    new to overclocking with i7860 and giga p55 ud6 ?

    Hi guys, I'm a photographer and now using Pshop cs5 and lots of other programs and I think I need some extra juice. I saw a you tube video on how to overclock in the bios but thought it best to ask here. As stated an i7 860 and giga p55 ud6. The video said to disable turbo. While I build my own...

    Mobo and chipset for pro photographer ?

    Its for both, I'm a pro photographer, I need it for converting raw files, pshop work etc.but its also for my personal stuff too.. I think I would want to stay with sata raptors at this time. Is there any benefit to a hardware raid as you mentioned ? My current intel board has raid already or...

    Mobo and chipset for pro photographer ?

    Ha yes, good thing I didn't go there. So as it turns out that "person" actually offerd some good advice. If the boards (desktop/laptop) are compatible, just swap chips and get a better cooler for the desktop, I'm using a thermaltake volcano 5000rpm now for the 3.0.. Thanks for the input guys/gals

    Mobo and chipset for pro photographer ?

    Well than I'm the one that designed it, I thought/read that the prescott was a slightly better performer and had the choice of that or a straight p4. Its not a small laptop 17" screen etc...guess I should have asked before I bought.

    I use monaco rt94 with optix -xr for color. And my scratch raptor is 2 parts. 18 for pshop the other 18 for C1 and bibble preview caches...they rarely will be accessed at the same time... Now I have another question, when I posted this on Toms Hardware, that I'd got a sager laptop with a 3.2...

    Mobo and chipset for pro photographer ?

    Ok that settles it, I'll stay where I am.. Yes I use a matrox 650 and yes I use a raptor 36 partition for pshop scratch. But your responses have helped me decide to stay put... One of my new cameras make a 48 meg file. When I convert from raw it takes 31 secs. to convert one of these...

    Mobo and chipset for pro photographer ?

    I have built two machines, one with an athlon 2700/gigabyte ga400 ?, the other a 3.0 p4 with an intel 875 pbz and 2 gigs ram on both and a raid 0 w/raptors on the intel. I'm seeing all the new mobos and chips coming out and I'm getting itchy. The intel board I have is not really an overclocker...
