if I didn't apply it good the first time. As I'm trying to remove the heatsink, for some reason, the socket lock lever let's my CPU out anyway, and my CPU comes out with some bent pins on one...

    Erasing Linux Partition and Giving it back to Windows

    How much do you think I would be able to sell an Abit AV8 K8T800 Pro Chipset and Winchester 3200+ and an X800 XT for on eBay, in say, June or July. What if I were to sell them now? I want that new Venice 3200+, DFI LanParty 939 Ultra-D and whatever's the best GPU the summer.
